This is the main show of the year for me. Done properly by strongmen and for strongmen and typically a great viewing experience.

Brian Shaw really is revolutionizing Strongman. Respect to him for putting on an amazing show and pushing strongman away from the dated WSM format.

As a "new fan" (2 years), I strongly disagree. I've not watched a single Shaw Classic. Not because they aren't good enough but because there isn't enough strongman content to keep me engaged. The free content that WSM, Rogue, and even channels like this offer to the sport can't be compared to something that's put behind a paywall. Whilst Brian has the best intentions, he is only able to do what he does based on existing fans and through the likes of these other companies bringing in new fans. I watched it happen with boxing, where promoters try to get every penny they can out of fans in order to pay/ attract the athletes and it seriously stunts the growth of the sport. He should at least start putting out the full comp within a month of the show ending. The sport has only just started to really grow and he is trying to run before he can walk IMO.

@@raulperez8648 Good point, but I’m sure if the Shaw classic continues to grow to the level of the Arnold or rogue then the PPV will stop and there will be a free livestream. That being said, Shaw is making all these crazy implements and heavy competitions (which imo is more conducive to determining who is the strongest man). Beyond that, his show rivals WSM in terms of depth of field, which the rogue and (some) Arnold’s lack of

He has a partial tear. Fingers crossed for his rehab. All depends on how his recovery goes, I don't imagine he would rush his recovery especially with him having little Koa in his life now. Personally I would take as much time as possible with my little one and come back better than ever.

​​@@dantethunderstone2118 the events were still better than any of the other shows of the same year, IMO. Rogue probably would have been the best if they didn't change things last minute. The rock throw at the Arnold's was boring, and the other events we've seen before. WSM events are pretty much almost always the same. I do agree that this year's events at the Shaw are more exciting, though, and that they can improve on the livestream.

@@dantethunderstone2118 why aren't they strongman? Or are you saying that because tests of chest strength and leg strength are lacking in most strongman comps, that should stay the case and we shouldn't have any chest or leg strength events? IMO the chest press was cool. The leg press was meh, but that was more of an issue with presentation than the actual event.

@@Micheldied there’s plenty of ways to test leg strength without using a leg press, for instance s squat And the chest press was too much of an isolation movement, even on “machine” deadlifts and squats it’s still a compound movement. Would you consider a smith machine military press to be a strongman event?

Strongman seems to be going in a good direction, can't wait to really see a MW and LW circuit take shape in a really prominent way

If you watched this on mute you might think it was announcing the line-up of the world's strongest beards. Some truly powerful facial hair across the line-up. I think only Mitch Hooper didn't have a Gilgameshian adornment of epic scale, but he makes up for it with Sgt. Slaughter style points.

Excellent lineup. Definitely the show i am most looking forward too

Looks like a great lineup. Thanks, Loz and Liz.

The SMOE will be epic. Not only will it be a great show for the Pro men, but it gives the amateur men and women a chance to showcase their skills on a grand stage. Props to Brian, Keri, and the whole team for setting this great show up.

Thanks guys, your channel is by far, and mean by miles, the best strongman news channel.

Went last year and had a great time at the comp. This year seems to be more of a crazy line up. Favorite strongman show at this point along with rogue.

World's Strongest Man is a cop about gamesmanship and not really showing off the current "world's strongest man" I think this new/returning comp run by Brian's team will be the true showing of this title for me. Large pool of competitions. all the active world's best, and the heaviest weights.

SMOE is the best event of the year for me. The heaviest and most raw strength contest to decide who’s the strongest man on earth

Loz, you are looking strong! Your shoulders and traps are huge! Looking good. 💪🏼

Good hell, what a lineup!

Best competition of the year without a doubt. Whoever wins this is the undisputed...strongest man on earth.

YES! Ready for those cards to drop now XD

Boom! Looking forward to SMoE! Whats that T-shirt you're wearing Loz? Looks awesome.

Brian Shaw once again showing he is the GoAT

Great Canadian factor!

wow what a lineup. Will we be able to watch it live? LOL

This line up is wild

Definitely a Stacked Lineup. Brian's show will eventually be number one.

Gonna be EPIC! Can't wait! Now Brian just needs to get Loz and Liz out there for commentary or something!

Liz - "What is this Game pf Thrones?" Well the Mountain is in there...

Is Licis done with strongman due to the injuries? Hope seeing him back somewhere.

Not bad job with the name pronunciation! Though somehow Loz got all the easy ones 😅😂

Perfect roster. If there needs to be any reserves I’d say put Ondrej Fojtu & Jaco Schoonwinkel if there’s any pull outs

It's going to be interesting to see how much the guys will focus on this year's SMOE. It is a little late in the season and not all of the guys have been in their best shape there but with the prestige rising, that's probably going to change.

I think it’s terrible that the comp that made the guy and made him wealthy, is now consistently under attack by his fanboys who don’t seem to understand things very well. And don’t seem able to like 2 things at once.

Why with you guys and giants live is Oleksi always former world strongest man while other former winners are the 2023 wsm or the 2018 wsm.......

Luke may be out, hopefully for the sake of his rehabilitation and long term health,cos of his age.

Feels like an overstatement to say it's the best lineup of the year. It's the WSM finalists, Thor, Oleksii, and Americans that didn't make the final. All the guys deserve to be there, but the Arnold's was still more exciting to me
