World Arm Wrestling Champion, Allen Fisher, just annihilated anyone one who dared to step up to the arm wrestling table at the WAL (World Armwrestling League) tournament. The event was held at the House of Blues in Vegas. Check out www.WALunderground.com for some pictures and videos of the battles. For those who showed up the experience was off the charts! The crowds were screaming in excitement! The battles between the competitors was super intense! So many who were expected to win were defeated, even the champions stars on AMC's Game of Arms.Check out the profiles of of the Game of Arms athletes on www.GameOfArms.com

This show is Awesome. I like the details of how arm wrestlers workout. I definitely enjoy the action, energy and intensity of the show. I hope to see competitions at the international level as well. It will be great if AMC makes a talk show about arm wrestling just as Talking Dead, were they would go into the history of arm wrestling then and now and give details of arm wrestling world wide if possible. Furthermore, I am glad that AMC put the spotlight on arm wrestling, it is finally getting out of the underground arena. I love the guys on the show and how it goes into their personal lives. I'm particularly a fan of the NY Team "Arms Control". I watch and hope that they will every tournament. The show is very well presented, the producers have done a really great job by always leaving us in suspense during every show. Keep up the great work!

I will admit that I personally know some of the people on the show. So if that sways my opinion, oh well. I am just wanting to say that this show is not fake. Its about real people, living real lives. I am glad that AMC is showing real "reality". Some of the shows I see on TV are so fake that I wont even take the time to name them. The people on this show are not millionaires and they probably never will be. The rewards are not going to make them rich. They still have jobs and families and friends. They would be doing this stuff even if the cameras were not there. Thats what makes a great reality TV show. This show is not scripted. They show everything, the good and the bad. Thats why its called reality.

The thing that immediately strikes you is just how slick this show is. I had zero expectations going in, thinking this would just be your average reality show like Pawn Stars or whatever, but this is clearly on another level. From the camera work to the sound to the editing, you can obviously tell that they took their time to get this right. This show is so polished, it's downright meticulous. Game of Arms manages to hit notes that are normally reserved for HBO Sports documentaries.Of course, it's not all about the great production design, there's also the "pullers" themselves. Thankfully, they happen to be a more diverse and interesting group of people than one would probably guess. They come from all walks of life and are really quite likable. It's easy to root for any of them. If they were all just a bunch of one-dimensional Jersey Shore rejects then trust me, I wouldn't even bother writing this. No, these are regular guys who just happen to share the same incredibly intense hobby - or "lifestyle" as one puts it. Their life stories are compelling and they seem fun to be around in general. That's more than I can say for most people on television.The matches themselves are riveting. Sure, the refs could be better and the prize amounts are too small, but whatever. The way the show leads up to the matches, and the way the matches themselves are presented more than makes up for those minor, easily addressable concerns. Instead of the predictable, clinical environment of a UFC cage or a boxing ring, they stage these fights within intimate, real world locations with fellow teammates and family members within arm's reach. Everything's shot on hand-held from within the crowd, including a slew of remarkably well-framed slow motion footage. As a result, the fight scenes are as good as they can possibly be - I really mean that. If Over the Top was the Rocky IV of arm wrestling, then Game of Arms is its Raging Bull.This show is surprisingly good.
