It's easy to tell from the comments who has followed Brian's strong man career. He has always only showed what he wants you to see! Brian will take the win.
long time follower of Brian here, I really don't think he used poor technique on purpose for that video. Eddie absolutely moves better and that's genuine, but Brian still has time to prepare and refocus on the fundamentals. also, Eddie could get on the big stage and pull differently than during practice, this happens all the time. Im not saying Eddie will win but he moves better as of about 1 week ago. also some other comments made a good point. Brian's form probably got worse because he's pulling against someone as dominant as Devon. his form would probably look way better against Neil.
This is a commonly used cope used by fanboys of famous athletes. Eddie Hall fanboys said the same shit before he boxed Thor. Brian in strongman showed very little of his lifts but he didn't intentionally try to look bad. What you're suggesting is he's trying to fake how bad he looks to throw Eddie off, which just isn't the case.
People get stronger every year and Eddie has won more recently than Brian so he’s a stronger individual. Also he has stronger records than Brian. Obviously neither of them are as strong as the strongest man ever (Tom Stoltman) but it will be an interesting match. Brian has the height and large hand but he’s not very bright. Eddie has the brains and the superior strength
Brian, even in strongman, didnt post much on his training leading up to any competition. He lets the hard work do the talking on show day. I think people are gonna be surprised
@@wickywills But what he showed you was not his best. When he uploads training videos, that footage is always a few weeks old. So that was to make his competitors think that "oh he is that strong, but i can manage that", and on the day of the event they would think "Oh he is THAT strong, way stronger than in his latest video".
8:00 this was something I thought about the moment that match was announced. When two guys that strong and that inexperienced are matched up at the table, the chances of an injury increase dramatically.
One thing not mentioned, is Brian's Size advantage. Long levers, huge hands, grip strength, specific advantage for arm wrestling. And cannot underestimate Devon as a trainer, I don't think anybody in the game knows more than Devon. I'm rooting for both men, massive fan of each of them. Just hope it's a close match and we get some wins on each side.
As a counterpoint, Devon is so pronator dominant that he is the worst analog for a pro armwrestler, let alone a largely untrained Eddie Hall. Also Devon mentally connects with Armwrestling in such a tactile way, he’s never been very concise coaching others (Juji, Larry, etc). Whereas Neil, and even Auden are clearly more polished at concisely demonstrating techniques.
@@TzeentchLordofChange Before either of them started training, Eddie won. The next time, Brian won after headbutting a beardless Eddie. And the more recent time, which I assume you are referring to, was when Brian had already been in training for months..
As someone who had a devious start into AR and took a lot of wrong detours before I really knew something, I learned two lessons that might be universal for newbies who rely on figuring out things primarily on your own: 1, most lifts you are doing won't work or translate to the table before you really understand exactly from where you are exerting your force(know how to pull). 2, you need a fool-proof way to know how to pull and feel where your force is generated, not a detailed, philosophical way to inspire you more on your non-existing ideas. Abstract knowledge will (almost always) confuse you and drive you to some pseudo imitation training that you think is working but actually not, because you are not hitting the correct chain, however similar it might seem to your untrained eyes.
Brian looks super clunky when he’s training with Devon who is stonewalling him while teaching him at the same time, Eddie would look just has awkward if he was training against people far superior than him, Brian top roll looked great in his mock match because… he’s was armwrestling a lower level opponent.
I don’t know if anyone here follows the UFC, but Dana White made slap fight a major thing. Imagine if he can do the same thing with arm wrestling more people would watch it. He would have all the arm wrestler staying in the house like they do with the slap fighters. Imagine people like Devon Travis, michael and others. I can keep naming living in the house super matches every other weekend. That would be TV gold. It would destroy the slap fight numbers. Brian and Eddie getting involved is what will make Dana here about this and other small time promoter is already talking about it
Dana was offered Arm Wrestling and instead he chose slap fighting. It's time to move on Arm Wrestling will never become mainstream because most matches end quickly and aren't competitive its only interesting when both opponents are evenly matched.
Arm wrestling is full of ped abuse tho... if you want it to be mainstream, you have to clean up the sport first. Hard to grow a sport when peds are a prerequisite for anyone wanting to go anywhere..
