The World’s Strongest Man Classics 1982: Kazmaier becomes a Sumo Wrestle supremo

[@aaronwrecks3324]

Bring this event back please

[@dsc_dsc]

John Gamble was so afraid... I want this event in WSM again, funny to watch Zydrunas vs Brian hahaha.

[@kavispoole9562]

Aye homes, watch what you say about my uncle!! I think he was knowledgeable that his opponent was on roids

[@dsc_dsc]

+Kavis Poole Yes sorry, i forgot that gaymbles was natural.

[@kavispoole9562]

I have alot to lose.. I am giant black muthafuckah, who doesn't have shit to prove! I love all of GOD'S children and can't debate the misconceptions of my caucasian brother don't want to admit. Kaz was a big giant muthafuckah.. with the attitude and juice to prove it. Nuf said.GOD bless America

[@kavispoole9562]

I love watching that video! Uncle Johnny looks like he could have been an bodybuilder!

[@apointtomake1517]

In 1983 Gamble had his world championship stripped of him and was given an 18 month ban by the IPF (positive for Decca). They ALL abused steroids, the key was to keep juicing until the last possible minute so that by drug test time you come through "clean".

[@-Erebus]

I'm gonna to tear Kaz apart!.... Kaz pushes him over, helps him up. Being humble is the first sign of greatness.

[@hyena131]

@-Erebus It's easy to be humble when you're victorious. Being humble in defeat is what counts.

Hahahahaha

[@metalrocks999]

Bring this event back.

[@pabloponce785]

Testosterone al 200%

[@gogooshttrflshr6335]

Against the black guy, it was almost as if Kaz was flinging his jacket on to the ground.

[@debingalls4974]

Gogooshttr Flshr hahaha cause jackets are black that's fucking epic! Lmao

[@jcmoney11111]

Good God, he would have been a hell of a nose tackle back in his day in the NFL.

[@haagenneldeberg6787]

Can we get this back? As an armwrestler myself, I would love to see armwrestling back in strongman, but it's simply too dangerous a sport if you don't know the correct techniques.

[@Nickepickeparonpung]

Thinking of Magnus Samuelsson?😊

[@newwogzondablok6095]

I think his hamstring was also torn here

[@redthebeard1119]

Rodrigo Sanchez idk exactly, but yes he was fighting a serious injury that would have put average man on a stretcher.

[@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4]

0:57 ARrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! 😂 Sounds like a hungry big guy that saw KFC was closed

[@chrispycream7748]

Imagine him on the line🙃😳

[@Exekutioncro]

they should bring this back to WSM

[@seanagulan9481]

This one was brought again in 2004

[@matthoefling9242]

Kaz had 2 torn hamstrings during all of this.

[@Scorch1028]

I’m just glad that the loin cloths stayed fastened to these sumos. 🤣

[@mmafan8407]

The probability of injuring yourself is much higher in this event than the other WSM events especially since they are totally inexperienced in Sumo and it is a contact sport

[@sgt7]

Did this organization apologise for fixing a match by creating a running event so that OD would lose?

[@finmason8339]

Damn I think big bill here would have beaten a real sumo legend

[@asura8495]

@Red October why not? sumo wrestlers are just fat, they have lost many times against some strong inexpierienced dudes

[@hyena131]

@@asura8495 You are wrong. Sumo wrestling is a very subtle skill and an ancient sport. Are you a yank by any chance?

[@asura8495]

@@hyena131 a year or two ago strongman Eddie Hall tried out sumo wrestling for the first time in his life. instantly won against the reigning champs of the UK in every weight class...

[@hyena131]

@@asura8495 Exactly. Champs of the UK. Didn't go to Japan. Thanks for proving my point.

[@StFidjnr]

No wonder kaz went to WCW in 91

[@zeltzintlachinolli2806]

who was yelling between Kazmaier and Wallington because it looked like Kazmaier got pissed when his arms were flailing

[@chrislisauckis2308]

That's Washington's bear yell 🐻

[@mitchellstowers5251]

Beginning seconds when Kazmaier is squatting down you can see how shaky his legs are, he brings his heels up and it looks like he’s torn his knees up good

[@Z28Gaming]

He was actually hurt going in this. I remember a documentary of him talking about it. He basically tried to look crazy to intimate the opponent, but he was in pain.

[@Runingbullcjh7]

The kaz!

[@EM-mr3sg]

B-E-A-S-T

[@ScrapNfight]

Who was the black dude?

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

John Gamble he was a national and world powerlifting champion in the early 80s in the 275 class. He would weigh about 300 in the off season

[@Supericegabriel]

Hard palm 0:04

[@randyspencer5937]

jon pall sigmarsson the best strong man

[@hyper_5pace902]

@Cold Cave I guess Hafthor, Shaw, Magnussen, big Z, Pudzianowski and Kazmier played tennis.

[@GrandNecro]

brlahalahlalahaalalaararaaarala

[@godzillaenthusiast9687]

lol, they used a whistle

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

Gotta give Waddington some credit as he was holding his own and mixing it up pretty aggressively with big Bill. Yes Kaz was injured but shows Waddington was fairly athletic and aggressive not just a big fat powerlifter who could squat a lot. Kaz was athletic and aggressive and really competitive as well as massively powerful

[@angelogoreham4155]

Waddington was a good sport at the end he slapped Kaz on the shoulder but you can see waddington blames himself for the loss.

[@jamesmanzano5231]

This event is amazing! They’re not just fat and big like real sumos.
