This video surely shows the absurdity of the current tv deal set up? Can’t talk about the event just finished that brings you together who everyone watching this will know who has won! Needs a mayor rethink for the promotional aspect. Huge following and would only grow if live streams/ tv was available. The Sports evolved but promotions stayed the same.
I heard that when they doing the production they already losing millions and if they do a live stream they have to have shit loads of people watching to break even about maybe 200.000 people
Unfortunately the tv deal pays for most expenses they have with worlds, until they can be sure to bring that amount of money elsewhere the deal will stand.
Eddie is really trying to convince people he wasnt shitting on thor for 2years. Insulting him every chance he could and talked like he is the king of the world. Imagine how he wouldve acted if he won and not to mention his fan base who he rallied up against thor every chance he could. Luckily none of this happened and thor knocked the shit out of him and made him look like the little insecure kid he really is.
if Thor hadn't have quit I believe he likely would have ended up with the record for wsm wins. he just got better and better. it's a shame really, we never got to see him fulfill his destiny
I think, if he had slimmed down just a bit, he would have possibly got more Worlds titles, but you could see the stress was he was suffering from, he was exhausted, I think maybe if he took 2 years out then returned, he would have done brilliantly and got more titles.
@@PaulBloomlittledevil he was winning it in 2019if it weren't for ankle. Won every single major strongman title that exists in 2018(WUS,WSM,Arnold's,Iceland's,Europes) all the way up to 2020(Didn't win 2019 wsm due to injury and didn't enter wsm2020)
There's a lot of what ifs, had Eddie not left after ONLY1 wsm win(we know he was ALL around statically top 3 strongest men in the world at least), what if Martins didn't get injured, what if this and that.
Even comparing Tom to 2018 Hafthor is disrespectful. Tom didn't even break top 5 at the Arnold's. Ridiculous. Thats collin pushing the Stoltman brand as he promised
Everyone was hating on Eddie because he was talking so much shit before the fight. If he'd been a bit more humble and sportsmanlike, the backlash would have been minimal. Kudos for the humble pie though, that was a really good one.
Respectfully disagree with Colin here. 2018 Thor also won the Arnold's and WUS. He won every major contest that year in dominant fashion against the world's best. It truly looked like he would win no matter the events. Whereas I don't think Tom, as good as he is, would have won the Arnold's this year, even if he focused on it. Also, the WSM events were great for Tom. That's taking nothing away from Tom - he's an incredible strongman, and may yet surpass Thor. Just don't think he's done it yet!
True. Tom is definitely great, events in his favor or not and yeah who knows what future brings, he may surpass Thor or may not But theres no way anyone ever comming close to peaked Thor, he is probably the most complete strongman ever, even more complete than Brian and big Z even tho they x4 WSM
The worlds strongest man HAS TO BE STREAMED LIVE!!!! This waiting months thing is ridiculous, we all know the result by the time it comes to watching it in our heads its been and gone, there is surely a deal to be made to get it live now! Times have moved on years ago it could be kept secret, not on todays world! WE NEED CHANGE
Regarding the deadlift and sumo, why not make it a seperate record. 100% invite them. Brings people over to the sport, if it's a seperate record I can't see an issue
No disrespect to Tom but Thor in 2018 was unstoppable if he was still in after 2020 I honestly see him winning WSM each year (without injury of course)
Strongest ever is too hard to call. The usual argument of different eras applies, but also you can say most years that a different set of events might have had a different result. Difficult to see weaknesses in Tom Stoltman though and it goes to show that training such as the Hercules Hold has really paid off. All credit to the Stoltman brothers and it was interesting to see Harry nearly keep up with Tom on grip in a recent video. May need to wait until near Christmas as usual to see the full show, but looking forward to it.
It's on an 'official' channel, so they're probably under contract to not say anything. All the other channels aren't part of the 'official' organization so they can say whatever they want.
Or he may have just been the one who used the most gear. 🤷♂️ The generally accepted theory as to why Eddie and Hafthor quit early is because they used too much gear, although we’ll probably never know exactly how much.
@@MatsVederhus He was 6ft 9 though and the evidence shows the taller you are in strongman, the better you’ll be. And gear doesn’t add anything to your height.
Talk about re-writing history. Eddie regularly behaved terribly in the couple of year’s leading up to the fight with Hafthor, and especially in the weeks and days leading up to the fight. He was an awful role-model, completely toxic. He definitely let the Strongman brand down. And what is he doing here? Smoking a cigar and changing the narrative about why he lost (surprise surprise, it was because he was injured). This would have been a whole lot better had someone like Big Loz (and Liz) been involved - both are brilliant ambassadors for Strongman, and much more genuine and wholesome.
