Todd leaves a foul taste in the mouth. His style? What style? His sportsmanship? What sportsmanship? Why does the crowd not boo him? Are they lowlives as well? One can only wish someone strong enough comes along and snap off his elbow. That's what his "technique" deserves.
Kevin Callahan the King’s Move is Legal. Both men are free to try it. Todd is genius using a legal move to beat opponents. If they don’t like it then do it themselves. It’s their freaking faults for letting him and not doing it as well.
Well, it's not really. WAL rules don't allow competitors to drop either shoulder under the pad, but the refs choose to ignore it. Also WAL is literally the only armwrestling organization that has extra large pads that extend all the way to the edge of the table, which is what allows Michael to have his elbow up in the air with only his triceps touching the pad.
Because he is the champion of some of these leagues, and to talk poorly of the league's champion would lose them a job. To talk poorly of their champion would be to talk poorly of their league, their employer. Unless rule change or a major injury prevent it, he will remain at the highest level for the foreseeable future. These guys also run into each other a lot. It is a close knit community at the highest level, and Todd is really huge. You would not want to talk shit about him to his face.
@@forbandyson8921 its true, it has too be so much more complex than people would think. Most of these people watch cause of devon yet on his TH-cam channel he has uploaded a video showing how the move is so versatile. I watch cause of devon about 2 years ago but I still understand nothing is at it seems if you dont actually try it, which I have. You have to have the stamina and a bicep of steel not to snap from a table. I don't like todd much but it doesn't change his abilities or that he does this move because of injuries, and if anyone's to blame its WAL for not changing the rules.
matt is crazy strong but he doesnt have the stemina devon has and his better without the staps and u know devon would slip and always go for the straps
UnaSolida - Well, it was just announced that another Mask vs Larratt rematch is happening at the next WAL event. I believe it is in mid-August. I think Devon will take it, like in the past. But Mask have been surging lately.
He can but he's always lost or broke his arm when he did,latterly his right arm has been broken 72 times.Todd said this on his TH-cam channel,72 breaks..so many his right arm is fused at elbow.he can only straighten it to about 45 degrees thus his style.WAL went to a 7×9 elbow pad instead of the world standard 7×7 pad.so Michael can acuatly pull his elbow of the back of the table and leverage it against back edge of table and that anchor point combined with a fused elbow you can't win because opponents are armwrestling and wear out while Michael is doing NO work.only hanging from opponents arm.but its all WAL because he is clearly off the back of table /pad but they will not call foul and try to hide it by the 7×9 elbow pad where the extra 2 inches go all the way to edge of table...if WAL would make it 9×9 the opponents would have 2 more inches to drag there elbow over to a point to counter and stay on top of Michaels hand but as is now no matter how good or strong u are you can't get in a spot to make him have to fight
Watch “where ya going buddy” Brzenk not only beats him while Todd uses the kings move but Todd’s hook looks embarrassing against real arm wrestlers like John
Your opinion is horse shit. Nobody besides crazy George can use this move as well as Todd. That's why most don't use it. They don't have enough power in their pronation and rotation.
zac oliver the idiot's that blast ass out their mouth have no idea how hard it is. Most peoples arm would be ripped apart if they tried what Todd does.
Todd's style will be the down fail of arm wrestling. Some people care more about winning then winning well. A simple rule would fix it. Top of shoulder has to be above elbow at all time.
Todd is the living embodiment of the reason, arm wrestling, despite being a relatively interesting sport with its theory and tactics, is not taken seriously by the sporting world.
Moe Ted Cyplenkov also uses Kings move..! Nothing great there either. He used that against Chaffee, Todd, Arsen Liliev and sometimes against Pushkar just to stop the hit in Pushkar’s case.
Matt Budesa Dont get hurt fanboy. Thats the truth. Dave Chaffee has more power than cyplenkov and thats why cyplenkov had to use the shitty kings shitty move.
Because it's the opponents job to hold on to the hand. So if you are doing a legit move and slip out then they cannot penalize. Even if it's obvious you want the strap.
Todd has mastered the art of slipping his hand out just so he can use the strap. They should make it a rule to either do the whole match with the strap or without it. Really dumb the way it's set up now
when you can clearly see air between MT elbow and the pad, and u think WTF so can anybody cheat now and win or just MT (dose he give a gift to the judges or something, huh huh huh lol)
People hate the king's move for no reason, yeah it looks dumb but it's not that easy to pull off. You still need an incredible amount of strength to hold someone like that. What people don't understand is that the king's move is the easiest move in the world to beat if you don't train for it consistently.
