Watching this interview really opened my eyes and mind as to who Eddie is in a deep profound insight. I have come away with a whole different point of view and feeling about Eddie. I actually have a lot of new found respect and admiration for Mr. Hall. Very insightful interview.

He's bitter than Thor lifted it way easier and looked slightly dizzy at the very worst after the lift whereas Eddie was unconscious with blood pouring out his nose.
@@Holdfast- 'And that's when I had a heart attack and died - LITERALLY died - on the platform, before Jesus Christ rode down from Heaven on a winged horse to resurrect me from the dead just so he could personally congratulate me.'
@@Wishmaster787 Yeah, and Eddie's been malding about it ever since. He's on record saying he thought that lift would never be beaten in his lifetime. Except it was, and he will never get over it.
I use to work on Private/cooperate jets. Someone I worked with then got into a conversation with a very nice lady. They talked awhile. Her husband's back was turned speaking to someone else. When he turned around. It was Jason Statham! She said they were both unbelievably kind and down to earth.
He also knocked Thor down twice with one hand. He knows he lost the fight but probably considers it a win just for taking the fight with one hand and being able to hold his own and get thor down twice with only one functional hand. Offcoars he was going to lose on points because with only one hand you have zero proper defense
@@johanbarnard3435He didn't 'only have one hand'. It's a BS excuse he's made. Prior to the fight he was throwing bombs with his 'injured arm' on the pads, bag & in sparring.
@@stokiemanbrent4200 those where not bombs. They weren't even 50% power punches. Look at the fight itself and you will see he never used that arm to punch with in the fight.
@@johanbarnard3435 He tore his lead hand's bicep. He states in this podcast he was still able to jab with it. So he could have been MUCH better than he was if he'd stayed in orthodox stance & used his iab. There's no excuse for his crab performance. He couldn't get inside Thor's reach.
If you listen to that whole piece again I think what Eddie meant was that he had managed to talk himself into believing that he could still win with one hand, not that he'd actually won with one hand.
I haven't seen this show before, but this was a good interview. I like Eddie Hall, and think he's a good example of how you can be masculine without any toxicity. You can be kind, respectful and tolerant...and still an absolute beast when you need to.
Regarding his life sacrifices. I'm a lorry driver 50+hrs a week and at the weekend it's chorse and jobs around the house etc. Feel like a cog stuck in the system living to work to pay off my loan and mortgage 🙄 not much family time
Chin up pal only you can change your life. Maybe think of a way you could start your own business with the skills you have or the job you currently do find a way you could freelance it. Maybe you won't earn much at the start but it will free you up and become more rewarding later on. Hope this helps 🙂
@Tom G cheers bud. That's a good idea. I can't afford to take a hit on my earnings at the minute. My wife had a heart attack last week and she won't be back at work for a while. She's only 32, but type 1 diabetic. I'm hoping I can go self employed limited to earn more to work less so I can care more. Things could always be worse so I'm still grateful.
People always hate on Eddie for personality traits, PED’s, no PED’s, obnoxious, not obnoxious, let’s see you deadlift 500kg and win worlds strongest man. He’s allowed a bit of an ego, he’s earned it.
He did win WSM. Him and Bryce changed events to cheat Thor out of the win. Stoltmans already admitted it. He also only questionably locked out that 500kg, and it was at a GIANTS LIVE event which was ALSO organized by Bryce (!!!!!!). Thor however lifted 501kg easy. Watching that lift, the majority of people think Thor could have done 520kg. I think more like 510kg. But either way. It is what it is. Eddie was a strong guy, top 3 in the world for a couple of years. But he DIDNT win 2017. And that's as plain as day.
@@TheVanillatech he did win 2017 wsm that’s a fact go look it up he also lifted 500kg in competition not on his own time there’s a big difference in lifting at a competition and lifting in your own gym to your own conditions. Also watch eddies deadlift it flies up off the floor and he locked it out. Hands down the greatest lift of all time.
I've had mixed impressions of Eddie over the years, after seeing him take part in the local Strongman event in Northwich. Totally understand why he's acted like he has in the past. I am a Thor fan but it's good to hear his thoughts and honest feelings about things. It is a shame two giants of the sports will probably never be friends again. Rob, great interview. And I hope you knock that idiot out!!
