      I think this was the better show tbh. Thor lost to himself in 2016 with his mistake on the car walk, if he'd even made mid table he'd have won that year whereas this one was a close battle right until the end. Both great shows and Loz was a tank in 2016 but this was a great showing from both Thor and Eddie.

      While hall is a British hero, he is nowhere near strongest, there is obviously brian shaw, the big Z, Maurice pudzy not to mention bill kazmier if we are talking all time. I mean, even in this video we can see Thor is the better athlete, having won alot more titles to cement this.

      @@Benaddicted11trkfbal That's what i'm talking about, you just look on Wikipedia and count trophies, we've all been there. Mariusz was in a very weak era during the IFSA split. He competed against a young Zydrunas who was nowhere near his prime (his prime was in 2014-2016), in 2009 when IFSA was no more Zydrunas beat him easily and he left.
      If you're counting trophies then consider that Mariusz was never even able to get better than 4th place at the Arnold, it was a heavy show.
      Also consider Thor had the most dominant year any strongman has ever had in the sport.
      Every win is circumstantial. Magnus Ver has a way better record at WSM than Brian Shaw, yet Brian's still stronger.
      Compare the abilities. Thor in his short prime is the highest calibre of strongman there has ever been. For the longest time he was only faster and more explosive than Brian but in 2017-2018 he surpassed Brian in static strength and was better than Brian everywhere. He's faster, more explosive, stronger everywhere. Where exactly is Brian better after Thor surpassed him in static strength?

      Thor thought Magnus (the judge) cheated him on a pressing event where a couple reps weren't counted. If those reps counted, Thor would have theoretically beat Hall on the event which would have led to more overall points which would have won him WSM. So Thor was pissed at Magnus as he thought Magnus cheated him out of the title.
      Eddy points out (to which I concur) that Eddy could still have performed another rep or two even if Magnus counted all of Thor's reps, so at the end of the day, it likely didn't matter that the reps weren't counted. Eddy lifted after Thor and stopped once he won the event, while still having some gas in the tank.
      So when Eddy won, Thor shook his hand, but because Thor was still under the impression that Magnus cheated him, Thor wasn't super excited and all giddy for Eddy, and Eddy got pissed that Thor wasn't more happy for him, and Eddy has hated Thor for that ever since.
      Best I can tell, the hatred only goes one way. Thor wasn't mad at Eddy that day, and he honestly just seems confused when people talk about how much big of a problem there is between him and Eddy.
      Feels like Eddy looked up to Thor as a big brother/hero and was looking for validation & pride from Thor when he won. And when he didn't get it, it completely soured his feelings and relationship with Thor. Best guess I can figure.

Thor thought all his reps on one particular press event counted, whereas Magnus said two of the lifts did not count. Thor never said blamed Eddy for that. Thor shook Eddy's hand on the podium and congratulated Eddy.
      Because Thor was saying he got cheated, somehow Eddy and his fans translated that into Thor saying Eddy cheated, but that's not how any of it went.
