Lincoln is a simple man, not the brightest, not the richest, but he's all heart. He is Rocky without Adrian so to speak. Lincoln is a trucker, while on the road all the time he still finds time to train for his sport of passion; arm wrestling. With a truly unique cable system in the cab of his big rig he maintains a strength building workout routine. When Lincoln learns that his own father wants sole custody of his son Michael the boxing gloves come off. Lincoln decides for once in his life its his time to make up for his times as a bad father and get the resources necessary to be able to take care of his son. Like a true legend, Lincoln enters a prestiduous armwrestling contest. The prize is a new big rig. In his final arm wrestling match, Lincoln cries as blood drips from his nose while he struggles with all his has to try to defeat Bob Hurley an undefeated champion whom he defeats in a most impossible manner.

This bratty kid is meant to be the center piece of the storyline from Over the Top since it is Lincoln's desire to be with his son that drives him to compete in the arm wrestling content to try to win its prize so that he will be able to win custody. In reality this kid is a whinning brat that spouts off Lincoln's memorable lines about victory at the least opportune times.

This is the current five time undefeated armwrestling champion in the film. He is famous for his tough guy talk and his quick powerful moves that pin his opponents. In his final match with Lincoln Hawks, Bob headbutts and draws blood from his opponent while screaming "I Own you." Bob ultimately loses and Lincoln Hawks becomes champion. Rick Zumwalt who portrayed "Bull" Hurley was a real world armwrestling champion. See links for more info on him.