First time I have seen an interviewer pick Eddie up on some of the things that don't quite make sense and actually help him to give a more insightful answer with probing questions
Great podcast but Eddie almost insinuating that he lost the fight to thor because he tore his bicep is ridiculous he lost because thor was significantly better
Fact is he did tear his bicep and he did fight compromised. Everyone could see that from the 1st ring of the bell. Never threw a single proper punch with his left the entire fight and mostly tried to block woth only one hand all fight. It was as clear as day. I didn't know about the injury when I watched the fight and kwpt saying something is wrong just by looking at how he was moving. Then I went back to look on his channels history and found the Tear operation video. It's a live video bro go and watch it there is no faking a live Opp like that. I've torn muscles in my legs and it took me 16months before I could run again. Now try and throw a punch in a boxing match 6months after ypu completely detached your bicep. The impressive thing was still knocking Thor down twice with only one functional arm
But saying all that it doesn't mean he would have won if he wasn't injured. Fact is we don't know what would have happened. That's why a rematch is needed but i doubt it will ever happen
@@johanbarnard3435 there’s no doubt he did tear his bicep. The biggest issue for Eddie was not training like a boxer. He ignored fundamentals and thor didn’t. So after the first initial burst of energy and big punches from Eddie thor took over by actually boxing him.
@@decentcomment9447 that I can agree with. Eddie bet all his money on knocking him out quickly. Mostly because he knew without his keft arm he stood no chance in an actual boxing match and possibly even with his left arm he still would have lost who knows. He tried to overpower tactic because that was his beat bet. He had more speed and explosive power than Thor did but Thor had the better endurance, basic boxing skill and most importantly the much longer range. I'm not saying he would have won had he not been injured. What I'm saying is he clearly wasn't 100% and would have stood a much better chance. With correct training and enough time I would actually pick Eddie above Thor always seemed slow and slugish. Yes he had good boxing fundamentals but he was slow and never really seemed like he had the heart of a fighter. He nearly lost against a guy allot smaller than him in one of his warmup fights and nearly got knocked out by a very average boxer that was out Off shape as well. He has incredible genetics but lacks that killer instinct in a fight as well as speed. This fight would also have been much better had they both lost at least another 20-30Kgs of mucle mass
Thor would of won even if Eddie was fully healthy. Being better, bigger, longer reach and just had a better coach. Eddie would of still let emotion get the better of him
I think Eddie maybe confused or misdiagnosed.. ADD and Manic Depressive Disorder are different MDD Often accompanies ADD but I dare say as compulsive and obsessive as Eddie is in his craft he probably has both. It's awesome to see someone overcome! A true positive icon
I think Big Eddy using his rabbit to test his chamber was the most ill informed worse idea anyone could come up with, the rabbit is not even a fraction of Eddy's size and thus will need less oxygen.
This is an awesome interview!! Eddie hall really is an example for me. He has ADHD so do i, he sufferd depressions, so did i. He did swimming so did i. I just finished my therapy and i really am watching everything about Eddie i respect him the way he lives his life and how he is looking at life.
@@hansmaijchrzak7626 Im a WSM fan. Have been since the late 80's when my Dad would let me stay up till midnight to watch the finals on Christmas Day. I'm also a fan of FAIR PLAY in SPORT. Call me crazy but I don't like cheaters or rigged games.
@@hansmaijchrzak7626 Yeah. Eddie Hall cheated to win WSM2017, and also had a running deal with his business partner and friend Colin Bryce, that Colin would deliberately influence ALL contests, from WSM's to Giants Live, in order to change events so that Eddie had a better chance of winning. Picking events that either favoured Hall over the rest of the field, or ones that heavily went against his rivals. it's not my "theory" mate. It's proven. It's fact. Sorry. Eddie was top 3 in the world for a few years, but he was NEVER top - he didn't win WSM2017 "clean". Most men would be so happy with being even top 3, even top 20 - in the world. Not Eddie. He had to cry like a baby for years about how lifes unfair cos he never wins, then elect to CHEAT to win, then slander the guy who ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE WON had Eddie NOT cheated! That, bro .... isn't a fucking role model!
Geoff Capes was my hero from being a young girl and I'd watch every strongman, Deadlift comp, Shoulder press comp, anything I could find on terrestrial tv until I got a boyfriend whose parents had what was just known as satellite tv back then and my obsession for watching these men took over me.
Simon Sinek Says it best. Life is an Infinite game. Set your goals infinite. Even Moonshots are not good. (ex. WSM) A good goal for Eddy could be. To inspire people to improve their physical game to where they want to go. Focusing on the external infinite purpose in helping other people.
winning that title was so incredibly important to Eddie, so much had to have went into his achievement. for someone you thought was a friend to claim you were a liar would be pretty emotionally painful. I don't think he cheated, watch the footage back. Thor was being petty in my opinion.
