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.
@@pleaseforgiveme1749 probably same video I watched that got me into it!! I've heard a bunch of people say that juji video was the introduction!!! Right after pandemic happened we were locked down I I'm just cruising thru you tube lol 💪 been a huge fan every since crazy!!! Very thankful for that day 🙏
He made me know about the sport. He made me love the sport. It's not just about the guy who wins but also the one who promotes, entertains, loves and makes u love it too.
I've followed John forever, but Devon definitely rekindled my fondness of the sport. He is a great entertainer as well as a true warrior in more than one aspect
@@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.
@@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.
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.
@@kennyproctor7691Devon was in the Military for 20 years, 16 years Tier 1 Canadian Special Forces in JTF2, the only foreign Special Forces Team to be Conducted by the United States into their Tier 1 Rankings alongside Delta Force and Seal Team 6. He has 8 Tours in the "sandbox" Afghanistan before he was injured getting shot twice and retired from Military and Special Forces services. He did all that whilst performing at the highest levels of professional arm wrestling. Show your respect.
Thank you for another great video. My teenage son has gotten me into armwrestling. Devon has helped that interest grow. This channel has taught me armwrestling history. Thank you all.
Another awesome video Mr. Arm Historian, the best one so far 💪🤘and love or hate the Devon, he most certainly deserves that legendary status 🚂👑🏆🎃🥞🚃 I'm sure Devon himself gonna love this video too
I came across a video with Juji and Mangnus and then binged Juju's entire channel and of course came across Devon and that was like 4 or so years ago and I've been addicted ever since.
Great work! This is the type of content that arm wrestling needs to get more main stream exposure. The more people learn about the wrestlers the easier it is to relate and become fans of the sport.
Dude the way you made this video and the commentating the effort and detail I would love to see you do videos on every sports star in the world. You have a gift for telling peoples story, respect ! 👌👌👌
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! Arrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It sounds like Devon managed to win you over! Which I think would resonate with a lot of people. The truth for me is that I can't imagine the sport without him anymore. Like you said, everyone has issues/demons to deal with.. and Devon is unapologetically himself, which I think is at the end of the day a good thing! Thank you for watching and the comment. Appreciate the White Wolf!
Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!! Keep these longer videos coming. You have many interesting characters to cover but can I recommend this approach to some historic matches. Introducing the opponents, the lead up, the match, and the aftermath and how the event affected each of them. Definitely going to spend some time on your older videos. Cheers! Thanx for the entertainment
Both hero and villain but will always be remembered for his contributions to the sport. No one hated on him till the KM though. That gave people ammo lol.
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.
Great showmanship. Awesome dude. Even when opponents tauted him disrespectfully got it his face and yelled, he liked it and played into it because he knew its all showbusiness that just adds to the spectacle. Never took anything personaly.
Great channel and info. Devon is a legend in his millitary life and after and I believe he's the last of the greats from the generation X armwrestlers. 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"
Great video. Nearly all the matches, where Devon is shown as victor, also show him straight armed; one day, maybe, AWing will have some sense about what a winning pin/position looks like.
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! My only complaint about today's AH video is that it flew by in 5min when I was expecting 30! If your videos get any better it will break the Matrix mainframe!! Thanks as always, MB. :)
Heya Muscle Bike! I'm so happy to hear you are still enjoying my content. I'll strive to keep the quality up, thanks for your continued support. As for EvW, I did enjoy the event overall but I more than understand your qualms. I guess we've talked about it already during the live.
This is good, really good....and concisely packed with interesting info! Excellent narrative, good job! I just became aware of Devon like yesterday, so very good to get the info this way!💪
Wow the amount that the Devon story changed in 8 months since this video released is WILD. The loss to genadi, then interim #1 in the world after beating ermes easily, and denis. Truly in such a different place than where this video leaves off
Thank you for the video. This is something I definitely would’ve been interested starting as a youngster. A sport that you can start as a pastime and really get into it as time goes on. I have been very competitive in my life. This would’ve been great to get into.God bless Devon his family and the creator of this video. Amen.
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.
Whatttttt?!?! I had NO IDEA BME Shannon and Devon were related! Wow, that’s so funny, what a small world. Both blazing new trails for their own fields. RIP to Shannon, much respect.
For me, Devon is the top armwrestling figure, not only for what he has achieved but rather for his ability to make the sport more popular, and I think we can all agree on that. Excellent video btw! Top stuff!
I wish he had given the UFC a real try. He could have been world class with just a few years of striking and wrestling training. He is such a natural athlete.

Thanks for the insight!
Dudes the only reason I know about armwrestling and learning about his service in military and love story he shares his wife is just heart warming
He didn't have the biggest arms in the Cyplenkov match, but, by God, he had the biggest hair.

I'm very happy that people are finding value in my videos and that you decided to get into armwrestling.
Hope you enjoy the journey.
The guys a legend no matter what because there were times when no one would want to pull with him.
Great documentary as usual. Stellar work my man
Thanks Martino, as always!
Nice to find you here Martino :D I follow you on r/armwrestling
