I've seen these hundreds of times over the years and many of them still amaze me. Seeing Dennis try to slip from John's grip buy failing is one of the ultimate moments in arm wrestling.
The funnier part to me was when michael piped right back "where u goin?" Like he ridnt know what to say but was amped up so he just repeated john. No one focuses on it but it kills me everytime
How the fuck was that shit legal Todd under the table even his arm was below parallel and his elbow off the pad. The guys who make the rules should be ashamed of themselves.
John's technique is like a Boa Constrictor going to work on its prey. The more they struggle, the more he squeezes the life out of them. Just unbelievable skill, wrist strength and steamroller side pressure.
John Will always be on my #1 favorite Arm Wrestler of all time. He still is stronger than most top professional Arm Wrestlers today. He said in 2009 he was not gonna train as hard as he did previously anymore.
He may doesn't have the alien muscular package of this two GOAT in their respective category, but John really is like the equivalent of Ronnie Coleman and Mike Tyson when it comes to Armwrestling. Showing his total superiority for f**king DECADES (how insane is that seriously), beating every single big names out there, again and again, including guys (way) bigger than him, beasts, and freaking mutants like Cyplenkov. Mad respect for this absolute legend. He is and will forever be the GOAT.
@@doca203 It is said often, that he was undefeated for 20-25 years, but I don't know if that is in a particular kind of tournament, or all tournaments or what, but he was dominant longer than 25 years. He would even test people's strength out to see if he could beat them at their own game. Perhaps that lost him a few matches, but not any major competitions... a theory.
John lost a lot in major events too, it's just that the stat and record they're focusing on is specifically his dominance over 1 weight class. A lot of people get confused by this, always wondering how he was undefeated for 25 years but at the same time lost a few times in the 90s
1:15 "Where ya going buddy" EPIC!!! Best part of the whole video, beating the shit out of Todd's kings move.😎🦾 Also wasn't that Bill Collins refereeing there? 👀
There is no blessed about he he started training in his young teens. He is the product of decent genetics and an insane amount of work. He was literally pulling 2+ tournaments a month from a young teen.
Even Levan knows John is the goat. Simply put , no one has the resume he does. No one. No one ever will either. He is the pinnacle of any athlete at any sport . Michael Jordan , Tom Brady , etc
I think he means in his weighclass because he had losses in that time like in supermatches against superheavyweights! I mean still the GOAT nobody really compares to him.
The Legend, The Goat, The Perfect Storm... John Brzenk his the best Armwrestler of All Time AND he has the most years of invincibility in the history of sport in general... This is crazy.
Andrey Pushkar imo,evolved the most from vsing John-he went from being owned easily to owning John easily at one point. Rip champion of the highest levels
Not to mention vasili, arsen, and chance. Devon is a bonus, in 2015 he wasn't that strong compared to brzenk, but 2021 ? i dont think even brzenk can take him anymore. He pulled todd out of the world the last time they met.
If you watch the match in .25 speed you see him giving everything to chance then taking it back. Chance was a test where chance was strong not where John was strong. This is what Devon told guys in his club after the pull and watching it in slow mo.
Jordan and Pelé are legends because of what they achieved and the fact that they also were pioneers, like the first superstars and true icone of their sports. In that sens, I agree, John is also like them for armwrestling. But beating every single guy in the game like he did for freaking decades, that's some Ronnie Coleman and Mike Tyson sh*t to be honest =)
@@WlerickBigotOfficial he loses some too, but this comparing is just mensuring how he is great in this sport. Here in Brasil armwrestling is almost unknowed.
I dont understand anything about what are the top level tournaments or competitions of Arm wrestling. But i see there is something called The World Arm Wrestling Championship en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Armwrestling_Championship and guys like Devon Larratt and John Brzenk have never won it. Is this considered the Superbowl / Stanley Cup / World Cup of Arm Wrestling? Just wondered why they never won that or if they have ever competed in it that ? If anyone could explain id appreciate it.
Often there was no money in the eastern leagues. John did a few of the major European tourneys but if you watch his interviews they left a sour taste. He commented a lot on UE pullers getting passes in early rounds and stacking of the ladder right to refs readjusting straps from where they should be. Combine that with there being no money in it western pullers just couldn't be asked to go to the EU events.
Jesus he beat Dennis. Did he ever face Dennis around 2014 when he was just a monster. Dennis was already pretty big in that early fight. Two of my favourites. Can't Stand Todd n Larrett
Can someone explain to me how he has become undefeated in 25 years? I have seen his matches from the late 80's that he lost. From that to 04 where he lost to Voeveda, that's not even 25 years. Or by the undefeated streak, it means in his weightclaas?
@@stoneeh because John was already getting old and stopped competing much by that time. If Denis started with John (same era), that would be a great, but short rivalry (because of how fast Denis got unhealthy). Young John would most likely beat him most of the time imo.
Does anyone know exactly how many super matches in a row he won before loosing to Devon in 08’? Surely he lost a few rare matches in tournaments over those 25 years that we’re all aware of but I only ask assuming we’re talking about strictly super matches
Undefeated in his own weight class for 25 years until 2008 when he lost the supermatch to Devon Larratt as during this time Devon was hitting his prime 2008-2012 and John was coming out of it.
John pulled tournaments 2+ times a month from a young teenager through his 40's he literally has thousands of matches. As a result he had more armwrestling specific muscles than pretty much everyone else for decades.
John said they never pulled. Stallone literally did hundreds of takes and his arm was so blown up by the end of shooting a 5yr old could have beat him.
No flying elbows, no false starts, no ridiculous posturing. Just pure armwrestling dominance.
Best of all no under the table bs like Michael Todd
💯
Kings move: 😢
I've seen these hundreds of times over the years and many of them still amaze me. Seeing Dennis try to slip from John's grip buy failing is one of the ultimate moments in arm wrestling.
Yeah for sure, if you know nothing about it and you look at them , you think "There's no way, look how much bigger that guy is" but then John...
55ää1
@@AlasdairThompson That is excatly what got me interested in arm wrestling. some look so puny compared to others but still kick their butts :)
To dominate and have complete control of Dennis’s monster hand is pretty insane. John’s the greatest
@@AlasdairThompson My thought exactly before I understood the Brzenk factor.
All of your Bzenk videos MUST include "where ya goin' buddy?" right? 😆
My favorite match of all time when he pressed Micheal Todd from under the table 🤣🤣
"Where you goin buddy ?"
Bull Hurley whips em all !
The funnier part to me was when michael piped right back "where u goin?"
Like he ridnt know what to say but was amped up so he just repeated john. No one focuses on it but it kills me everytime
Nothing more satisfying then seeing that prick lose even when he's cheating