Thor never called Eddie a liar, he called out Colin not Eddie about 2017 and said that Colin had set up the competition for Eddie to win If looked at from a neutral perspective it’s understandable why Thor called foul about the overall result
@@richardthomas3697 If looked at from Thor's perspective it's understandable. If looked at from a neutral perspective what you should see is Thor finish the viking press, celebrate with his team because he's confident he has won, then Eddie goes last and comfortably beats his score with more reps in the tank to take the title. Thor had zero complaints about the competition, and indeed seemed quite happy with how it was going, right up until he realized he had lost.
The Viking press wasn’t the last event so Eddie hadn’t won the title yet, Eddie’s video just made it seem like it was the deciding event When looked at from a neutral position you’d see Colin was best friends/business partner of Eddie so him been the events picker and head ref is a potential conflict of interest, picking 3 static events instead of the usual 2 would give Eddie an advantage as he struggled at non static events and Colin removed the chain drag at the last minute which would help Eddie
Eddie is a GREAT interview!! Has to be the best ambassador of strongman out there, and just an interesting dude regardless. Even though he's retired, he's still the tops. The current batch of guys is kind of lacking, besides Brian and maybe few others. Mitch Hooper is pretty interesting too
@@bt2476 Brian doesn't have the charismatic humor that Eddie has but I'd argue that Brian is the greatest strongman of all time. Not the strongest, not the best, but the greatest. The insight he has, his knowledge, his analytic mind, his understanding of every aspect of the sport, that's worth so much more, as an ambassador for the sport, than witty humor from a too loud mouth and a 500kg deadlift.
@@maxxximum_productions Brian is probably the greatest today. Even though, I think it's tough to argue against his predecessors like Magnus Ver Magnusson and Bill Kazmaier. The amount of contests they won right out the gate were surreal. But hey, Eddie is all those things of course, but it's good for the sport. Strongman is a fun sport, and when have a charismatic and funny individual who is very visible like Eddie, it brings people in. Sort of like Devon Larratt with armwrestling. As far as class act ambassador though, YES, Brian Shaw is the man!
Has anyone on here met Eddie I have he is one of the nicest person you will ever meet but doesn't sofer fool's. So what if he took steroids it is his life and as he has said it takes a lot more than that to become world strongest man .
His conduct during the build up to the fight was disrespectful towards Thor especially how he brought up thors mother. What was more concerning was how he brought his son up in the press conference and was swearing in front of his son. Not ur finest moment eddie. Come on Eddie don't bring up the arm excuse y u lost the fight. If u were that concerned about the arm u shouldn't of fought or at least delay it till ur arm was fully healed
I'll explain why he did this because it's fairly obvious if you know the timeline. So first of all Eddie and Thor weren't going to fight each other in a month or 2, they just weren't considering 1 they had never boxed before, and 2 how much they hated each other and didn't want to lose, because of this everyone and their aunty were bitching and complaining horrendously about how the fight wasn't happening soon enough. This is why when Eddie tore his bicep tendon off, he felt like he could only delay the fight for so much longer. Blame toxic pressure on the internet, not Eddie for coming into the fight broken. If you know about gaming, it's the same bullshit that happened with Cyberpunk, people toxicly bitched and complained horrendously about how Cyberpunk should be out already, then when it got rushed because of peoples complaining, people then complained about how buggy it was.
Disrespectful towards Thor ever since him and Bryce cheated Thor out of WSM 2017 gold! Disrespect is Eddies middle name. Nice that he got humbled in the ring. But I doubt Eddie will ever hand over that 2017 title to its rightful owner. Massive kudos to Thor for letting go of that, and putting it all behind him. Thor has advanced massively in maturity as a bloke these last 5 years. Eddie is the same today as he was at 17.
@@TheVanillatech Thor disrespected himself by crying like a baby when a better and stronger man beat him. How would Thors wife feel if she found out that you welcomed him into your ass?
