Thats a new record for Micheal Todd, standing next to an armwrestling table for 17minutes straight without even dropping down once. I‘m proud of him 😂
Razor Blade lol
Funny they have two of the best arm wrestlers explain a move because people bitch about it and what happens, people bitch about it steal for no reason.
😂😂👌
i'm sure he dropped down a few times in the outtakes ;)
@@forsakenwarlord5752 theyre making jokes, you're the one whos bitching
Devon is the smartest armwrestler of all time
SERIOUS-POWER John
Not sure if he's the smartest. Some might make an arguement for a few others however Devon is the MOST PASSIONATE Arm wrestler alive!
I really think Denis cyplonkof is the smartest
@pabnaful lol just doesn't ring as well as Michael (under the table) Todd 👨💻💪
@@BANDEV89 he doesn't even have thecnical skills
16:36 was when Devon realized that he's been holding hands with Neil for 15 minutes straight.
😆
They should rename it extreme un gay male hand holding. I think neil was getting real comfy-like being in devons embrace so close he could smell his musk. Im pretty damn sure if devon wanted he could’ve absolutely had his way with neil. Slam dunk. When devon pulls the kings move its because his legs can no longer support his massive elite warrior nutsack and dong so his legs just buckle like a baby deer. I saw dudes garbage at the gym in ontario once. It looked like a full Portuguese sausage flanked by 2 huge baked potatoes. Thank god we have dudes like that fighting for our freedom. Who could blame neil for not wanting to let go of his hand. Neil probably still has yet to wash that hand . He keeps it in a plastic bag all day until he goes for a WANK and breaks the seal ever so slightly just to inhale some of that manliness. Like a devon larrat smelling salt. He then immediately climax’s And then promptly reseals it to preserve the freshness

Lmao Devon and Todd furiously taking notes on what they’re both saying here for their next match.
@eternity cosplay well i wouldnt say having a straight arm relying on your joints and muscle fibrers in a relaxed state, or very little use of your muscles is a smart move. Its a lazy move not Kings Move. Chance to win against it is by breaking opponents arm or hard enough so the joints hurt. Thats not armwrestling!
@eternity cosplay congrats, myself are at 42cm. I have seen several videos with people like todd having his head, shoulders at table height and elbow pointing away from the pad not even touching it and resting triceps on the pads. I understand what you are saying but im not agreeing with LazyMove for those reasons. Just because you can do something doesnt mean its a valid reason. Have you tried bending an arm backwards with regular side pressure against the elbow joint? Use full pressure urself doing that for 8min, an 80 year old can pull you down after that drain of energy. Reason why i dislike it, its a lazy move for much less work. Its like the dude that switched gender and now beats all wimen in "its" female weightlifting class. Why, well because as a man that thing wasnt impressive at all. But switch gender and voila you are now the best woman with man genes. Back in the day we called it doping. Not that it has anything to do with this really except, i just point out bullshit as i see it, same with straight arm armwrestling. Cause back in the day +10 years back, a straight arm meant you lost in Arm Wrestling. But perhaps we get a gender neutral straight arm armwrestling class while sitting below the table. And they can sit on chair aswell while hanging under the table anyways right.
@eternity cosplay yepp

@@TexasIsACountry I don't agree at all.. Wasn't my experience of the British Army.
That’s the exact experience in the british army lmao.
I knew it would gain acceptance from the moment that they started calling it the "Kings Move".
If we were calling it the "Under-table crawl" people would think about it differently.
I think the "the lazy's move" is more appropiate. But i dont have nothing against the move, im just saying.
the thing with king's move is that you can't pin it and if your arm can't be pinned you will win anyway hence you feel like a king and get money and also it's a very advanced move so yeah beginner and intermediate players don't try it. only very pro league people try it. #NoOffence the real question is what would you do if your opponent does it and you are like i can't do anything its cheating, or why don't you give it a try the king's move and get the money. the comment section is filled with egoistic peoples.EDIT: anyway pride is the greatest sin. so yeah #NoOffence
@@budhhansda1183 John Brzenk dealt with michael todd's king's move just fine; search it on youtube.
There are many ways to counter a king's move. I know another one that I'm not gonna say.
And now, after they've implemented a rule that the shoulder can't go lower than the table, it is even easier to counter.
@@gorilaogorila835 yes i have seen john brzenk defeating todd it was the best, to see todd lose haha john is a beast defeating todd like that "where you goin buddy" lol am a devon fan and also i have seen dmitry trubin vs todd how he raise his hand in the straps with todd and defeated him its sick.