Arm wrestling is in every British working class boozer up and down the land, Eddie's been arm wrestling since he was a little kid. Brian's amateur experience? I think would depend on what cultural background he comes from? But as a strongman he might have started gaining experience there, but the risk injury when your purpose is to compete in strongman makes the amateur group much smaller.
Nobody here mentioned this.. Eddie was is the best static strongman ever. Nobody matched him in static press and that relates very well to arm wrestling. Eddie might make it look easy
That video u saw of Brian Devon showed me that they pulled a lot. So much the people in the background including Auden weren't even paying attention. Devon can be a really good coach especially with Auden watching from further back. Brian is a very fast learner so I'm guess what they post and what we'll see are two different things. It also could have been Brians first experience getting stopped. Id say it's easier to have good form if you are in control.
I respect these guys opinion but I gotta say this feels an awful lot like they are trying to keep interest up on what will likely be a non-match. Brain beat Eddie pretty handily back before he even started learning to pull. Back when they were just fooling around. So all of Eddies so called experience didn't seem to have amounted to much. More importantly, Eddie has only been able to commit a fraction of his time to arm wrestling, while preparing for a fight. Meanwhile Brian has been focusing on arm wrestling for the better part of a year. And lets not even talk about all the signs of injury that Eddie has been showing in his videos. I like Eddie and hope it turns out to be a good match, but I just don't see it being anything but a stunning defeat.
Eddie beat Brian years ago when Eddie did a little bit of training, then recently Brian beat Eddie after a little bit of training, so this will be interesting now both have been doing a lot of training..
Since Devon only showed one pull with Brian, I bet you anything that he said, "Hey, let's film one where you look like a total noob!". I wouldn't put it past them. Brian also does the thing where he shows only what he wants others to see.
I was looking for someone who had the mirror idea I had. I'm willing to bet Devon and Brian set that up specifically to get people talking and it's working. As if Devon wouldn't have coached him through that motion?
@@jakefuller5416 Lol! Did you see the ShawStrength video that just dropped? Same stuff. Foot dominance. LOL! And, they said, foot training is enough, we'll call it there. Now, just rehab and you're all good. They are so trolling everybody.
@Real_LiamOBryan wouldn't expect anything less. Like others have said, Brian has never showed his full game plan in the lead up to strongman comps, why would he do it for this? Combine Devon's inside knowledge of what is good to know and what to show and trolling content to keep people guessing of Brian's true form. He no doubt is still very green (as am I) but I don't think he's as rigid as the last video shows.
Eddie is one of the strongest in the world in terms of static strength. Hook and back pressure combo is the best move for him imo, he can generate insane force without much movement
Crisp analysis as always guys. Thanks for sharing. I agree, Eddie moves better more fluidly. But of course i can only judge by the pictures we have. Could be much more interesting and closer between them than claimed by the majority of fans. Let's see....
I still think Brian takes it pretty easily after a few seconds of fight. That practice video with Brian and Brandon Allen and another dude convinced me that Brian can beat Eddie at least.
@JonathanBixby-k2h iv followed Brian for over a decade. I know he wasn't putting much effort against devon. Clap back after the match and learn something kid
I’ve also been following both of them for roughly 5 ish years now, I can safely say that I think both have a fair chance against each other, but Brian’s videos do look less promising from a techniques standpoint. He is stronger though.
@@wickywills did you listen to the recording? It didn't say anything about 'heavily' favourable events. It was more about pushing his 'beast' brand, anyone that thinks Eddie's win was because he had help is StOOpiD AF! This all started because Thor is a big fookin' baby man, couldn't take it losing to Eddie when everyone was saying it was Thor's year, he didn't say anything about the events until he lost, funny that isn't it. And if this was all true about the events all being in Eddie's favour, why wasn't the events like this every year Eddie competed? Because it's bollocks, Luke even said it was just edited and clipped to make it sound like he meant it was fixed, StOOpiD people won't want to listen to that though.. 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Brian has the greater physical tools for the sport, but yes he is way more clunky on the table. He needs table time table time table time. Get the motions get the coordination down and he will be so much better.