@@510midget8 1. Thor didn't cry. Using hyperbole is childish, same way that Eddie making slander videos about Thor not accepting his loss, then subsequently being PROVEN that Eddie cheated with Bryce, is childish. 2. Thor was the better strongman. If Eddie and Bryce hadn't cheated, Thor would have won WSM17. Therefore, Thor DID win 2017. He also lifted more weight in the DL to take the record away from Hall, AND Thors looked easy. Eddie almost died and was hospitalized. 3. Even with being robbed of his rightful 2017 trophy, Thor has won FAR MORE world class international contests than Eddie, and also kicked the shit out of him in the ring. Judging by the above FACTS, I'd say you were WRONG. Wouldn't you? See, I don't argue with emotions. Because I don't have to. That's why I won.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Eddie is Hafthor's biggest fan. I mean how many of us have a tattoo engraved to ourselves stating "The World's Strongest Man Hafthor Julius Bjornsson!"? For sure Hafthor must be the biggest inspiration of Eddie's entire life! He even got inside the ring with the Mighty Viking only to get DESOLATED the Fuck out!
lol you must be the biggest Thor D*ckrider in the whole world ! Seeing you under almost any video with Eddie. I think you are secretly Eddie's biggest fan .

Rob, you should refer Eddie to Teal Swan. 🙏🏽 Eddie, much Love brother. ❤ Anxiety and depression can come from unmet emotional needs as children. Abandonment trauma, attachment styles developed based on our caregivers. We all have unhealed emotional truama that manifests as different levels of emotional issues. This can be healed. You have to mve the energy of the emotions. Thats why people become addicted to the fix. Its becomes a replacement for actually alchemizing the emotional energy. These are defense mechanisms we learn to cope with our wounding. You can heal brother. It takes a new level of self awareness. And facing our own shadow.
Great Interview I just hope that Eddie talking about how his Heart is pumping 4 Times the amount of Blood that an Ordinary Heart Pumps does not come back to Haunt him, or his Famous Last Words, I like Eddie but he really needs to start his Bodybuilding Journey Now and get down to a lean 140KG which is still Massive for any Human Being, and Eddie will look Bigger at the weight if he is Low Bodyfat and Cut, I believe this Guy can do anything he puts his Mind too, come Eddie start this Bodybuilding Journey Serious now, we all know you will succeed at anything you chose to do, I would like you to be alive for a long time, Good Luck Eddie and I cant wait to see what you look like with a year of serious Bodybuilding raining and Reduced Calories, he will look Incredible and the weight loss will benefit him in the long run he is still a young man, but time waits for no one so get it done Good Luck...
Trauma is intergenerational. Therapy might actually help him get to the bottom of it rather than numbing and distracting himself with another project where he tries to prove his worth.
It bothers me that Eddie seems to honestly believe that Thor ever actually wanted to and tried to "destroy his life". I don't think it was a matter of anything but the sport, it wasn't personal until Eddie made it such.
You shouldn't feel sorry for anybody who writes you a negative comment. They may well be happy in life and just think you're a nob head, Eddie definitely gets angry when he gets hate he wants to beat the shit out of them 😅 it makes his head explode
The pressure on him for doing the fight was of his own doing. Had he not had such a big mouth and made all these claims of him being able to beat up Hafthor, no one would've gave a damn. I used to like Eddie, but the truth is there is no rivalry between him and Hafthor. Eddie beat Hafthor in exactly 2 competitions where as Hafthor beat Eddie in 11 competitions. Losing the fight has solidified Hafthor being both the better athlete and the better man.

He also knocked Thor down twice with one hand. He knows he lost the fight but probably considers it a win just for taking the fight with one hand and being able to hold his own and get thor down twice with only one functional hand. Offcoars he was going to lose on points because with only one hand you have zero proper defense
@@johanbarnard3435He didn't 'only have one hand'. It's a BS excuse he's made. Prior to the fight he was throwing bombs with his 'injured arm' on the pads, bag & in sparring.
@@stokiemanbrent4200 those where not bombs. They weren't even 50% power punches. Look at the fight itself and you will see he never used that arm to punch with in the fight.
@@johanbarnard3435 He tore his lead hand's bicep. He states in this podcast he was still able to jab with it. So he could have been MUCH better than he was if he'd stayed in orthodox stance & used his iab.
There's no excuse for his crab performance. He couldn't get inside Thor's reach.
If you listen to that whole piece again I think what Eddie meant was that he had managed to talk himself into believing that he could still win with one hand, not that he'd actually won with one hand.
I haven't seen this show before, but this was a good interview. I like Eddie Hall, and think he's a good example of how you can be masculine without any toxicity. You can be kind, respectful and tolerant...and still an absolute beast when you need to.
Toxicity schmoxicity.. why use the enemies language
@@wearetheremnants1615 And what enemy would that be?
@@TheSwiftFalcon don't engage with em, obviously some tater tot, who thinks women are either slaves or enemies.
