John is a classy guy. The arm wrestling community should put together a gofundme campaign to help him get his shoulders fixed. He’s given enough to the sport, it’s time for everyone to give back.

[@chubil6338]

Word.

[@TimmyTurner421]

Surely he would accept IF it wouldn't come with the requirement of the supporters to see him compete again. I think he made it clear that this is it. He doesn't wanna take any chances and potentially damage his body any more at this point.

I love how he can be a inch from getting pinned and still overcome and pin his opponent. Without the KINGS move.

[@shadapakap]

When John Brzenk speaks, I listen.

[@nougatbitz]

Millennials watch and witness. This is an individual who grew up in a time without the (social) media hype messing with his ego. Notice how relaxed he is. How he can acknowledge if someone else might be better than him. Him being intrinsically motivated (doing it for the fun of it), rather than being concerned of what others think or expect from him. This is a healthy mind.

[@streetstatics]

John is the best ever, he did for armwrestling what Arnold did for bodybuilding

[@chetchelios7614]

and what Al Gore did for Manbearpig

[@Muskiehunter4841]

as a pain physician who specializes in regenerative medicine treatments, John should get his shoulders treated with a regenerative treatment. It is rare that it does not "tighten" and rejuvenate the strength of tendons and ligaments. You can have the rotator cuff surgically repaired but the "cuff" is still loose. Tendons may get surgically reattached or cartilage trimmed, but only regenerative injections will restrengthen these damaged loosened ligaments/tendons. There are a few specialists in Arizona but John should give these a try if he still suffers from shoulder or elbow pain or instability. IF someone can pass the word to John I would love to help him. I can refer him to someone in Arizona or I would treat him with no charge but he would have to fly to Minneapolis. I love watching him AR

[@rjohnson7]

If John is serious about getting stem cell treatment or anything else to get back in the sport I guarantee his fans would all pitch in to help him with the cost. Just having him in the sport again would be well worth it. Lets start a GoFund page for it Ryan!!

[@monkkeye]

For sure I would donate without hesitation

[@scrimmo]

Stem cell and plasma treatment is unproven and does not produce consistent results. It’s basically considered alternative medicine.

[@tracy121171]

I was there in Petaluma, CA at the world championships during the early 90's and I got the chance to see John compete. It was awesome seeing a light-heavyweight (John) win in his weight category and in the heavyweights. I was lightweight and got eliminated in 6th place. But it was an honor to see John in real life and get to be part of his legacy and the great sport of arm-wrestling.

[@sschevy8558]

Amen. He didn’t seem to carry any fear. He worked his plan and usually went home like winged victory.

[@dqreps]

Man, John is sooooo humble. Love this guy! Absolute legend. One of the greatest, most dominant athletes of all time. #GOAT

[@darylloth3237]

I always thought that John was a great sportsman. I'm even more impressed after this interview. He has the right to trash talk more than any other athlete who has been at the top of their sport. He is a living legend yet he is as humble as they get. He even has a healthy attitude about those who use "the juice" too (we all know who they are). It's great to see him relaxing and conversing in his back yard with a conscientious, well articulated and respectful interviewer. I also like the playful jabs towards Devon. I really like what you're doing, Blue. Keep up the enthusiasm, your level of class, and the healthy promotion of the sport. You are helping us in getting to know the important players. I think interest in the sport IS growing due to the internet. You wouldn't believe that from where I am (living beside a rainforest national park in the "outback" of Costa Rica) that I was able to watch the Bottom 8 competition live-streamed! Keep this great content coming. I'm subbed and a fan. And congrats on your well-deserved Bottom 8 win! Cheers.

[@onthe1481]

You know what I like about John the best. He's not pretentious he is just a Solid alpha male . He looks straight at the camera answers questions he's never silly he just a straight up throwback and reminds me of life father. I believe this all contributes to why he was so great and still is for so long there's nothing silly about that dude. He's always been great while working a full time job. John has made many sacrifices to be good when most would be lazy and put off till the next day I think John sacrificed and put out what he needed to do to be the best. This is my opinion and does not make it right.

I remember a tournament I went to at the Sands-Reno in the mid-80s where John B. entered a bunch a weight classes and only lost to one person, a super heavy who's name escapes me. I met John's dad and brother there too and John beat them too. A couple other notables he beat were John Walker, Allen Fisher and Dave Patton. I was only 150 then, so I dodged that Brzenk bullet. Come to think of it, I don't think John was even old enough to gamble there.

I want a new movie/ documentary strictly about John’s life and career. John Brzenk deserves all this respect. I don’t care one bit what the haters say.
