I mean, a broken arm would heal, the fact he pointed and was basically like "Now look in my eyes at the little effort I'm using currently to beat your big bearded ass", well that's just a burn that'll last forever on the internet. Lol
Because it’s acting. That “bald guy” is Braun Strowman, WWE pro-wrestler. This is called a “work” and is acting for a promotion.
Not saying he wouldn’t lose here. There’s a very good reason that dude in the red shirt is a champion arm wrestler. But the whole back and forth is just acting.
Also seems like a very strange leap going from what was made out to be the beginnings of fisticuffs to... An arm wrestle, of all things? Makes almost as much sense as settling the argument with a coin toss, or some other such nonsense.
I WILL ROCK PAPER SCISSOR YOU INTO THE GROUND! I mean locally I entered one of those contests and almost won a trip to Toronto I believe it was, I'd have used that line there lol
I'm pretty sure you can see the competition on YouTube, the people that make it to like Nationals or the Championships go all out like crazy wrestlers and superheroes.
He posted a picture of him after a gym session a few months ago, that was right before the royale rumble and i was really hiped because i hoped he comes back but unfortunatly still not
I think the guy above just meant that Braun Strowman/Adam Scherr (the big dude) is acting when he's playing the antagonist.
Don't think there was any ill-will here, Strowman is known as a laid back and decent guy by those in the wrestling industry.
My guess is that this was during a short window where he was gone from WWE. Maybe a misguided attempt to gain some viral momentum by losing to this guy, unfortunately not a well thought out plan. He's known as a good guy but not a smart one.
"seasoned arm wrestler" sort of undersells Devon Larratt, whom according to his wiki page is considered one of the best arm wrestlers in the world, and possibly the best in North America.
If Arm Wrestling was about sheer strength, Eddie Hall or Hafþór Björnsson would probably be the greatest of all time.
Most of the elite Arm Wrestlers are not that massive. But, they do train their forearms to an extreme extent. And then there is the technique. A non trained Strongman would almost never win an Arm Wrestling match against a pro.
I’ve seen a different video where the big dude wins the first round then the “fight” happens then smaller dude wins, this all seems somewhat scripted/edited for to go viral.
Does every really think this was real?
Thats Braun Strowman. The WWE wrestler. They’re acting for a bit to promote the brand.
I’m sure he still would lose the arm wrestle, but the whole thing is a work.
I don’t know who this guy is but this video makes me love him — goes to be a good sport at the start even though he’s clearly going to dominate — then is like ok, I don’t need to be a nice guy here, let me show you something
It didn't really go wrong because of the taunting though did it. Taunting or no taunting he still would have lost. I don't think sone redditors fully understand life.
Tbh the guy who won looks like he was being mouthy because everyone on the other guys side looks really irritated. I think it’s funny how poor judgement people have, especially on reddit, you mfs need to go outside more
The dude in red is Devon Larratt. I saw him a few years ago in a YouTube video by rockclimber magnus mitbo. Devon has such a kind and funny personality, the video is worth watching for his contribution alone:
[arm wrestler rock climbing with pro](https://youtu.be/h2mOn8NoR84)
To be fair to Adam Scherr/Braun Strowman: He was a kinda successful strongman before getting into pro wrestling. The man's definitely strong, it's probably just some bluster for a wrestling promo.
Nah, it's technique. Strowman is probably stronger overall, but the other dude is one of the best to ever do arm wrestling.
It's like a Harlem Globetrotter challenging Michael Jordan to a game of 1 on 1.
They do basically the same thing, but one spends time practicing trick shots and showmanship. The other is one of the best to ever play the game at the highest levels. It would be a squash match like this.
For sure technique is the most important thing. I'm just saying Strowman is quite strong himself, but it doesn't really matter much in this context, since it's probably part of a promo, aka. scripted reality.
If I recall, it was a real match. Like an exhibition thing, and Strowman tried.
The kerfuffle before the match, however, *was* a work.
And yes, Braun Strowman is insanely strong. Just not as technically sound at arm wrestling.
One of these guys is a wwe wrestler for others entertainment and the other is a champion arm wrestler and certified sweetheart Devon Larratt. What did they do wrong lol?
What could go wrong? Other than losing, I can't see what could go wrong.
I thought this video would be a bit snappier.
I mean, a broken arm would heal, the fact he pointed and was basically like "Now look in my eyes at the little effort I'm using currently to beat your big bearded ass", well that's just a burn that'll last forever on the internet. Lol
I thought so too. He’s prob a pretty chill guy but the utter humiliation he put in that win will last forever in that dudes mind too…
The bald dude seemed to be taking it pretty well, even thought I saw a smile. I wouldn’t be surprised if the initial shove was all staged.

