ENDING A STRONGMAN CAREER AND BUILDING ON A LEGACY FT. EDDIE HALL 

To be fair to Eddie and WHY he has that sort of attitude... he was an amazing, olympic-level swimmer, then he went into strongman and won WSM in 2017. Dude is taking the scenic route on riding his high horse. 😆

That's what made it even more sweet to watch him get his ass kicked

@@PersononYT56 did we watch the same boxing match? Hapthor won because of technique. Not because he kicked Eddie's ass. 😂 they got an equal number of hits in.Thor did very well, trained well. Hes still a whiny william who cried foul in 2017. 😂

@@MistahBufo Thor won the boxing match. He won it EASY scoring two knockdowns, Eddies face looked like a slapped arse afterwards. It was hilarious, and massive disparity in skill, stamina, athletiscism and technique (the four main things of boxing). Eddie Hall fans : THOR ONLY WON COS OF TECHNIQUE!!!!! HE DIDNT KICK EDDIES ASS!!!! Unreal :D Oh and the Stoltmans already said that Eddie cheated with Bryce in 2017 in order to win. It was secretly recorded, and the conversation has been online for over a year. It's been proven. Bryce was forced to resign over it. Guess Thor wasn't *crying* so much as *exposing* huh?

@@TheVanillatech can you do me a favor and re-google this entire thing? Colin bryce didnt resign, you're thinking of Mark Boyd, who was removed from the WSM organizations for pushing this very conspiracy theory. Luke went on to elaborate on the audio, saying the audio is from 2021, and is about giants live competitions, NOT wsm, because seedings for WSM are determined by the competitors placement in giants lives shows. Honestly, this is old news. Not sure why you're attempting to have a gotcha moment on this hill. Lol.

And because Arnold was dick

Never a truer word, a champions champ.

Both of these men have done wonders for the sport of strongman. I pray for continued health and happiness for the both of them and their families.

@@cp37373 Who are you referring to? I'm asking for someone else.

Absolutely! As someone big and strong myself (usually one of the strongest at any gym I go to), I can say: these guys are head, shoulder, waist, and knees above me. The strength they have is absurd.

Seeing Brian in person for the first time at the Shaw classic was insane. They are all giants

they wouldnt be where they are if they were big, and stupid. big and stupid might win a contest, but it takes some intelligence to turn being big and strong into something lucrative.

agreed

That is why I have a script for Eddie to read.

Even you don’t believe that. You’re being silly.

@@misterc5783I believe he does. I haven’t watched a movie in 3 years. I watch almost all of Brian and Eddie’s RU-vid videos.

​@@misterc5783you got the point though right?...or maybe you're to dumb

I feel the same way, as a lot of people do, but I completely understand why WSM went in that direction. Annoyingly, it's always going to be a TV show first and a sport second, and that means turning every event into a running-race so they can have plenty of 'close-call separated-by-a-split-second' photo-finishes. How many times have we heard Neil Pickup tell us how 'these guys are actually RUNNING with four-HUNDRED kilos' at every Giants Live show he's ever done? There's also the problem that making the events heavy poses a massively-increased risk of injury, as we saw in 2019, having multiple athletes out of competition for years on end to rehab hamstring tears isn't good for business. As much as the entertainment aspect of strongman is 'good for the sport', it would be nice if we had a strongman-equivalent to an IPF meet. No drama, no theatrics, just a herd of absolute meat-machines taking it in turns to load a 300kg Atlas Stone in a silent white room.

@GODOFHELLFIRE3 yep completely agree with everything you said, i do get it and shit i mean at this point the Shaw Classic could be exactly that one event a year and designed to be heavy as shit to give us what we want to see without much of the other "bullshit" that comes with it. Alot of the athletes have said that its the one event where they are being put first before everything else like it should be which is great as their input will be heavily taken into consideration

Although i agree in principal if you look back through the history of WSM its always had a lot of movement events, i think its good we have different competitions with slightly different styles, i think its more interesting to have the range.

I’ve said the same thing, we want to see the crazy static strength feats that require them to be these behemoths, not the glorified CrossFit events.

Finding the golden mean between crossfit and powerlifting

I was there as well. Incredible competition, agreed.

I second this would be tv gold

Well they do have kids to raise :P

I would love to watch a tv show with them two but they live to much apart from each other unfortunatly and they both have kids to raise so i can understand that they will share more time with there family even though more content from them together would be so good and so funny 😊

Eddie has a newborn , it ain’t happening

i dont think they are set for life, brian has companies ( and people working for him), which require investment/lots of spending to keep going. eddie does not have a company but his lifestyle is somewhat exuberant, which is also high spending. if they both did absolutely nothing they sure could last for a bit, but i think the cash would run out within a sensible about of time.

Yes! I want nothing more than to see brian train and dominate in arm wrestling

@@beanrefraction9530 he really could be such a dominant arm wrestler. Look at Todd Hutchings he started I think at 38 years old and he’s one of the best in the world right now at 53 lol if Brian wants to keep competing in a professional sport armwrestling would be his thing.

If I was running a strongman comp, I'd have events like 'carrying a wardrobe up a flight of stairs'. 'Overhead-pressing a medium-sized concrete-mixer'. 'Rolling a boulder up the side of a mountain like the labours of Sisyphus'. Would these events pose an absolutely insane risk of injury? Without a doubt. Would they be sick as hell to watch? Yes!

@@GODOFHELLFIRE3 fr tho strongman needs something like fridge carrying and like a car push

@@tankbg1311 Bring! (clap) Back! (clap) Odd! (clap) Objects!

They have wives & children

Do all the "strong man" challenges of every culture. Would be awesome.

We’ll the chest press was a timed event also not just about the reps, so I’m sure they didn’t want to go to much slower…

Time was obviously the lowest priority, so why spare it when reps get the points?
