True to its tradition, the USAA National Pro-Am Armwrestling Championships is drawing the top names in the sport, and this year, USAA president Denise Wattles said, John and Bill Brzenk, and Cobra Rhodes, will be among the competitors going after the $12,000 in cash and prizes.

This is also the first qualifier for the 2006 Arnold, more than enough incentive in itself to be a part of the action.

The action starts tomorrow at the Tahoe Biltmore Lodge and Casino in Crystal Bay, Nevada, and admission is free.