Regarding his life sacrifices. I'm a lorry driver 50+hrs a week and at the weekend it's chorse and jobs around the house etc. Feel like a cog stuck in the system living to work to pay off my loan and mortgage 🙄 not much family time
Chin up pal only you can change your life. Maybe think of a way you could start your own business with the skills you have or the job you currently do find a way you could freelance it. Maybe you won't earn much at the start but it will free you up and become more rewarding later on. Hope this helps 🙂
@Tom G cheers bud. That's a good idea. I can't afford to take a hit on my earnings at the minute. My wife had a heart attack last week and she won't be back at work for a while. She's only 32, but type 1 diabetic. I'm hoping I can go self employed limited to earn more to work less so I can care more. Things could always be worse so I'm still grateful.
Turn to Christ my mate, it’s helped me out so much.
@Sid Boggle I hear you but I'm not religious bud 👍
People always hate on Eddie for personality traits, PED’s, no PED’s, obnoxious, not obnoxious, let’s see you deadlift 500kg and win worlds strongest man. He’s allowed a bit of an ego, he’s earned it.
Truth. Betamale cucks can't take it. The same ppl virtue signall about being "good", fake woke idiots i call them. Such fragility.
He did win WSM. Him and Bryce changed events to cheat Thor out of the win. Stoltmans already admitted it. He also only questionably locked out that 500kg, and it was at a GIANTS LIVE event which was ALSO organized by Bryce (!!!!!!).
Thor however lifted 501kg easy. Watching that lift, the majority of people think Thor could have done 520kg. I think more like 510kg. But either way.
It is what it is. Eddie was a strong guy, top 3 in the world for a couple of years. But he DIDNT win 2017. And that's as plain as day.
I could maybe deadlift 500kg, dont know if i would be alive to celebrate afterwards though😂💀
@Jane Dough Spoken like a true fanboy! Well done! :D
Science, data, reality and the obvious .... all disagree with you!
@@TheVanillatech he did win 2017 wsm that’s a fact go look it up he also lifted 500kg in competition not on his own time there’s a big difference in lifting at a competition and lifting in your own gym to your own conditions. Also watch eddies deadlift it flies up off the floor and he locked it out. Hands down the greatest lift of all time.
I've had mixed impressions of Eddie over the years, after seeing him take part in the local Strongman event in Northwich. Totally understand why he's acted like he has in the past. I am a Thor fan but it's good to hear his thoughts and honest feelings about things. It is a shame two giants of the sports will probably never be friends again.
Rob, great interview. And I hope you knock that idiot out!!
I lost all respect for Thor for his proven baseless accusations which made Eddie face lots of backlash
@@SadAss. they were actually proven right if you heard the Luke Stoltman phone call
@@logi508that was about giants live not wsm
Brilliant video mate respect YNWA brother
Great interview. Well put together
Great podcast,great insight from Eddie even if some people don't like his comments he is being honest
BIG TIP FOR YOUR FIGHT. A LOT OF THE BEST BOXERS USED AXE/HAMMER TRAINING FOR POWER :) GOOD LUCK!
Awesome stuff chaps! Thanks v muchly 👍
The boxing argument doesn't exactly hold up. Even with one arm he wasn't boxing he was just swinging.
First time I have seen an interviewer pick Eddie up on some of the things that don't quite make sense and actually help him to give a more insightful answer with probing questions
Great podcast but Eddie almost insinuating that he lost the fight to thor because he tore his bicep is ridiculous he lost because thor was significantly better
Fact is he did tear his bicep and he did fight compromised. Everyone could see that from the 1st ring of the bell. Never threw a single proper punch with his left the entire fight and mostly tried to block woth only one hand all fight. It was as clear as day. I didn't know about the injury when I watched the fight and kwpt saying something is wrong just by looking at how he was moving. Then I went back to look on his channels history and found the Tear operation video. It's a live video bro go and watch it there is no faking a live Opp like that. I've torn muscles in my legs and it took me 16months before I could run again. Now try and throw a punch in a boxing match 6months after ypu completely detached your bicep. The impressive thing was still knocking Thor down twice with only one functional arm
But saying all that it doesn't mean he would have won if he wasn't injured. Fact is we don't know what would have happened. That's why a rematch is needed but i doubt it will ever happen
@@johanbarnard3435 there’s no doubt he did tear his bicep. The biggest issue for Eddie was not training like a boxer. He ignored fundamentals and thor didn’t. So after the first initial burst of energy and big punches from Eddie thor took over by actually boxing him.
