Agreed. The 4th round especially. At 15:20, that's an obvious false start by Harris.. By the time the Ref said go, he already had Hale on his side of the table.

This is what Devon means when he says it doesn't need to be 3 on 1.

I’m not a big fan of Geoff Hale but Harris was def. Hustling there. We need new refs seriously....

While I agree, I also believe that both of Geoff's wins were clearly false starts. It's just so difficult to ref arm wrestling, and due to burnout it's not like you can just keep restarting matches. Still fun to watch though

Sometimes I think bart is a really good ref, then sometimes this happens :/ time for some new refs maybe with less personal investment

What an excellent victory for Bart Wood and Sam Harris. You can tell Bart is really proud to be a member of Team Harris. Why does it seem like WAL has a personal beef with Geoff Hale? Look up WAL 404 versus Sheldon. Bart stole this win from Hale. Put the bottle down, Bart. It’s compromising your judgment.

Another uncalled, false start on Harris in round four.

Wtf are you people on? If they're both loading before the go, you can't only blame Sam. Stop being гεtαгdεd

The only way that Sam Harris gets the win is if Hale literally doesn't get to start with his arm on the pad. Makes Hale start with his hand well beneath Sam's before the match even starts. At that point, Hale doesn't get to even stand a chance because he literally starts without any access to power whatsoever. Anytime he was even given a shitty position, Hale crushed Sam with relative ease. This kind of bullshit is why armwrestling isn't and won't ever become mainstream. Anyone that watches this match learns that it's all about the start and who can cheat the most. It's not about who's stronger.

@@monsoon1174 Sam is suppose to do that. Sam is pulling Geoff across the table everytime he wins. This is why Hale is in the position he is in. Sam has crazy back pressure. Geoff is complaining that Sam keeps pulling back while their in the grip. And in a way I think it's normal to slightly start pulling before the initial GO. Obviously their is tension and fighting for positioning while in the grip. Watch those rounds again and tell me if their is enough evidence to call Sam's wins fouls. I've seen tons of matches that start off the same way and are not called fouls. Personally I don't like the way Sam keeps pulling back.. I can see it everytime he armwrestles but honestly I don't know If I would call them fouls unless it was more obvious and unfair advantage before the start.

@@house_greyjoy But Sam has to earn that position using his rising power. He starts with his hand risen wayyyy above Hale's hand from the get go, making the match uncompetitive. This is what makes the match so meh, especially when combined with fowls. I think it's called posting when someone does that, and you're supposed to do that, but the problem is the Ref isn't supposed to let you post a full six inches over another person's hand. It makes the leverage completely unfair. That's why the match went from Hale dominating to him being unable to do anything. That sucks to watch when the playing field isn't even close to fair. I think this is why armwrestling in general isn't that popular in the mainstream sprots environment.

@@monsoon1174 you nailed it i was honestly kinda disgusted with the early hit in rnd 4...thought fs it was gonna get called, i think Geoff just isn't WAL'S version of "marketable" so bart being bart gave sam the edge he needed, like in all sport the line that separates 1 from 2 is razor thin...hence the emphasis on fairness, any interference can change the outcome irrevocably

Breakdown according to me: 1st pull Geoff's game. Power too strong and superior position. 2nd pull Again, Geoff's game. Too much power in combination with the very nice position on Sam. 3rd pull Champion's response by Sam, nothing wrong with this one. Sam's game and he deserved the pull. 4th pull Sam hits early => Jumpstart. Played the video back at 0.25x speed and Sam hits on the end of "hands" (as in "close your hands... GO!). He doesn't hit on "GO!"and that's why he got the superior position on Geoff. But the strap setup was well done from Sam. I also think that Geoff didn't expect Sam to hit so early, which can happen but then it can't be a jumpstart. 5th pull Bart's game. The 2 fouls were given WAY too early and Sam capitalized on it by using huge back-pressure to pull Geoff of the pad. Intelligent armwrestling on his part. Also, Sam again hits way early and curls in. Bart is known for giving fouls for curling in early (see match: Devon Larratt vs Jerry Cadorette). Devon once said something beautiful to Bart in his match with Jerry on WAL 402: "Dude, he does the same thing to me, I'm just winning." I think the problem with Bart is that he goes the underdog an advantage. Which is a f*cking c*nt move. So, is at the end Geoff robbed of the hammer? Yes and no. Sam was not like "CLEARLY" the weaker puller here. He was in the game after he was back awake again after losing 2 pulls. But then again, Bart gave advantages to Sam that should not have been given. So yes, we could argue that the Geoff was robbed and that Bart has to rethink how he is going to do his refereeing in the future because Bart is a good referee, but with every referee comes mistakes. As well in MMA, as in soccer, as in armwrestling.

Still a very entertaining match, i hope armwars or pound for pound gets to this level of production.

U guys didnt see hale jump the start the first 2 rounds thats why sam started doing it back . main thing i hate about this sport false starts happen all the time and the ref hardly ever calls it . each round each person should get 1 false start then the next one you automatically lose. Sam was pulling hales arms accross the table tho hale should of hit him with the kingsmove and tried to regain position .

Watch that shit in 0.5x speed and see the gap between the ready go and Sam’s head start lol

They've got to replace Bart. Pay the extra money and get someone better.

0:02 "toasty"

Non armwrestlers should know Sam Harris took advantage of the modified WAL pads, as it favors people that pull backwards. Real table specs have an EVEN 7x7 pad, so it would be interesting to see them do a rematch on a standard table.

For a second I thought it was going to be Sam Harris the neuroscience guy

вот это матч!!)))

Let slip the dawgs of Hale! Raise some more Hale bro! No mercy, all victory! Hale's one of the smartest amrwrestlers in the sport! Beat him once, count on him bringing something different to the table for the win. This is far from over. Elbow hit the table and two fouls before, sh_t happens but I'd love to have seen this through.

Wtf haris!!!! Bad start dude

Well I haven’t even gotten to read these comments but I am sure 98% of them are about the ref and how Sam was pulling even before he was given the go. Cmon now.