Every time I sit down to dinner, I always check under the table just to make sure Micheal Todd isn’t under there 😶
🤣

😀😀

Kingsmove is fine since the beginning for me the problem was that Michael Todd fouled so much because his shoulder dropped so much under the table and it was never called 95% of the times.
As a casual fan, the rules are very confusing especially around this move (and also since they've been changed). I would enjoy watching this maneuver if knowledgeable commentators could explain the rules and if the refs enforced them.
@@michaelclarkjmy understanding is that there actually is a rule.. and that it is when the shoulder drops beneath the table, when it is illegal.
The other obvious thing is, that the people who like the Kings move, know this rule, but deny it every time an arm-wrestler goes too low under the table, and just turn the blind eye on it.
Its strange how no-one wants to be honest about this rule. And the referee's almost never stop it when the shoulder goes beneath the table..
Are they blind, or just not bothered to be rigid on the rule ?
I'll sit through any video with Devon and I don't even arm wrestle. He's like an arm-scholar and it's fascinating.

@@WorldArmwrestlingLeague oh God I'd love to
time stamp?
would be great, if we could get similar in depth analysis of the other techniques, as part of a educational series.
We have some more videos coming soon on this very topic. Check out our "training" videos too. Thanks for sharing!
Pro league using a elementary school platform. Evolve the table so that it isolates the arms or this wont be taken seriously.
My problem is, looking at the replays, Michael's arm is all but straight during the match. Yet, you still can't pin him. Being so far under the table, creates an arm angle that makes it just about impossible to pin him without breaking his arm. That has to be addressed.
thats a myth
Lol, that's the same with if you are in a break arm position which armwrestlers go a lot of times in, do you have a problem with elite armwrestlers going in a break arm position too
This could be the single greatest technique course for arm wrestling in all of CZcams. The way that Michael Todd explains what Kings move actually does is incredible.
Why do I always feel like Devon is educating us while Michael is always trying to justify himself?
Yeah I think the same. Maybe it is because Devon is loved and Michael is a "meme" and a bit hated. He might be a bit frustrated that people that does not know anything about armwrestling are commenting on the topic, how it is a bad move for the sport, cheating etc. He knows that it really requires skill and he is known to use it and to be really good at, so he wants to defend it.
I do not like it either, but who am I to say really.
To put it in stubborn people head that Kong’s move is a technique. That bye is hard to get right. My fucking arm almost broke doing it. Needs more work on static strength
Because that’s exactly what’s happening
Devon has better leadership and communication skills is why
Because it is true as Michael got his hammers by cheating and everyone saw it!
Neil's fingers turning purple just from being there lmao.
Great tutorial by Michael and Devon. Both gave great instruction.
Kings move should be banned like eye gouging and fishhooking is in MMA.
Ok Karen.
Bucket Mouth Inc fish hooking lol wtf you been watching bro lol
When the arm gets stretched 100% straight with shoulder lower than wrist it gets ugly af.
Exactly its lazy, its not armwrestling when you start by pull out your f arm straight and have your head at the same height as where your elbow are suppposed to be, not your fat head. Im pretty sure doing it like Todd does it, im fairly certain he could just take a chair and sit on even on his side with his straight arm relaxing relying on joints and ligaments etc to hold the opponent back until they are so tired of trying to break his arm when what they should only work for is putting that arm down on that pad. Instead they are glorifying the possibility of bending, snapping someones arm the wrong way is impossible with side presssure, and that Todd is why you get so much fucking hate about it.
I know what you're saying, but a key point is that Monster's arm WILL NOT extend 100% straight. And that's the REAL reason King's Move is used: After so many years training and pulling in the arm wrestling positions, they get the "wonky arm," and a very limited range of motion. The fact that their arm won't straighten is used as an advantage.
