X ARM
by David GuidoHere are a few photos... photo 1, photo 2, photo 3
We show up to the American Sports University in San Bernardino and take a seat in this small, closed off area of the gym. There's an arm wrestling table up on stage with a big "X ARM" logo behind it. Camera crews from RipeTV.com were setting up, so expect the whole thing to be on their website, and possibly TV, anytime soon.
The first fight consisted of Ivan Gatoloai giving Rick Cheek a hammer fist to the top of his head, cutting it open, knocking him out, and leaving him dangling from the table. My jaw dropped.
James Cordney (Gladiator Challenge champion for 205 class) gave everyone a great show the day before by kicking his opponent in the head 3 times to knock him out. Today he broke his hand on Andy Flennay's face, to knock him out in 4 seconds with 9 punches, claiming the "fasted knockout in X ARM's history".
Luckily, I caught it all on my cell phone...

Even though the sport is literally 2 days old, it was put together very well and was definitely fun to watch. But watching Cheek dangling from the table hook gave me a creepy feeling. I think some kind of quick-release would help. And oh yeah... Ring card girls... they definitely need ring card girls!
