Brian Shaw's Perfect Ending | The Shaw Classic 2023 Wrap Up/Review

[@galayat-reacts3643]

It was the greatest comp I watched, and I'm glad I paid for it. 100% worth it.

[@mattysmith83]

I agree. I pay to watch all the shows and I can't remember enjoying one as much as this. I hope this turns into the number 1 show in the calendar going forward. Really well put together

[@DustinDIY]

Same

[@StephenCarlockVO]

Agreed. I ran into some issues with the livestream provider as I was popping in and out, but it was smooth overall, and what a comp to watch!

[@joeanderson444]

Me as well

[@1dering11]

I had no idea and it's Shawn's farewell!! ugh!!!

[@DreIsGoneFission]

I was blessed to be there in person. My wife and I (the annoying couple who periodically send each other super chat messages when Loz and Liz go live) went for our 5 year anniversary. Brian was exactly who we hoped he would be when we met him, even though he was exhausted. The crowd was incredibly hyped. I’ve never felt emotion from thousands of people like I did during his last leg press, chess press, and power stairs. We would have followed him into battle.

[@wombatonsteroids]

An army of Shaw and his fans would become a terrifying force very quickly

[@Michael20089]

What a wholesome couple

[@Haunter.x.Haunter]

I was there to. It was incredible.

[@hazed1009]

Haha brilliant , you would have followed him into battle!! Fantastic!! 😅

[@Donantonio26]

This was the first strongman competition I've ever attended live and it was one of the most special memories I've ever been a part of. Seeing Brian retire on top after being a huge inspiration for me for the last twn years is something that i wont soon forget.

[@chantzwilson9377]

My second big competition to be there live. My first was WSM this year. This event was so much better. The whole contest was amazing. So much fun

[@mullholand]

I'm down in Durango and I was going to drive up super early on Sunday.... but I had to work all damn day and I'm so pissed I missed out on a truly epic event. Brian - from I can see on videos... is a hell of a nice guy.

[@StephenCarlockVO]

Novikov wanted to entertain, and coming out to pull that second attempt at 499kg definitely did that, especially knowing it wasn't going to affect the points. He's coming back from injury, training in a war-torn country and I feel like he clearly knew he wasn't at his best, so you've gotta' give the show in whatever way you can. I appreciate him digging deep and pulling again.

[@yannicgraichen]

Just for the crowd fair play to him. The people's champ

[@Pepesilvia267]

I loved that this event was a lot more relaxed and Brian allowed time for crowd entertainment even if they got behind schedule. That novikov lift was awesome because it was purely for entertainment.

[@charliehurst9273]

Wow. Just WOW! We shouldn't have counted Brian out. I thought he'd come top 4 or 5, but to come away with the win was nothing short of phenomenal. Absolutely amazing performance. The old lion roared once more and put the young pretenders in their place. One of the best strongman shows ever, and a fitting end for one of the very best to ever compete.

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Same. I had the top 5 but not in order. Tom,Mitch, Trey, Evan, Brian. Big Brian brought his best game. It was a blast from the past.

[@danielmerriman8118]

🐐

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

The standing bench was awesome. They couldn't use a normal bench, that isn't really strongman, they had to make it a spectacle and they certainly did they. It was an interesting piece of engineering as well. Will be interesting to see how the athletes adapt and improve. Also, Oleksii's extra hummer tire lift was just for pure entertainment. It was just something fun. I think Oleksii knew he wasn't going to win the comp so it was just for fun for the crowd and to perhaps test himself a little post surgery.

[@christinetassone3156]

JF looked like Doc Oc during testing. I can't wait to see him come back to OSG.

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

@@christinetassone3156 Good to see JF doing so well.

[@ralphschannel6650]

@FatHulkRideEbike I was going to make the same comments about the chest press and Oleksii... you beat me to it!

[@Micheldied]

I actually really liked the standing press. Much more so than the car leg press.

[@shawn4387]

I’m so glad Gav was part of this competition he getting really good awesome to watch to he’s always fired up

[@mattholt5063]

So proud of Tom’s performance after zeroing the first event. I thought that could have been it for him but for him to come back, win four of the 8 events and place on the podium was incredible. Shows how far he’s come mentally . Brilliant to see.

[@brianbf9750]

Probably my all time favorite pay per view. Great competition, love the sportsmanship these guys show to each other. The PPV was great, the ending was awesome not many athletes get to go out on top and Brian did ! Well deserved fight and win what an absolute legend. I look forward to seeing an even bigger Shaw Classic next year and look forward to Tom and Mitch competing against one another for years to come similar to Big Z and Brian did for so many years Also love the bloopers

[@thadmano9782]

That blooper real at the end killed me 😂 Reminded me of when I would record myself before giving a speech in college and think.. good lord, how I am going to do this live. Great video as always! Great job Brian and every athlete at the Shaw Classic.

