Finally armwrestling is getting the exposure that it deserves with this kick ass show! For anyone that doesn't know about the world of armwrestling, it's a VERY painful and costly sport to be a part of, that reaps little reward aside from titles and pride.
The show is intense, and emphasizes the underground nature of the sport. It's not exactly like this in the sport, but I understand what the producers are doing.
If you like BS shows like the Kardashians or Honey Boo Boo, then this show's not for you. This show has REAL people, NOT acting (I know for a fact!), with REAL issues, and REAL pain putting it on the line for not very much money. I will agree, the payouts are a joke, but the money is NOT the point. They all knew that the show was about more than money.
I'm hoping the public can watch this show with respect for these ATHLETES, just like any other sport, and the armwrestling world as a whole will benefit. This is just the first step! I haven't seen an episode yet that I didn't like.