You are not wrong. Thor won all the big shows and was all around a better strongman than anyone in his time. Prime Thor vs Tom Stoltman of today, I would say Thor wins due to having a better grip, much better at deadlift, overhead dumbbells, and also pulling events
@@doctordaro2112 doesn’t matter, that was Thors PEAK. Thor had been competing since beginning of 2009, 10 years to get to his best. Tom has been competing since 2015. He’s got another couple of years till he’s competed as long as Thor has and he’s already won 2 WSM.
I said, a year or two ago, that if Tom Stoltman looks at something and decides to lift it, there's almost nothing he can't lift.... I don't think his mind has a limit... I've also said that there's about 6 years between Big Z and Shaw. There's about 6 years between Shaw and Thor (& Eddie) There's about 6 years between Thor and Tom Stoltman... Tom Stoltman might just be the heir apparent to long term dominance.
@@um8778 2017 to 2019 THOR (before WSM injury) was very complete. I remember him saying that he wanted be so strong that anyone trying to beat him would break trying.
Ridiculous take from Colin about Tom eclipsing peak Thor. Tom is world class, but at his best (2018-20) Thor was the best strongman ever to live (read: best not greatest, that accolade of course belongs to Z). He was top 3 in the world in pressing, deadlifting, squatting, throwing, grip holds, yoke walks, stones, loading, vehicle pulls, circus dumbell, and distance carries when he retired. His weakest event was farmer's walks/frame carries where he'd routinely place around 4th. For every event that Tom is one of the best at currently, Thor was right up there too. Tom may well be better than Thor ever was at stones, maybe loading, perhaps a few other events. But these are all small small margins. There are only a few events Tom is conceivably better than peak Thor at and all of those events, Thor was still world class at. Meanwhile, Thor was far better than Tom is today at deadlifting, squatting, and dumbell. The deadlift in particular is a massive disparity and given both its prominence in the sport and Thor's consistency in every other event, it's hard to see Tom today being the more complete strongman.
Wow I can’t wait tell Christmas. I get to open my presents from Santa, eat my cookies and milk but most exciting of all is the WSM. Yay!!!!! My favorite r the stoltmans. I want tommy to win this year that’s my Christmas wish
MY BIG BRO ALWAYS SAID TO ME IF YOU EVER END UP IN A FIGHT,DONT PISS ABOUT JUST HIT THEM AS HARD AS YOU CAN ON THE JAW AND YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY KNOCK THEM OUT COS THATS WHERE THE OFF SWITCH IS...
loved watching eddie hall get smacked around by hafthor he had to have the event rigged in 2017, lost his deadlift record to thor and now got beat the piss out of him
rigged? 😂 Thor was happy with what he got and then him and his team bitched about it after Eddie won. Thor is still the better strongman all around but we all have to agree that he was butt hurt that he lost 2017. Thor beats Eddie in a "boxing" match where they both looked sloppy...Thor did look much better after a few rounds. Thor was the better strongman all around for sure
eddie with his millions in cash, his beautiful wife and family, his successful media work and his title of worlds strongest man im sure will be devastated by your comment ;)
18:30 It's actually 50/50 among the best lifters (for males anyways) with more sumo lifters in the lower weight classes and more conventional lifters in the higher weight classes. Outside of the IPF, however, sumo profits more from softer and longer bars than conventional. And straps in training. That's how we're getting these ridiculous numbers. Not that Jamal or Wierzbicki wouldn't be ridiculous on a stiff bar but it's definitely a big factor. If one were to allow sumo in strongman, it'd probably have to be totally RAW on a stiff bar to not have sumo benefit more than conventional from reduced ROM, equipment etc.
Good points, but I still think sumo should be allowed in strongman when we are talking deadlifts on bar. The reason is that I remember Eddie saying that strongman is about getting a weight from A to B that's why in strongman they can uses multiple belts, straps and a suit. If someone needs to uses a sumo stance to get the weight from A to B then so be it, and at the end of the day both sumo and conventional entail a person picking a weight up from the floor with their legs and torso locked straight.
