 * Keep I laughed, almost !voted to delete but chose to do a search first. This thing looks notable.  Perhaps notable for worst idea ever, but...  is an article solely on the topic (well I can't see it all, but it is titled "GIVE A HAND TO THE GUY WHO REVOLUTIONIZED THUMB WRESTLING" and includes the quote "Say hello to Rick Hartman a former schoolteacher who is the creator of the Officially Sanctioned Professional Thumb Wrestling Ring".   discusses a competition which appears to use this thing and  also seems to be solely about this thing.  There are a lot more  (though not all are about this thing).  Oh,  apparently has at least a passing mention. Hobit (talk) 01:42, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge into Thumb wrestling as this is a piece of equipment for that sport. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:50, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete somehow I seem to remember these existing before 2005, possibly even giong back to the 80s, but it's possible I could be wrong about that. Anyway, delete per Erpert, minor toy that didn't take off or become culturally significant in any way. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:45, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1 the supplied sources put it from at least the 90s. #2 Is there a policy-based reason to delete, or is this more an IAR thing (which I fully respect btw)? Hobit (talk) 22:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
