Default Game of Arms

This is some quality Reality-TV programming on AMC.

It's dramatized Arm-Wrestling. Five different cities are represented. New York City, Sacramento, Kansas City, Erie, and Baton Rouge. Each city has a five-man team. Each episode puts one team up against each other.

The Erie team will almost certainly win this. They have the super heavyweight world champion left-handed, and right-handed. They beat the Northern California team 4-1 in their first outing, and the Northern Cal team beat New York City in an earlier episode.

Kansas City might be the only remote threat to Erie.

We have a pretty notorious club on the Lower Eastside of Erie called the Lower Eastside Federation. The LEF are basically a bunch of juice monkey Nazi's. They specialize in stuff like street fighting and arm wrestling.

When my father owned a bar on the Eastside in the 1980's, he would bride the LEF by sponsoring their events with prize money, under the conditions that none of their members would ever come into his bar.

The LEF isn't quite as notorious as it once was, but they did basically invent arm-wrestling in Erie.

Here's a profile of our wonderful team: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nohJDAA110E

The Polocks from Erie are starting to take over Reality TV.

He's as Polish as it gets and so are some of our prestigious Arm wrestling goons.
