Welsh_red 5,002 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 I've said it before I reckon if as much money was put into arm wrestling as into power slap it would be better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Comparing them by saying that I think if all the money thrown at power slapping was diverted towards arm wrestling arm wrestling would be a much bigger success . I made a post on here about it before (not sure where) Arm wrestling has a place in everybody's heart and mind . Everyone has seen it in pubs and in school or at home . Everybody has had a go at it at some point . I'd love to see where it would get to with major backing I don't think I've met anybody that hasnt said power slapping is anything other than stupid . The only thing that gets people talking about it is the insane knock outs in small clips on the Internet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huge match coming up November 11th Devon Larratt v Denis Cyplenkov,can be seen on Coresports if anyones remotely interested 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