[@blackonefifty]

Kinda pisses me off that I’ve seen people saying the athletes gave this to Brian knowing full well that they’re all hyper competitive and Brian wouldn’t take a gimme off anyone, especially in his last showing. Man gave all he had in this showing and like Loz said, after the hummer tire deadlift you could tell he was locked in. Edit: seeing JF Caron running through all the barrels on the chest press during Brian’s video had me laughing. Man is still an absolute brute. Yes I saw the little push a dude gave at the end but I doubt it helped much if any 😂

[@LJones69]

What else can you say about Brian Shaw? He’s made a very gracious transition from competitor to host of the Shaw classic! Just look who shows up for it when invited, if they are not injured. The best of the best show up because they know that The Shaw Classic is quickly becoming a strong man favorite! And he treats the competitors better than any other competition out there, and you can hear that straight from the competitors mouths! Brian Shaw is a Class Act!

[@mattgarber8658]

This comp (along with the Arnold Classic Women's comp this year) was the best comp I've watched in a LONG time

[@Besottedporpoise]

The changing of the gaurd

[@scottsuydam3349]

After this show and Big B’s retirement, I will be pulling for everyone who competes. I love the underdogs like Maximme, Kevin F. Mark Evans proved he is a force to reckon with. But Mitch is a class act after seeing what he did on there last event by cheering Brian on to finish the last event while leaving his 600lb block on the third step. He gave Brian the stage and is a total sportsman at the highest level. All the guys gave Brian mad respect in the end and Luke kissing B’s forehead was very emotional.

[@scottessery100]

Unreal how Tom got 3 rd place after day 1 Well done

[@RobinMuirhead]

Yes to win four out of eight events impressive

[@martybendick2246]

Best logic I can think of for Novikovs extra deadlift attempt is to entertain the crowd. Totally makes sense. Crowd was there for a full 8 hours, pauses between events. Gotta keep em entertained.

[@chrismouton1985]

What an amazing ending to an amazing strongman's career! To be performing at that level at the age of 41 and then win the whole thing is just a testament to the class of Brian. Nobody can dispute how heavy the Shaw Classic was this year. We had a killer lineup and Brian ended on top. I was glued to the screen and criee my eyes out at the end. I've been a massive supporter of Brian throughout his whole career and to have such a perfect ending is just what he deserves. For me he is the GOAT! Well done to Mitch Hooper. He's such a great athlete and will be around for years to come! Massive comeback from Tom! Great performances throughout! Maxime and Faires were pleasant surprises as well!

[@jaket2274]

This event showed us a glimpse of what it would be like if you wanted to compare eras of strongman. Brian and Z era vs the current one and I gotta say Brian wasn’t at his very best (who could be at 41) but close and he still walked away with the win. Truly shows how impressive both Brian and Zydrunas were in their primes

[@treyt7651]

It was so electrifying in person. I am from Kansas city so I've been to many chiefs games. This event rivaled the chiefs games in excitement and decibel level when Brian was hitting those last reps.

[@JBS7551]

yup, being there was NUTS

[@lyndonjarman9033]

This show has convinced me more that Brian and big z will go down as the greatest of all time for years to come! Brian shaw several years past his peak was still able to compete at the highest level defeating the current and last worlds strongest men

[@martinnilsson5295]

And big z never picked his events

[@lyndonjarman9033]

​@@martinnilsson5295I'm a big Brian shaw fan but I'm willing to admit it's 1. Big z 2. Brian

[@ateamoffroad1179]

Brian is a legend, and nothing else to prove. He is and will always be the strongest man in history. And now he will continue that legacy with promoting strongman and making it greater than ever. Because we all know what happens when Brian has a dream.

[@patriciodiez5360]

This was the best competition I've ever watched. The equipment, the crowd, the professionallism, everything was so well put together. Hats off the Brian, Keri, the athletes, the crew, everything was perfect. And what a man Brian is, he literally made me cry this weekend. When he pulled that 1050lb deadlift and he went back to the backstage yelling "I AM NOT F*CKING PLAYING", man I WAS FIRED UP. That was 2012 Brian Shaw right there.

[@pascalblackmore8098]

Brian was out there taking souls. Especislly when he at 41years of age was only 30kg off his Hummer Tire Deadlift PR det in 2014

[@JorgeRojas-ut3wj]

Pfffft, he used his own equipment.