I had an idea for a TV program, now it seams somebody is reading my mind. My idea was not just strongmen, but 'the greats' from many fields, so like an amazing athlete, a great musician, a brilliant scientist, etc. 7 to make a team. The "Magnificent 7" travel the world, completing challenges. Then you could have The UK 7, the USA 7, the Aussie 7, etc. every now and then, they meet up and compete against each other.
Tom Stoltman is cool, but he's not even the best current strongman. He's just the best at winning WSM, where the events favor his height and reach. Licis, Novikov, and Mateusz are better overall strongmen. If Stoltman can put it all together and win some other comps, it'll be a different story.
Eddie definitely was the strongest ever (in terms of static strength) 500kg deadlift 216kg axle and ALMOST 230kg log with an injury. And he still had more in the tank, and he was 28 when he retired so he didnt even peak😂👑🐐
Most exciting fight I've seen! any punch could have been game over for the fight! never been so nerves and excited watching a fight. Great performance 👏
laughing a bit of how they wont talk about the scores/who won as they themselves have posted multiple places every score. Dont act like its any secret haha :)
Eddie I'm not your biggest fan but I don't dislike you either but you are the best shoulder presser I think ever seen, if you concentrated on just the shoulder press there isn't a guy walking the planet that could beat you
Great performance from Tom, but better than 2018 Thor? Come on now. The 2022 Arnold results quashes that. Thor dominated everything in strongman in 2018 and nearly equalled the all time power lifting record too. Crazy.
@@atodaso1668 Yeah. A 250kg bench when you don’t do bench in the sport your in is shocking. Still, even though he couldn’t bench it didn’t stop him nearly equalling the all time record at the time. Imagine what he could have done if he focused on bench.
@@atodaso1668 what’s funny? You realise Thor was as good as prime Eddie & better than Larry was on incline dumbbell bench? Eddie & Larry both flat benched often which is why their bench was so good. For Thor the power is there, the specificity for flat bench was not there
What is really like to know is when is WSM going back to finding the worlds strongest man and not “the worlds fastest big man carrying heavy stuff “ like Brian shaws new show is strength finding the strongest person
A bus pull, 2 events that most people couldn't finish, a WR 1 rep max overhead, sure the car deadlift could've been heavier but this was overall a heavy show.
@@oboroshogun a deadlift that two athletes couldn’t fit into to lift it properly two running events and most events this year were for reps not one rep max which shows the strongest person
Great catch up with the Beast great episode guys! what you said about the negativity around the fight the nasty comments are usually idiotic kids that know less than nothing or someone actually saying how they feel about theirself or their own life
How the heck is this the only sport where the fans can't watch the coverage and the events as they happen? Absolute fail on WSM. Other competitions have figured it out. BY the time they air, the fans aren't even watching, they already moved on to the next event/comp
Eddie "...it's in poor taste". When talking about the 'hate' he got after his loss to Thor. This from the guy who was totally toxic leading up to the fight. Poor wee snowflake.
@@fanfeck2844 they make money through advertising and views. The views were not very high and they lost views every time the stream cut out. They were set to make a million-ish a piece 2 years ago when the fight was maximum hype, the seating was bare bones and viewership was super low from what they thought they'd get. It's not that hard to figure that they probably made very little compared to what they would have made when people actually cared
Hafthor is still the best overall strongman as of yet. Tom can get there, but he still has a year or two to reach that level.
Brian and zydrunas were both stringer than thor
Have to agree, Tom hasn't yet won ASC. The overall best has to win both, preferably in the same year too.
@@joeysaks6516 Over a longer period? Agreed. Look at my profile picture. But Thor had incredible peak in 2018-19.

Lol Eddie blaming sOcIAl MeDiA for telling Thor's mum to shut up, making fun of aids, and spitting over a group of people.
Good chat
"Most guys can pull 500 kilos." - Eddie Hall
What a great contest
Emmmmm Eddie back on the Anadrol tv show should be a crack. Hope tom comes back next year
Strongman themed names for my cat ?
Brian Paw
Colin Mice
Felix (obviously)
Eddie smoking a sausage disguised as a cigar for extra shoulder protien for his showdown with Oberst
It sounds that DonnaMoore doesn't have ED, ... emotional damage😂
These men are great athletes much respect for these men
Nice 👌🏼
You 3 should do same a joe rogan but with sports and strength 💪 great fun to watch
Eddie definitely was the strongest ever (in terms of static strength) 500kg deadlift 216kg axle and ALMOST 230kg log with an injury. And he still had more in the tank, and he was 28 when he retired so he didnt even peak😂👑🐐
Thor 501kg deadlift, 480kg RAW deadlift (474 in comp), 460kg squat in comp, 213kg log very easily.
eddie had a lot of weak events though
Eddie did peak, and he burnt out HARD. that's why he retired, he couldn't compete
Should have gone into powerlifting rather than strongman as he never did well on anything else than static lifts
He peaked, he literally couldn't continue.
