In a recent Brain Shaw video there was a story told by Eddie that Brian had given him a sandwich after an event where Eddie was having a sugar crash. Think they said 2014... It was a sweet moment in that video as Eddie had never forgetten that simply bit of kindness. Brian is a good egg.

@@michaelstrachan4419 I agree, Eddie was simply better at deadlift(at the time) and overhead. Although if they had kept the flip that included the chain drag, which imo they should since they had both at lesser shows so they should definitely include both at the supposed pinnacle of the sport, Eddie could've very well lost this show. He was not great at a chain drag, the event change really suited him.

Eddie was one of the no-doubters in WSM history. He won the squat, he won the Deadlift, and placed well in all the others. Guy was a very solid athlete throughout. But of all the guys there, he probably had the most static strength. The greatest strongman of the field was Martin Licis though. That little guy was only like 305 lbs or so, and he was keeping up with the 400+ lbs guys. I love it when little guys like that come around and keep things interesting. As for men who were so far ahead of their time... consider that Bill Kazmaer, one of the commentators, as he was in 1981 would have placed top 3 in this year's Squat and Dead lift events. The guy was confirmed to have pulled around 1000 lbs with straps, and squatted 950 lbs unequipped. And he was doing that at 320 lbs size. It's Ironic that in the early 80's he was considered above average size to average, and today he'd be one of the smallest ones. That's just how far steroids and diets have come. We understand so much more about how to pack on mass.

Sometimes I wonder if Shaw would've won his 5th in 2017 just from not screwing up the hamstring. Oh well, just speculation, but you can agree that every strongman fan have ran scenarios in their heads of what little things the athletes could've done to win or place higher. like Thor winning 2014 bringing the squat suit, Z never getting the nerve injury and winning another Arnold and breaking 240kg log. Mateusz never tearing the tricep and winning wsm, Eddie not retiring at cutting to 175kg and win more Britain's, and my Favorite, Mike Jenkins never Passing, winning Wsm, pushing Z on log, and breaking records in the dumbbell and frame.

The squat seemed awkward af for thor and brian cause they were the tallest ones there. All 3 events less range of motion for the shorter guy. Eddie set world record DL last year, hmm lets put max DL in + squat for reps and viking press cause eddie trains DL, Squat and shoulders 90% of the time and sucks ass in moving. Sure maybe they removed the drag from tyre flip and drag because uneven ground but fucking find some even ground then jesus its SUS af when you remove it legit few min before finals. If the drag was in eddie drops ATLEAST 1-2 places in that event and instead of winning by 1 point he will lose with like 1-3 points.

2017 eddie was the strongest static lifter to ever walk the planet

[@oceanbanana4341]

That arguable

[@adamcharlton5339]

Plenty power lifters would get higher totals

[@YoYoYoYoYoYoPeace]

@@adamcharlton5339 Eddie had a 2,650 pound total, certainly not plenty of powerlifters who are stronger than that. And sorry to tell you but strongmen are stronger people than powerlifters, regardless of total.

[@adamcharlton5339]

@@YoYoYoYoYoYoPeace just isn’t true daniel bell has a better total than Eddie would ever get

[@YoYoYoYoYoYoPeace]

@@adamcharlton5339 Im basing Eddies total from his max lift at different times. For example his max squat was done well before his 500kg deadlift. But the numbers are real, strongmen are just stronger than powerlifters. It's not even close or a debate really.

[@459luker]

can you fix the audio at the end?

[@alexmdrful]

That's crazy!🤯 in every sport like football or rugby you can rewatch the action . But in strongman it's a shame just to call verification wtf

[@andygledhill6506]

On this day Eddie was the strongest person that has ever lived. He controlled the competition and could of done more on the squat, press and dead lift if he needed to. Can't wait for the Eddie vs Thor boxing match coming up in the next few months - Eddie is going to beat the living daylights out of Thor.

Eddie would win an mma fight.

[@johnpontes812]

And Thor smacked him

[@DeadSnail1204]

@@johnpontes812 both smacked each other only reason it wasn't a draw was one eddie knockdown counted as thor slipping with fist in side of his head.

[@petstar88]

Eddie is going to make Thor take 2nd place again, this time though there will only be 2 ppl taking part

[@TheJoker-yz8dv]

Always funny when Eddie fans say that Eddie will beat Thor "again". Eddie only beat Thor once in his entire career lmao

[@riversett5112]

@@TheJoker-yz8dv to be fair it’s cuz he won. Eddie always said he wanted to win it all once and then he wants to leave the space because if the health concerns

I understood why he retired but i wish he would ov tried to defend his title win in 2018 it would ov been a brilliant good watch

[@iHatePolitics]

I lost my respect for Thor after this. He is an immense bad loser and he showed his true colours.

Are the interviews from 50:58 echoing for anyone else?

Yes. I have no idea why.

The 10 dislikes are probably from Halfthor and his yesmen 😆

[@g-9222]

Gave eddy some stick for his under par performance against thor in the boxing match, but this win to become worlds strongest man back in 2017 is still right up there with every winner before and after this dominant display by the "BEAST". Still say eddie is THE best dead lifter i have ever seen. Will even go as far to say that if he kept up with his strength training for strongman, that he would have been a 2X winner and would have regained his deadlift world record, of that i have no doubt.

[@oceanbanana4341]

Maybe but I wish he'd focused a bit more on speed and he'd have 100% won another title