Brian isn't so much stronger than Eddie that misconception that is in some folk's heads. Eddie has lifted more than Brian yes back in the day. How much has Eddie lost strength wise since he retired? I have no clue and Brian likes to say he keeps up with his strength. I agree with what little i know as being new to the whole Armwrestling thing. I too think Eddie looks more natural in what we have seen. Its a toss up at this stage and maybe that's a good thing because not knowing the outcome is what makes any competition exciting. Either way like any competition regardless of who wins you just hope nobody gets hurt.
Yeah, Eddie looks better in technique but being honest Brian looks like that because that table is too small for him, he seems to battle with table size, but it is important since this match between Brian and Eddie is bringing more attention to arm wrestling.
From that part 6 Building The Beast video, Eddie is looking dangerous with getting the body movements refined. And he's really getting into it, and feeling things out and not just following instructions. At first I was thinking "no chance" for Eddie, but now I don't know.
Eddie moves better on table, but Brian has been developing arm wrestling specific strength for a year now, such as pronation, back pressure etc. As good as Eddie moves, it’s not gonna to matter if he loses his hand from the start and Brian’s arm doesn’t move off center lol
Love both the guys, so not bothered who wins, probably best for the career that Brian wins, as this is 1 and done for Eddie no matter what the outcome is, but Brian is all in on this journey, i have to say I'm no expert in Armwrestling, but Eddie does look a lot better upto now, and those saying Brian isn't showing us everything, yes i agree but the same goes for Eddie too.. 🤷🏻♂️ this is going to be Strength vs Technique so should be a good and interesting match.. good luck fellas 👊🏻💪🏻
Shaw is a teddy bear on video. In competition, he is a ball of hate and anger. He has shown nothing on video that translates to how he will pull in a match.
Brian will win. But what we don't know is how easily. If he struggles majorly against Eddie that will be a concern, because Eddie isn't supposed to be a challenge for him.
Interesting, wasn't expecting to hear Eddie as a potential favourite. I'd love to see a close match that goes all the way (including no injuries) and it'd be great if Eddie wins. Considering what else Eddie is training for though, I still suspect Brian cares more about this, I don't get the impression this was meant to be a career move for Eddie whereas Brian it seems that way. All that means I have Brian as the favourite still, but I'm optimistic it could be close. Winner vs Big Loz perhaps?
If Eddie goes inside and forward and Brian goes outside and back, Eddie wins. Outside takes years to be able to apply full strength. Two years from now, Brian will be different, If he doesn’t get seriously injured. Just my opinion. If they hook and drag, probably Brian
I don’t think Brian gets low enough under/below the table when he tries to pin! You gotta get down low when you’re pinning someone with a top roll! Eddie looks good with his form and keeps the same angle with his entire body the whole way down! Brian doesn’t keep the same position with his body the lower he gets into the pin!
I don’t know, when i was watching that brian shaw supermatch on his channel, in the 2nd round when he was in the strap it looked very impressive, all his levers and advantages came into play there, looked promising.
I’m excited for this match. I’m more excited the matches these guys hopefully start having 3-4 months from now against other legitimate arm wrestlers. I want to see their hard work and progression.
Brian is smart verry smart he will probably only show you what he wants you to see. Brian is also exceptionaly strong. I doubt brians arm will even move from center.
Tbf to eddie he does look more comfortable at the table and more natural, that could be down to the size of brian shaw tho, but im going for a eddie hall win or brian shaw win via injuring Eddie's bicep, also I see people say brian shaw is stronger everywhere that's just not true static pressing eddie wins all day and he's also stronger in other places aswel
Eddie’s ego won’t let him quit. He’ll tear something up in his arm before he surrenders. Either that or Brian will back down when he senses he’s about to tear Eddie’s arm off.
Yanis is super correct all table time is the most important. Brians to worried about weight training for arm wrestling rather then dping armwrestling itself. This will be interesting we dont know they could be bluffing on what they show. Funniest part of all almost everyone does not ever think they may not be showing us everything.
I think most of us, when we started arm wrestling, wanted to be strong as hell and beat everyone. We want to train and compete with each other because it’s fun and makes us happy. I’m wondering if Brian feels the same way, but I’m not sure I get that vibe from him.
Soo Brian is actually committing to armwrestling . Eddie is a draw and an interesting first match to launch Brian's career. Eddie won't be able to handle the levers of brian and if im Brian's im looking to hang out with Vitaly before the match a bit.
