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.

Re: Pulling John
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.

Re: Pulling John
One of my favorite documentaries. I probably watch it at least twice a year.
Re: Pulling John
They just showed "Over the top" on swedish tv.Hadn`t seen it in over 20 years and it wasn`t to bad.
