Jón Páll vs Capes: 1984 Part 2/2 (Slay Push, Arm Wrestling)

[coulthard1984]

capes is a legend

[robben896]

look at that power in the end

[hotbigmuscle]

6:49 que biceps del tipo de amarillo

[Feon2]

They are pure strenght, but they had no techinique at armwrestling at all. Besides Poulin, and maybe Capes and Sigmarsson

[Databamse]

It would have been fun to see magnus samuelsson (Former european arm wrestling champion and worlds strongest man in 1998) wrestle jon pall. Magnus have never lost a wrestle.

[Feon2]

@Databamse Jon Pàll was very powerfull, but I think Magnus would defeat him.

[sviti88]

JON PALL LEGEND !!!

[IronMike425]

That's too bad about your uncle tootall. I saw this event many years ago and it was one of the reasons I got into competitve armwrestling. The way Daniel Poulin toyed with a guy who seemed to be in better shape. It always stuck with me. I remember it well. I actually think of it sometimes. I never knew your uncle but in a way, he inspired me too. I'm sorry to hear that he passed away. .. "You and I take a match?" .. "No." .."Why?" .. "He gives up. You win." .. That was classic.

[TooTallSimon]

The canadian in this clip is my uncle. He was married to my sister's mother. By the time he did this, he was a bit lighter than i can remember him. He was armwresling and wheelbarrow champion in Canada..He died about 2 years ago....Such a sensible and honest person....He is such a hero to me.He is one of my true inspiration.One thing you don't see in this clip is my uncle talking to Sigmarsson...''You and I take a match...'' with a french accent....and Sig said ''No..'' Daniel won....

[CataniaD6Kfan]

J'ai parlé à son gars tantôt, apparament ça en était un esti de bon.

[TooTallSimon]

Ah oui...Il avait fait une présentation lors d'une compétition nationale ou l'on retrouvait des gars de toutes les provinces dont McGee qui etait là ....Un genre de l'homme le plus fort du Canada mais je ne retrouve plus la video que j'avais chez moi... Content de voir qu'il y a du monde qui se passionne pour ces compétions des hommes forts...surtout de cette époque la avec les plus grands de l'histoire ...

[CataniaD6Kfan]

Bah, honnêtement je me passionne pas pour ça, j'suis allé sur une job pis Max était là, y s'occupait de la surveillance.

[lift2live1]

oh excellent le parler canadien cousin !!!

[FFNinjascroll]

I would give anything to see jon pall armwrestle magnus samuelsson. It would be epic. Imagine the look of defeat on the won who lost. EPIC

[woclaz]

that guy arm wrestl9ng sounded like a jabawaki!

[SFSomega]

Sigmarsson was a natural BEAST!

[oligri91]

Armwrestling's both about strengh, endurance and specialy technique. If you combine theese three assets then you will get very far indeed :).

[brewsterbum]

i truly and honestly believe i could beat both these at this.

[Fixileid]

Are you sure??

[Bemani420]

I've meet that "Familiar Local Character" before.

Great guy when you get to know him

[jakehigley]

The King Has Lost His Crown!

[pattiponk]

go jon pall !! funny when one guy allways screamed while arm wrestling :P but arm wrestling is not about strength .

[V1sualB1nary]

Lol they have no idea how to arm wrestle, the technique is terrible.

[moneybody1]

I never knew Jon Pall was that tall! He looks like he is at least, if not a bit taller, than Geoff who I know is 6'7"

[moneybody1]

Correction...Just read his book, Geoff is 6'5"

[mrtvman]

they shoud bring arm wrestling back to world strongest man

[moneybody1]

I believe it was removed after magnus broke nathan jones' arm in 97/98?

[skruf1]

arm wrestling is teqnique, not strenght

[mrtvman]

its still fun to watch and see who wins

[steve12168]

Wrong its teqnique AND strength

[masterlech]

you can't help but watch jon pall and particularly his trademark victory celebrations and wonder just how pumped up he was. He certainly paid a heavy price. I don't follow the argument at all that they were all on steroids. Is there an interview with Geoff Capes about the issue somewhere?

[cabster21]

I suspect many of them did. I mean, this was pre 1990, when steroids became illegal. These guys would have been training for many years, when steroid compounds were more of just a supplement. So they were not breaking any rules. I'm not taking anything away from them. Just it was different back then.

[Beyondward]

you hear that? he's saying go YNGWIE, YNGWIE! i believe it means young viking chief!

[skruf1]

hahah! the sound is so funny^^ haha

[vymmas]

'The king has lost his crown!' hahaha. I remember that.

[Bigbluered]

who won all the arm wrestling in the end????

[agusts]

Jón Páll gave away the final battle before it began. He had already won the title by a longshot. So Daniel Poulin from Canada won the arm wrestling

[gunnbjorn]

THe  King, Jón páll