Everytime I watch any Todd's match,i can see Full of dumb keyboard warriors comments , noobs educate yourself, arm wrestling is a game, and u have to have the ability to play the game at any cost, I don't like Michael Todd but i love kings move because it's an advance technique, not everyone could do it, only 15+ years of experience u need to pull of kings move! Remember arm wrestling is not only about raw strength, lots more techniques involved, without techniques ur strength means nothing.
I see criticism of Todd everywhere but no hint of any fouls in this match. His technique here is perfectly legal. Also seems like a genuinely nice guy. I’m not pro American, for the record.
Monster always uses body weight and never depends on the strength of his arms..great technique for a brave man....i thought he would be tougher with the beard
Give Todd a chair next time. He looks uncomfortable trying to sit on the floor.
😂😂
lol
he won't fit under the table if he has a chair
Todd leaves a foul taste in the mouth. His style? What style? His sportsmanship? What sportsmanship? Why does the crowd not boo him? Are they lowlives as well?
One can only wish someone strong enough comes along and snap off his elbow. That's what his "technique" deserves.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Imagine Todd vs Todd. We would need a submarine to view that match up.
always straight to the straps, but it would still take decades to finish the match
Here at the bottom of the Mariana trench we find 2 deep sea Todd's battling for oceanic supremacy.
ahahahahahahah
@Merk Man, I read that in the voice of Neil Pickup.
Lmao
They got one fact wrong, they said Todd fights from Hotsprings, Arkansas. He actually fights from under the table
Blunder from down under
Yup
They should give Todd a bed to lay on while he pulls. I mean he practically lays down anyways.
ELiTE_OpTiic i couldnt agree more with you..i hate his game
He lays down and rests while his opponent tears himself up to beat him and we see Todd show his muscles at the end!
Yes Todd beat them by laying under the table
Kevin Callahan the King’s Move is Legal. Both men are free to try it. Todd is genius using a legal move to beat opponents. If they don’t like it then do it themselves. It’s their freaking faults for letting him and not doing it as well.
@@jbcampbell3455 he uses the move yes, does his elbow literally stay off the pad? Yes, do refs never call a foul no. Thats why he wins
Davidn93 then the opponents should try the same thing
@@jbcampbell3455 no they should not there actually doing it right
J B Campbell they should chewy too? That’s your answer? I hope you never have kids, the jails are already to crowded. How pathetic
im so sick of todd STAND UP
Same
he has to have to least apealing "technique" out there.
The fact that this is legal baffles me

@@lepe It's close, but I don't think his shoulder is going below the level of the pad. Maybe it is, can't really see from this angle.
Whoever’s in charge of WAL does not want to grow the sport
Anyone notice the moment todd actually stood up for like 3 seconds then nick almost pinned him 😂😂
Idk why commentators love Todd. He is just camping under the fking table
Because he is the champion of some of these leagues, and to talk poorly of the league's champion would lose them a job.

King's move baby, the kryptonite to the no limit man!
pathetic how they allow Todd to almost be under the table like that, zero respect from me.
Hell yeah he has broken that hand many tim3s so his bone lock there so its imposible to beat him
Yup
Guys stop being mad angry the rules are allowed for being under table but atleast his elbow is on the pad
@@pirata273 its not bone lock its called stradegy you dumb kid
Cadorette beat Todd and Mask beat Zinna. Anyone else think Matt Mask vs Jerry Cadorette would be a great matchup?
Timmy Turner Sure
Timmy Turner Larrett vs Mask would be great, Matt is much more formidable since 2016.
matt is crazy strong but he doesnt have the stemina devon has and his better without the staps and u know devon would slip and always go for the straps
In fact both have improved, so I think results would be the same as those last matches.
UnaSolida - Well, it was just announced that another Mask vs Larratt rematch is happening at the next WAL event. I believe it is in mid-August. I think Devon will take it, like in the past. But Mask have been surging lately.
Todd is the most BORING armwrestler to watch... always the same chicken dinner
Agree completely....so damn boring. One trick pony
Now i want a chicken dinner ooooof
Truth
"Gee Dad, when I grow up I want to armwrestle like Michael Todd" said no-one ever.
So true
That's funny but nowadays people are respecting and appreciating M.T.
Can Todd not arm wrestle normal?