There's literally a documentary about this legend, the greatest of all time for a reason.
Wow you like arm wrestling too huh
@@alien2852 everything i like, he likes too
4 on this channel alone.
Called 'Pulling John'
Yep, the GOAT
If John has a little gray in his hair, you had a fighting chance.
If John had brown hair, you had no chance.
Voevoda/Girdner desagree ;-;
John Will always be on my #1 favorite Arm Wrestler of all time. He still is stronger than most top professional Arm Wrestlers today. He said in 2009 he was not gonna train as hard as he did previously anymore.
Until now...😁
His elbow lock is freaking insane. My fav dual was always versus Cyplenkov, nice and slow, amazing...
Absolutely.
Denis tried to escape but the way John resist that jerk was so clean and rare. 💯
2006 vs semerenko , John at his heaviest ( 110kg ) & probably his best , that John , I’m my humble opinion beats any version of Denis .
His opponents respect and admire him so much that they are happy even when they lose! 🐐💪🏼
yes bcs hes a legend
He may doesn't have the alien muscular package of this two GOAT in their respective category, but John really is like the equivalent of Ronnie Coleman and Mike Tyson when it comes to Armwrestling.

Mad respect for this absolute legend. He is and will forever be the GOAT.
That’s not like Mike at all lol
Comparatively mikes reign wasn’t anywhere near the level of John’s.
25 years of dominance in a professional sport is simply amazing.
He was dominant for 25 years but he had losses in those 25 years including to Gary Goodridge and the other American big guy.
@@doca203 Did I say he was undefeated?
@@doca203 It is said often, that he was undefeated for 20-25 years, but I don't know if that is in a particular kind of tournament, or all tournaments or what, but he was dominant longer than 25 years.

I love the old stuff where he's just this kid destroying everyone with a smile on his face
Where are you going buddy!
Vittuako se pelle aina sukeltaa pöydänalle.
1:15 "Where ya going buddy" EPIC!!! Best part of the whole video, beating the shit out of Todd's kings move.😎🦾
Also wasn't that Bill Collins refereeing there? 👀
He nicely defeated Michael's under the table technique🦾
If there ever was a goat at anything its John Brzenk in armwrestling
Some people are just blessed with high muscle and bone density, tendon and connective tissue strength.
There is no blessed about he he started training in his young teens. He is the product of decent genetics and an insane amount of work. He was literally pulling 2+ tournaments a month from a young teen.
The king of armwrestling 👑💪💪👏👏👍👍🌸
Alexey voevoda had something to say about that
Even Levan knows John is the goat. Simply put , no one has the resume he does. No one. No one ever will either. He is the pinnacle of any athlete at any sport . Michael Jordan , Tom Brady , etc
First loss was 2004, after a reign of 25 years of undereats - Incredible!
He lost in 1998 to Alan Karaev
@@АраикВергетов Yeah, I wondering if it meant didn't lose a comp for 25 years???
I think he means in his weighclass because he had losses in that time like in supermatches against superheavyweights! I mean still the GOAT nobody really compares to him.
Most people's prime last a few yrs, his last decades
The Legend, The Goat, The Perfect Storm...
John Brzenk his the best Armwrestler of All Time AND he has the most years of invincibility in the history of sport in general...
This is crazy.
I remember when pulling John came out that's when I became a fan.
A true legend.
I love this guy Mr. Brent. Clean cut un -assuming beast of arm wrestling. I call him MR. BRZENK because he is the Man