[@CWPWWRESTLING]

@@JorgeRojas-ut3wj you can’t fake strength and power loser

[@HenDiesel]

This contest had a bit of a nostalgic feel. Reminded me of some of the early competitions with the funky machines. Even the early Arnold’s had some weird (and terrible) ones, such as the hammer of strength. I enjoy seeing these brutally hard, heavy contests. Even the moving events were brutally heavy and didn’t favor fitness over brute strength.

[@drewmangrum8312]

Credit to Bobby Thompson for tearing his bicep and finishing the show like a monster. What a display of grit.

[@Justin-jg2hi]

That last stair, was the last rep, as a professional, completed, and it looked like he put EVERYTHING into getting it to the top. Dude left EVERYTHING on those stairs.

[@gibsonatorhb6691]

I am so glad I got to be there. The crowd was so electric and emotions were high.. such a cool experience

[@strongmanupdates7533]

Brian has been one of my heroes for well over a decade - watching this comp will forever be one of my favorite sporting event memories of all time.

[@hardchooligan]

Was there in person I loved the show and thought the log setup was great. The way the Arnold does it has no risk so why not try anything. This makes the athletes need to have their mind right too. Whole show was amazing and will only grow. Thank you Brian!

[@dahuterschuter]

Brian has quickly made the SHAW the best strongman competition for the competitors and for the viewers. It's the gold standard and I've been buying it every year since the start.

[@Jaysthudandblunder]

When Brian went backstage after one of the deadlifts shouting, I didn't come here to ******* play. You could see the fire was back. He was in the right headspace, no doubt about that. Bittersweet.

[@JBS7551]

that was epic

[@bronchoped]

Hope next year they get rid of atlas stones for a natural stone medley like arnolds did before or even a natural stone to shoulder

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Great comp. The livestream was much better than previous years. Still room for improvement but great value . Thank you for the Watch Party it really added a lot to my enjoyment .

[@balkamp8888]

It was such a phenomenal show, it was my second year there and I'm going back every year. So happy to see Brian go out on top. First year seeing Tom in person, what an absolute beast of a man

[@PamDuthie]

I loved watching it with you guys. I haddnt even thought Bryan had a chance but that was the perfect result I think. I might have cried a little

[@markedmonds8694]

Always enjoyed the Shaw, but never put in the same league as Worlds, Arnolds & Rogue. Now with the crowds it's getting & the new title, I feel it is. & its only gonna get bigger, really looking forward to the next one.

[@TobyLifely]

It was worth staying up till 3am the night before work! What a comp it was and it was great to be able to watch it alongside everyone in the watch parties

I really liked the lack of predictablity caused by having the Atlas Stones early. Not having a clear favorite made day two so much more exciting.

[@colinmorgan7771]

I loved brian and mitch going head to head and was so close Mitch was just 2 seconds behind on the stones...Brian was on FIRE the crowd really had him focused

[@fredkemp1444]

Hi guys👋👋 I have yet to see the full show. But that's okay I love your thoughts and commentary. Some people say Brian won cause its his show. But that's not the case for sure. As you said he performed super well. He was smarter on the log. He dug very deep on deadlift which has not been his best in awhile. He put his stones up really well and finished power stairs! He was healthy, wise, and HUNGRY!! And in the end he was "GREAT" As always great video Loz and Liz!

[@julianhernandez6457]

Ppl saying that know nothing about strongman. All the athletes did the same events and anybody coulda won. They're just hating cause he's still got it and beat the favorites to win. Awesome show either way.

[@sammcclure1553]

To the people saying that, I would ask, "what aspect of strength/being a strength athlete wasn't tested in this comp?" You can nitpick the exact events, but I'd say every major thing you'd want to test: max strength, rep endurance, moving with weight, explosive power, grip strength, pressing power, leg/hip power, etc. were all tested. That's why I'm a big fan of having 8 events: with 5 or 6 events, you can't really test all of the above; with 8 events there's nowhere to hide. Everyone did the same events with the same equipment under the same conditions and the best man won. That's all you can ask of any strongman show.

[@RobinMuirhead]

@@sammcclure1553 true and kudos to Tom for coming back and winning four out eight events to come third!

[@thatcrazykid1393]

Bless you. You are si tired from covering the event live in another timezone. Thanks for the great coverage. I was very proud of all the performances this weekend. Very tough show. Huge displays of strength. The handing of the guard to mitch was so poignant. And Tom Stoltman setting a new personal beat for mentak fortitude. I think there may be a Shaw vs Zydrunas style rivalry between those two for the next few years. They are both still relatively young and healthy. I'm very excited to see our incredible strongman talent duke it out. Probably the strongest field since 2017.

