  • Can BRIAN SHAW win a 5th World's Strongest Man title?
    If he does win again he = ''Most Ever Wins'' (5) by Mariusz Pudzianowski.
    BIG question is - ''is Brian past his best''?
    Can Shaw win WSM for the USA once again?
    With his other victories and podium finishes surely that would make Brian the Strongest-of-all-Time - but would it take the 5th title to cement the position as arguably the GOAT - or should it be SOAT?
    Filmmaker Andrew B. Quinn looks into the outstanding career of one of Strongman's true Legends. He also delves into Brian's relative lack of success at World's Strongest Man in the last few years.
    Should Brian have won 6 titles already? Rules and rulings at WSM seemingly conspired against him on more than one occasion!
    Brian Shaw's WSM Career:
    The 6ft 10 inch, 400 pound - 39-year old from Colorado has taken part in some of the most epic and controversial WSM Finals ever.
    Shaw burst onto the scene in 2009 at WSM - taking 3rd place.
    Shaw won his first WSM title in 2011 and over the course of the next 6 years shared the most coveted trophy in Strongman with his greatest rival - Zydrunas Savickas.
    Having achieved his 4th title in 2016 - the elusive 5th title - which would equal the most titles of all time by Mariusz Pudzianowski - has proved very hard to achieve.
    After a series of mid-range finishes since 2018 - the question is - can Shaw reach his Holy Grail before losing the inevitable fight with Father Time?
    Also Featuring:
    - Eddie HALL 2017 World's Strongest Man.
    - Hafþór BJORNSSON 2018 World's Strongest Man.
    - Bill KAZMAIER 3x World’s Strongest Man.
    - Zydrunas SAVICKAS 4x World’s Strongest Man.
    - Mike BURKE 4x World’s Strongest Man Competitor.
    - Martins LICIS 2019 World’s Strongest Man.

    If you look at Brian's performance at the Shaw Classic last year you can see he is still very hungry to get a 5th WSM under his belt & that he is still one of the top strongman right now. Since strongman is not just about who can win a single event but who can place high enough in every event that wins in the end & with Brian working to regain the speed he had when he won his first 2 WSM titles and still getting stronger as well I believe he can still win #5.

I think when someone who doesn't know you, and has nothing to gain out of being nice still says words of encouragement and appreciation, that is when reading praise must be truly appreciated.

Big Z, and Magnus judge, eddie hall commentates and still is active. but it seems like everyone has forgot about Mariusz Pudzianowski's run. Or it seems like he has fallen off the planet. From the little I have heard about him he was a complete badass. Also the only multiple winner that I can think of that had that shredded bod.

      To be fair Big z did 14 worlds strongest men and only got 4. Where as Pudz did like 9, got 5 first places, 2 second places and 1 disqualified, and his first one when he was just starting off and experimenting strongest man, he got 4th.
      Pudz only trained serious for the strongest man 7 times and in those 7 times were the 5 wins, 1 disqualified and 1 second. What I'm saying is that if Pudz did it 14 years seriously like Big Z, Pudz would have about 10 wins.

    To some people who said Brian Shaw is already washed up was basically too harsh and did not respect the man's ethics.
    The Man's himself is always on the Top 10 Final WSM since 2009 and never been in qualified status since then. With the many titles he holds while also being the Top 10 finals (including in the podium sessions) in the World for more than a decade CONSISTENTLY was never an easy hurdle. While some younger competitor like Eddie and Hafthor had already retired from the sport, he's still the game even when he's older than both of them. But no offense both Eddie and Hafthor is still good tho.
    I salute him for being consistently hungry towards his ambition while also maintaining his health without being too far away to the limit .... and I still really hope he could win the 5th title someday for the sake of his worthy prolonged strongman career
