Here is another one of me and Bruce Way the guy who drinks the oil in the movie. I broke his arm in 1983 at the Nationals when I won. Scott Norton is in the background in the yellow
cool. very impressive to pull that even with Cleve Dean.
Did you ever pull Brzenk or Richard Lupkes? I read on another board that Brzenk said that Lupkes was the most powerfull armwrestler he ever pulled.
Well I beat john in Denver Over the Top event. But, later on I heard he threw all his matches during that tournament. He would enter 2 or 3 weigth classes. 2nd place was $500 and 1st place was $1000. Once you take 1st though you can't enter anymore events cause you already qualify for the World's. He took 2nd on purpose so he could rack up more money. This is what I heard and I kind of believe it. I was strong and pretty good but not near as good as he is. He is the best ever. And after 4 or 5 hour events he would hang around and pull anyone who wanted too. He is a great guy. Lupkes I never pulled but mainly because I think he was an East coast guy or something like that. I never was in an event he was in. I heard he was unreal though.
I actually beat Cleave in that match and every single person there saw it and agrees. About 5 minutes later they decided that my shoulder hit my hand and that is why I won. The promoter said he had to do it. All along they wanted a Norton/Dean final. They were the big boys. He said if I asked Cleave for a rematch and he agreed then we would do it. I went over and asked Cleave and he said NO WAY!
