What's the point of using "none", unless you enjoy losing all the time.

That isn't Arm wrestling then, its grapple, freestyle, showmanship, basic martial arts, and anything the fighter feels like, obviously without punching, biting or Headbutting.

That's always been the thing with that media type wrestling, it's less strict in the technical department, compared to say Greco-Roman, and more improvised moves and signature moves, and mixing in bits of other disciplines etc etc.

I presume you're talking about a Royal Rumble event, where you get guys coming into the ring at set time periods, and you want to throw Big Show out to eliminate him, in which case should he weigh as much as has been stated, I think you have almost no chance.

You may end up having to clothesline him over the top rope, somehow force him through the first and second, or temporaily daze him and push him out.

Picking up a 440lb guy might be possible, but it would be like carrying those pyramid shaped weights with the handles on, that they have in WSM, you'd almost never get a guy like that over your head, or probably higher off the ground than your waist.
