    My longest video yet by play time and workload. I hope the wait was worth it and that you enjoy this behemoth of a video.
    I'm sure a lot of you have opinions on Devon and whether or not he is deserving of a "Legend Status". I'd love to hear your thoughts.

      @@armhistorian Great video BUT, where do you get a "Canadian Bum" from? That is distasteful & insulting especially since it's NOT even close to being true in the slightest. You should really redo the title & make it more realistic & appropriate.

    • @armhistorian
      @armhistorian  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@neverfeartruth6460 thanks. A couple of points about the title. Devon drifted around Canada after high school. He also regularly slept outside and didnt wear shoes etc. All pretty bumlike attitudes. I'm also refering mainly to his armwrestling ability in that time. He has also called himself a bum on multiple occasions.
      This video was called "the full history of Devon Larratt" for many months and got véry little views. People in the armwrestling community don't respond at all to "normal" or "descriptive" titles. Barely anyone clicked on it. Since I renamed it to this, views have shot up.
      I think this title still pretty well describes what went down without being insulting, since he did refer to himself as that.

      @@armhistorian I 100% totally understand the whole "Nothing to something" title, but that's not a truly accurate description or a true statement when it comes to Devon. I would have titled it "From Military man to Arm Wrestling Icon" because Devon is in my opinion is the ONLY reason the sport of Arm Wrestling is where it is right now. No one else draws the amount of attention, money, sponsors etc...for the sport & pullers than Devon does. EVERY PULLER should thank Devon for making each of them MORE MONEY. Like him or not, if Devon wasn't in the sport it would still be in local bars underground & pulling for beers & wings. I am Canadian & if it wasn't for Devon I never would have gotten interested in the sport, now I can't miss East vs West, KOTT, Arm Wars etc...solely because of my Canadian brother Devon. In reality Devon has done some truly amazing stuff being in the Military at the highest level & doing 7 tours in Afghanistan etc...I just believe the title to be a misrepresentation of Devon & just wrong to call anyone a "Bum" in general. That's all brother. Like I said it was a GREAT VIDEO! WELL DONE SIR! 👍🏻💯

    People really do forget that he is a former Special Forces. The dude did 7 tours in Afghanistan. That’s fucking insane, which would explain why he doesn’t seem to be intimidated by his opponents that much. They don’t really scare him.

    • @kennyproctor7691
      @kennyproctor7691 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      7 tours for an SF guy is like 3 for a regular grunt. At least in the US, if I'm not mistaken the SF dudes we were around would do 3-6 month deployments. I spent 18 months in Afghanistan and I remember seeing SF guys arrive and leave during my time there but then again their mission is much different than reg army. I've still never been given a satisfactory answer as to why American troops were sent there in the first place. I really hate politicians.

    Very much enjoyed this post. Arm wrestling may never gain the notoriety of other popular sports.
    For those who watch and understand, it really is the pure sport. It will always be difficult to sell to those with different appetites. Collective sports or boxing, UFC. It really doesn’t matter. Those who pull will continue to do so. Arm against arm. No goals scored, no punches thrown. No arm or leg locks. Just eyes fixed and the tension of the arms on table.
    It’s pure

    🐺🐺🐺 Thank you #Arm Historian! It was the GOAT in "Pulling John" that hooked me and reeled me in! Then I began searching YT for Brzenk videos (and there's tons of them)... eventually Devon showed up and was getting beaten handily by John... but eventually Devon did beat John and I really didn't like him much in the beginning (mainly because he beat John...lol). After watching many many more videos, Devon kept showing up more and more and I really liked his style and I went from a pissed off John Brzenk fan... to a big-time supporter and follower of Devon! How can you not unless you have your own issues/demons to deal with... and I guess that's okay... we are who we are... until we're not! NO LIMITS FOR LIFE!

    @jakobstisen6366 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I think the coolest thing about Devon is that he still can arm wrestle on the top level or at least close to it, maybe it looks stupid but how would you arm wrestle if your elbows are so damage that you cant actively make use of side pressure in a toproll or a hook. Compared to anyone in 100 kg+
    People focus on the size of his muscles, but if Devon "somehow" could start using more side pressure again then that would be cool to see, and would remove his obvious problem of arm wrestling a guy like Dave that takes the center and Devon that cant do anything but give the center.
    Because of this he sadly cant fight for the center, but have to fight in a losing position every round so it kind of becomes fully obvious why he focused so much on training to get a a super strong cup, rise and pronation.
    Lets see if Genadi tryes to toproll Devon if so then I going to be fun to watch. I think its all on Genardi if Devon is going to lose or win.

    As time ticks the millennials and generation Z will slowly overtake the previous generations in sport, stregnth and ability in all aspects but we should never forget these greats we live among, as we all get older, it's part of our life presently.
    Remember Devon as the man, the millitary dude, the cocky armwrestler, 1 day we might think back on these times and say, that was the time, it was our time.
    All the best to the legends of our time, it's both sad and beautiful. "Zeit"

    Hey AH! I'm sure my eyes lit up when I saw this video, just after today's EvW ppv. Another tough day for Devon pulling eastern mammoth Genadi and not quite getting the win. Many of us have criticised the refs for being overly strict yet missing obvious fouls but Devon being the true sportsman he is said he didn't blame the refs, only himself!

    He's the most charismatic Arm Wrestler before and till this day. He got the face of a hollywood star, the strenght of a god, the attitude of entertainer, and lasty the inifinite determination of Devon "No Limit" Larrat.

    He is great, and a legitimate bad ass. And he’s the most generous champion arm wrestler to the fans. He’s given way more than he’s received in every way possible.

    Without him we never knew about arm wrestling. We consider this a backyard sport for enjoyment and not really a sport, but today people have seen this as a potential international Olympic status.
