Red Deer Arm Wrestling Club hosting qualifying tournament in Innisfail
The World Arm Wrestling League is hosting a big tournament in Innisfail on Saturday.
All the arm-bending action will be at The Zoo on 49 Street where there will be a men’s amateur class, men’s pro class, women’s open pro class and open calls for both the men’s and women’s right and left hands.
Tournament Director Matt Mask of Red Deer has been a professional arm wrestler for the past 18 years and describes it as a local qualifying event.
“There’s six major episodes that they’re putting on this year that are going to be aired through BR Live and Turner Productions,” explains Mask. “These local tournaments that they’re putting on, there’s going to be 11 of them throughout North America, ten of them in the States and one of them in Canada which is the one that I’m going to be putting on here in Innisfail. They’re using that as a scouting tool for an upcoming T.V. series on potential talent that they’re going to be bringing up into the big leagues.”
