      Injuries are part of the sport. Did the injury cost him the title? Maybe, but that stuff happens. Tom did really good on events he was presumed to drop points on, so he was in the driving seat. I think that mitch maybe slowed down at the end. Even without injury Tom was still favoured, and with the injury and second secured, i dont think he pushed his max. Maybe he would without the injury, but I dont think it would have mattered this year. Tom was too good this time. Next year will be an interesting rematch. Hopefully without any obvious injuries. But half the field probably had some sort of injury/strain/tear anyway. Thats just how the sport is.

Dedicated fans would watch a pay per view live stream because they don't want to wait until December. I don't think there's a lot of overlap between the two groups who would watch each version. But the Tv broadcasters probably think a live stream would diminish their viewership and wouldn't want them to do it.

    WSN needs to be a live stream as people would watch it.
    I know there are long waiting times between lifts and also events. This could be filled with archives, the overs 50"s masters and the lower weight classes.
    I think Brian has the right idea and format and I think WSN needs to be mindful of what happened in the " IFSA" Days, we don't want a division in our sport.
    I know we could fill the 02 arena and within a couple of years Wembley or a football club in the UK.
    The prize money sucks and it comes down to selling merchandise and strength couching the up and commers.
    The 3 most alpha sport recommission is the fastest man on earth, the Heavyweight UNIFIED champion and the biggest and most importantly the strongest man on earth.
    I love worlds but the stone off has to go, why not just have the top 2 of each group or maybe a medley of farmers, iinto, yolk then keg toss for height.
    I don't want to see strongman turn into cross fit or on the other side too heavy. A one day event is fine for Max so if it's over a few days it needs to be as not heavy but I don't want it to be the fastest strongman on earth.
    I honestly think Brian will take over as he actually wants the sport to grow and politics will not be used as previously mentioned.
    I know big z and Mariaz has a slightly better record but Brian for me is what strongman is about and I just loved watching him over the years, I will miss watching him compete but I wasn't bothered when Mariaz, Thor or big z retired but I really do miss watching him

    Well to be honest, Mitch either tied or beat Tom in 3 of the events, Tom won the stones and even Smith said Tom looks like the clear winner of the stone before the event. It was not closer (which I think it would of if he had no hand injury) due to him not doing well in two of he events, it is a shame he had the injury but it is just one of those things. One of Toms approaches to the major tournaments is to be selective on what competitions was the potential of wear and tear is higher if you constantly competing so he is condition is fairly good.

    with ppv streams you can often watch it the day after if the timezone is a problem. The shows that have used streams are doing good, wsm would do just as good or better. Also, sponsors today probably pay more if they can advertize live today, as opposed to showing their new products half a year from now. I think they are just afraid they will loose too much control of their own production/show. They gonna get passed by strongest man on earth if they dont change soon. Modern people are used to watching streams these days, you got to keep up with the times.

    I would agree that Tom winning the WSM 5-6 would make him one of the greatest. BUT, I think Tom will need to win far more titles than WSM to be come GOAT.
    BUT, for the live stream, it could work. Loz and Liz were pulling in 5k-8k viewers on their live stream. They could still run the TV special, but offer a live stream through their website that people could pay for to see the live raw footage while the TV show would be refined. They would essentially be adding revenue. Much like they did with selling different levels of tickets to this year's competition.

    Hats off to Tom, he did great in event 1 after a poor performance in the frame carry at the Arnold. He also did great in the axle , Conan’s wheel and the DL. To be fair event 1 was Hoopers best coming in, he is the best bar none in the yolk and he dominated the frame carry at the Arnold and has never had a grip issue. The torn calluses definitely cost him 6 points in event 1 and a couple of points in the DL. Mitch did great to tie Tom in the keg toss.Tom’s error in the shield carry cost him the title last year much like the torn calluses cost Mitch this year. Tom is a giant with unlimited potential while Mitch is definitely the under dog. Let’s hope both remain injury free for the next few years.

  • @CraigMayhem
    @CraigMayhem 4 місяці тому

    WSM is the anchor for all strongman comps. I reckon a lot of people became interested in the sport by watching it on TV way before there was even an internet (like me). I think they could do *something* online like a daily live recap podcast but as you mentioned TV contracts are still much more lucrative than streaming... Especially for a niche sport. While it's possible to just set up a static camera and stream (like the Iceland show) the quality is poor. Full streaming production is very costly and for a 5 day competition it would be outrageous.
    WSM is the top show because even people who know very little about strongman know about it. Because of TV. I'd love to watch it streaming as well but until those TV contracts are expired/renegotiated we'll have to refresh a spreadsheet and watch on ESPN.

    Happy Tom won, and would have been happy seeing Mitch or anyone else win. I don't have any stakes in who wins, but to everyone saying torn calluses aren't that bad of an injury; Mitch clearly lost points because of it. Anyone who thinks he can't do a 320kg frame (when he won the frame at the Arnold) and can't do more than 6 reps on the deadlift (he couldn't hold on to the bar) is nuts. There are varying severities to even torn calluses, and pain tolerance is different between people. If you can't bear with the pain, you can't output strength. Not saying Mitch would have beat Tom, because Tom won it fair and square, but the calluses definitely did effect Mitch.