@@decentcomment9447 that I can agree with. Eddie bet all his money on knocking him out quickly. Mostly because he knew without his keft arm he stood no chance in an actual boxing match and possibly even with his left arm he still would have lost who knows. He tried to overpower tactic because that was his beat bet. He had more speed and explosive power than Thor did but Thor had the better endurance, basic boxing skill and most importantly the much longer range. I'm not saying he would have won had he not been injured. What I'm saying is he clearly wasn't 100% and would have stood a much better chance. With correct training and enough time I would actually pick Eddie above Thor always seemed slow and slugish. Yes he had good boxing fundamentals but he was slow and never really seemed like he had the heart of a fighter. He nearly lost against a guy allot smaller than him in one of his warmup fights and nearly got knocked out by a very average boxer that was out Off shape as well. He has incredible genetics but lacks that killer instinct in a fight as well as speed.
This fight would also have been much better had they both lost at least another 20-30Kgs of mucle mass
Thor would of won even if Eddie was fully healthy. Being better, bigger, longer reach and just had a better coach. Eddie would of still let emotion get the better of him
Great as always Rob! 👌👍
Nice interview!
I think Eddie maybe confused or misdiagnosed.. ADD and Manic Depressive Disorder are different MDD Often accompanies ADD but I dare say as compulsive and obsessive as Eddie is in his craft he probably has both. It's awesome to see someone overcome! A true positive icon
Eddie hall is a true gent and an inspiration to us all.
Real good Interview ❤
I think Big Eddy using his rabbit to test his chamber was the most ill informed worse idea anyone could come up with, the rabbit is not even a fraction of Eddy's size and thus will need less oxygen.
I can relate to Eddie a lot especially his younger years,and we look alike madness
great interview
Loved it keep up the good work Eddie is the man
Great interview! Albeit, regarding steroid use; pretty safe to assume Joe wasn't talking about TRT or he would have said that.
Just like the Martyn Ford interview, quality 👊🏻
Great interview never listened to Eddie hall before comes across intelligent and a nice guy
This is an awesome interview!! Eddie hall really is an example for me. He has ADHD so do i, he sufferd depressions, so did i. He did swimming so did i. I just finished my therapy and i really am watching everything about Eddie i respect him the way he lives his life and how he is looking at life.
But he's a cheat. A liar. A gobshite. Swears and is violent around his own kid.
Hardly a good role model is he?
@@TheVanillatech a thor fan i'd bet?
@@hansmaijchrzak7626 Im a WSM fan. Have been since the late 80's when my Dad would let me stay up till midnight to watch the finals on Christmas Day.
I'm also a fan of FAIR PLAY in SPORT.
Call me crazy but I don't like cheaters or rigged games.
@@TheVanillatech ill wont argue about that cheating part. And dont wanna start an argument in general but are you saying Eddie Hall cheated?
@@hansmaijchrzak7626 Yeah. Eddie Hall cheated to win WSM2017, and also had a running deal with his business partner and friend Colin Bryce, that Colin would deliberately influence ALL contests, from WSM's to Giants Live, in order to change events so that Eddie had a better chance of winning. Picking events that either favoured Hall over the rest of the field, or ones that heavily went against his rivals.
it's not my "theory" mate. It's proven. It's fact. Sorry.
Eddie was top 3 in the world for a few years, but he was NEVER top - he didn't win WSM2017 "clean".
Most men would be so happy with being even top 3, even top 20 - in the world. Not Eddie. He had to cry like a baby for years about how lifes unfair cos he never wins, then elect to CHEAT to win, then slander the guy who ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE WON had Eddie NOT cheated!
That, bro .... isn't a fucking role model!
Geoff Capes was my hero from being a young girl and I'd watch every strongman, Deadlift comp, Shoulder press comp, anything I could find on terrestrial tv until I got a boyfriend whose parents had what was just known as satellite tv back then and my obsession for watching these men took over me.
Great story. Love it!! BUT, the damn swallowing?! Still excellent story, especially the bit about proving people wrong.
Simon Sinek Says it best. Life is an Infinite game. Set your goals infinite. Even Moonshots are not good. (ex. WSM) A good goal for Eddy could be. To inspire people to improve their physical game to where they want to go. Focusing on the external infinite purpose in helping other people.
Eddie wouldn't have been bothered by Thor's claims if there was no truth to them!
winning that title was so incredibly important to Eddie, so much had to have went into his achievement. for someone you thought was a friend to claim you were a liar would be pretty emotionally painful. I don't think he cheated, watch the footage back. Thor was being petty in my opinion.
