      They should rename it extreme un gay male hand holding. I think neil was getting real comfy-like being in devons embrace so close he could smell his musk. Im pretty damn sure if devon wanted he could’ve absolutely had his way with neil. Slam dunk. When devon pulls the kings move its because his legs can no longer support his massive elite warrior nutsack and dong so his legs just buckle like a baby deer. I saw dudes garbage at the gym in ontario once. It looked like a full Portuguese sausage flanked by 2 huge baked potatoes. Thank god we have dudes like that fighting for our freedom. Who could blame neil for not wanting to let go of his hand. Neil probably still has yet to wash that hand . He keeps it in a plastic bag all day until he goes for a WANK and breaks the seal ever so slightly just to inhale some of that manliness. Like a devon larrat smelling salt. He then immediately climax’s And then promptly reseals it to preserve the freshness

      @eternity cosplay well i wouldnt say having a straight arm relying on your joints and muscle fibrers in a relaxed state, or very little use of your muscles is a smart move. Its a lazy move not Kings Move. Chance to win against it is by breaking opponents arm or hard enough so the joints hurt. Thats not armwrestling!

    • @BalubishTech
      @BalubishTech 4 года назад +3

      @eternity cosplay congrats, myself are at 42cm. I have seen several videos with people like todd having his head, shoulders at table height and elbow pointing away from the pad not even touching it and resting triceps on the pads. I understand what you are saying but im not agreeing with LazyMove for those reasons. Just because you can do something doesnt mean its a valid reason. Have you tried bending an arm backwards with regular side pressure against the elbow joint? Use full pressure urself doing that for 8min, an 80 year old can pull you down after that drain of energy. Reason why i dislike it, its a lazy move for much less work. Its like the dude that switched gender and now beats all wimen in "its" female weightlifting class. Why, well because as a man that thing wasnt impressive at all. But switch gender and voila you are now the best woman with man genes. Back in the day we called it doping. Not that it has anything to do with this really except, i just point out bullshit as i see it, same with straight arm armwrestling. Cause back in the day +10 years back, a straight arm meant you lost in Arm Wrestling. But perhaps we get a gender neutral straight arm armwrestling class while sitting below the table. And they can sit on chair aswell while hanging under the table anyways right.

      the thing with king's move is that you can't pin it and if your arm can't be pinned you will win anyway hence you feel like a king and get money and also it's a very advanced move so yeah beginner and intermediate players don't try it. only very pro league people try it. #NoOffence the real question is what would you do if your opponent does it and you are like i can't do anything its cheating, or why don't you give it a try the king's move and get the money. the comment section is filled with egoistic peoples.EDIT: anyway pride is the greatest sin. so yeah #NoOffence

      Yeah I think the same. Maybe it is because Devon is loved and Michael is a "meme" and a bit hated. He might be a bit frustrated that people that does not know anything about armwrestling are commenting on the topic, how it is a bad move for the sport, cheating etc. He knows that it really requires skill and he is known to use it and to be really good at, so he wants to defend it.

      ​@@michaelclarkjmy understanding is that there actually is a rule.. and that it is when the shoulder drops beneath the table, when it is illegal.
      The other obvious thing is, that the people who like the Kings move, know this rule, but deny it every time an arm-wrestler goes too low under the table, and just turn the blind eye on it.
      Its strange how no-one wants to be honest about this rule. And the referee's almost never stop it when the shoulder goes beneath the table..
      Are they blind, or just not bothered to be rigid on the rule ?

      Exactly its lazy, its not armwrestling when you start by pull out your f arm straight and have your head at the same height as where your elbow are suppposed to be, not your fat head. Im pretty sure doing it like Todd does it, im fairly certain he could just take a chair and sit on even on his side with his straight arm relaxing relying on joints and ligaments etc to hold the opponent back until they are so tired of trying to break his arm when what they should only work for is putting that arm down on that pad. Instead they are glorifying the possibility of bending, snapping someones arm the wrong way is impossible with side presssure, and that Todd is why you get so much fucking hate about it.

    • @jakemitchell1671

      I know what you're saying, but a key point is that Monster's arm WILL NOT extend 100% straight. And that's the REAL reason King's Move is used: After so many years training and pulling in the arm wrestling positions, they get the "wonky arm," and a very limited range of motion. The fact that their arm won't straighten is used as an advantage.

      People LOVED Devon vs. Bortolato...it was such a fresh air to watch because there were so many techniques!
      People watch the "King's Move" matches because they want to see Todd lose! Once he loses nobody will be interested in seeing another under-the-table arm wrestler unless to also watch him lose! It's not good publicity for WAL.
      They will get their 15 minutes of fame with the King's Move, but eventually got to listen to what the fans are complaining about.

      @CossyMango 4 года назад +3

      Except that's not how anatomy works. No one is able to support their entire weight solely on the leverage of ONE elbow at an unnatural angle. Not even Olympics-level gymnasts that focus on rings can do that. To defeat the king's move is NOT about attacking your opponent's elbow, but their WRIST. Even if you are 600lb but your wrist is shit, good luck pulling off king's move.

      I'm amazed that certain people still believe the "bone-lock" nonsense, not only these armwrestlers using the King's Move are supposedly able to hold their weight on their elbow's joint, but they can also hold the pressure of their opponents, ridiculous.

      Devon also said, that until the rules allow it, you are allowed to use it. He said, by adjusting the pad’s position, it would be harder to do the kings move. But that would result in different usecases, different ideas to “cheat”.
      Until someone can’t show how to beat the kings move easily, or they change rules or the referrees goes after it, it will stay.

    17min and never addressed how low can you drop when in the kingmove ..and the aesthetic of just seeing a person just hang there. 🤦🏽‍♂️😭 good job #WAL

    If the shoulder of the competing arm dips below the table, call a foul.

      @@vaderetro264 Im not outraged im unpleased with it. Michal Todd would lose so much if he didnt use that. And he did lost to better armwrestlers like Tsyplenkov and Trubin.

      Jere Anttila Of course he would lose, he has a ridiculously limited arm range due to the many injuries. But anyone will perform badly if they rely on their weaknesses. You've got to fight with your best weapons...

      Aaron Adams tell me the fine line between kings move and a top roll. Both are pronating and dropping and dragging. So that means take away toproll? What about posting toproll? Hooking kings? Floppy press? Hell let’s just get rid of all styles in arm wrestling. Wouldn’t that be great?

    The best thing about arm wrestling is, the competitors just love the sport. They’re open about their techniques and just want to make each other better. What other sports do opponents compare notes? Such a pure sport!