He can but he's always lost or broke his arm when he did,latterly his right arm has been broken 72 times.Todd said this on his TH-cam channel,72 breaks..so many his right arm is fused at elbow.he can only straighten it to about 45 degrees thus his style.WAL went to a 7×9 elbow pad instead of the world standard 7×7 pad.so Michael can acuatly pull his elbow of the back of the table and leverage it against back edge of table and that anchor point combined with a fused elbow you can't win because opponents are armwrestling and wear out while Michael is doing NO work.only hanging from opponents arm.but its all WAL because he is clearly off the back of table /pad but they will not call foul and try to hide it by the 7×9 elbow pad where the extra 2 inches go all the way to edge of table...if WAL would make it 9×9 the opponents would have 2 more inches to drag there elbow over to a point to counter and stay on top of Michaels hand but as is now no matter how good or strong u are you can't get in a spot to make him have to fight

@@douglasenzor48 look i don't like it either but lets be honest. His arm doesnt straighten which is why pulls like that.
love how the refree didnt even gave an eye on Todd's elbow. fucking wonderful
Id like to see if Todd could just square up like a man and actually stand up and press his opponent's hand. Also Todd has to have the straps to win.
He did years ago, he used to be all heart. Not anymore, I don't hate his style, but it is so FUCKING boring.
How can he even be proud of winning that way?? Wait where’d he go??
That kings move is horse shit should be illegal.
Your opinion is horse shit. Nobody besides crazy George can use this move as well as Todd. That's why most don't use it. They don't have enough power in their pronation and rotation.
They both used it here
Yes it’s s bitch move for sure
jamiller379 get above the table like a real man anyone can sit there with there arm stretched out Kong’s move isn’t hard
zac oliver the idiot's that blast ass out their mouth have no idea how hard it is. Most peoples arm would be ripped apart if they tried what Todd does.
They say you can actually see Todds legs in Australia.
In Michael Todd's mind he has never been pinned. There's always something that he doesn't agree with lol.
Michael "lay down" Todd
Queens move more like.
Beggars move head down begging
I swear Todd must troll every game of bear pong to master this under the table technique
Todd is a joke
todd is the best
TheMainEvent not at all lol
@@themainevent7833 Not-at-all.
TheMainEvent Not at all...

If your below the table that’s a loss
Todd's style will be the down fail of arm wrestling. Some people care more about winning then winning well. A simple rule would fix it. Top of shoulder has to be above elbow at all time.
Todd looking for gum under the table.
The future is now why is their no pressure sensors in the pin pads ?
Alex V-i-P Because the pad doesn't have to be touched for there to be a pin.
Arm length is an issue. Not all pins extend to the pad. You just have to break the plane.
What about sensors on the elbow pads then?
FiveNine We have refs for that.
They all seem to be terrible tho!@
Michael Todd is a disgrace for this game.
How boring is michael "vulture" todd. Single handedly ruined the sport
As much as he irritates me, it's not his fault. They need to ban it. Doesn't even look like he is playing the same sport. Ridiculous.
It’s so dumb
Uff, i love this announcer. He really did a great job.
For some reason, I would like to see a match with king's move vs king's move.
Chafee vs Larratt
Michael Todd! The monster hiding under your table.
Michael " the slip " Todd , what a disgrace , a big bearded guy just runs for the strap each time.
so does Devon.
Todd is the living embodiment of the reason, arm wrestling, despite being a relatively interesting sport with its theory and tactics, is not taken seriously by the sporting world.
If the crowd was real, they'd be booing the entire time.
No, nobody Boos Michael Todd who actually knows anything about arm wrestling
todd.... they should just refuse to compete against him till he goes away ... such garbage
Agreed
“Todd has good endurance." Hahah
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Todd slips out every time to get to the strap for kings move! REALLY?
I absolutely despise Todd's style. Not to be confused with Todd hutchings who stands up for the entire match.
Todd is a hanging coward winning with his body weight
Michael sit down Toad
Michael Todd takes the rules so seriously he keeps his elbow AND tricep on the pad at all times.
sorry but micheal todd is no armwrestler for me.he is just a cheater who hold real armwrestlers down.
Agree with u
Love the trying to talk about the queen move.
I think people are forgetting that a good defense is the best offense
This guy literally sitting while doing arm wrestling 🤦🏻♂️
You guys enjoy watching todd? IT MAKES ME SICK, lets see cyplenkov fresh vs todd
Moe Ted Cyplenkov also uses Kings move..! Nothing great there either. He used that against Chaffee, Todd, Arsen Liliev and sometimes against Pushkar just to stop the hit in Pushkar’s case.
Swami Abhedananda larratt, oleg?
Moe Ted What about those?
