Lets be real. Armwrestling, while its grown leaps and bounds is still a niche sport. Thousands of people watch it live. Maybe. Not hundreds of thousands. Not a million. Millions of people watch mainstream sports live. Some guy tried arguing with me about how east vs west has mainstream numbers lol. That means nothing in terms of making an argument its mainstream because those are accumulated numbers for one and for 2 how many of those views are from people watching it multiple times and finally its ppv and live audience on the night that dictates whether a sport has mainstream status viewership wise, monetarily etc. im an armwrestling fan but the reality is armwrestling is still a niche sport.
He was talking of what could have been if shaq would have arm wreslted instead of playing basketball, he says shaq would have been the best because of his life long genetic potentiAL. he knows shaq wont be number 1, but he thbink shaqs talent and size is the best possible tools to step into the game with, "if" he were young also applies
Agreed. His only drawback was that he didn't like to train at all. Paul Wight the Big Show is another freak. He was a monster in his prime and claims to have defeated Scott Norton in arm wrestling. If true, thats a big deal. Huge hands and huge wrists. Both of em.
@@bencarignan2711 Get real.... Big Show would need 3 hands to defeat Scott Norton but he only has 2. Even anyone in the women heavy weight division would easily beat Big Show
Karelin. The GOAT of wrestling, huge hands (almost filling A4 paper). His grip was feared among big men, causing pain and fear of injuries. Karelin rag dolled over 300 lbs guys like no one has done before or since
@@kingwillie206the difference being you have trained before for years and got experience What does shaq have? He is naturally well developed but as of now he doesn't have the body nor the time for such a sport with all the injuries it brings
he went into MMA but kinda got booted or side lined for a while because he head kicked some guy that was on the ground. THe guys got issues with anger i think.
@@DavePryor302 Looking back now, you can see something was/is off in his head. At the time, i just assumed it was just nerves being new to a sport and being around guys that werent new and were able to beat him even though he was possibly as strong and even stronger than they were.
Shaq's elbow to finger tip would be the longest the sport has ever seen and wrist to finger tip also. Shaq also has a large wrist size, he just has thick bones....
That's the key to Shaq. He isn't just a legit 7fter. He is 7ft with a large bone structure even relative to his height. Plenty of skinny looking 7 footers out there compared to someone like Shaq.
Devon you are just the greatest man in armwrestling. You made it so popolare. I love it. Thanks for all you do for the sport. Just cause i am a woman does not mean i do not completely appreciate it.
Petr Petras might be the non arm wrestler with the most potential. There's probably no one else in the world right now who can cheat curl 353x3 on a normal EZ bar with a wide grip. He is a monster powerlifter with the second highest raw total of all time.
@Devon Larratt I see all the " didn't properly bulk up" comments finally worked. Glad to see your using your WSM connect to properly do it. You're gonna defeat Levan if you actually come in lifting much more and all around just like he does. Godspeed warrior.
Legend says Kane beat everyone in armwestling in the backstage, even the Big Show and Brock Lesnar (Brock said the only guy he couldn't beat was Kane).
If I recall you "played" with Shaq on TV several years ago. That said, Shaq wasn't trained. Doesn't age play into this? Shaq is 52 years old. 7'1" and around what, 325lbs? Shaw is 5 inches shorter and 10 years younger at 42 years. 6'8 and 340-450lbs. I don't think Shaq would have much of a chance against Shaw right now, and I doubt Shaq can get much stronger at his current age unfortunately.
I think an interesting match would be Brian vs Derek Smith, another tall big guy that lately hasn't won but has exp. Derek would win but not blowing him away.
Brian Shaw visited the Angus exhibit and stood next to his statue. That guy was enormous. Probly wouldnt even be able to get down low enough to pull. Might not need to tho. Lol
This was guy was absolutely on another planet. Making shaw look like a baby, google Brian Shaw, Eddy Hall and another strongman next to his statue. It's insane.
Devon, beat him fair and square. No matter the rules, no matter the rematch, beat him fair and square. You're technically smarter, dress him properly, it's your legacy! More aggression!
Brian is just a few months removed from competing his last wsm and he has trained his whole life to be strong. He basically maxed out his stats on strength. Meanwhile the Shaq that Devon met was inside the nba Shaq and has long been retired and Devon still puts him up there with Brian. Now imagine if Devon met 2000 Lakers Shaq instead.
If Devon truly wants a complete beginner no-training Shaq to fight a one-year-all-in Brian Shaw, theres no doubt that what he felt in Shaq is way beyond anybody else he's ever felt.
Great khali wwe armwrestling pro panja. Contact him sir.same height as shaq. Bigger hands than shaq. Plz devon contact khali aka daleep singh from india
First: Shaq can only pull left. second: Shaq is an extremely succesful businessman and the time he would need to invest in that much training would cost him tons of money
Don't think Shaq has a chance unless he has been training for arm wrestling as a hobby since he pulled Devon on TV.. but then Shaq has done a lot of challenges in different sports in the past, he might take this one for fun
Doesn’t sound like a close match at all. Weird for Devon to say that it would be a good match. I get that Shaq is super famous and would bring more attention to arm wrestling, but as far as a competitive match - not even close. Brian would destroy him.
Imagine if this was addressed on NBA Tonight with Shaq and Barkley! That would be AWESOME. Likely Shaq won't do it, but hey never do know! I'd prefer to see Brian Shaw, who seems to be very serious about Armwrestling, take on some lighter weight pros. Even if he loses, he's learning a lot from it, and progressing. I hate to see the sport have Brian take on a bunch of celebrity non-Arm wrestlers for some kind of side show act, only for ratings. Have him take on instead: - Dan Mosier - Justin Bishop - RVJ - Ryan Bowen

