A great short documentary on John Breznk along with close to another hour of bonus footage.
Well worth viewing by anyone whether you are a fan of arm wrestling or not.
Strangely Breznk seems to almost sink into the background with all of his friends and competitors talking him up.
He comes across as a great competitor and a great guy.

I have wanted to see this for a very long time ever since I saw the trailer on youtube that looked really cool!

Yeap. Got it from Netflix a couple of days ago.
I'm going to watch it again when I get home.

This finally came up on my Netflix queue. I don't think I've watched an arm wrestling match in my life (although I have seen Over The Top--holla!); but this was very enjoyable and well paced.
Brzenk comes across as a stand up guy, really likeable.
Travis is an asshole.
Interesting to note that Alexey went on to win a silver medal on 2 man bobsled at the 2006 games, and bronze at the 2010 games for 4 man team. He has apparently since quite arm wrestling to focus on judo and bobsled.

One of my favorite documentaries. I probably watch it at least twice a year.
