Hey Ray. This is a genuine critique point for KOTT going forward. It has a big impact on international viewing. During this KOTT build up i haven't been able to find any time local standard time that i can translate to my timezone. I'm sure this is the same for many. I'm trying to watch from Australia but have no idea what the start time will be and that information should be readily available for any fans. It's a big deterrent for any international viewer when they can't even find the start time of a PPV
Additionally, like how UFC has a Google page of their fight cards with standardised times for each timezone readily available when you just search 'ufc' that is what arm wrestling needs. One place to view the cards with all the athletes. Think a website named, 'arm wrestling' with information for all different ppv's with time (including a local standard time so people can translate that) and date. Etc.
@@Librepenseur2007 I went to coresports page and it has a counter its says at the moment it will start in 3 hours and 33 min what more do you want to know when it starts?
Same. Great North American arm wrestlers inspiring Canada and USA to be the top two countries in this sport in the coming years. I believe it will happen.
Like him or not, the horrific injuries that would disable basically anybody from arm wrestling ever again have proven that nothing will stop him at all from doing what he loves.
Its been so cool to see michaels evolution for most hated armwrestler because of his kingsmove, and in turn being a a-hole to becoming a beloved hero of armwrestling, who is loved and respected by all, and has found an inner kindness as a result of finally being appreciated.
Dude michael is so zen and focused in this interview. Michael todd fuckin rules. His transformation(s) from who and where he was 6 years ago is insane! I hope one day he becomes the #1 in the world. He legitimately deserves it. What a bo$$.
Mike gets so much hate but he’s one of the OG best players ever, hate him or love him you can’t deny he brings a lot to the table. Glad he’s doing well and coming back.

@@davidgallego1217I was born in 75, no, I'm a month from 50 and I actually feel fantastic. Probably the wisest I've ever been, still strong, still going strong. 50s are a man's best age.
Man, I respect MMT so much and I love, that he is on a great winning streak, looking enthusiastic and fired up as never seen before. But man he looks swollen and out of breath, even red. Even his voice sounds different. Very concerning, especially with his age.
Todd thought Larry Wheels would be a top contender in a few years .. And yea I can see it somewhat but his wrists were so small compared to these guys .. but Brian is just built for it ..
The problem with Brian is, that his ability to replicate movement is much worse compared to Eddie. When Brian did MMA you could clearly see, that he is just not naturally gifted for movement which is no big problem in Strongman, but in martial arts and armwrestling it is. Eddie on the other side was just too lazy and trained too little. Will be fun to see them have fun on the table.
strongmen are more thletic than just a powerlifter. They lift logs, stons, throw object for height. I think their tendons are not that far away from being arm wrestling ready.
Paul is definitely the favorite - Krasi ain’t what he used to be and Paul Linn is just too explosive. Its not the same guy that beat John all those years ago. He is much older now and Paul is in his peak.
I like Mike and want him to win but... Sorry no he's not gonna beat ermes. He barely beat a not prime and weaker version of Genadi. His lifts are just... fake... sorry. His arm is not parallel and he rests his elbow entirely on his leg. He's just cheating his lifts. If he did them like Devon he wouldn't even get close to Devon's PRs. There's a reason Devon stopped Genadi in center and Mike struggled, again, despite Genadi being weaker this time and Mike's lifts being "way higher".
🔥King of the Table 13 - December 14th PPV on app.coresports.tv/signup
Shouldn't todd be doing this interview from under the table
Michael is serene here. Love to see it.

Bro there is a Timer for the Liverstream start, what else do you need?
@@kee-i2nstill not answering the question. I won't see the event if I don't know when it is.
Eastern standard Time.

Ray with all the interviews. Dude must’ve been busy as hell. Thanks a lot.
MMT & Devon are my favorite armwrestlers

Shawshank redemption is my favorite movie.
@@Juangalt mine is The Land Before Time 2: The Great Valley Adventure
@@Juangalt Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is pretty good
Pepperoni is my favorite pizza.
my favorite interview so far and he's not even in this event lol. seems to be the longest one too
Yeah the other guys are more focused on the event so it makes sense imo
This is a great interview. More from these two!

Michael went from heel to Babyface 😊
2 faced
To baby hands.
God Bless Michael Todd and the USA!
They say sitting near Michael will heal you.

I was hoping michael would do an interview. So pumped up about his next two matches. I think he will beat Ermes and get his shot at the title.
Mike gets so much hate but he’s one of the OG best players ever, hate him or love him you can’t deny he brings a lot to the table. Glad he’s doing well and coming back.
MMT lets go, you are great for the sport. God Bless hoping to see and hear more of you.
Love 💕 Michael Todd Brian Shaw Is A Beast
I could listen to these guys talk about armwrestling all day!

Ray & Michael are true die hard ArmWrestlers 💪
Nope.
After Levan Slams Jerry , he should Slam.Todd next , that's woul be 3 for 3 , Devon , Jerry and Todd , Levan is on another level !
Such a chill guy, super nice and an absolute BEAST!! 💪💪💪
Mike is awesome
Would like to see Tom haviland try armwrestling .
that would be outageous and awesome .
Wow I am same age. 1973. You guys are inspirational.
Nice, do you feel old?

@@davidgallego1217 I definitely feel it
Man, I respect MMT so much and I love, that he is on a great winning streak, looking enthusiastic and fired up as never seen before.
But man he looks swollen and out of breath, even red. Even his voice sounds different.
Very concerning, especially with his age.
Yeah it seems he’s pushing “things” pretty far
He's really big wanting to get to 320lbs Jan 1 and cut to 315lbs for Ermes in Feb. Sitting here he said he's 308lbs now, the heaviest I've seen him
Don’t know if this matters but we are both recovering from horrible sinus crap. My own face is puffy around my eyes.
Todd thought Larry Wheels would be a top contender in a few years .. And yea I can see it somewhat but his wrists were so small compared to these guys .. but Brian is just built for it ..

15:29 are they talking about Levans underwear or whos slip is it?

I can't believe he thinks Paul is the favorite... 🤦🏼♂️
Paul is definitely the favorite - Krasi ain’t what he used to be and Paul Linn is just too explosive. Its not the same guy that beat John all those years ago. He is much older now and Paul is in his peak.
This is gonna be so bad Advertisement for armwrestling: Levan is definitely going to break Jerry's Arm, and the same might happen to Eddie😢
Mike's beard looks shorter
Well, when you start stepping on it it's time to trim it! 😅
Ermes flashed Jerry. Why wouldn't Levan use same technique.
His longer forearms make it harder for him to execute this technique
Its not always as simple as simply choosing to apply it
@Lagia7 I think for Levan it kinda is. My prediction is he will run through Jerry. Would love an upset but personally I don't see it happening.
Why can't he do what Chaffee did to Jerry? Why does it have to be to copy Ermes all the time?
He did and it worked
Mikes hands are huge. They look swollen
They're not huge they're thick
Ray, it’s “King of THE Table” - not “king of table”.
Always remember to say “The”.
I’ve told you time and time again but you never listen.
Say “The”.
Jocelyn beat Sarah for #4 in the world
Botta-Dukát Gábor is the very best we have ever had, would be over the roof if he could pull it off
Monster just said he hates young competition what.
Mt Don't take God's name in vain, you did it again.

I predict Brian snaps Eddie‘s arm. I think Eddie won’t give up and his muscles might be stronger than his bones.
They're being extra careful about that. Will stop the round if Eddie gets in a dangerous position.
You are no prophet.
Get the knee pads on so Todd can get under the table for the chump move
Larry wheels is way stronger then todd