Brian Shaw would have a clear advantage in that he's been training AW, this aside from him being primarily a strength athlete.

We would definitely need a bigger table.
lol they would make it look like a coffee table
and the light would need to be higher up too :D
Devon You will just knock out Genadii

Imagine Mark Henry training for AW from young age.
Devon is leading the Armwrestling popularity movement.
Could you imagine if Andre the giant did arm wrestling? 😮 his hands were not only bigger than shaqs, but also thicker & wider....

1) Shaq vs Barkley
2) Barkley vs Travis
What about the guy in prison that beat Allen Fisher? I would love to see you arm wrestle him! 😂
That was actually amazing and that dude was MASSIVE
yeah that guy needs more attention, absolute unit
Brian Shaw pulled shaqs whole body 2025
Your retarded
Everyone should tag and send armwrestling videos to Shaq!!!
Can you imagine how would the table and referees look next to these two, that would be so hilarious
big fan devon..all the way from South Africa❤❤❤
Love it when you arm wrestled Shaquille and he said "Ohh, he ain't moving at all!" and goes to use both hands. 😁
You'll definitely crush Genadi 🤛
Andre the Giant would likely mop the floor with most greats without training. He was THAT big and strong. His fingers were silver dollars.

Shaq so tall, he has to sit on the floor to armwrestle
Sign the contract Shaq
why would he sign the contract? hes already rich he dont care about some arm wrestling shit
Hey Devon appreciate your efforts
Auden would carry on your legacy
Love from India
Good afternoon uncle Devon and family and thank you for sharing
This is going to be another armwrestling dimension
No way. If Devon beat Levan and broke his streak in a close 4-3 style, THAT would be the best match the sport could see. Don’t hold your breath.
If I remember correctly Shaq likes pulling with his left
Dev, if we can bring Shaq over we got to try to get Paul White AKA The Big Show too💪😂

Could you just imagine this,if he was still alive and trained by you sir Devon, but I think Rich Piana would have been a beast of an armwrestler.
Rich wasn’t very strong and he had really bad mobility
Devon arm wrestled both of them so he should know!!
google Angus Macaskill. Yeah... that would be a sight to be seen in armwrestling
Not a single verified feat of strength, if his height is real he's genuinely and truly too big for the current table also.

If this really hapens, the table must be uplifted to additional 1 m😂
By the Raw reaction at the time Khalid seemed to be the one
Arm wrestling can't afford Shaq. And he's comfortable money wise. So, unless he's a huge, massive fan that loves the sport of AW, why would he do it?
def. need a bigger table for that match..
Brian will crush him with no effort.
Shaq is a incredibly busy person, but if he can find the time that would be incredible. He’s a legit giant.