Thor never called Eddie a liar, he called out Colin not Eddie about 2017 and said that Colin had set up the competition for Eddie to win
If looked at from a neutral perspective it’s understandable why Thor called foul about the overall result
@@richardthomas3697 If looked at from Thor's perspective it's understandable. If looked at from a neutral perspective what you should see is Thor finish the viking press, celebrate with his team because he's confident he has won, then Eddie goes last and comfortably beats his score with more reps in the tank to take the title. Thor had zero complaints about the competition, and indeed seemed quite happy with how it was going, right up until he realized he had lost.
The Viking press wasn’t the last event so Eddie hadn’t won the title yet, Eddie’s video just made it seem like it was the deciding event
When looked at from a neutral position you’d see Colin was best friends/business partner of Eddie so him been the events picker and head ref is a potential conflict of interest, picking 3 static events instead of the usual 2 would give Eddie an advantage as he struggled at non static events and Colin removed the chain drag at the last minute which would help Eddie
Andrew Tate is exploiting young men with his courses making millionS!!!! That said Tate does speak a lot of sense !!
Eddie is a GREAT interview!! Has to be the best ambassador of strongman out there, and just an interesting dude regardless. Even though he's retired, he's still the tops. The current batch of guys is kind of lacking, besides Brian and maybe few others. Mitch Hooper is pretty interesting too
Brian Shaw greatest ambassador of the sport!
@@peachyhue Brian is definitely a good guy and great ambassador. But, he doesn't quite have the personality of Eddie.
@@bt2476 Brian doesn't have the charismatic humor that Eddie has but I'd argue that Brian is the greatest strongman of all time. Not the strongest, not the best, but the greatest. The insight he has, his knowledge, his analytic mind, his understanding of every aspect of the sport, that's worth so much more, as an ambassador for the sport, than witty humor from a too loud mouth and a 500kg deadlift.
@@maxxximum_productions Brian is probably the greatest today. Even though, I think it's tough to argue against his predecessors like Magnus Ver Magnusson and Bill Kazmaier. The amount of contests they won right out the gate were surreal. But hey, Eddie is all those things of course, but it's good for the sport. Strongman is a fun sport, and when have a charismatic and funny individual who is very visible like Eddie, it brings people in. Sort of like Devon Larratt with armwrestling. As far as class act ambassador though, YES, Brian Shaw is the man!
Has anyone on here met Eddie I have he is one of the nicest person you will ever meet but doesn't sofer fool's. So what if he took steroids it is his life and as he has said it takes a lot more than that to become world strongest man .
What do you mean? You can't greet that strong without the steroids. Without them he would have not lifted as much.
Eddie is such an inspiration 👏🏽
His conduct during the build up to the fight was disrespectful towards Thor especially how he brought up thors mother. What was more concerning was how he brought his son up in the press conference and was swearing in front of his son. Not ur finest moment eddie. Come on Eddie don't bring up the arm excuse y u lost the fight. If u were that concerned about the arm u shouldn't of fought or at least delay it till ur arm was fully healed
I'll explain why he did this because it's fairly obvious if you know the timeline. So first of all Eddie and Thor weren't going to fight each other in a month or 2, they just weren't considering 1 they had never boxed before, and 2 how much they hated each other and didn't want to lose, because of this everyone and their aunty were bitching and complaining horrendously about how the fight wasn't happening soon enough. This is why when Eddie tore his bicep tendon off, he felt like he could only delay the fight for so much longer. Blame toxic pressure on the internet, not Eddie for coming into the fight broken. If you know about gaming, it's the same bullshit that happened with Cyberpunk, people toxicly bitched and complained horrendously about how Cyberpunk should be out already, then when it got rushed because of peoples complaining, people then complained about how buggy it was.
Eddie rightfully told Thors mom to shut the fuck up. She was just screaming for no reason.
Disrespectful towards Thor ever since him and Bryce cheated Thor out of WSM 2017 gold! Disrespect is Eddies middle name. Nice that he got humbled in the ring. But I doubt Eddie will ever hand over that 2017 title to its rightful owner.
Massive kudos to Thor for letting go of that, and putting it all behind him. Thor has advanced massively in maturity as a bloke these last 5 years. Eddie is the same today as he was at 17.
@@TheVanillatech Thor disrespected himself by crying like a baby when a better and stronger man beat him. How would Thors wife feel if she found out that you welcomed him into your ass?
@@510midget8 1. Thor didn't cry. Using hyperbole is childish, same way that Eddie making slander videos about Thor not accepting his loss, then subsequently being PROVEN that Eddie cheated with Bryce, is childish.
