Member 6130, 110 posts | Funny seeing the plane brake theory on social media, surely by believing they could complete the course with a brake on thor/shaw must be so much stronger no one else would even be close on other unhindered events so the logic fails surely? | ||

 It's a moonface era now. Member 5901, 956 posts | IMO Thor is stronger than Shaw already, and is very very close to Edd in static power. I heard Shaw was close to 500 pounds at WSM. Imagine Thor at this size. If he dont quit he will take it next year. U guys notice that the new strongam generation have very strong deadlift, young guys under 30 deadlift 440-460. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | drex50 said:Damn didn expected tha WSM 17 affair is so serious, so much posts about conspiracy and fixed final everyhere in the media and social platforms. It puts a really bad image to the WSM institution. I think it's just that strongman is more popular and people have more access to social media nowadays. There have been dodgy goings on in strongman for years (much of it far more so than the alleged controversy this year) with organisers fixing things. For example the farce that cost OD Wilson the title and dougie edmunds favouring his own son (possibly more at bsm than worlds but it still happened at worlds level). I just think its far more visible now with the results being more readily available online and everyone having a platform to air their views, whether they know what they are talking about or not. I do agree that the social media war going on makes strongman look like a total Mickey mouse sport to the casual observer. | ||

 Member 5560, 769 posts | I was wondering about the pull... Not in the way that someone has done anything delibrately but truck pulls are always a bit dodgy. Never the exact same on every run. I think Eddie himself has talked about Truck pull not being a very fair event before. I think Eddie 100% deserved his title but Is tand by what I said. Things came together to give him a better chance than you would usually expect. I always feel a bit very sorry for Shaw. Any comp he does his weaknesses get targeted. Thor and Z in particular get luckier with that. Lets put grip events back into WSM. | ||

End of an era. Member 4646, 1964 posts | What sort of times was the truck pull won in? Was it lighter than normal? | ||