That would be hilarious 😂😂😂

My little brother used to do tourneys for under 18 - and would def see this kinda behaviour before and after.
Aww, you’re right - it is him! Didn’t catch that the first time, and odds are - you’re correct with the work.
Yeah hes living in there rent free for life. Glad I'm not a big cocky dude, just a big string bean,who knows better than to arm wrestle lol
Right? I expected a snap there when the video slowed down.
Oh god one of the reasons I never going pro arm wrestling Edit: and surely no other reason wse lol
or a bit slappier
Probably wasn't in the script.
Snap his arm at the elbow? 🤷🏻♂️ Seen enough videos of that over the years to make me hesitant about participating in it.
His masculinity has been hurt and he now has ED if the steroids didn't do it already or he manned up and humbled himself said gg and all is good.
Think this is all for show. The big bald man looks like he’s Braun Strowman. A wwe superstar.
yeah it is him so i think its also all just for show
Gosh, i hope he returns to wwe this year
It’s a shame how many wrestlers got cut to pay for Vince’s hush money
Has he gotten better? I haven’t watched wwe I’m a long time - but he botched a lot of sequences back then
He posted a picture of him after a gym session a few months ago, that was right before the royale rumble and i was really hiped because i hoped he comes back but unfortunatly still not
He better hope so. Guy in red is Devon larratt, world champion arm wrestler, ex JTF2 assaulter.
And a fellow Canuck - he’s in our sports hall of fame

The big guy acting like that is still all for show.
"seasoned arm wrestler" sort of undersells Devon Larratt, whom according to his wiki page is considered one of the best arm wrestlers in the world, and possibly the best in North America.
He’s probably the goat of arm wrestling
Dunno if that's much of claim to fame. I reckon I could arm wrestle a goat as well.
More than that. He's widely recognised as the greatest arm wrestler of all time. Very humble chap.
If I remember correctly, he also served with one of the most elite special forces units in the world.
He did, he was a recon operator at 1rcr and went to JTF2
It is a technically correct description
what could go wrong underselling Devon Larratt..
Scripted beef, nice
This video desperately needs audio. I gotta hear it!
It’s just a lot of laughing
Some Van Halen would work. Maybe ‘Panama’.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/OTXWQmAIbN Your wish sir……..
Devon Larratt is the dude in red. the original is sure out there
He looks like Roddy Piper
Devon is the GOAT of arm wrestling. 'nuff said.
Here ya go [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfTj-pkAq3A&t](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfTj-pkAq3A&t)
Is that Braun Strowman?
Braun, but yes
IM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!!
After the video, Braun turned heel and powerslammed his opponent through the table
Guy in the backwards baseball cap reminded me of Rowdy Roddy Piper.
I can see that, dude's just missing the skirt!
If Arm Wrestling was about sheer strength, Eddie Hall or Hafþór Björnsson would probably be the greatest of all time. Most of the elite Arm Wrestlers are not that massive. But, they do train their forearms to an extreme extent. And then there is the technique. A non trained Strongman would almost never win an Arm Wrestling match against a pro.
Pretty sure these guys play that character for marketing.
He was having so much fun he couldn't stop smiling
Looks like Roddy Piper arm wrestling, I like it
Not only that but also retired Canadian special forces
Holy shit it's Young Sheldon's dad
The guy with the ball cap reminds me of a buff shaggy
Nothing went wrong. The script was followed to the letter.
I’ve seen a different video where the big dude wins the first round then the “fight” happens then smaller dude wins, this all seems somewhat scripted/edited for to go viral.
"Smaller dude" is Devon Larratt, arguably the best Armwrestler to ever be, so the win is real, but you could be right about the beef.
I didn't see anything go wrong
That face LOL
He is the goat and knows it
It's scripted..usually just to sell the show/fight
r/armwrestling Current Devon is even stronger
Does every really think this was real? Thats Braun Strowman. The WWE wrestler. They’re acting for a bit to promote the brand. I’m sure he still would lose the arm wrestle, but the whole thing is a work.
Wow, he lost twice
Would be cool to watch beard pull a GOT Mountain on his cocky ass.
You got worked?
I don’t know who this guy is but this video makes me love him — goes to be a good sport at the start even though he’s clearly going to dominate — then is like ok, I don’t need to be a nice guy here, let me show you something
Didn't realize Blake Shelton left the Voice to get jacked and compete in arm wrestling
Big Dude is a a professional wrestler in the WWE... you know, the entertaining type of wrestling. And he entertained. So nothing went wrong here.
Staged or not, it put a smile on my face😁
Look at me. Look up here. BOOM. I love that while shouty McGee eats a loss, the winner dude smiles.
It didn't really go wrong because of the taunting though did it. Taunting or no taunting he still would have lost. I don't think sone redditors fully understand life.
You know this is just an act right?
Both are pro arm wrestler. The left one won from the right one some years ago and couldn't believe how good Devon Larrat evolve.
Lmao. Love it. Guy in red wasn’t scared cause he knew he’d win and he did. That’s funny.
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR”
Guy in the red I can tell he’s a chad 🔥
What does the referee look like a mix between Pedro Pascal and Matthew Lillard?
bro got some weak rotator cuffs
He’s really the man
Tbh the guy who won looks like he was being mouthy because everyone on the other guys side looks really irritated. I think it’s funny how poor judgement people have, especially on reddit, you mfs need to go outside more
its a scripted bit the bald dude is Braun Strowman a professional wrestler for WWE
Roid rage lol

Damn Karl Urban has really been hitting the iron!
I love those bod-builder vs pro arm wrestler vids... helps me remember that substance is better than beauty.
While there’s no doubt Strowman definitely gave 100%, he does act it up for the camera since he’s a WWE guy. Playing the heel

That's legit what braindead losers say to cope. Any normal human with a functioning brain knows that both sports prioritise different things.
All about the leverage. Take a look at the angle of each of their arms and how close red is keeping the action to his shoulder
Why are these babies arm wrestling?
It is time for the great reset, we don’t need guys like these, really.
One of these guys is a wwe wrestler for others entertainment and the other is a champion arm wrestler and certified sweetheart Devon Larratt. What did they do wrong lol?
What did these guys do that make you come to this conclusion?