Brian has always been a secretive with his training, and Devon won't allow footage he doesn't want released to be taken! You guys are sleeping on Brian. The cerebral assassin he is widely known as one of the smartest and most competitive WSM.
that's what i said on their videos brian looks very stiff and still uses a lot of his bicep power .but i still think he beats eddie .but eddie would do awesome at aw if he got the bug serious
Brian only looks clunky against devon. When he pulled at branden allens house he looked much better than when hes pulling with devon. I don't think the way he pulls devon in any way shows how he's going to pull eddie. I want a gooe fight with NO INJURIES! Neils hinted at the hook and flop press from eddie and that sounds like a very dangous position to put a new armwrestler.
Eddie looked good. Brian i noticed looks like he has trouble dropping down and to the side because he is so overly massive. I cant believe eddie is going to fight pudanowski in mma in January. Good lord 😬😬😬
Even little Larry smokes Eddie and Larry loses to everybody. I would love to know what "supermatches" Eddie has had other than with Lalas, which def was fake
@@Bricknose91most guys would beat people when they've been training in Armwrestling and their opponent hasn't.. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Eddie hasn't had any super matches at all, he did a little bit of training almost 10 years ago, and did 1 Armwrestle at a strongman show against Lalas (who'd been training in AW for years then) and lost. So wasn't a proper match, but definitely not fake. He also gave Brian 1 Armwrestle around that time too and he beat Brian easily. This is the first time Eddie has been training in AW properly in over 8 years, so understandable he lost to Larry, and then also lost to Brian who'd been doing a bit of training too.
Brian is a complete professional, he isn't posting his actual stuff. He posted the stuff from when they were working on specific things. Brian's practice match vs Kris was a very different thing. I don't think you two really understand what is going on in these videos. SMH
Hmmm I think this is the first time I've ever disagreed with your guys assessment on this channel. I think Brian's technique is looking better than Eddie's. Honestly what do I know. Lol. Gonna be a fun match for sure!!! 💯💥
completely agree with Janis and ray, Brian looks very uncoordinated and doesn’t seem to have any proficiency in the inside while Eddie looks far more coordinated especially with his shoulder coming forward to the inside, also if you look at Eddie and Brian’s historic strength Eddie has stronger chest and lats which although are only one part of the chain used arm wrestling are important nonetheless
If I had to bet, I would bet on Eddie. I think it gonna be interesting. The worst case for us viewers and Armwrestling fans would be if Eddie flashpins Brian a couple of times. I see the possibility.
Eddie literally admitted in his video with Neil that Brian's back is stronger. Video was uploaded on the 13th of Oct. on Eddie's channel. It's around 6 minutes and 30 seconds in.
Why do you act like we didn't already see Brian totally destroy Eddie in armwrestling video they did on Brian channel. To the point Eddie's arm got injured... Are we gonna pretend like is a close match to hype up KOTT and sale more pay per view... 😅😅😅😅😅
I think the only reason why eddie looks like moving more fluent is because he does not train with Devon who is stonewalling Brian. I dont know who will win, I only think it's easier to look good when your trainer is weaker.
From the videos, Eddie looks to be more athletic, more natural. Whether that is the case and whether it matters, i guess we might see. I find it pretty interesting when 2 guys of different heights can pull similar weight and how that may relate to different practical things. Speculating is pretty pointless though, and this comment serves zero purpose.
When did Eddie compete in armwrestling? The first video I saw of him armwrestling was playing around on the table with Brian, and he looked totally clueless and uncoordinated.
He never completed in Armwrestling, he just did a little bit of training nearly 10 years ago, and did a single Armwrestle with Lalas at a strongman event and lost. But he also did one with Brian a little time after and Eddie won. But he hasn't done any training for all that time so was obviously not gonna look to good against Brian when Brian had been training in it already, should be a good match now both have been doing a bit of training, I don't get why people are arguing so much about who will win, good luck to both of them, both are great guys, and the best of friends too.
Man these guys hate Devon Larrat soooo bad. lol they hate him cuz he’s good and knows how to pick up some heat and excitement for a match. Obviously bias for eddies lameass just because you don’t like Devon. Super lame yall
Everyone's winning!