[@TenaciousZuedi]

This year’s Shaw Classic was awesome. Can’t wait to see what Brian has planned for the show now that he’s retired. Amazing coverage from you guys. Thank you!

[@wkbeats]

This wasn't just one of the best moments in strongman history, but in sports history

[@JorgeRojas-ut3wj]

[@jessebutryn]

The thing that really bothered me about Singleton having 2 reps taken away on the leg press is the ref allowed him to do those two extra reps without saying anything and then told him they wouldn't count.

I thought I saw JF waving it off but obviously the ref didn't see him.

It was such an awesome competition and being able to watch the Shaw Classic livestream (with audio muted except for Brian's speech etc.) while watching along with the two of you for around 12 hours total, made it even better. I'm now looking forward to the Deadlift World Championships/Giants Live World Open. Will you be doing another watch-along stream for that? I'm glad that one is back in the UK, so I don't have to try to stay awake until nearly 3am again.

I'm delighted Brian got the win and went out on a high after all he's done in the sport, truly earned and deserved. Onwards and upwards for the Shaw Claasic. Brian said himself he wanted to put his money were his mouth was and he has by putting on a top event that fans & athletes are hyped for

Energy live was like an NBA or NFL playoff game. It was fantastic.

[@DreIsGoneFission]

Also, the collective heartbreak when Luke lost a sandbag on the loading medley was palpable. And it was VERY obvious how much a factor the altitude was for Gav and Luke

[@samweston3741]

I think it was a well put together. Brian really involved the athletes. Not just for the show but months before. Also WSM never listens to the athletes so good to be heard. Also good for all the athletes to know what events they will be doing well in advance so they can train accordingly. Brian really listened to the fans as well. I can see this taking over as the main event. Yea the only thing I would of different if athletes could of gone a week or so earlier to climatise

I was shocked to see the athletes on oxygen early on Day One. I was glad to see it was available and that they were being looked after obviously but I really think next year if someone travels a week or two weeks early to acclimatize to the altitude they could have a real advantage.

[@patterdale4332]

I think it's unfair to hold it at altitude Brian lives there which gives him a huge advantage I agree with you coming out early but the athletes are still preparing for the competition plus the expense the men are too big to be in competition at altitude unless your used to it

@@patterdale4332 Is it any worse than Scandinavian athletes competing in the African heat at WSM? and yet still performing well or winning? Basketball is arguably harder aerobically than most sports (except prob rugby/soccer), yet the Denver Nuggets basketball team has only ever won one single NBA basketball championship despite training and living at altitude and playing half of their games with the altitude advantage. So, is altitude a factor? Yes. Is it the only determinate? No.

The actual contest was probably the best I've ever seen - but for the 3rd year in a row, let down badly by the streaming system. And the commentator microphones were so bad! I really, really hope they put all focus into sorting the tech side of this contest, as it cost 19.99 - which is 19.99 more than the Arnold Classic and Rogue, which are both far better quality streams and presentations, using actual decent streaming platforms (there were too many issues with ADLlive to list and it made things very frustrating at times). BUT - my god what a way to go out. Huge respect to the man, beat the best in the world fair and square in the most complete test of strength I've ever seen.

Toms battle from the bottom was inspiring. I think that the log event might be better as a ladder with reps at the end. I hate to see 5 people getting zero points…

[@Demane69]

They only needed to do the light log once to get points. Use it as a warm up for the heavy. It's strategic, and in the hands of the athletes. I find this far better than lighter weights where the majority of the athletes are within a rep or 2 of each other and points become too simular.

He actually did come in to wsm in really good shape, the stone off he has was a brutal one and took a lot out of him and he’s 41 and doesn’t recover as fast as the young guys and he was gassed for most of the final. I don’t think he would’ve won wsm regardless but he probably would’ve been on the podium if not for the stone off. But he doesn’t make excuses for his performances.

[@sammcclure1553]

Mitch said in his preview that the first to 90 points would win. Mitch ended up with 89 points and left some points on the table on the last event to give Brian his stage. I think Mitch did what he thought he needed to do and Brian was simply THAT good. His finishes in each event: 4th, 4th, 1st, 2nd, T2nd (11pts), 1st, 3rd, 5th. That's the consistency of a champion.

Brian went out there and proved that he still is the best strongman ever. He picked the perfect time to retire. It is always better to go out on top than keep trying and end up just another name on the list instead of a major threat to other competitors. Zadrunas should have retired probably five years ago. For years now, he hasn't been a threat in any competition.
