Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen has been working for years to try and get people interested in a revival of the World Octopus Wrestling Championships. He watched it on TV as a child and vowed to grow up and win the championship. He feels that he has always been denied his most fervently held dream and, despite his massive wealth, has always felt like a failure. While no one has committed to his idea of a revived championship, he practices his skills every weekend without fail. The largest octopus that he has wrestled so far was 55 lbs. He maintains a 50,000 gallon sea water tank to keep octopuses for training purposes.
