There are 2 stages of John: The composed and calm John, and the annoyed, infuriated John. The 2nd stage only happens when referees make him angry. Don't ever pull him in that stage unless you are a super heavy weight, Pushkar-level beast.

[@mike7419]

There is a 3rd stage. That's when John gets upset with his opponents. In my opinion that I the scariest John. He doesn't play or feel out his opponent when he is pissed at them. He smashes them.

[@HM-cj8lf]

I don’t know if people who are not very familiar with the sport of arm wrestling realize just how impressive this is. Here is a guy who is almost 60 - yes 60 - and still beating some of the top competitors in his sport. Truly remarkable! The GOAT of GOATs.

[@LeahRobb]

The most remarkable part of it is, that he is taking fights pretty much every month and cannot be on his top performance each time. Here he says his arm and wrist felt good, but didn't mention his shoulder. I think it might not totally have recovered from the Pavlo match 3 weeks ago

[@Zenzuu]

John Brzenk is an absolute living legend. Sure he's lost matches, but the man has cemented his status dominating the sport for over 40 years often beating guys who are much bigger than he was during his prime. Sure there are other arm wrestlers who are more popular/well known or better ambassadors for the sport. Longevity, accomplishments, status & universally respected is what defines John’s legacy as the GOAT. Even now at age nearing 58 soon he is still a beast for his weight class. He is indeed the perfect storm ⛈ 💪 🔥 🐐 Thank you Engin for setting up all these amazing matches and events.

[@QuietToproll]

Still winning top pullers at 58 with his permanent shoulder injury. Over 500 titles, nobody comes close.

[@saltedllama2759]

And he's beating much younger guys who are in their prime, when he has chronic injuries limiting some of his capabilities. Toddzilla doing it too. They are also proving that this idea the sport has "evolved" past them, or that John got his glory in the days when the field was weaker or whatever is bullsh*^. John still beating prime guys in his class at age 58 is proof that his way works, and he would have been dominant in any era.

[@QuietToproll]

@@saltedllama2759 I agree. The level of arm wrestling didn’t increase for heavyweight and under. Only the super heavyweights have reached a new level. There’s just more pullers now so it’s harder to win tournaments compared to the past.
