2006 NAL - Michael Todd vs Ron Bath

[@StevenRayW]

My my my...can't believe there was a time when Todd actually pulled without hiding under the table!

[@Alex-1750]

@StevenRayW But got crushed from aging Ron Bath

[@Nick-cp8wf]

Ron was actually at his strongest here, was on a healthy amount of performance enhancers and had of course the most experience and technique at this point. Bath was top 5 in the whole world at this time and you make it sound like todd is pulling an ageing bum.

[@Alex-1750]

@Nick Only a fool would call Ron Bath “a bum”... In fact when younger he was one of the very few giving Brzenk hell and even winning him... But come on man here wasn’t Bath’s prime..

[@ituksw]

Thats why Ron beat him as Todd didn't lie under the table, Todds got a big mouth and didn't back it up

[@humanbean3]

man this match is crazy to me still. its no wonder michaels arm is so messed up. there's no way someone is holding with their "bicep" for this long. the announcer is either dumb or being flattering on purpose. he's obviously putting 90 percent of the pressure on his actual bone/joint. just resting in arm break position. crazy.

[@derekelshaw4242]

Todd has the worst technique ever. Looking a compete 90 degrees away from his hand. No wonder he broke his arm so many times. Now we are stuck with kings move cause that's all he can do now. Don't be like Todd

[@JohnjOcampo]

[@neil9383]

@@JohnjOcampo Everyone knows it's the King's move, but most believe it makes the sport boring and moves the sport in the wrong direction. Even John Brzenk said he doesn't like it in the sport... but I suppose he should respect it b/c you said so?

[@JohnjOcampo]

@@jaegerschtulmann how many ignorant statements, lets start with the fact that john faced the defensive king's move which clearly both john and devon exposed, the first time we really saw the true offensive king's move was against devon in 406 which he couldn't crack. You mention all those guys and yet devon also lost against them in a uglier fashion lol, he got destroyed while michael put a great fight against dennis and got two wins on him, as for levan we dont know cause they havent arm wrestled yet you are talking as if michael already lost to him lol. The king's move move beat devon, jerry and Chaffee all in a row, good luck to the next guy cause he is going to be put thorough a world of trouble. Devons king's move is weak in comparison to michaels.

[@sbald290]

@William Boyle I probably have seen the match you're speaking of, but right now i can't remember, but you tell that Todd is a strong and good armwrestler because 1 time he flashed Devon? Watch like every match of Michael "your idol" Todd after 2015, he uses only the king's move to burn out the power (that he doesn't have) of the opponent. P.S. And yes he wins a lot, because with the king's move you need to have strong bones (he was the master of breaking "is own" arm) and the weight, and how you see he's like a marshmallow

[@LastPrecent]

@@sbald290 You got no clue what the fk. you talking about. Go learn more about armwrestling and then talk, not this Bullshit nonsense. You are just listening what every other nonarmwrestler has to say and proudly present it as Michael is nothing and can only win with Kings Move. He is freakishly strong and he has freakish ammounts of power aswell. Are you deluted or what??? You wrote it like he was braking his arm just on purpose.... '' (he was the master of breaking "is own" arm'' )

@Nika Grdzeli If you like his style it’s your problem buddy..no one stops you. Btw he didn’t break his bones during kings move , and it’s not wise to break your bones 100times so you can perform an ugly km later in life..

[@Nick.L.]

@@Alex-1750 no, i dont like his style, the reason? I think while he kings moves, he fouls a lot and isnt stopped by the referee, not because i dont like kings move. Also i didn't mention anything about the style, its that a lot od people complain about him in general and make jokes about him being a queen and jiding under the table. While he used to be the manliest puller ever. All in, bone to bone pulling. The kind of pulling when the person with the strongest bones wins. He has broken his bones many times. He has experienced 100+ bone mini fractures. The only reason he kings moves is that he cant do anything else. His right arm mobility angles are 90-160. So he cant close his arm and he cant fully extend. If not that he still probably would pull like he did. Also even to his fouls and wal bad refs and everything, he is still very strong and that shouldn't be overlooked.

Sitting "under the table" doesn't generate power. I'm assuming you don't arm wrestle yourself?

@Craig Laycox It doesn't compared to other more conventional pulling styles. I'm not a fan of the Kings Move but I'm not going to pass it off as "cheating".

[@juleshakimtryingtodorandom7512]

Why did they stop giving intentional slip fouls

[@NSB25445]

Because there is no way to tell if it was an intentional foul. For example: You go against Taras Ivakin, who is going to try to top roll, and you also go for a top roll even though that isn't your technique for the match, and you get an intentional slip. How will the referee tell the difference? Or a flop wrist where I don't have the finger strength to hold on. Who can say that I slipped intentionally?
