It’s not only “Be Great” anymore, it’s “Be like Brian Shaw.” What a legend and an incredible legacy!
Don't do your best, do his best
@@bdegrds be better than Brian Shaw
Couldnt agree you more, well said
@@NektarSSJ that's stupid hard to do, but would be what he'd want
@@momowentboom that should be everyone's goal, see someone you idolize and be better, for us strongman fans is Brian
Nothing is hard, you just have to put your mind into it like Brian that's why he is 4 time world strongest man
I keep forgetting that part and it's the most important one
Nick best is one of the best friends any man could ask for. The emotion he shares for Brian is incredible and we've seen it time and time again
And not to forget Brian's incredible wife.
@@BaconIsNotBicepsthis. I truly think she was the perfect person for Brian, and without her, I don’t think his success would be nearly what it is.
Nick cries over a lost sock
@@patterdale4332true, but he is the man lol. Not afraid to show emotion
eddie making fun of nick crying, eddie you cried like a bitch on shaw podcast, drop the ego hall, thor humbled you too
The fact Brian managed to put in that level of performance along with organising such a great event is actually insane.
Behind every great man is an insane, driven woman.
@@Eb0nK1ngG4mescough cough David goggins
"I DIDN'T COME TO F*CKING PLAY!" gave me chills. Rare to see that kind of fire in Brian. Loved it.
Dude yeah like “oh shit scary Brian” 😅😂
My reaction was like 😨😨😨😳😳😳
That was pretty badass from Big Brian Shaw!!
Love him being real!
i literally moved back while watching. i was afraid i was on his way
The Modern Era of Stronman should be called the Shaw Era. He brought so much Love and Passion to everything strength related. Nothing but Respect for this man.
I will now forever call this the Shaw Era
Hard to see past Big Z tbh, better strongman, still winning titles well into his 40s aswell.
Maaan, the way his little boy is fighting to hold back tears at 15:47 just shows you how insanely proud that kid is of his dad. Incredibly touching.
For a moment I thought you meant Nick at 20:44. Very emotional for everyone around Brian :)
My best friend and I flew to CO to see Brian’s final contest, and it was incredible. Everyone did an amazing job, the weights were heavy, the volunteers were great, commentators were fantastic. Immensely positive experience, and I’m blessed to have experienced Brian’s final show in person. Definitely going to be back next year. We love you B! The GOAT!
Good morning. i haven`t been where i could see or hear what Brian plans are now, Do you know if Shaw Classic will continue ? i hope i haven`
t bothered you but i was just wondering if you knew.. Thank you.
@rickydickerson1138 Yes it Will continue. It will get bigger and better.
I was there. It was an amazing competition.
@@rickydickerson1138 it’s gonna keep growing! Brian won’t be competing, but the Shaw Family is going to expand the competition and take it to the next level. It’s gonna be great!
Damn I live in Colorado I would've loved to see it
the chemistry of nick, brian, eddie, and robert is simply something you can not recreate. all those dudes are top dogs in my book and seeing them all together for this is something special.
with those specific items in the competition im half surprised Eddie and Robert didnt want to compete in that
@@mikesmith-wk7vy in his prime Eddie would have done really well in this comp with these particular events. Maybe even won it. It definitely favors static strength more
@@mikesmith-wk7vyThis was right up Eddie's street. Static power.
i prefer the chemistry between brian, nick and caron.
@@mikesmith-wk7vy Robert said he is never competing again, that his body simply can't handle it anymore. And Eddie's is probably around the same too, guy took his body to the brink to lift 500kg and probably would've died in his next training cycle had he not won WSM 2017
there just really isn't a better ambassador for the sport of strongman than brian shaw. He perfectly embodies everything good in the sport.... Professionalism, hard work, humility, respect, comradery, and just a clearly genuine desire to see it flourish.
Hear, Hear
And he doesn't act like a sore loser, like halfthor
450 lbs of American Freedom
@@Bullboy_AdventuresWeird that you're mentioning Thor, he and Brian are friends.
Brian also complained in 2017, in writing, however Eddie didn't mention that publicly.
