Eddie is the man.
I'll post up an article I read about him yesterday when I find it... He wanted to win this just once. He was breaking furniture and ruining his marriage to get this

Awesome. Love Eddie Hall
Wtf
Did Shaw faulter er some thing? Itll be months before they air it on TV...
Shaw has 4 and only needs 1 more to tie Mariusz for the all time record of 5. Its some thing id very much like to see. An American tied for 1st All Time with the possibility of a 6th cuz hes only 35.
I like Eddy and he does deserve his moment in the spotlight. Not an easy task. But i do seriously worry about his health. He looks like a heart attack walking. We dont need another dead strongman
Congrats Eddy Hall

Sweet dude deserves it. I seen a video of him benching the other day saying he's going for bench press record after he wins a wsm.
I wondered if he'd stick to his plan, good on him:
Eddie Hall retires from World's Strongest Man competition
This will be the start of the controversy that follows:
The mountain will be next to win, IMO. He may have been the real winner this time....

Looked like a clean rep to me

I had read the mountain was in the best shape of his life for this one. Questionable for sure. But good on Eddie. Seems like a genuinely good dude.
The mountain really came out of nowhere, IMO. I really like the guy, he has earned everything he's gotten... I honestly thought he might have it this year. I would have almost preferred to see him get it because his conditioning looked better than Eddie.
With that said, Eddie has been gunning for this for a long time. He was born for athletic competition I'd say.
Remember Kevin Nee?
He was the youngest WSM competitor ever at 19. Then he disappearred. Where did he go? The guy had unbelievable potential.

The shit takes a toll... I think he had a pretty bad injury? I read something about him not too long ago... Same question was posed in the article, "where'd he go?"
A bicep tear. I think a knee injury. But all in all prolly no different than any other competitor? I may be wrong...
But he competed in WSM at 19 and the youngest competitor ever. Reached the WSM finals at 21. Another first.
I think he elluded to wanting to grow slower and more naturally.
The kid must of been a wonderful responder to juice to do all that at a young age
Some guys just can't come back after those injuries... Or don't want to. Maybe he didn't qualify once his injuries had healed? Time is as much of an enemy as those injuries... It's a shame too because he had a lot of time in his side.
I remember seeing Kevin in an mtv doc series when I was younger, really got me into strength sports at the time...
Bicep tear is what finished Poundstone if I'm not mistaken, ever see that thing? Gnarly.
Shaw tore his hamstring at wsm this year, still finished the competition like a badass.
I was checking out his recent record(Nee) and he has qualified several times since for WSM and some other strongman comp im unfamiliar with. But i also noticed he has a big fancy degree from the University of Arizona
Prolly figured he would just sit back and make his money with that degree.
Soooo Shaw got injured this year? That would explain alot. I saw the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place were all within 1 point of each other. The 4th place finisher Canadian Caron had only 25 points. Which was half of what Shaw did in 3rd place. In other words not even close. The top 3 ran away with it for sure.
Im pretty shocked still after you posted this. Shaw is unbeatable to me. Hes the largest competitor and also the most nimble and athletic. Figures an injury is what kept him off the 1st place spot. Cant wait till they air it. Love WSM
