Eric Bolling Challenges Fox News Host Jesse Watters to Arm Wrestle: ‘Does That Mean You’re Afraid?’

Newsmax host Eric Bolling challenged Jesse Watters to arm wrestle “anywhere, any place, any time” on Tuesday before suggesting that the Fox News host was too “afraid” to face him.

Bolling – whose Newsmax show The Balance draws far fewer viewers in the same 8 p.m. time slot as Watters’ Fox News show Jesse Watters Primetime – initially challenged his former Fox News colleague to a showdown on Friday.

“Hey Jesse Watters, I will arm wrestle you anywhere, any place, any time,” declared Bolling on his show. “I don’t care what your rules are. I will arm wrestle you, Jesse. So there it is. Jesse Watters, you wanna arm wrestle me?”

After failing to hear back from the Fox News host, Bolling once again challenged Watters on Tuesday, this time accusing his cable news rival of being too “afraid” to take him up on the offer.

“Last week, I challenged Jesse Watters to an arm wrestle contest live on-air,” said Bolling:

Well, guess what folks? I didn’t hear a word from Jesse. Jesse, I didn’t hear. You didn’t take me up on the challenge. Does that mean you’re afraid? I’ll arm wrestle you with my left arm. Anywhere, any place, any time. I’ll take my left arm, you can have your right arm, assuming you’re right-handed. Or we’ll do the other arm.

Bolling – a vocal critic of Fox News since his ousting in 2017 – added, “You don’t wanna see this one, by the way. If I show you this one, you’ll definitely turn me down.”

As of reporting, Watters has not yet responded to Bolling’s challenge.
