Game of Arms is an American television series that debuted February 25, 2014, on AMC.[1] The series is a reality television show about American competitive arm wrestlers.[2][3] The series follows arm wrestling clubs in Erie, Pennsylvania; Kansas City, Missouri; New York City; Sacramento, California, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Prior to its broadcast, the series was initially known as King of Arms.[4]

On September 11, 2014, AMC renewed the series for a second season.[5] However it canceled the series a month later in mid-production as part of the network ending nearly all their reality series and refocusing completely on fictional dramas for their original series output.[6]