Eddie was the strongest man on earth the statik Strenght nobody has That
Hap-Thor...
Most exciting fight I've seen! any punch could have been game over for the fight! never been so nerves and excited watching a fight. Great performance 👏
you haven't seen many fight have you
Have you ever seen any other fight?
Ha na I'm in to ballet
laughing a bit of how they wont talk about the scores/who won as they themselves have posted multiple places every score. Dont act like its any secret haha :)
Love the Bill Clinton look boys
Eddie I'm not your biggest fan but I don't dislike you either but you are the best shoulder presser I think ever seen, if you concentrated on just the shoulder press there isn't a guy walking the planet that could beat you
Tbh they could do 4 sets of athletes male and female for standard and male and female for sumo its not hard to do for these guys to set up.
Great performance from Tom, but better than 2018 Thor? Come on now. The 2022 Arnold results quashes that. Thor dominated everything in strongman in 2018 and nearly equalled the all time power lifting record too. Crazy.
Thor cant bench for shit
@@atodaso1668 Yeah. A 250kg bench when you don’t do bench in the sport your in is shocking. Still, even though he couldn’t bench it didn’t stop him nearly equalling the all time record at the time. Imagine what he could have done if he focused on bench.
@@atodaso1668 250kg paused is a lot better than most in strongman would bench with 4 weeks of prep. Give him 12-16 weeks of prep he’d smash 270+
@@joshbrooker5819 lol
@@atodaso1668 what’s funny? You realise Thor was as good as prime Eddie & better than Larry was on incline dumbbell bench? Eddie & Larry both flat benched often which is why their bench was so good. For Thor the power is there, the specificity for flat bench was not there
What is really like to know is when is WSM going back to finding the worlds strongest man and not “the worlds fastest big man carrying heavy stuff “ like Brian shaws new show is strength finding the strongest person
A bus pull, 2 events that most people couldn't finish, a WR 1 rep max overhead, sure the car deadlift could've been heavier but this was overall a heavy show.
The Arnold's and Shaw Classic have been way stronger shows recently than WSM. But WSM still had a lot of people not finish a lot of the weights.
@@oboroshogun a deadlift that two athletes couldn’t fit into to lift it properly two running events and most events this year were for reps not one rep max which shows the strongest person
Hey Eddie, what cigar were you smoking?!?!?!?
Eddie is the Beast for a reason. When you step into a ring it takes balls whether they are 200kg or 55kg absolute LEGEND.
Most people would if they got paid what they did
Just acting to cover up the plan that was busted
Boo hoo
@@fanfeck2844 yoo hoo🤣
Great catch up with the Beast great episode guys! what you said about the negativity around the fight the nasty comments are usually idiotic kids that know less than nothing or someone actually saying how they feel about theirself or their own life
Everyone needs to stop making excuses for Novikov jesus christ!
eddie smokes?
Impressive numbers for sure by people who pull sumo and it's impressive but it shouldn't be in strongman. Never has been and shouldn't be
How the heck is this the only sport where the fans can't watch the coverage and the events as they happen? Absolute fail on WSM. Other competitions have figured it out. BY the time they air, the fans aren't even watching, they already moved on to the next event/comp
Smoking is cool, kids...
Eddie "...it's in poor taste". When talking about the 'hate' he got after his loss to Thor.
This from the guy who was totally toxic leading up to the fight.
Poor wee snowflake.
That’s called selling a fight. Do you think they’d have made the millions they did if it was left to dull Thor to promote it?
@@fanfeck2844 that production was a horrid mess, I doubt either of them made over 500k
@@floridamanHooning sorry I didn’t realise you were in on the deal, when it took place
I thought he was promoting 300 with his Ephialtes impression!
@@fanfeck2844 they make money through advertising and views. The views were not very high and they lost views every time the stream cut out. They were set to make a million-ish a piece 2 years ago when the fight was maximum hype, the seating was bare bones and viewership was super low from what they thought they'd get. It's not that hard to figure that they probably made very little compared to what they would have made when people actually cared
👍
yeah... avoid the slap fighting, Eddie. It's volunteering to take guaranteed head trauma.
No Sumo.
