Strongman competitions need more stuff like these in my opinion apart from the heavy lifting and pushing/pulling. Nowadays WSM is like a more entertaining powerlifting meet. I would like to see armwrestling and mass wrestling also in strongman.
Things like these are great but, to me, arm wrestling and sumo is to dangerous for them, not that what they do is not dangerous but, leave the wrestling to wrestlers.
Also wrestling relies a lot on technique and cardio conditioning. Why have an event in WSM where the strongest guy can lose because they did not spend enough time on cardio?
@@gromse5616 Medley events are per definition cardio. Strongmen definable need to haveg good cardio, and running around is certainly more cardio than arm wrestling.
@@mikewazowski6968 just shows you how much his day job was holding him back. As soon as he quit and started to really focus full time on being a strongman, his size just blew up massively.
given thor has twice the reach on Eddie in boxing, "even boxing" is probably not well put ;) I'm certain Eddie would win several strongman comps though. But that won't ever happen given these guys are not strongmen anymore
@@thammar1990 Eddie did that in a short span of time 1 year after he did the WR 463kg half naked. While Thor waits for over 5 years just to beat it.

Thor vs Eddie in 2016 WSM, 2017 UK Strongest Man & 2017 WSM will still be one of top strongman battles and their best battles ever. The boxing match is miles behind
Saxons a big team. Close match in the beginning. Vikings coming up big in the end. Awesome event. Looked hard and lots of fun. Was fun to watch. Great video
Is anyone impressed seeing what Terry Hollands (referee) has done to his body? The fact he competed in a body building competition not too long after this?

@Quim Rodellas in what lift was eddie way stronger? log squat and axle maybe a little, but still the same ballpark. in anything else peak thor is simply putting up higher numbers than peak eddie. Hell even thors powerlifting total is over eddie's, because his grip is too bad to perform well in the deadlift