2. Thor was the better strongman. If Eddie and Bryce hadn't cheated, Thor would have won WSM17. Therefore, Thor DID win 2017. He also lifted more weight in the DL to take the record away from Hall, AND Thors looked easy. Eddie almost died and was hospitalized.
3. Even with being robbed of his rightful 2017 trophy, Thor has won FAR MORE world class international contests than Eddie, and also kicked the shit out of him in the ring.
Judging by the above FACTS, I'd say you were WRONG.
Wouldn't you?
See, I don't argue with emotions. Because I don't have to. That's why I won.
Great interview. Nice to see Eddie Hall and not the Beast.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Eddie is Hafthor's biggest fan. I mean how many of us have a tattoo engraved to ourselves stating "The World's Strongest Man Hafthor Julius Bjornsson!"? For sure Hafthor must be the biggest inspiration of Eddie's entire life! He even got inside the ring with the Mighty Viking only to get DESOLATED the Fuck out!
Said no one ever
@@Ugly_Giant_Bag_of_Mostly_Water Did I say anything bad or wrong?

Testosterone therapy has various risks, including: Worsening sleep apnea - a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Causing acne or other skin reactions. Stimulating noncancerous growth of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and growth of existing prostate cancer. Men on long-term using forms of testosterone therapy long term appear to have a higher risk of cardiovascular problems, like heart attacks, strokes, and deaths from heart disease

A true champion and fair sportsman
Rob, you should refer Eddie to Teal Swan. 🙏🏽 Eddie, much Love brother. ❤ Anxiety and depression can come from unmet emotional needs as children. Abandonment trauma, attachment styles developed based on our caregivers. We all have unhealed emotional truama that manifests as different levels of emotional issues. This can be healed. You have to mve the energy of the emotions. Thats why people become addicted to the fix. Its becomes a replacement for actually alchemizing the emotional energy. These are defense mechanisms we learn to cope with our wounding. You can heal brother. It takes a new level of self awareness. And facing our own shadow.
I love Eddie so much, he’s my greatest inspiration and he’ll forever be❤
Ok
Great interview! Eddie Hall is awesome in every way! Such a down-to-earth guy for one of the strongest men in history!
Great Interview I just hope that Eddie talking about how his Heart is pumping 4 Times the amount of Blood that an Ordinary Heart Pumps does not come back to Haunt him, or his Famous Last Words, I like Eddie but he really needs to start his Bodybuilding Journey Now and get down to a lean 140KG which is still Massive for any Human Being, and Eddie will look Bigger at the weight if he is Low Bodyfat and Cut, I believe this Guy can do anything he puts his Mind too, come Eddie start this Bodybuilding Journey Serious now, we all know you will succeed at anything you chose to do, I would like you to be alive for a long time, Good Luck Eddie and I cant wait to see what you look like with a year of serious Bodybuilding raining and Reduced Calories, he will look Incredible and the weight loss will benefit him in the long run he is still a young man, but time waits for no one so get it done Good Luck...
What a true legend Eddie is.
Trauma is intergenerational. Therapy might actually help him get to the bottom of it rather than numbing and distracting himself with another project where he tries to prove his worth.
Eddies is a legend an inspiration and a true role model great interview
It bothers me that Eddie seems to honestly believe that Thor ever actually wanted to and tried to "destroy his life". I don't think it was a matter of anything but the sport, it wasn't personal until Eddie made it such.
Eddie is a proper top bloke
He is trying to force Eddie into a conversation he doesn’t want
Channel is called disruptors
Something journalists should do to the corrupt globalist politicians
The Rock on just TRT! 😂
Hardly a frank interview.
Wonder if Eddie's on any exogenous androgens?
Great interview. Eddie’s such a smart dude, and a huge inspiration. Will never understand the hate.
you must have never watched an Eddie video leading up to the fight.
I can't still to this day at 46 calm my nugget down, unless I beat the shit out my body in the gym or on the road running.
You shouldn't feel sorry for anybody who writes you a negative comment. They may well be happy in life and just think you're a nob head, Eddie definitely gets angry when he gets hate he wants to beat the shit out of them 😅 it makes his head explode
Eddie is a man s man
One hell of a bloke
The pressure on him for doing the fight was of his own doing. Had he not had such a big mouth and made all these claims of him being able to beat up Hafthor, no one would've gave a damn. I used to like Eddie, but the truth is there is no rivalry between him and Hafthor. Eddie beat Hafthor in exactly 2 competitions where as Hafthor beat Eddie in 11 competitions. Losing the fight has solidified Hafthor being both the better athlete and the better man.
