Do they not understand the entertainment in watching a contest is in knowing placings after events? All we're seeing is guys going at it with no board to see rankings. Where is the excitement in watching a race if you don't know who's ahead or behind.
14:22 Comes all the way from Scotland, England??!! WTF?! Is this guy for real? That's like saying he comes Canada, U.S.A. New commentator needed methinks.
Yeah the presenter really doesn't have the voice or the experience (in strongman) for this job. Not hating though, he tried his best. And he still did a decent job. Plus he had no one with him which would make it even harder. You really need two presenters for a show like this in my opinion! So I think Big Loz and Eddie will be the dream set up. Can't wait to watch it live.
I know I'm late to the game, but came here after Loz's video highlighting Kieliszkowski's performance, amd this commentator was what I imagine a Saturday Live Skit making fun of WSM commentary would sound like!
I'm the real winner! I watched the FULL thing with his full commentary at full volume! 💪🏻 13:28 Putting all of that power through the Concrete 😁 14:22 All the way from Scotland, England 😂 21:34 Nothing but his toes, nothing but the heel of his toe 😄 23:34 But this boy (to Loz) can shift 😁 30:22 This man is a Species 😄 32:52 Fifteen times Latvia's Strongest Man 😂 35:05 JF gives his absolute everything, this guy says he saves a little bit in the tank for the next event 😂 48:19 He's got the Red sleeves, the Red straps, the Red converse 😅 49:36 He's going for the Socks 😂 55:39 He learnt to lift on a family farm, and tell you what, I wish I knew where that farm was 🤣 1:45:15 Six foot Nine Kilos of Humanity. 😂 2:48:55 He will be taking home 75,000 Pounds, if those Pounds were Dollars, he will be taking home 75,000 US Dollars. 🤣 2:49:15 Haaafthoooor Juuuuuulius Bjoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooornsson!

