Andrew Potapenkoff 2013 he had a really good shot at it but injured himself when he was in second place halfway through. Always thought he was such a good sport.
Brenden Day to be honest Terry Hollands is kind of a gatekeeper. his problem is that when he bombs he bombs hard. Look at Shaw and Big Z, even when it’s their worst event they’re almost never outside of the top 3, maybeee top 4, but for Terry it’s not uncommon to see him finish almost in dead last sometimes. Those points prove to be very costly. Even when he comes on really strong, it seems like he’s always just 1 event away from dropping 3 spots
@@NirsterkurNot many are big wins for Thor only 1 WSM and 3 Arnold, Whereas Brain has 2 Shaw Classic, 4 WSM, 3 Arnold's, Thor could've won so much more than he did.

I am a men French and excuse me but i speak no good English! I'm live in FRANCE....Yes Paris "The Tour Eiffel ;-) " It is February 10, 2019 but I am a very very very very big fan of BRIAN SHAW but I discovered it only 3 months ago so since I look for two to three hours before going to sleep these videos on youtube !! And I think he is incredible because he is one of the strongest men on this planet Earth but at the same time, when I see him speak, answer questions from journalists, and even if another strong man come to him to look for stories so that Brian gets carried away or gets upset, and no Brian will stay calm because he is very very strong physically but he is also very very strong mentally and he is the most intelligent of all the strong man! And he is a very very good dad! it's the best :-) Au revoir à tous Bises From France :-)
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
a variety of characters from all walks of life.... Brian Oldfield for crissakes! and the events were much more interesting..... I'd love to see these guys doing the bar bend
Okay, I've been binge watching these competitions and hear Savickas' name being pronounced as SavicKas and SaviSkas. Could someone from Lithuania tell me which is right?
@@julesmarti7382 yeah everything eddie says is that hes the deadlift world record, he won 1 WSM for a tiny margin and thinkk hes the strongest man of all time, hes kinda pathetic tbh
Big Z was the strongest man that year. He won the deadlift and the press events. WSM isn't just a strength competition. I would like to see a pure strength competition, all static, nothing mobile.
I really do like Hafthor but it took him 8 tries to win worlds. Big Z, 4 tries. B. Shaw, 3 times. 2009 - 3rd 2010 - 2nd 2011 - 1st Shaw is the strongest human to have ever lived .
Zydrunas couldn't compete in 4 straight WSMs in his prime because of internal politics, and was top 2 in every other one over a span of 14 years. 8 Arnold's when no one else has more than 3. Shaw is awesome, and the second best ever, but big Z is the GOAT by a wide margin.
Z is the greatest by a Margin, Z also had 6 second places at WSM and he couldn't compete during 2005-7, He would've wom twice more atleast if he could.
Why not just give them wider fucking grips for the frame carry? I hate that the event basically comes down to whose hands will rip, and then the competitors who're unfortunate have their whole weekend negatively affected. Just make the grips proper and make the thing heavier or have them go farther. Seems pretty basic.
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest. Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!
@@-Erebus he definitely isn't tho . He was majorly hyped up every year but was never a legitimate threat ! He did manage 3rd in 2007 but that was the cream of the crop he kinda got lucky
It’s really irritating hearing the commentators constantly mispronounce Savickas’s name. It’s not Savisckas, at least if you’re the commentator get the names of the competitors correct especially the defending champion
Here after hearing Brian Shaw retired. Thank you Brian Shaw for an amazing career in WSM. Truly one of the goats of the sport.
Totally agree
Thor looked older then than he does now, so weird to see him in a competition but not focus on him as a contender for every event
Thor was still a virgin back then
He looks younger now then he did here
The Mountain is rejuvenating haha
@@colejames423 He looks like 20 years older to me
He looks like a baby, and to see how far his grip and overall strength has grown leaps n bounds.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 He is a fucking cheater and a crying bitch, all his titles annd money should be taken and he should be left to compete at his home
Will be interesting to see how Hafþór fares in the next few years. He was only 22 there and he's got at least ten years left in him!
You predict it man!
He won.
I think he might do okay.
He's a bum. No way he goes anywhere.
right in the spot

I listen to his podcast. He provides great strongman commentary.
Brian looked so different with hair on his head XD
Hooper would be salivating seeing frame carry and yoke as the first 2 events.
sadly these guys paid (so ive heard many times) thousands ($41000.top prize), very underrated and underpaid sport
So is MMA

Terry Hollands is very underrated. I don't think many people know how close he has gotten time and time again to winning.
If only he had finished 1-st competition...
Andrew Potapenkoff 2013 he had a really good shot at it but injured himself when he was in second place halfway through. Always thought he was such a good sport.

