Episode 4
Tue, Mar 18, 201443 mins
Kenny Hughes (Arm Benders) sits on a chair, sick with the flu. "I feel ready to pass out," he tells supporters. Across the auto repair shop, Mike Selearis (Arms Control) looks ready to attack. "When I tell people I'm a professional arm wrestler, they laugh," says Selearis. "They ask, 'Is that a real thing?' You're G-damn right it is." As Selearis locks arms with Hughes, his longtime rival, snapshots appear of regional arm wrestling teams: Erie, New York City, Kansas City, Sacramento, and Baton Rouge. All are home to squads of professional "pullers" who travel the country looking for prize money and recognition. This week, Sacramento meets New York City in a best-of-five competition. The five members of the New York team meet in Selearis's basement to train. The sound travels up to the first floor, where Selearis's wife is trying to get their children ready for school. "It's 5:30 in the morning," she says wearily, "and I have five men making screaming [noises] and lifting weights." Surrounding Selearis, the star of the team, are Mike Ayello, a firefighter built like a brick; Kevin Nelson, a graphic artist who uses a sensory deprivation tank to focus; heavily-tattooed Rob Bigwood, an art director and vegan; and Dan Fortuna, an animal rehabilitation worker. The focus shifts to Sacramento: Kenny Hughes pounds back beers as he trains. Surrounding him are Luke Kindt, a mechanic; Mike McGraw, a grocery clerk missing a leg; Tom Nelson, a UPS worker; and the legendary Allen Fisher, a 57-year-old minister and 26-time world champion.