Brian is to strongman what Arnold was to bodybuilding. No doubt that the sport will take off if he's focusing on promoting in the future. ❤
Amazing man, amazing career.
That's not fair to Bryan because Bryan never said "screw your freedoms". Bryan deserves respect. Arnold lost respect in the eyes of many when he said screw your freedoms, not to mention the 1980 mr Olympia he robbed and also not mentioning how he screwed tom platz. Arnold is a piece of sh1t when you look into it
I get the comparison at the time. But Arnold’s a complete and total cookie cutter Pansy. I don’t like him
Way better because Arnold was a arrogant prick. Lol
Agree with this, actually.
Brian is Arnold, Zydrunas is Ronnie.
Brian has a lot more class I was glad to see him take down Arnold’s picture. Arnold and the Weider family vs Brian alone. Sorry after Arnold dissed our country what little respect I did have for him is gone. He can move back to Austria
The fact Brian had the energy to do a full meet & greet at the end of the show, after not only competing but also promoting! It goes to show what a true legend this guy is 💪
End of an era, what a way to go out 🥲 Nick getting emotional, tears of joy and pride for his friend. Great job Brian 💪🏼 🙋♂️🌎🏆
This just goes to show who the true king of strength is. WSM is looking for the strongest aerobic athletes, while The Shaw Classic is looking for the strongest man in the world. Congratulations, Brian, and we hope you enjoy your retirement.
What event at WSM did you find easy?
@@fanfeck2844 Where did I ever mention easy?
@@fanfeck2844he never said it was easy, just that it wasn’t the best showing of strength among the top competitions at the moment. Giants live, Shaw Classic, Rogue Invitational, Arnold Strongman Classic, are all significantly better organized and more accurate in showcasing the strongest humans on earth, in my opinion
@@asketillus8679thank you.
@@asketillus8679this is why Brian created his competition. It's about strength.
Nick being emotional and Luke with the forehead kiss got me teared up 😢 Congratulations Brian!! Can't wait to witness the next chapter!
Nick cries all the time lol. He cries when a stranger wins some local bar eating contest in his presence lol.
Eddie was being such a pr!ck to Nick. One day the old man's gonna bend Eddie over his knee and give him a spanking.
@@mikimiyazaki😂😂😂😂
With Luke it’s all for show, he’s very calculating when he knows the camera is on him. Behind closed doors he’s a very different man.
@@grimnir6169why is that 😮
Brian man, that was hands down the most exciting strongman comp I've ever seen. And the care that was put into making it fair and consistent was truly outstanding. We have truly crowned the strongest man on earth. This is the new gold standard. Thanks for a great career!
Eddie trying to be the clown, as always, but you could clearly see that he was about to cry aswell
i had a tear then died of laughter when he ended it with you fat prick lol
Eddie seems like a top friend to have. Messes around, but can be sincere when it matters. Friends like him who constantly try to push you, mentally and physically and socially, keep you sharp. Solid guy.
No Eddie wasn't trying to be a clown, Eddie was trying to be nice in his own way to let him stop crying. You could see how nice Eddie is and he has a nice clean heart
Many professional athletes talk about going out on top and it rarely happens, Brain actually did it. Thankyou for the memories Brain, you are the GOAT.
Now he can rub this in Eddie's face. "See? 4 WSMs, 3 Arnolds, and I finished with a Shaw Classic as the Strongest Man on Earth. Beat that."
Long live.. braaaain!
Yeah but better if Brian himself won it rather than his twin brother Brain
@@mikimiyazakiwho tf is brain?😂
@@splitlip9064 the smartest one of all!
Being present for this was one of the most memorable moments! Thank you Brian, not only for the inspiration you provide for so many people, but for giving back so much to the sport and people who support it. WE LOVE YOU BRIAN! You are one of a kind
I said the same thing because I went to WSM in Myrtle Beach, and I felt happy to be there for Brian‘s last WSM, but then it sucked because you could barely watch a single event because WSM did a horrible job setting that up for the fans. It looks like no matter where you were sitting at Brian’s show you could see everything clearly.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily i was on the side in the back and had a pretty good view. For some lifts the side view is nice.