With that being said he’s the best truck puller in history and he’s a legend in his own right
@@forbesfoofighters You are so right, instead of getting on with it Terry complains
Hafthor improved 20x. His progression is so apparent visiting back these old WSM contests.
But he could have or more like should have won more competitions due to bad choices

The day a legend was born!
Zydrunas performance in log lift showed how much gap between him and Brian in shoulder power
Doesn't really say much though, Žydrūnas Savickas is the strongest overhead presser to ever live. That's still a fair event for Shaw.
Big Z broke all the log press records many times. Best presser of all time.
Rip mike
That farmers carry just seems like there’s gotta be a way to adjust it so guys don’t shred their hands
Thor 6th wow it just shows how getting experience is important
What a geezer Terry Hollands pride of Dartford , amazing !
That this man would dethrone Žydrūnas Savickas in his prime not just here, but two additional times, just shows you how legendary Brian Shaw has been.
watching Big Z and Shaw battle it out over years was super entertaining -- great athletes!
Kaz might have had the most impressive shoulder pressing strength when he was in WSM but man it might be a tie...big Z always come in with machine like pressing power. Wow
That would be an epic showdown. Both are healthy and in their primes. I would have to put my money on Big Z, though.
Nearly every time the camera is on Big Z: 😲😬😲😬😲
A body that big he has to ventilate.
Great show-shame about the phone scam.

I guess no one had ever heard of gloves.
My thoughts exactly. I think Shaw would go on to use gloves years later.
Thanks for putting this up. Made my day.

T'es bizarre mon gars
You are nice. Have a good day friend
thanks for posting this bro
Can they not use gloves for the first carry!? Or does it impede them? Or just not allowed? THANKS!!
I’m not totally sure but most of it is for grip so they might not want competitors using grip help
Ladies and gentleman, the Shaw era begins on this day
The only time Terry Hollands didn't make excuses and did alright
never understood why WSM uses these little handles to tear their fucking hands to shreads and on the first event at that to fuck up the entire competition because you can't actually see how strong someone is with ripped up hands
just this year happened to Mitchell Hooper. He destroyed his hands in a similar event, which was also the first one in the final.
On a worlds strongest man marathon and gotta admit the world's strongest man that were back in 1978 were so much better to watch
a variety of characters from all walks of life.... Brian Oldfield for crissakes! and the events were much more interesting..... I'd love to see these guys doing the bar bend
The early ones were fun and light-hearted; the later ones were quite serious and strongman by that time had become a real sport.
Congratulations Mr. Shaw. Mr. Colbert can eat his words along with the Atlas Stones.

I'm not from Lithuania, but you can hear him say, when he introduces himself, as SaviTSkas. None of the above. :D

it is underpaid but they dont just do one competition a year...still i agree underpaid

@@TC-iz5hr Magnus ver Magnusson verified it, did he not? and the plates were weighed. I believe he did it.
MONSTER deadlifts

Who would you be more scared of if you got pulled over, Derek Poundstone or Ronnie Coleman?
I would love to be pulled over by them to be able to tell the story. I would ask for a selfie with them.
Whos here cause of his insta post
I didn't know Rodrigo Martinez was a real person.
Mmmm... spinach.. drooool.
I love how they still ask will their tall height be an advantage or disadvantage to give the illusion short guys even have a chance at this.
Lol well being (relatively) shorter does help for some events. Like deadlifting, Brian's extreme height actually hurts him there.
Marius was 6/6’1 and he won it more than anyone 😂
You cant compare Marius to mortals.
Dusty Barker true true the guy was off the scale
Big Z fans: Marius's generation was weak Big Z has the biggest press so he is the strongest.
Bro! Two of the five times Marius won it was against Big Z
What the f...ever happened to Mike Jenkins??
His heart exploded and he passed away, Such an amazing rise he had Coming out of nowhere and beating Brian and Vytautas in the Arnolds hand winning.
How would have tought thor will lift 501 for WR by 10 years
Yea he was a real amateur here .but u could tell by his build he was going places
Home-gym exhibitions aren't world records.
Yeah, but luckily the best ones do get some money from sponorships.
Good body but she isn't a patch on Philipa Forester.
Nine years later and they are lifting more reps and heavier... who would have thought that?
At what lift? definitely not overhead
Strongman evolved, plus PEDS are probably better now -- and statistically a greater field of athletes due to expanding world population
There was nobody stronger than Jon Pall Sigmarson! Look up for the cartwheels deadlift, over 500 kilo with a rectangular bar! He will always be the strongest unless someone picks up a higher wait under same circumstances and conditions! He broke Khasmeijer and the world record in one day!
