There's just something so epic about being jacked and wearing a polo shirt to an arm wrestling match.

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Back in the early 2000s, there was an arm wrestling fed that required all participants to wear those kinds of shirts. I remember watching one of the tournaments from that fed on ESPN. Ron Bath, John B., and Bagent were all involved. I wish I could remember the name of the event. I think Ron Bath won the thing right hand too.

[@kirkvj8330]

Yeah also a dress shirt

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

@@kirkvj8330 Yes I wonder if that's the one I'm thinking of. Wasn't it around 2004? I remember also Jerry Cadorette and Marcio Barbosa were in it. It came down to Brzenk and Bath on the right hand, and Bath took it because Brzenk was coming off a shoulder injury. Bath was also very dominant that year. It was one of the few times I saw Brzenk lose in a tournament style. He's lost tournaments before, but he was on a 20 year winning streak for supermatches.

[@dfpguitar]

it's actually shot incredibly well, whoever was the camera operator was very smart. Most of the time, non HD video shot in anything but incredibly bright studio light or sunshine would be unwatchable. The camera person was getting up real close to subjects so that faces filled up the screen, this maximised what resolution the camera had and whatever light was available.

[@johnbraucher1499]

Good quality for such, makes ya wonder how much technology they hold from us, until the right time to make more money off of it. Should be way more progressed in that amount of time.