Michael "Under the table" Todd.
So in the Queen's move you have to brake your opponents arm under the tables to pin him!?!?
@@truthteller007 kinda I guess or lift his whole bodyweight with using his elbow on the table as a leverage point
“Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the King’s Move effectiveness!”
Yea, so is also tying a 300lb rock to a chain and strapping it to the opponent’s hand…that will be effective too! But good luck growing the sport and getting fans to watch it!
King's Move matches have been the most watched recently, and the controversy is blowing WAL up in views and popularity.
@@fistoftulkas7335 I don't know if I agree.
People LOVED Devon vs. Bortolato...it was such a fresh air to watch because there were so many techniques!
People watch the "King's Move" matches because they want to see Todd lose! Once he loses nobody will be interested in seeing another under-the-table arm wrestler unless to also watch him lose! It's not good publicity for WAL.
They will get their 15 minutes of fame with the King's Move, but eventually got to listen to what the fans are complaining about.
Except that's not how anatomy works. No one is able to support their entire weight solely on the leverage of ONE elbow at an unnatural angle. Not even Olympics-level gymnasts that focus on rings can do that. To defeat the king's move is NOT about attacking your opponent's elbow, but their WRIST. Even if you are 600lb but your wrist is shit, good luck pulling off king's move.
I'm amazed that certain people still believe the "bone-lock" nonsense, not only these armwrestlers using the King's Move are supposedly able to hold their weight on their elbow's joint, but they can also hold the pressure of their opponents, ridiculous.
@@fistoftulkas7335 people watch under the table cuz its funny.
I love the respect level between these guys!
I want to see this rematch. Like now.
I honestly don't. There would be no surprise we've already seen what we could have see. Have to wait at list 6 months so they can evolve to something else
Lmfao. Why. .. if you dont know what will happen... go watch a couple more videos. Not even a competition. . . I smell dad move coming
@@Psalm_107.31 That's exactly what I mean :) Give devon 6 more months... Grandpa move incoming x)
Devon will crush Todd right now.
Devon's body is adjusting top his weight gain over time. He's getting stronger. Don't forget that
This is the reason why you will never see Michael Todd pull in the International Circuit:
"The WAF, in an attempt to limit the King's Move body position, has placed a rule in effect that makes it illegal to drop the competition shoulder (i.e. the shoulder of the arm that is wrestling) below the table (rule 8.1.6)."
MT said that in WAF if your shoulder drops the ref just keeps telling you to stand back up, no foul
Todd still doesn't deserve the victory. Cheating move, todd 'the cheater'. How the f.ck can u think to pull 120 kilos down With one freaking arm? Wake up guys
Michael Todd has competed several times in PAL which has WAF reffing and he beat the likes of Pushkar and Trubin there.. he done well.
@@cristopherpari391 I would say Devon is actually more of a "cheater" if you wanna call it that. He plays very dirty, which is not something MMT does. I am talking about things such as pressing down on Dave's thumb between pulls while they are still in the strap.
@@TimmyTurner421 yes as much as people love to hate MT, and I was one of them, he is a very badass arm wrestler. Still doesnt mean I like him but I respect him
OMG... King's move tutorial - worst that could happen with armwrestling

Two men holding hands for 17 minutes was never more macho. Great breakdown guys.
lol never thought about it like that
I think they got lost in the conversation. lol
I disagree. The manliest handshake in history is the most macho handholding men have ever done. Incase you don't catch my meaning watch "The Predator"
Get Travis back.
As armwrestler, referee or announcer/commentator.
Or as all of the above.
I second, all of the above
👍
Travis is the man 💯
Travis real arm wrestler
Travis should be in WAL doing something, even if its commentating / ring announcing / refereeing, entertainment value is off the charts with that man.

