Tonight it was an experience on ESPN2. Little did I know that the leading sports channels on TV were short on programming for the next couple of days. Seriously, it's an All-Star weekend in the NBA plus plenty of college games & controversies to follow. While flipping in between college & NBA basketball I see two 30 minute slots of Professional Arm Wrestling competition. I had no idea this "sport" had been going on for longer than I've been alive. Although, I cannot see this going mainstream or being an Olympic sport anytime soon. Other countries also compete in this PAC sport. Funny...they have a heavyweight class along with the lower weight class, two referees, a special table, and of course their own fan base.

Professional Arm Wrestling, What!