@@youtubeconnollyfamily the amount of time Brian put in to this event to make sure it was enjoyed by all was really amazing. From the expo, live speakers, meet and greet booths and the show set up, you could feel the love Brian has for not only his fellow athletes but also the fans!
Brian is the single biggest reason I became a fan of strongman in the first place. I still remember his first WSM title and being proud to see an American win in a sport typically dominated by Europeans. What an incredible journey it has been since then. Brian has always done it the right way, remaining humble and hungry through it all. Brian may no longer be a competitive strongman but there is no doubt that he has changed the sport forever. BE GREAT
Same for me. Brian Shaw is truly one of if not the greatest ambassador for strongman. And in my humble opinion the GOAT
MAN I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER LOL I AM A BRIAN SHAW FAN AND IF I AM BEING HONEST I DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD WIN THIS SHOW AND HONESTLY LOOK LIKE THE BRIAN SHAW THAT WON 4 TITLES AND I AM VERY GLAD TO BE WRONG AND I KNOW HE TIED WITH Z BACK IN 2010 WSM AND I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE A STONE OFF BACK THEN OR ANYTHING TOO SHOW WHO WAS THE STRONGEST AND IF THEY DID A STONE OFF BRIAN SHAW WOULD BE A 5 TIME CHAMP.
I ALSO THINK WSM SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT WHO IS THE STRONGEST LOL IT'S NOT THE FAST STRONGEST MAN LOL IT'S ALL ABOUT THE STRONGEST LOL 2017 WSM WAS ALL ABOUT THE STRONGEST MAN AND I FEEL IF THEY BASED WSM ON 2017 SHAW WOULD BE A 5 TIME CHAMP PERIOD.
Hard to feel it through video but being there and having 5000 people cheer on Brian and yelling "thank you Brian" in unison will forever be a feeling I remember
It was powerful just watching it through a screen, can’t imagine being there let alone being on the stage in Brians shoes. Freakin GOAT!
The love and respect everyone has for Brian is so commendable. He’s done so much for the sport and for the athletes, and it shows with how they support him. What a weekend!
The different dynamics of friendship that Eddie and Nick show to Brian are what everyone needs in their lives. Two life long BFFs. Congrats Brian you truly are great. 🎉
I have my doubts about Eddie. That prank he did with the statue of Brian was uncalled for (publishing it on Instagram). I would never want a friend like him. He comes across like a jealous big immature kid most of the time.
@@brutalhonesty5138I respectfully disagree, it's not that deep. Eddie Hall is a piece of work & obviously tickles Brian Shaw. He's not in the USA long enough to truly aggravate Brian, in the meantime Robert Oberst is nearby to pick up the slack.
@@brutalhonesty5138have a day off, you really don't get British humour. Eddie idolises Brian it's plain to see.
@@brutalhonesty5138you must be fun at parties lol
Life long bffs? They’ve known each other for like 10-15 years lol
Brian was and still is the reason so many of us have gotten into watching and competing in strongman. Thank you Brian, you have left the sport far better than you found it. We will forever be grateful for what you have done and what you have sacrificed for this incredible sport.
When you have a friend that cry's from being just the up most proud of you...that's the Friend you need in your life...hats of to Nick for being supportive of Brian
From someone who’s 41 and watched worlds strongest man on tv since I was a kid and watching Brian every year for all those years compete it actually bought tears to my eyes seeing him top spot on the podium! Well done Brian will miss seeing you on tv big man and thanks for being such a top bloke, really honestly mean that if we all took a leaf out of Brian’s book the world would be a happier place
Hopefully they bring him in to commentate
Amen to that, my friend.

Brian is such a great ambassador for the sport and is such a genuine and nice person. He deserves every bit of success.
What an impressive win. Beating the young and insanely gifted Hooper in his last event ever. Talk about going out on top, well done Brian!
I’m glad Hooper didn’t win. He’s talented, but way too cocky and full of himself. One big difference between him and Brian is that he talks about himself too much, while Brian overwhelming prefers talking about others.