Pulling John was good.
I think a real documentary should be made. A 30 for 30 production or something of that level. Efrin Reyes also.
I only learned one thing from this. And that is Vasili's O face must be a nightmare.
Andrey Pushkar imo,evolved the most from vsing John-he went from being owned easily to owning John easily at one point.
Rip champion of the highest levels
"Where are you going ? " under the table...
Look i am a big Larrat fan,but John is definately the GOAT of arm wrestling!!
Outside of youtube commenters no-one claims anything but.
watching John handle guys like Cyp Chaffee and Push is amazing
Not to mention vasili, arsen, and chance. Devon is a bonus, in 2015 he wasn't that strong compared to brzenk, but 2021 ? i dont think even brzenk can take him anymore. He pulled todd out of the world the last time they met.
@@rascos1786 It will be exciting. But as Devon's own friends said during the Dimitri match "Never bet against Brzenk"... I guess they are torn now :D
Let’s see Levan go undefeated for over 20 years !! Not a chance !! Big John will ALWAYS be the GOAT !! 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Can you imagine what John would have done to Chance if he had a full nights rest and didn’t have 24 beers in him ?
Thankfully it sounds like he has dropped the beer-guzzling. I'm glad.
If you watch the match in .25 speed you see him giving everything to chance then taking it back. Chance was a test where chance was strong not where John was strong. This is what Devon told guys in his club after the pull and watching it in slow mo.
1:17 when the music lowered I laughed my ass off 😭😭😭 "where you goin buddy?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Love watching him put Larratt down!!
It’s cool but I think larratt would win if he wasn’t so bad against flashes. Lol
In his prime , if John rested his elbow & put his hand up at a railway crossing & waited for a train , he would have stopped it dead in its tracks .
LOL
Even in his old age he is so strong to defeat much younger wrestlers !!!!
The only guy not in this video against him is the GOAT Alexey voevoda..... Strong AF
No one :
Literally no one :
John Brzenk : I'm the man who can't be moved.
@@thegreatape884 is it already overused? We started using it just few months ago on our planet. Btw, i'm from Mars.
Hes been showing up to these tournaments in his work clothes for 40 years after working 8 hours at the airport and beating everyone.
He beat everyone. The GOAT no doubt about it.
Truly phenomenal hand and wrist strength
Yep
Very simply: the GOAT.
GOAT
John Brzenk the real G.O.A.T. !!
The best of all time the goat. Respect!!
i loved when he beat devon :D hahahha fucking loving it.
Yeah, devon is a beast and got slammed by him
Seeing him smash Devon at 50 years old is awesome.
Need one these videos for devon. For sure
There is: th-cam.com/video/UlWyAA0dado/w-d-xo.html
The Perfect Storm indeed !!!!
0:34 that hurt, he was giving immediately a hand shake and brzenk taunted ahahahah
John Brzenk THE BEST!!! 💪
Sacré champion 💪👌🔥
Je confirme !
pure power
Guinnes book world record for him!!!
He is discribed as "Michael Jordan" or "Pelé" of armwrestling!
Jordan and Pelé are legends because of what they achieved and the fact that they also were pioneers, like the first superstars and true icone of their sports. In that sens, I agree, John is also like them for armwrestling.
But beating every single guy in the game like he did for freaking decades, that's some Ronnie Coleman and Mike Tyson sh*t to be honest =)

