Brian is the man! Easily one of the biggest, strongest and most humblest man to walk this earth 💯 I respect everything he has done for the sport and whilst being one of the greatest to ever do it he always stayed the same and never let it get to his head and think he was better than anyone the man is the meaning of humble! Enjoy the retirement big man you earned it 💪❤

[@star08094]

One of the only athletes an interviewer/commentator is never against handing the mic to. All around, Brian is a class act. What he's done for this sport will continue for the future of strong man. So humble, down to earth and genuine. It's impossible to root against him

[@rthelionheart]

A man of faith also. Nothing but the utmost respect for who he is as an individual and as an athlete.

[@gibsonatorhb6691]

I am so glad I was there in person for this. It's a memory I'll never forget. Thank you Brian!

What Brian did for the sport should go down in history. Though strongman may not be on the level of team sports, the evolution of the sport and its popularity should be well credited to Brian. While he wasn’t the only one who brought more light into the sport, I think he’s the one guy who made it more appealing to athletes looking to get into it. Being able to provide these guys better financial gain from contests, more time in mainstream media, and just being extremely passionate about the sport is amazing. I consider myself blessed to have been able to follow Brian’s career from beginning to end. Can’t wait to see what he continues to do to evolve the sport further. Who knows. Maybe one day we’ll get a live broadcast of WSM in the US.

I loved seeing the emotion from the biggest, strongest, and Best, softie around! Mr Nick Best!!!! It shows how close of friends those 2 have become and how much it meant to Nick to see Brian go out on top!

[@NAguitarist]

Congratulations on an amazing career to one of the men who got me started in strength sports! Brian is a great competitor and even better man!

[@dinointhetube]

Strong man talk about emotional I think it overcame him😢well done Brian. So much luv for this guy 👍

[@julian8786]

Imagine going out on top against the best in the world in arguably one of the hardest competitions. He best the last 3 worlds stro gest man winners, scl winner, multiple giants live winners, europe strongest man winners. He will always be great not just for the titles but because of his character.

[@michaelclendon6997]

The genuine outpouring of love and support at the end from all the other athletes bloody got me man. So special for the younger generations to see that even arguably, the manliest of men on the face of this planet still understand that its important to be compassionate and vulnerable just as much as it is to be staunch and strong. Bravo

[@user-vy8jr8sb6t]

How can you not love Brian, so sad to see him retire but what a ride! Thanks for being such an inspiration.

[@espenstoro]

A hell of an ending to a great career and a fantastic show.

[@cubrman]

Probably one of the most wholesome videos I've seen lately. What a legend!

[@johnspartan3465]

Brian changed the game and the sport wouldn’t be where it is now without him great champion, now we need him on an arm wrestling table!

[@mattchart9808]

I don’t think a single person who has ever met brian shaw or knows anything about him has one bad word to say about this man. What a fucking legend and role model for any man strongman fan or not. Brian is what man should be.

[@FoxStrength_Performance]

Great speech Brian! You are a legend. Thank you for everything you have done for our sport!

[@ChristianSquare]

Brian Shaw went out stayed great

[@BuffPomsky]

Blessing others through your own blessings. PTL! Shaw classic is by far my favorite show among the strongmen shows. WSM doesn't even compare!!! Hope Thor joins for this year for an even more contested lineup.

[@hardy3559]

Congratulations to a beautiful human being 👏👏👏👏👏

[@detallefinanciero1895]

[@fillonia]

thank you SO much brian for everything

[@fiercefitnessstudiopretori9340]

Peace bro you're the best 🙏

[@PatelPresh]

Damnnnn I shed a tear at the end when he went to all the other strongmen. I will never forget watching WSM at Donatos pizza, always wanting to meet Brian. Got to meet him at the Arnold classic in Columbus. I have met almost all the strongmen not including the newer fellas. Been such an honor Brian. Be great!!

[@PatelPresh]

Thank you Brian for all you have done for the sport and much more!!! Also thank you to your loving wife for being your rock! She is literally the foundation. Much love!

Great speech by the big teddy bear but, god damn bro, take some deep breaths. He was huffing and puffing which is expected for his size, but like, I think mate was about to faint. Probably needs some water.

[@jonhofelich9107]

Did Brian win his own show again? Dang.

[@CWPWWRESTLING]

Doesn’t matter if it’s his own show, he’s the strongest man on earth

[@Vipinnnn17]

wdym again he was second the last 2 years

[@RickRolled888]

To God be the glory! Thank you, Brian, for inspiring so many people to "Go out and be great!" This was so much fun to watch in the arena - Like being a little kid at the circus! Phenomenal sport and showmanship!

[@mrhallangen]

Some of his first words were "thank god". No, Brian.. no god had anything to do with your success. Firstly because there is no god, but mostly... You did all this yourself!!! Don't give an invisible friend any credit for your incredible hard work!! YOU deserve all the praise and glory.

[@wraystv3054]

Amen!!! Thank God 1st... It's a gift 🎁, of being humble inspite how big and strong you are.. Psalm 14:1 , 53:1 To God be all the Glory!!!

[@harrynut3044]

​@@wraystv3054 "Amen" is the name of another False God. At least know what you are doing when speaking about the Great Creator.

[@Jlcarbs3012]

The show was rigged to make him look good. If you watched the show his reps wherent full lockout. Also they picked the events that he is better than the rest of the field

[@garretthayes1333]

More events than WSM, more competitors, all top guys, even Martins and others were invited, maybe it’s a great set of event for him but he proved it’s no fluke, still takes a lot to win that show, and run it on top of that Doesn’t need to be your favorite strongman but he deserves the credit for winning fair and square

[@clumsome7532]

He donated his purse to be divided amongst the other competitors. A true nice man. And has done more for strength athletes than any other individual. Enjoy his esteemed presence. Be jealous of something you cannot do.

[@adamwg10]

Dude you’re insane and incredibly insulting to arguably the greatest strongman of all time. Everyone knew the events ahead of time. Brian definitely could have picked better events for himself. All of his reps were just as clean as any of the other competitors.

[@joelesko681]

Just shut up and move on… nobody cares about what you think

[@Althubx]

whats it like being so wrong?

[@LarryStallings-dk4rr]

BS THEY WOULDNT LET HIM LOSE ITS RIGGED
