And there will be plenty of North American based talent too, with the likes of Tamara Mitts, Devon Bair, Simon Berriochoa, Gene Dunn, Vern Martel, Cobra Rhodes, Mike McGraw, Bob Brown, John & Bill Brzenk, Chad Silvers, Kenny Hughes, Travis Bagent, Ron Bath, Michael Todd and Brian Brandon set to pull.

The 2006 Arnold is March 3 - 5 and tickets are available through Ticketmaster, on the internet or by phone at 614-431-3600.