excellent backpressure he can break an arm from a 45 degree angle and then its over "pulling John"
Young John looked a bit like Luke Skywalker.

Потрясающий борец. Никаких выебонов,только сила и техника. Лучший !
Legend!
Was john really undefeated for 25 years😮😮
Please tell
I have seen him lost to Daven, Denis and I have never seen him against Alex Vedo....
Jesus he beat Dennis. Did he ever face Dennis around 2014 when he was just a monster. Dennis was already pretty big in that early fight. Two of my favourites. Can't Stand Todd n Larrett

undefeated in his weight class. he pulled in other weight classes far above his main weight class
I think he's there when the top roll is invented
The guy is awesome., what a legacy . let me find out I have to arm wrestle this guy 😂😂😂
you know John and Stallone went at it behind the scenes just to see. I'd love to see Stallone get stomped easy.
Guy was a beast just wondering if he ever pulled George Givens I know he was a beast too, not sure if they were in the same weight class.
There's no arguing that Brzenk isn't the GOAT. He's beaten EVERYONE, and was dominant through 3 decades.
Para mi los tres mejores . Jon, Denis, Larrat !!! Los mejores de la historia !! Sobretodo brenzenk.
The GOAT of GOATS, in any sport.
Wow he's just looking at the opponents hand like wow he's hand is going down..
Cyplenkov, who wins 6-0 against Larrat, is awesome. And then Cyplenkov loses to Brzenk 0-6. I think there is no need for further comment
In 2008, brzenk loses to Devon 0-6, but brzenk still the goat
Any 1 of the 3 on their best day would 6-0 the other 2.
2010 Denis easily beat John. John never came back for a rematch after that. John could only beat Denis when he was an armwrestling newbie.
@@stoneeh because John was already getting old and stopped competing much by that time. If Denis started with John (same era), that would be a great, but short rivalry (because of how fast Denis got unhealthy). Young John would most likely beat him most of the time imo.

He has beaten basically everyone. For decades.

No shame at all loosing to John every ones far too chill about it lmao
i see brzenk, i click
25 years having more vowels in his surname than losses.
The One Above All!
LOVE HOW NONE OF THEM COWARDLY SLIPPED OUT LIKE A CHICKEN COWARD. I think larrat started the slipping coward move knowing his opponent was stronger
From where he get that power being smaller rather the others
