[@polarbear4612]

No flying elbows, no false starts, no ridiculous posturing. Just pure armwrestling dominance.

[@boosters23]

Best of all no under the table bs like Michael Todd

[@demonicon1]

💯

[@23rdstreet22]

Kings move: 😢

[@yms6892]

All of your Bzenk videos MUST include "where ya goin' buddy?" right? 😆

[@peachdaddy]

My favorite match of all time when he pressed Micheal Todd from under the table 🤣🤣

[@mauricemcmulkin1216]

"Where you goin buddy ?"

[@mrgonzales5683]

Bull Hurley whips em all !

[@farmbear1231]

The funnier part to me was when michael piped right back "where u goin?" Like he ridnt know what to say but was amped up so he just repeated john. No one focuses on it but it kills me everytime

[@POLITICALYCORRECTify]

Nothing more satisfying then seeing that prick lose even when he's cheating

[@POLITICALYCORRECTify]

How the fuck was that shit legal Todd under the table even his arm was below parallel and his elbow off the pad. The guys who make the rules should be ashamed of themselves.

[@rotten2209]

I've seen these hundreds of times over the years and many of them still amaze me. Seeing Dennis try to slip from John's grip buy failing is one of the ultimate moments in arm wrestling.

[@AlasdairThompson]

Yeah for sure, if you know nothing about it and you look at them , you think "There's no way, look how much bigger that guy is" but then John...

Called 'Pulling John'

[@ccbgaming6994]

Yep, the GOAT

[@alexlindberg88]

John's technique is like a Boa Constrictor going to work on its prey. The more they struggle, the more he squeezes the life out of them. Just unbelievable skill, wrist strength and steamroller side pressure.

[@1Bowtieluvr]

25 years of dominance in a professional sport is simply amazing.

[@doca203]

He was dominant for 25 years but he had losses in those 25 years including to Gary Goodridge and the other American big guy.

[@1Bowtieluvr]

@@doca203 Did I say he was undefeated?

[@LeahRobb]

@@doca203 It is said often, that he was undefeated for 20-25 years, but I don't know if that is in a particular kind of tournament, or all tournaments or what, but he was dominant longer than 25 years. He would even test people's strength out to see if he could beat them at their own game. Perhaps that lost him a few matches, but not any major competitions... a theory.

[@Shawn-eb9wo]

@@LeahRobb Weight classes. John was undefeated in his class, he would often pull multiple classes at the same tournament.

[@jjsyphor8288]

John lost a lot in major events too, it's just that the stat and record they're focusing on is specifically his dominance over 1 weight class. A lot of people get confused by this, always wondering how he was undefeated for 25 years but at the same time lost a few times in the 90s

[@Niconeshot]

His elbow lock is freaking insane. My fav dual was always versus Cyplenkov, nice and slow, amazing...

[@joecausey8508]

Absolutely.

[@dogsthebestpet]

Denis tried to escape but the way John resist that jerk was so clean and rare. 💯

[@barbraabsalom4531]

2006 vs semerenko , John at his heaviest ( 110kg ) & probably his best , that John , I’m my humble opinion beats any version of Denis .

[@302vettelife2]

If John has a little gray in his hair, you had a fighting chance. If John had brown hair, you had no chance.

[@enzo.9558]

Voevoda/Girdner desagree ;-;

[@WlerickBigotOfficial]

He may doesn't have the alien muscular package of this two GOAT in their respective category, but John really is like the equivalent of Ronnie Coleman and Mike Tyson when it comes to Armwrestling. Showing his total superiority for f**king DECADES (how insane is that seriously), beating every single big names out there, again and again, including guys (way) bigger than him, beasts, and freaking mutants like Cyplenkov. Mad respect for this absolute legend. He is and will forever be the GOAT.

[@VinylUnboxings]

That’s not like Mike at all lol

[@roguelites5225]

Comparatively mikes reign wasn’t anywhere near the level of John’s.

[@bucketmouthinc2937]

John Will always be on my #1 favorite Arm Wrestler of all time. He still is stronger than most top professional Arm Wrestlers today. He said in 2009 he was not gonna train as hard as he did previously anymore.

[@LeahRobb]

Until now...😁

If there ever was a goat at anything its John Brzenk in armwrestling

[@adrianpovazan6938]

He nicely defeated Michael's under the table technique🦾

[@zacharybuell370]

Can you imagine what John would have done to Chance if he had a full nights rest and didn’t have 24 beers in him ?

[@LeahRobb]

Thankfully it sounds like he has dropped the beer-guzzling. I'm glad.

[@Shawn-eb9wo]

If you watch the match in .25 speed you see him giving everything to chance then taking it back. Chance was a test where chance was strong not where John was strong. This is what Devon told guys in his club after the pull and watching it in slow mo.

[@playerratedr401]

watching John handle guys like Cyp Chaffee and Push is amazing

[@rascos1786]

Not to mention vasili, arsen, and chance. Devon is a bonus, in 2015 he wasn't that strong compared to brzenk, but 2021 ? i dont think even brzenk can take him anymore. He pulled todd out of the world the last time they met.