This match gives good visibility to the sport.

I too think Eddie looks more natural in what we have seen. Its a toss up at this stage and maybe that's a good thing because not knowing the outcome is what makes any competition exciting. Either way like any competition regardless of who wins you just hope nobody gets hurt.
Lalas vs Magnus who wins?

"YOU'RE MA BOY BLUE!!!!"
Yeah, Eddie looks better in technique but being honest Brian looks like that because that table is too small for him, he seems to battle with table size, but it is important since this match between Brian and Eddie is bringing more attention to arm wrestling.
Both guys are amazing. Both guys are professional athletes. They will surprise you
From that part 6 Building The Beast video, Eddie is looking dangerous with getting the body movements refined. And he's really getting into it, and feeling things out and not just following instructions.
At first I was thinking "no chance" for Eddie, but now I don't know.
Brian Shaw got this all day.🎉
Eddie moves better on table, but Brian has been developing arm wrestling specific strength for a year now, such as pronation, back pressure etc. As good as Eddie moves, it’s not gonna to matter if he loses his hand from the start and Brian’s arm doesn’t move off center lol
Love both the guys, so not bothered who wins, probably best for the career that Brian wins, as this is 1 and done for Eddie no matter what the outcome is, but Brian is all in on this journey, i have to say I'm no expert in Armwrestling, but Eddie does look a lot better upto now, and those saying Brian isn't showing us everything, yes i agree but the same goes for Eddie too.. 🤷🏻♂️ this is going to be Strength vs Technique so should be a good and interesting match.. good luck fellas 👊🏻💪🏻
Crazy how far arm wrestling has come in around 10 years.
I agree with Ray . Brian is looking to use his arm where Eddie seems to have a better connection to his structure .
Shaw is a teddy bear on video. In competition, he is a ball of hate and anger. He has shown nothing on video that translates to how he will pull in a match.
Brian will win. But what we don't know is how easily. If he struggles majorly against Eddie that will be a concern, because Eddie isn't supposed to be a challenge for him.
Interesting, wasn't expecting to hear Eddie as a potential favourite. I'd love to see a close match that goes all the way (including no injuries) and it'd be great if Eddie wins. Considering what else Eddie is training for though, I still suspect Brian cares more about this, I don't get the impression this was meant to be a career move for Eddie whereas Brian it seems that way. All that means I have Brian as the favourite still, but I'm optimistic it could be close.
Winner vs Big Loz perhaps?
Armwrestling is all they need now. Just constant arm wrestling
I just hope that neither one gets injured and stops pursuing aarm wrestling because of injury.
If Eddie goes inside and forward and Brian goes outside and back, Eddie wins. Outside takes years to be able to apply full strength. Two years from now, Brian will be different,
If he doesn’t get seriously injured. Just my opinion. If they hook and drag, probably Brian
Nice video with no nonsense from experts in the field. Thanks!
I don’t think Brian gets low enough under/below the table when he tries to pin! You gotta get down low when you’re pinning someone with a top roll! Eddie looks good with his form and keeps the same angle with his entire body the whole way down! Brian doesn’t keep the same position with his body the lower he gets into the pin!
Love listening to janis give his thoughts. Well thought out
great commentary gentlemen.
agreed and Janis's shirt is fire! going to get that one!
0:50 that part
I rooting for brian. Love em both so either way im not mad. I think itll be good. I just worry for brian not being explosive enough
I don’t know, when i was watching that brian shaw supermatch on his channel, in the 2nd round when he was in the strap it looked very impressive, all his levers and advantages came into play there, looked promising.
I’m excited for this match. I’m more excited the matches these guys hopefully start having 3-4 months from now against other legitimate arm wrestlers. I want to see their hard work and progression.
From what I've heard, Eddie Hall doesn't intend on becoming an arm wrestler.
Eddie is 1 and done, he's doing MMA, he only took this match because Brian challenged him.
Brian is smart verry smart he will probably only show you what he wants you to see. Brian is also exceptionaly strong. I doubt brians arm will even move from center.