Theres a difference between the king's move and Todd's version of the "kings move" where your elbows comes off the pads and you completely straighten your arms and pull backwards with a straight arm.
King's move is hype because it's awesome to watch it get beat. Im good as long as they watch the elbow and shoulders are above the table.
Exactly, as long as rules apply and are followed - go for it! I love seeing people develop or adapt techniques to overcome a disadvantage :D
shut the fuck up devon nuthugger, kingsmove is cheating devon and todd the clowns of armwresling.

Great video. Completely changed my mind about Michael and the Kings move. You guys are truly masters of the sport.
Devon explaining King's move
Micheal's mind : Write that down .. Write that down
Todd can't read or write
Devons detailed breakdown of techniques are unparalleled💪🏼
I personally dont like the kings move...cuz some actually leave there elbow off the pad and referees tend to make mistakes.
Im not an armwrestling expert but as far as I could see thats pretty much how Michael Todd has won a lot of tournaments. Lots of illegal elbow movement and pulling away from the table while locking his arm straight out. I do notice the refs seem to be really bad in this sport sometimes.
A lot of fans think there elbow if off. But you have a inside elbow that they don`t even think about
@@waawaaweewaa2045 Honestly most of the time these "fans" see an illegal elbow fouls, it's actually not an elbow foul. Elbow isn't just the pointy end. It goes partly into your forearm and your triceps. So when you see someone puts their tricep or forearm on the pad, it could still be legal.
@@CossyMango To me it doesnt make any sense that someone would be allowed to lay their forearm on the pad and pull back. You're basically making your opponent carry all of your body weight while using far less of your own strength.
I think that pulling back should possibly be llegal, and im not sure if it is in the current wal rules.
Larratt is an important asset for the sport. He is the reason most people want to watch. Even when he looses a match which is rare, he still wins.
Man this video is great I wish they could do some more of them. Neil nicely done mate. 💪🏆
Kings Move should be called the Jester Move.
My vote is "Dick Move" or "Bitch Move".
@@RageDaug It's really a suicide move because once you're committed, its a great way to get your arm broken. There's nothing "bitch" about that.
It is a bitch move nonetheless. Your arm will broke only if the opponent have the strength to do so, which, at this level, is not happening quite often.
It’s a boring defensive move. Their triceps are on the damn mat. It’s a disgrace
No,not when referring is good look at the russian tournaments
PAL refs it perfectly
WAL allows fouls for entertainment
There's nothing disgraceful about it, rather its an intelligent way to attack your opponents where they're weak. If referees are not calling fouls when they are suppose to, then how is that the problem of the person committing the foul?
Don't hate the player, hate the game. Plus, lets not act like arm wrestlers aren't constantly "cheating" during arm wrestling matches and always looking for ways to take advantage of their opponents because in reality its all anyone ever does.
Calling someone "disgraceful" over one single move is the pot calling the kettle black.
Devon also said, that until the rules allow it, you are allowed to use it. He said, by adjusting the pad’s position, it would be harder to do the kings move. But that would result in different usecases, different ideas to “cheat”.
Until someone can’t show how to beat the kings move easily, or they change rules or the referrees goes after it, it will stay.
I would be more interested in some drugtesting involved with these matches... Just look at what happend with ufc before and after the drugtesting.
Disgrace how?
@@1neomonkey "Im allowed to cheat as long as nobody finds out" is what you're saying there by putting all the blame on the refs. It's so unsportman like and disrespectful to do, but you're definitely right it's what most armwrestlers do all the time and it's sad.
Watched video ..never saw when they defined king’s move . Will watch again ..
Thanks for explaination. 👏🏻 There certainly is happening more than meets the eye.
Gems. I appreciate these in-depth explanations of the technique 💪
Glad you like it, we make these videos for you guys!
@@WorldArmwrestlingLeague You guys should do more of these for other techniques with the people that have perfected the technique they use.
@@TheMicroman23 Coming up. We have some more dropping this year.
@pabnaful lmao yeah exactly
@@WorldArmwrestlingLeague You should ban these stupid moves and stop acting like people are going to accept it at some point.
Traditional arm wrestling is without straps.
The straps purpose is to prevent slipping, not to gain an advantage.
There's no one in this world who understands armwrestling better than Devon. The minute details he have in technical aspects is astonishing 🙌. Can't stop loving this guy❤
just ban it guys
@4 inch Cawk he doesn't use it a lot. only against people who he think is stronger than him like Chaffe
Yes plz.. Feels very unsportsmanlike..
Stoyan Terziyski if you wanna ban it, then tell me the fine line between a toproll and kings move. They’re both outside techniques with pronation and drag. What about posting toproll? Open toproll? Open/ hook kings? Floppy wrist press? Hell they should just ban all techniques would thay make u happy?
This was so amazing to watch because I learned so much omg thank you so much the 3 of you
Thank you for both best WAL ever guys for doing this video!!! LOOOOOOVE IT AND YOU TOO FOR THIS!!!!RESPECT!!!
Take away Kings move , Todd isn’t the world champion. That’s it
Ok. Point?
Agreed
That's like saying "take away kicks from a kickboxing tournament and buakaw is not the world champion anymore".
Aaron Adams tell me the fine line between kings move and a top roll. Both are pronating and dropping and dragging. So that means take away toproll? What about posting toproll? Hooking kings? Floppy press? Hell let’s just get rid of all styles in arm wrestling. Wouldn’t that be great?
Jerry Wen yeah it would be
Explain it all you want. It's a joke.
I think having a longer wrist and expecting his oppoents to sit there and accept defeat because one man never stopped growing is a joke. He found a legal move to beat him show some respect.
Two warriors with so much respect for each other they apologise for interruptions. Love both these guys.!!!
Great video gentlemen. Keep growing the sport! You are the OGs!
Devon looks way bigger than Todd compared to last year. Can't wait to watch him beat him

