Full Live Stream - The Duel | 2023 Rogue Invitational

Complete coverage of the The Duel, the 5th and Final Event from the Strongman Competition at the 2023 Rogue Invitational in Round Rock, Texas (Saturday, October 28).
This Strongman Sandbag Medley event (325LB, 350LB, and 375LB) would ultimately decide the winner of this year's slightly abbreviated competition (a sixth event was canceled due to weather). With yet another title on the line, the crazily consistent Mitchell Hooper could afford zero missteps if he hoped to hold off Tom Stoltman, who trailed him by just 3 points heading into this challenge. In the end, there was no letdown from either man, as the Dell Diamond crowd got the showdown they deserved, as well as a brand new Rogue Invitational Strongman champion.

Rogue has been great the previous 2yrs they have slightly missed the mark this year but the rain certainly didn't help but the streaming is fantastic and the prize money is mega for these athletes and they've realy moved the sport of strongman in a positive direction in that sense

[@fakename5015]

Seemed like a big step back to me. It was much more than a slight miss. It was much worse than Giants Live which also paid well and has streaming. The only reason Rogue survives is they sponsor the top guys so they can always force a show.

[@fakename5015]

@@ChrisKeen-is5so 1. Wrong that’s not what Giants Live pays currently 2. Who cares? Because Rogue pays they can do a shittier show? 3. I seem to have seen Tom and Mitch competing at Giants Live last week. 4. Giants Live had the largest payout ever for a one day show a week ago. 5. Payout doesn’t make a show. If payout mattered we’d still be watching World’s Ultimate Strongman. 6. If WSM amd Arnold pay less than Rogue this year (very possible) does that make Rogue the best show? Or even a decent show? 7. High paying shows of low quality - eg Ultimate Strongman - do not help the sport. They hurt it by not respecting the sport and lowering standards. That’s why they don’t last. 8. This is why the Shaw Classic was an instant success. It pays enough - not the best - but it’s a high quality show for athletes and fans. Over time the Shaw Classic and Giants Live will pay out more and more if you’re into that…9. You need to modernize your perspective. Prize money isn’t how you make money in strongman. Social media, sponsors, product lines etc are how you make money.

I have to agree with most comments the last event was just not good enough and the bull pull was one of the worst I have seen in ages. I think it was lucky that only one was injured from it. I know they had to change a few things from the weather, but it was not a great show especially when compared to last year and the Shaw classic.

[@bobz4968]

[@DadGetsFit]

I definitely feel something was wrong with the iron bull. It took out treys achilles for crying out loud. The fact that it stuck at 15ft for everyone should have shown something was wrong. Idk what this last event was. Other events were pretty cool. Log, coaster, dl was a little weird as well. Hopefully the athletes get paid well and rogue does better next year

[@RE4L72]

only the log press was good, a regular deadlift would of been better. the rope pull (rollercoaster) was ok but not great.

[@fakename5015]

I’m totally confused. Every internet site has Tom winning this event. 17.57 vs 17.84. Did they redo the times because people didn’t start at the same time? Edit - that’s what they did since the athletes didn’t know if the start was the word “go” or the horn. Amateur hour by Rogue. Just awful.

[@ianfisher1218]

This last event is amateur hour, must be the worst final event I’ve seen in a Strongman show. Mitch Hooper blatantly false started and somehow didn’t get DQ’d. Also at least 2 of his log reps shouldn’t have counted. And removing an event from the schedule. They should have a backup plan for poor weather. What a shambles of an event

[@fakename5015]

Read the comments. No false starts.

[@stevee8920]

I don’t understand why on the Rogues leaderboard they have Tom Stoltman winning that event, I’ve watched it over and over again at x.25 and Mitch wins albeit by milliseconds yet on the leaderboard it’s Tom who came first and Mitch second. It doesn’t change the overall outcome but this year’s event has been a shambles. The height they were pulling from on the tower was different to what they had all trained at, the bull pull was dangerous (we saw Trey get badly injured) they introduced a rope when no-one had trained for it and the weight was heavier, the Rogueacoatser was good, then rather than a medley we went to log lift for reps at too light a weight (should have been 170k) the axle lift was cancelled as deemed to dangerous, yet why couldn’t that have been done inside the concourse like the other events and then the duel no longer became a duel it was just a sandbag race (bloody heavy), but the idea was that they were to have to run it 3 times 10 (9) down to 5 then 5 down to 2 then 2 fight it out for the win. Congratulations to Mitch he did what he always does and is consistently fighting for top 3, deserved the overall win. Tom was on a charge after day 1 and came a close second. I think these 2 will go back and forth for years to come, there is nothing between them IMO the 2 strongest men in the world right now by quite a distance

[@Testoodope]

Mitch false start. You can see him go before you even hear the G sound in Go in .5 speed. Regardless, if you time them both from when they started, Tom was faster because Hooper had a 1 second lead.

The problem is originally they were supposed to have elimination heats to go from 10 to 5 to 2 (to 1.)The 2 would be 1v1 and hence a Duel as the event was named or simply, a race.