Tbf to eddie he does look more comfortable at the table and more natural, that could be down to the size of brian shaw tho, but im going for a eddie hall win or brian shaw win via injuring Eddie's bicep, also I see people say brian shaw is stronger everywhere that's just not true static pressing eddie wins all day and he's also stronger in other places aswel
Great thoughts and predictions! I'm a 15 year old armwrestler, love from Mexico!
Eddie might surprise all of us!
How many people payed attention to Brian pulling Devon in that video? about the same number of people who noticed, apparently
Eddie’s ego won’t let him quit. He’ll tear something up in his arm before he surrenders. Either that or Brian will back down when he senses he’s about to tear Eddie’s arm off.
Yanis is super correct all table time is the most important. Brians to worried about weight training for arm wrestling rather then dping armwrestling itself. This will be interesting we dont know they could be bluffing on what they show. Funniest part of all almost everyone does not ever think they may not be showing us everything.
The issue with arm wrestling is that no one can just jump even if they are crazy strong.
So any noob gets owned and the interest gets lost.
I think most of us, when we started arm wrestling, wanted to be strong as hell and beat everyone. We want to train and compete with each other because it’s fun and makes us happy. I’m wondering if Brian feels the same way, but I’m not sure I get that vibe from him.
Brian trains to win, not to be friends. He has a champion mind set.
@@1sweet_ta yeah he wouldn't even start this journey unless he thought in his head he could be the best someday.
Eddie will try his best to gas Brian out but if Brian has worked out his transition into a press then Eddie won’t be able to stop him.
Soo Brian is actually committing to armwrestling . Eddie is a draw and an interesting first match to launch Brian's career. Eddie won't be able to handle the levers of brian and if im Brian's im looking to hang out with Vitaly before the match a bit.
Brian has always been a secretive with his training, and Devon won't allow footage he doesn't want released to be taken! You guys are sleeping on Brian. The cerebral assassin he is widely known as one of the smartest and most competitive WSM.
When brian gets competitive he goes 100% no matter what.
I feel like Brian is going to run out of gas, and Eddie wins just by being more patient, im sure Niel is teaching him also for endurance
Brian will probably win simply because he wants it more. Eddie kinda lets Brian have the mental edge on him.
How good/strong was the guy brian brought i to his gym that he beat?
Totally agree with these to professionals.
Brian will overpower Eddie and win, but Eddies technique will be better and he will surprise so many people when he stops Brians surge.
that's what i said on their videos brian looks very stiff and still uses a lot of his bicep power .but i still think he beats eddie .but eddie would do awesome at aw if he got the bug serious
Brian only looks clunky against devon. When he pulled at branden allens house he looked much better than when hes pulling with devon. I don't think the way he pulls devon in any way shows how he's going to pull eddie. I want a gooe fight with NO INJURIES! Neils hinted at the hook and flop press from eddie and that sounds like a very dangous position to put a new armwrestler.
Supermatch - ray vs Janis today… who takes it??
Eddie looked good. Brian i noticed looks like he has trouble dropping down and to the side because he is so overly massive. I cant believe eddie is going to fight pudanowski in mma in January. Good lord 😬😬😬
I don't think that Eddie has a lot of experience besides a few hours with Neil. And match with Lalas seems fake to me
Even little Larry smokes Eddie and Larry loses to everybody. I would love to know what "supermatches" Eddie has had other than with Lalas, which def was fake
@@Bricknose91most guys would beat people when they've been training in Armwrestling and their opponent hasn't.. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Eddie hasn't had any super matches at all, he did a little bit of training almost 10 years ago, and did 1 Armwrestle at a strongman show against Lalas (who'd been training in AW for years then) and lost. So wasn't a proper match, but definitely not fake.
He also gave Brian 1 Armwrestle around that time too and he beat Brian easily.
This is the first time Eddie has been training in AW properly in over 8 years, so understandable he lost to Larry, and then also lost to Brian who'd been doing a bit of training too.
Brian „RIP Levan“ Shaw
Brian will win no competition. BUT, we all will win
I think Brian can learn it and can be quicker I think
This conversation I agree with.