Wtf? Hooper is a very humble guy. I wish him all the best. He was humble in every interaction I saw him in this event and in other events. Look how he cheers on Brian. He has an awesome personality. @@bogechoginson3728
@@bogechoginson3728I love when so-called "fans" of the sport say this about him, when everyone in the scene who's ever met him in person and spoken about him has only good things to say about him.
@@bogechoginson3728 I Saw some of hoopers videos . He seems very respectfull when talking about the others
Love how every participating athlete was celebrating Brains last outing with him at every stage of the competition. Goes to show, he is loved and respected by all his peers.
I’m 5ft5 and have watched strong man all my life, growing up I knew I would never be like these guys physically, but there is one thing that’s very important, the admiration and humble humanity that’s oozes from these giants is so rewarding, kids of today please watch and learn 🙏🙏
The shot of him finishing the last step is awesome, I feel like you can see on his face once it’s done just the face of “that’s it boys.”
Everyone should have friends like Nick and Eddie. Awesome job Brian, what an awesome way to go out! Now, you can concentrate on growing strongman bigger than it has ever been. How amazing, that even after expending all that energy, you still hung around and met with all those fans.
I would love to hear Keri's perspective from this. Supporting Brian and helping to make sure the contest runs smoothly must be an intense juggling act. What a legendary queen!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS, what an awesome career you’ve had. You’ve with no doubt inspired millions of people young and old to hit the gym. I appreciate all you do, thank you for being great!
Nick Best is a real man! I love his emotion. He has a great heart.
Hero, role model, inspiration are only a few of the things Brian Shaw represents. Couldn’t be more grateful to have this man to look up to for so long. Can’t wait to see his impact in his next chapter! 🐐
Why am I tearing up? ❤️🥹
You'll forever be a legend Brian!! 🔥💪🏿
Lmao same here and i’m a Guy, rarely cry or tear up by watching videos but this hit different 😂 oh damn 🥲
He truly is a giant among mankind 😃.
I have seen all his competitions 👌.
Brian will forever be remembered as a legend in strongman community 💪🏼!
I'm in tears. I've been watching Brian almost from the start. You're a treasure Brian. Love from South Africa.
From a young boy that had many goals, many dreams, much hard work to do, and much effort that was needed. You get a man. A man like Brian Shaw that not only achieved his goals but also became known as the World's Strongest Man. Congratulations on your win sir I am so pleased to see how much you have grown, it's a bit saddening to see that it's already your last professional lifting time but I see now that you have a new journey ahead of you and i have no doubt in my mind that you will succeed in that just as easly as you always have. Keep pushing. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Thank you for showing the world greatness and puting a new name in history books 🌹
Thank you Brian ; you've inspired a generation with your strength & more importantly, with your positivity, kindness and generosity.
Nick Bests reaction to Brian winning. To be able to cry over a friends legacy is fucking beautiful. Nick is a real one. That display of appreciating someone so deeply makes me a little emotional. To love a friend so sincerely is more precious than gold.
Eddie doesn’t exactly have the age it takes to have such sentiment, but you can still understand that under the words and the expression, he cares a great deal about brain legacy.
I wish we could have gotten Obersts words after the competition. But him being there so close to the stage hollering at Brian says it all.
Big respect Brian, you have not only showed that you are the strongest man on the planet, but you are also a big promotor of the sport and on top of that you have created the heaviest and best show there is (imo). I think your show also gives a much better representation of who is the strongest man on the planet than WSM. It's obvious the really heavy contest suits you better than the speed contest. The livestream was also great!
Brian, you’re the reason I started watching strongman back in 2010. You’re an unbelievable sportsman, gent, dad and such a role model. I wish you all the best for your retirement. You, Eddie and all the banter is fantastic. Much love from across the pond! ❤
Amazing performance! I am extremely grateful that my family and I were able to attend in person to watch. What a great ending for a great man. THANK YOU BRIAN! STRONGEST MAN ON EARTH BRIAN SHAW! ❤
What a legend. So much love from the crowd. What an experience being there in person. Literally leaving a legacy every day. 😊
Thank you Brian for everything, thank you for taking the time to meet us after the competition and thank for everything you've done for the sport! You're a great man!