Swami Abhedananda Lol. Cyplenkov doesn't use anywhere to the degree Todd does. Not to mention his body stays above the table.
Matt Budesa Dont get hurt fanboy. Thats the truth. Dave Chaffee has more power than cyplenkov and thats why cyplenkov had to use the shitty kings shitty move.
Why is this todd guy on the floor every match? Isnt this suppose to be arm wrestling?
Every comment on here is anti todd. But dam i couldnt agree more. What shitty way of winning.
Todd is the only armwrestler who uses the kings move EVERY, SINGLE pull
Nick could be a monster if he was as serious as some of these other guys. He just doesn't pull alot anymore
5:26 "how hard it is to do the kings move"
Step 1. Sit down
Step 2. Wait
How to poop
Step1. Sit down
Step 2. Wait
😂
referee : "GO!"
*Tod faints*
It actually pissed me off the way Michael wrestle
Why is slipping on purpose not penalized?? That’s like running away in boxing..
Because it's the opponents job to hold on to the hand. So if you are doing a legit move and slip out then they cannot penalize. Even if it's obvious you want the strap.
Anon Anonymous I think the strap is for pussies who don’t have technique and can’t arm wrestle straight up
Imagine the controversy if the refs had to decide if the slips were on purpose or not
Dave Anderson take away the straps and no one has a reason to slip..they would just have to learn how to pull
not hard to see when someone slips on purpose
I'm new to watching these arm wrestling matchups. Todd makes this look really stupid.
Hes just resting under and waiting for the other to tire.
Does it mean Mrs .Monster and Monster do it under the bed ?
Todd has mastered the art of slipping his hand out just so he can use the strap. They should make it a rule to either do the whole match with the strap or without it. Really dumb the way it's set up now
When todd tried to stand up nick almost got hin xd then he fell back down
Todd is low skill and fully dependent on kings move and bad reffing to win his matches. He only has two moves. Kings move and tricep press.
What a farce of technique. Under the table todd
Haven't watched it yet but let me guess he dives under the table, what a coward
when you can clearly see air between MT elbow and the pad, and u think WTF so can anybody cheat now and win or just MT (dose he give a gift to the judges or something, huh huh huh lol)
Hi, im new and looking for some good armwrestling matches. IT looks like im wrong here...
Imagine having Cobra fucking Rhodes in your corner. Absolute ledge.
Does Todd ever not have to go to the kings move to win?
The man who live under the table
Everyone's strengths and techniques are different, this is what makes the sport of arm wrestling interesting!..
8:02 they know he is literally just sitting there almost like a coward... get that p.o.s. out of there.
“this is Todd’s world”, underneath the table. LOL
The face of todd tells everything. He’s not even struggling he’s just using his weight. This move should be banned
13:13 XD THAT GUYS TRYING TO SHAKE NICK ZINNAS HAND BUT HE IGNPRES ME XD
michael "under the table" todd
michael under the table todd
Where ya goin buddy?
So I've not seen a video where Todd doesnt use the kings (call it the b**** queen) move
The monster is now at a level that can't be beaten
please Todd,leave this Sport
Wow so many hate comments. Guys, Michael is an amazing arm wrestler. He broke his arm so he had to change his game
People hate the king's move for no reason, yeah it looks dumb but it's not that easy to pull off. You still need an incredible amount of strength to hold someone like that. What people don't understand is that the king's move is the easiest move in the world to beat if you don't train for it consistently.
Michael ''under the table'' Todd
What if the kings move is used against Todd? What is a rebuttal to this move?
IMAGINE IF THERE WHERE NO STRAPS LOL!!!!

The monster eating your soul. Inch by inch. Second by second! Love it,
Imagine if WAL battle is on the floor 😂😂i guess tood will underground
Those two birds in the back look like a good time.
anyone know whats Michael todd introduction song please? 1:18
Who da fook wants to watch that under table camper....
Smh...
If laying down under the table is such an advantage, why don’t other competitors do it? I mean if it’s legal and gives an advantage, I would do it.
8:08 lol, from 1-1 to 3-1 (bottom left corner)
13:10 left him hanging
Thought I'd never find this comment!
Me too!!!
Monster always uses body weight and never depends on the strength of his arms..great technique for a brave man....i thought he would be tougher with the beard
I can't watch Todd no more.. stand the f up like a man..
I love it how he pulls his damn hand away from the pad to keep from losing wtf!
There needs to be a vote to get Todd to stand up during these matches. Dude will get dusted by so many people once hes not allowed to lay down.