Will there be a press conference for this match? That will be a good laugh if there is, they'll be missing a trick if not 💯
Dont worry, there is always a press conference. The day before
@Lagia7 that will be a good one, have to admit I'm a new fan, so looking forward to it all.. 👌🏼
Brian is a complete professional, he isn't posting his actual stuff. He posted the stuff from when they were working on specific things. Brian's practice match vs Kris was a very different thing. I don't think you two really understand what is going on in these videos. SMH
I mean Eddie can also be another big guy to join armwrestling
Hmmm I think this is the first time I've ever disagreed with your guys assessment on this channel. I think Brian's technique is looking better than Eddie's. Honestly what do I know. Lol.
Gonna be a fun match for sure!!! 💯💥
completely agree with Janis and ray, Brian looks very uncoordinated and doesn’t seem to have any proficiency in the inside while Eddie looks far more coordinated especially with his shoulder coming forward to the inside, also if you look at Eddie and Brian’s historic strength Eddie has stronger chest and lats which although are only one part of the chain used arm wrestling are important nonetheless
If I had to bet, I would bet on Eddie. I think it gonna be interesting. The worst case for us viewers and Armwrestling fans would be if Eddie flashpins Brian a couple of times. I see the possibility.
They’ve pulled before, Brian knows Eddies lane. Brian 3-0
@@JBtheWARVillainwhen they pulled before Brian was moving his arm into position
Eddie literally admitted in his video with Neil that Brian's back is stronger. Video was uploaded on the 13th of Oct. on Eddie's channel. It's around 6 minutes and 30 seconds in.
Why do you act like we didn't already see Brian totally destroy Eddie in armwrestling video they did on Brian channel. To the point Eddie's arm got injured... Are we gonna pretend like is a close match to hype up KOTT and sale more pay per view... 😅😅😅😅😅
Come on guys... Stop that.
After the training of Neil Pickup, it will be very different. Eddie seems to have a faster start. Brian will defend and try to counter.
Do people not realize this is at least the 3rd time Neil has taught Eddie how to arm wrestle? They're all on camera too from years back
@@jolteon1019🤣🤣🤣 come back to reality buddy
I love Brian but Eddie moves much better. It's taking a little bit more time for Brian to catch up
I don't think Bryan is showing all of his training. I definitely agree it will be a good match, no definite winner.
I think the only reason why eddie looks like moving more fluent is because he does not train with Devon who is stonewalling Brian. I dont know who will win, I only think it's easier to look good when your trainer is weaker.
Well , Eddie is playing around with AW , Brian says he is in it for the long haul.
Brian looks like he can't decide which is the most efficient move or position for him.
I would put money on Brian Shaw
From the videos, Eddie looks to be more athletic, more natural. Whether that is the case and whether it matters, i guess we might see. I find it pretty interesting when 2 guys of different heights can pull similar weight and how that may relate to different practical things. Speculating is pretty pointless though, and this comment serves zero purpose.
When did Eddie compete in armwrestling? The first video I saw of him armwrestling was playing around on the table with Brian, and he looked totally clueless and uncoordinated.
He never completed in Armwrestling, he just did a little bit of training nearly 10 years ago, and did a single Armwrestle with Lalas at a strongman event and lost. But he also did one with Brian a little time after and Eddie won. But he hasn't done any training for all that time so was obviously not gonna look to good against Brian when Brian had been training in it already, should be a good match now both have been doing a bit of training, I don't get why people are arguing so much about who will win, good luck to both of them, both are great guys, and the best of friends too.
Easy match for Brain, I now you trying to sell the match , but you guys are só cool.
Curious if we'll witness any flop wrist action
I'm going with Brian my country man but never underestimate Eddie
Eddie pegou as técnicas bem mais rápido que Brian
Eddie está aprendendo muito rápido
Coach Ray you and Jeti go help Big B
I think you’re wrong tbh even after considering it thoroughly. Brian will probably crush him 6-0
Put some money on the line, bet for Eddie now! 😜
8:07 when did Janis started taking singing lessons 🤔😂
Man these guys hate Devon Larrat soooo bad. lol they hate him cuz he’s good and knows how to pick up some heat and excitement for a match. Obviously bias for eddies lameass just because you don’t like Devon. Super lame yall
Ooohhhhhhhhh Devon burn, get ready to get some heat by Devon
Devon wasnt struggling with brian at all just to put that out there and brian has a big ego he wont let devon really teach him