"First I want to thank God." Love it!!!! Great job Brian!!!!
He must've been low on oxygen
This was my first ever strongman event. I feel honored to have been able to be there to witness this. The passion of these athletes is absolutely incredible and their sportsmanship is unrivaled. Looking forward to seeing it next year. Congratulations Shaw!
I was there too. Flew from Michigan. I've been to Super Bowls, World Series, countless hockey, baseball games etc... It was the most incredible awesome event I've Ever attended. So glad I was there for Brian's last competition. Amazing 👏
Once in a lifetime opportunity and you got to experience it as your first time, I'm happy for you man. I hope you had a blast!
Incredible legacy. From across the pond 🇬🇧 we salute you Mr Brian Shaw. An inspiring American 🇺🇸 and a fantastic role model for our sport. Happy retirement and congratulations on your success, in life, in sport, in love and in family.❤️
There’s no one who can dislike this man he is just the type of person everyone should be driven, humble, and caring for others
The fact you can compete and put on a stage like this is insane in itself let alone win and dominate. The journey is just getting started! Can't wait to see what the future holds for the legend that is Brian Shaw. Thank you for all you do and have done!
Was so amazing being there, and coincidentally having your family behind us was a huge bonus. Hearing your boys cheering for you during the wheelbarrow relay brought a huge smile to my wife and I. Thank you for all that you do both for the sport, and for our colorado economy. Cant wait to come back next year. You're the G.O.A.T congrats on an amazing career!
We were right across the way from you! Amazing show!
The high level of good sportsmanship combined with the high competitive culture you and the rest of the guys have build around this pro sport is amazing.
What an icon! Thank you for everything Brian! You are an inspiration for all of us! We will "Be Great" thanks to you and your legacy.
I think we all teared up when B won and we saw all the respect he was given by his fellow competitors and friends. I was watching from the sleeper in my semi truck and was screaming like I was there. The show was great and will only get better.
Thank you Scott this comment made my day
Congratulations, Brian. Your achievements are absolutely legendary, both as an athlete and a role model. You’ve inspired so many people, myself included, not just in strength sports, but life itself.
This was an amazing event. Congratulations to all the competitors and to everyone behind the scenes. As a fan, I couldn't ask for more. Brian, you are a great ambassador for the sport. Thank you for being great!
Going out with a bang! Thank you, Brian Shaw. You are an inspiration.
Congratz big guy. You deserve it man. I 've been following you for years and the hard work you put in plus the way you handle yourself is nothing short of admirable.
I remember watching WSM when I was a kid 25 years ago. Seeing the events with almost zero publicity.
Brian has paved the way and revolutionized strongman for the competitors and audience.
I cant convey how happy and proud i was to see you dominate this Brian what an amazing athlete and amazing career that has inspired me and so many others to do great things
What a performance! Truly amazing to watch. You have been an inspiration to many over the years, not just in strongman but in family values and drive. You all put on a heck of a show this weekend, all the hard work really paid off. Storybook ending to a legendary career. May God bless you and your family in the next chapter!
Watching in-person was electric. The in-between segments were great, too! Seeing the equipment put together and taken apart was also a show in itself. Can't wait to see it again next year!
Brian, thanks for being classy all the way to the end. Soli Deo Gloria. Thank you for elevating the sport, can't wait to see what you do next! Congratulations!!! 🎉
Big congratulations! This was the perfect finish to your illustrious career. Watching you over the years has been a true joy and really helped me get into the sport. I can't wait to watch your comp grow further!
Awesome !!! You've been more important to the sport of strongman than you'll ever grasp and just because you're so humble.
Such a legendary final performance! Loved seeing how all your hard work payed off. You’re a great inspiration, Brian.
