That is Mike Tatoo in the picture. I can't tell you enough how his heart is bigger than you could possibly imagine. Let me unveil the man behind the ink, regardless if he gets pissed at me. 1. He helps his mom out every day. 2. He rides his Harley out to Montauk every weekend in all four seasons to visit his brother who lives in a home due to a hard life. 3. Mike leads a humble life and works in nursing homes, playing instruments for the elderly and sick hardly getting paid for his visits. 4. Mike stood by my side and trained me for three months before the world Tournament in Petaluma for Arm Wrestilng. He flew down there with me. I won in the super heavy weight division. Here is the final match. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P66dedzh4w
Mike's biggest problem is that he flops his wrist back when he arm wrestles "all" the time...lol
It was great to see Mike