Such a great video! I’m going to have to rewatch to remember all the knowledge that was given 💪🏼💪🏼
There are so many things to love about Devon Larratt, one of them. He seem to have found something to do that gives meaning after war.
Love these guys man, very educational talk!
Devon is the greatest Canadian athlete since GSP
@Braddock Grundy No one knew who this "mofo" was until way after GSP was already a champion and the goat, duh.
@Braddock Grundy And? That doesn't change the fact of the original post.. way over your head, duh.
Braddock Grundy because gsp was beating top guys since the beginning...larat was not beating anyone of significance 15 years ago lol
GSP is the goat Devon is not
Braddock Grundy sadly your off by 4 years...4 years before that he was nothing
I'm sure these two are extremely competitive and it's hard to do this without feeling like you're giving something away. It's very impressive that they're both willing to share what they know, and actually heart warming to know that one day, like Ali and Frazier, they can look back and be close friends, realizing that they made one another better, and in all the world they form an elite group. Respect to both men!
These guys have been good friends for well over a decade man.
Michael "in the shadow" Todd 😂
Under the table Todd lol
thanks for the vid
I can't wait till next season already its going to be epic . The rematch between these two, it's going to be one of the biggest armwrestling matches of all time . WAL is going off the scale next season 💪💪
You betcha brother!!!
Epic for 2nd division armwrestling. Levan, Vitaly, Denis and a few others would embarrass both these also rans as Denis has already shown against Devon.
3-0 devon
3Vimages That was left handed. Denis never looked unbeatable right handed. Extremely strong, yeah, but there were guys who beat him right handed and some that gave him a lot of trouble. Left handed yeah, Denis was unbeatable for a short while.
Thinking the Russian guys will make fools of the Americans though is stupid. These guys are all around the same level.
Kyle? Oh Ok he is not Russian but do you really think Devon could stand with Levan or even Vitaly Lalekin with either hand? No chance. Tim Bresnan was beaten comprehensively in the Top 8 tournament...... I can't see Devon doing any better. Levan is just a monster coming into his prime ...... he could become totally unbeatable.
It's not the kings move itself, it's when the tricep is on the pad and not the elbow, and/or shoulder is below the table
I don't like it when Devon does the Kings Move either, but I'll give him credit that's it's not nearly as dumb as Todd's. Todd is under the table with tricep on the pad with his arm fully extended. The only way to pin him is the break his elbow or lift his entire body up.
I'd like to see the rule changed to no part of the chest can be below the top of the table.
This was the first arm wrestling video that I’ve watched and got me hooked ever since. I still to this day got no clue why it was recommended to me as I’m not even into any kind of sports, but I’m glad though.
It's more or less a leveraged bone lock to rest and wait. Similar to letting the barbell rest on your chest when bench pressing which makes it easier
The best technique really! If more arm wrestlers do this I'd stop watching
Agree
X3
Maybe that's what needs to happen, that everyone starts doing it.
Im sorry. To me thats just cheating and not what I consider to be real arm wrestling
Singling out the King's move as cheating is really like the pot calling the kettle black. Especially in a sport where everyone is constantly trying to cheat and all the time.
it's okay if you are an egoistic person and don't wanna adapt or become stronger it's totally fine #NoOffence #StayStrong #Peace
@@budhhansda1183 yea that bitch move makes u for sure stronger, kappa