Congrats Brian! Been following your UA-cam for years. Always love the content and passion. Was hoping to see you snag a 5th wsm and set the record for that! Good luck on your future endeavors
Thank you Brian for all the blood, sweat, and tears. You proved that anything is possible and are a true role model
Shaw is one of the greatest athletes of all time! It's been a lotta fun over the years, and looking forward to many more years of the Shaw Classic! +1 Like
Thanks for the journey Brian, I have always looked foward to seeing you compete. You're an absolute legend!!! I hope you can continue with youtube and much more. Best of luck on your next chapter....
Congrats to all and esp you Brian. Glad you get to close this part of your career with a victory. Best of luck with the next phase!
I had chills watching the comp… So awesome for Brian to finish on top… literally… The hard work paid off… there will never be another… Congrats to you and your family! Thank you for everything. Cheers 👍🥃👊🍻🇺🇸
You are a legend amongst an amazing group of champions. Your legacy will be felt for many years to come.
This was my first ever strongman live event. It was awesome to see the level of sportsmanship and admiration these men give each other. I have never seen it in any other sporting event I’ve been to. This will be a yearly event for me going forward.
Thank you Brian for the years of greatness and inspiration, thanks for introducing me to this world, and thanks for leaving it in the hands of such capable and humble champions!
Love you Brian! You've had such a huge impact on millions of people's lives in your career and are an incredible person.
Congratulations on the win, but even more so on how you brought forth this competition. You had a vision and you succeeded. Looking forward to seeing more Shaw Classics!
Thank you for absolutely everything. The thing I'm most grateful for is the positivity and brotherhood in and out of the competitions. Now, the next video had better be a vacation recap! You have the world's permission to take a break.
I hope you know how much you truly changed the way people look at this sport and now how many more young people are wanting to be apart you in my eyes will always be the greatest of all strong man! Much love from Iowa big man!!!
You are such an inspiration Brian, honestly, you keep doing you
We love you Brian! Congratulations on being The Strongest Man on Earth! ❤💪🏻
Brian Shaw is one incredible human being. God bless the parents that brought this amazing man into the world. Their son is a legend
You are a great human and one of the strongest ! An inspiration for many!
Well done Brian! I have enjoyed watching you for many years. Thanks for always being a class act!
I was watching the live stream in my living room, clapping along with the crowd. What a show, what a moment. Thank you Brian.
Congratulations on quite an impressive career, Brian. 💪
Thank! You! Brian! What a way to close out an amazing career. Congratulations on closing this chapter. The next one will of course, be great! Awesome that the Four Horsemen could reunite and celebrate this epic win. 🙌💪🐐🤙
What a show! Great contest! Brian Shaw and crew are amazing! Well done and Thankyou!
The GOAT 🐐 what a career !! So humble with no Ego !! He has done so much for the sport & this will continue ❤❤❤
So proud of you. You are the strongest man in the world, Brian. There couldn't be a better role model than you. Shaw Strength is Real Strength! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. You worked so hard, pushed so hard, and finished strong. You put on such a great competition. Was so awesome to watch. You made history! Again, kudos. You are the man! 💪
End of an era. Thank you for the inspiration, and nothing but the best for you and your family.
Brian going out on top is so deserved. What a legend. I hope Brian stays involved, he is a great ambassador to the sport
You really did something special with this competition Brian. Well done to you and your team. Loved seeing Carry with her ear piece on :)
Absolutely amazing. Congradulations on the success and all you done for the sport. God Bless
One of my biggest inspirations. Thanks for motivating us all by your love of sport. 🐐
What a show, what a competition, what a man. I am lost for words, but this competition has to be my favorite strongman comp of all time.
Everything looked so professional, the crowd was amazing, and the emotions were unbelievable.
Swear to god, when you hit that 1050 in the deadlift or the double rep with 575 on the standing chest press I was crying all the way.
Love you Brian, happy retirement!
Probably one of the strongest to ever compete. An ambassador for the sport. A hunger for competition with a humble heart. Congratulations big guy
Thanks Brian for everything youve done, youve inspired so many people including me and always remember to be great!
So amazing to see man. The greatest to do it!
Congratulations, and thank you so much for years of amazing performances. World's Strongest and the Shaw Classic without you is gonna be so strange. 😢 Gonna miss you so much, but hopefully you'll still be around the sport somehow.
