Hulk Hogan and Toronto mayor Rob Ford kicked off the annual Fan Expo with a one-time arm wrestling event that got both fans of the wrestler and the media psyched. You can see it in the video above.

Hogan strolled in in his trademark shirt and bandana combo, while Ford opted for a more dramatic entrance, in full business suit, to “Eye of the Tiger.”

Before sitting down for the match, he made sure he removed his jacket and tie, and made himself more comfortable by untucking his shirt.

“Big man, oh, that's all you got?” Hogan taunted him during the match.

“Not only am I going to rip this arm off, I'm going to take your job while I'm at it, brother. Mayor Hogan,” he continued.

To the surprise of the audience no one, Ford beat him. Hogan went on to joke that this had been a “set up” and that the only reason he was beaten was because Ford was younger.