How many female armwrestlers have you seen do that move? It's as manly as it comes.
@@haagenneldeberg6787 Its fricking gay as hell not manly. Manly is when you win by pulling your opponent with superior strenght. Like Saginashvili or Tsyplenkov do.
Jere Anttila It's so gay to be outraged about an armwrestling move.
@@vaderetro264 Im not outraged im unpleased with it. Michal Todd would lose so much if he didnt use that. And he did lost to better armwrestlers like Tsyplenkov and Trubin.
Jere Anttila Of course he would lose, he has a ridiculously limited arm range due to the many injuries. But anyone will perform badly if they rely on their weaknesses. You've got to fight with your best weapons...
14:05 poor Dude s hand is destroyed by devon but he's acting as if he wasn't feeling it
No I was fine mate, trust me 😉
Inside info for ya 😉🤙my Hand, Arm, Back, Neck....TITS n TEETH were ruined but nothin to do with Devon.....I actually caught 100 White Sturgeon between 6 & 9 feet long over the four days before this was filmed out in B.C. Canada 🇨🇦 😂🤣😂
Neil Pickup’s - SuperNatural Strength Official there’s no shame mate. No need for excuses.
Bleeding the opponents arm it really works I love it
5:10 Or you could just ask the King's mover, "Where you going, buddy?"
If the shoulder of the competing arm dips below the table, call a foul.
Devon always supports Todd, but Todd always hates on Devon
"Kings Move" should be eliminated. Period.
@Fluke You are probably correct
FUXK THE DONGS MOVE.
More rules are never better. Step yo game up.
As long as the tip of the elbow stays down when in a defensive position I dont see a problem. Elbow comes up it should be called as it would in a standard position.
Only pussies think that
But the question never asked was how can you pin down a straight arm? I don't like the move but how is it allowed to have your arm straighten out and not counted as a loss even if it doesn't go to the pin mark (because the guy is under the table & impossible to pin his hand without breaking his arm)?
If you can't, you suck.
Why there is no rule that your shoulder has to be higher than elbow? Then the king's move would be ok, otherwise it is horseshit.
That's the good point
Devon is the Damn man👍🏻
2020 both arm champion by Devon
Are you joking???? Have you not seen Denis, Levan, Vitaly, etc.? They would play with Devon like they just did to Rim Bresnan.
@@3vimages471 WAL champ buddy. Couple other things- Tim is not on Devon's level. Devon would do extremely well in Europe, especially with Dennis gone. Very few people in arm wrestling history have been as good as Devon on both arms. He 100% would be the lefty champ in the WAL, and I believe he can beat Todd on the right.
@@3vimages471 Denis was-int a good indicater since he almost killed himself
The best thing about arm wrestling is, the competitors just love the sport. They’re open about their techniques and just want to make each other better. What other sports do opponents compare notes? Such a pure sport!
I like how Devon is so purposeful. He had heard enough times about how it wasn't a pretty move and then near the end a comment about how it might not be as technical (which made no sense). Devon didn't get into argument, but he explained his thinking about why it's such a good move. Brilliant.