@@ArthurSavage I've been following strongman for years, this was literally the first time I've ever heard it. I'm guessing the dude had a sketchpad with 3 fact "6 foot 8", "over 200 kilos", "gigantor".
@@DutchDread if you follow Brian on Facebook and Instagram you would see that he does call himself that. He usually calls himself it just before big events like wsm or Arnold's.
Yes, he has done it several times. Even when he won 2018 WSM, he was not bothered about the final stone knowing that he already won. He won 2019 ESM with only 3 stones. Didn't even have to load the 4th stone. He is playing smart, retaining energy and not risking for injuries. But when he does all stones, he breaks WRs. For example: 2014 ESM, 2014 WSM, 2016 ESM, 2016 WSM, 2017 ESM to name a few.
Thank you! I cant help myself but thinking this whole Event is kinda better than WSM. I mean, I dont care for the side events like the monks and stuff. But the strongman Events were just cruel and so it has to be. At the WSM I miss the stream, I miss a way to watch it. Thats just really sad. I am looking forward to 2019 WUS and WSM and Arnold Classic. The Big three beside Europes Strongest Man
The background music and the host were driving me friggin insane but other then that it was good to see this stacked line up..i have a headache now from banging drums and guitars..are we at a rock n roll concert or a strongman contest?
I will say this is my favourite set up for the silver dollar deadlift as it looks sick and still allows for a proper range of motion to be shown unlike with the boxes
A light truck pull, a very tough arm over arm, a pretty heavy pressing medley, silver dollar deadlift max, a 1280# super yoke, capped off with a 225kg final atlas stone in the Dubai heat. In one day. Some incredible performances if you can get past some of audio.
The announcer is awful, bad sleepy music, annoying camera man keep getting close to the mic guy without ever showing the sides, fans. It's big waste of strongmen time and effort, I hope next year they bring better announcer not speech giver, also those who suppose to help in car pulling the robe need to keep some slack ,matias suffered because of them... The announcer lack history knowledge of the competition, and may be some one who have normal hair cut not hideous, one last thing name Wus !! Really ? Who wanna be the strongest wus in the world lol
I've seen this guy commentating on sporting events in the UK. He's actually British so how could he possibly say "comes all the way from Scotland, England", how can any British person make that mistake.
Come on guys, some graphics would be nice!!! Especially in the pulling events, how the hell are we supposed to know the times. Makes rooting for a winner impossible! 😠
I have watched this event five times I'm actually watching it right now for the 6th time and I am so bothered and annoyed by the announcer that I decided to get on the internet and leave a comment which is not something that I usually do but I really hope they replace that poor excuse for an announcer. Like somebody's rejected hype man. I hope they use somebody better next time my suggestion would be Bill Kazmaier
@@worldsultimatestrongman1670 heck yea you guys are so awsome. Big Loz and Eddie were such good commentators and the guy on the mic during the events was fantastic. Thank you all so much. Long live WUS!
To people who don't lift 520kg is just a number and the bar with a box on each end doesn't look that heavy but to those who lift in the gym, which would be most people watching this event 510kg, even on a knee height level bar is an inconceivable amount to deadlift, most casual male gymgoers max out near 200kg incl myself so it's more than twice what we can lift off the ground in conventional deadlift. Insane strength!
It takes a lot to have to constantly keep the crowd engaged as an MC. give him some credit for doing it unscripted. I'm sure many of the complainers couldn't do 2 mins. And yes he has each strongman's stats in front of him, so he will repeat stats. Again he's going unscripted and has no one to bounce off of.
WUS should put out an edited version with graphics, and edit out unnecessary commentary. Release a new version of 2018 & 2019 and start building some promotion for this years event. They put on a good show, first class athlete accommodations and compensation. A few issues with the stage but Arnold has had stage issues in the past as well.
Events were great, but the host and the 2 track music was awefull and a really pain. Also the lack of showing number of weights, time and actual highscores. And why the fuck they are polished atlas stones? lol :D :D :D
Damn, this all so fast paced, it’s quite to hard watch. I even noticed that after Brian pulled the truck they started rolling it back whilst he was still clipped in 😂
I have to admit Dubai looks like the new world strongest man they have a amazing set up and from what all the strongman said they treat them better there than anywhere else they have ever competed..Definitely the worst host in the history of any sporting event. That guy should not have a microphone in his hand for the rest of his life. He must be a bosses son or something
Worlds Ultimate Strongman You guys do a amazing job and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the next event. I would prefer they do every event there in Dubai.👍👍
Its all about the money. If that would be poor, nobody would come. WUS looks in some kind Arnold 2.0. Very very heavy weights. Pulling the truck was obviously too much for everbody.
Terry Hollands a world renowned Strongman who can't Logpress 140kg or above if his life depended on it... his technique is so bad, it makes you wonder why he doesn't train that event more, when he is so freaking bad at it....
This competition is going to take over the worlds strongest man. Even Brian Shaw has said so to some degree. Just a shame about the very poor dialogue of this video and cutting in and out. Poor quality video.
..this announcer needs to stop using the word special .maybe epic or gigantic or titanic or crushing or magnitute legendary gravity..stuff like that ...
commentating is a skill not a right. dont roll him out again please its bad enough listening to him on giants live events without his wall to wall not stop waffle all the way through what should be a flagship show. he had had enough chances to improve.
...they need to give us times immediately after each event ..it's almost not worth watching..very annoying. .this announcer sucks..they need to get a past competitor,.felix kazmeir magnus or lalas..
WUS 2019- i hope the commentator doesn't return.
He was awful
Eddie hall and big loz this year should be goood
100% he is shocking. even an intro, a man, behind him a man behind him another man. i got to event one and had to mute it. he totally ruined it.
so true
Over reacting is an understatement from this commentator. Almost ruined it
Do they not understand the entertainment in watching a contest is in knowing placings after events? All we're seeing is guys going at it with no board to see rankings. Where is the excitement in watching a race if you don't know who's ahead or behind.
Really bad host and the background music needs to be turned off
"he will be taking home 75,000 pounds... if those pounds were dollars. He will be taking home 75,000 dollars"
I'm dying lol
I had to mute it to be able to watch
Edit and then I realized there are no stats
Try being at a real competion and not being told what your place is during... that sucks
You guys should re post this with stats weights timers and leaderboards all shown to hype up this year's show
Absolutely going to have that this year thank you :-)
@@worldsultimatestrongman1670 where can I watch the WUS 2019 event and other WUS events ? I've looked everywhere and 2019 is impossible to find .

We can only apologise Azza. We have changed EVERYTHING from last year's lessons learnt. You wont be disappointed this year 🙈🙈
Hes english as well
I am a massive Brian Shaw fan but the way Thor lifted that shield was in sane. He is going to be hard to beat in the 2019 one in a couple weeks

"WUS" strange name for a strength competition.
the host is is the WUS in this case....
Mateusz is an insane presser, but wtf, can we just take a moment and appreciate Thor casually throwing that 140 kilo shield away?
2:21:08 - Brian pointing out that he broke the stage.
I know I'm late to the game, but came here after Loz's video highlighting Kieliszkowski's performance, amd this commentator was what I imagine a Saturday Live Skit making fun of WSM commentary would sound like!
Remember when we used to say Thor wasn't a very good deadlifter?
2018-2020 Thor was the strongest man in the world
Why the background music i just could not watch this for more then 5 mins
The background music was there to distract from the commentary.
I'm the real winner! I watched the FULL thing with his full commentary at full volume! 💪🏻
