Keeping You On Your Toes

Have you ever heard of toe wrestling? Toe wrestling was created in 1974 by four drinking buddies in England because they wanted a sport that England could be World Champions of. Their logic was if it was a new sport they could be the first champions. The plan worked until 1976 when a Canadian visitor took the Toe Wrestling title. Toe wrestling is similar to arm wrestling or the childhood sport of thumb wrestling,players take off their shoes and socks and link big toes with their foot flat together with their opponents foot. The object is to pin the opponents toe. It sounds easy enough but I also read that it has resulted in broken toes,I can't imagine anyone having a big toe that strong but maybe I'm missing something?
