Arm Wrestling Match Between Pro-Rugby Players Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong

An Australian rugby show hosted an "Iron Arm Wrestling" challenge and its finalists took their elbows to the table Thursday. Unfortunately for one, the match ended with more than just a bit of wounded pride.

Former National Rugby League players Wendell "Big Dell" Sailor and Ben Ross had just started to flex their muscles against each other when Ross crumbled, his elbow snapping with a cringe-worthy sound.

The Footy Show tweeted shortly after the incident that Ross was on his way to the hospital.

Ben's on his way to hospital and is in good spirits. #NRLFootyShow

It is not officially known at this point what was injured or the extent of the damage.

This isn't the first time we've seen an arm wrestling match go horribly wrong either. One a few years ago involved two women testing their strength.
