In the world of arm wrestling, legends are created at kitchen tables and backyard barbecues. resident Jason Gulleyāwhose grip is as strong as his ambitionālaunched āNever Been Beatā as a rallying cry to the champions who have ruled their circles without tasting defeat.
Gulley is working on a documentary, to be called Never Been Beat, about arm wrestlers across the country who have never been defeated in a match.
āI am looking for blue-collar, country, hard-working men who have beaten all their friends at arm wrestling,ā Gulley said. āI would like them to reach out to me to be a part of this.ā
For the documentary concept, comedians Tom Mabe and Reno Collier are going to interview these strongmen who have never been beaten in arm wrestling to find out their stories, similar to the way the show American Pickers goes around the country looking for antiques, Gulley said.
āI am looking for tradesmen with unheard-of strength, who have arm-wrestled their buddies and always win,ā he continued. āIām not looking for professional arm wrestlers. Iām looking for people who have never been beat in arm wrestling with their friends.ā
Often, these are unassuming, quiet guysāthese are the ones about whom Gulley is intrigued, hoping to learn their stories.
āIāve always been very interested in blue-collar, hard-working men who work with the strength of their hands,ā Gulley said. āI wasnāt so much interested in the aesthetics, like body builders. I was just taken away by terms that were relevant to that kind of ācountry strongā arm strengthāthe type of hand stability that these men have.ā
So he is putting out a call to find these guys, and wants to tell their stories.
āOften, that guy is a master craftsman too, who is so specific and precise in his work,ā Gulley added.
Gulley asks those featured in the documentary to join him in his effort to raise funds to be donated to A Soldier's Child Foundation. Gulley has a partnership with the nonprofit organization, run by Darrell Mankin, which serves children of fallen servicemen and women from all U.S. military branches.
