Two thumbs up at this event BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jon “The Average John Cena” Lopata took down Gary Atherholt in the firstround of the BURLY Brewing ThumbleMania tournament April 6 in a back-andforth bout lasting a grueling 90 seconds. Lopata’s secret? Make his opponent

laugh to throw him off guard. “It really helps with thumb wrestling because it is such a serious sport. I like to throw them off with laughs or jokes, maybe, or just looking at them weird.” A steady diet of beer and food truck food, Lopata said, was crucial for staying in shape for the event — even if he didn’t come there to be reluctantly

called into the ring. The weekend of WrestleMania 35, the annual WWE professional wrestling event, BURLY Brewing Co. in Castle Rock had its own fun with a championship belt awarded to the top thumb-wrestler to step to the stage. The winner, Brian Eck, received a customdesigned championship belt.
