 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22054 posts | I'm not keen on the first 3 (1977, 1978, 1979), but the show was finding its feet back then. I'm going for 1998, even though I'm a Samuelsson fan. No dead lift or squat. Light events. 75Kg kegs  I enjoyed the heats though. | ||

 vegetarian with a big deadlift - who would have thought... Member 340, 13300 posts SQ 315, BP 190, DL 350855.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | The one where they messed heavily with the scoring system - which one was that? | ||

 Amor means love Member 2369, 50 posts SQ 300, BP 230, DL 330860.0 kgs @ 165kgs UnEq | Ben_F said:The one where they messed heavily with the scoring system - which one was that? 2004, but they only messed up the heats with the stupid scoring system. Final was the normal affair. Worst has to b 1989 with the stupid hod carry for 200m at the end. And the gravel loading event. 2003 was pretty bad with pudz winning literally every event. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | I forget hich year it was but the year where Mariusz won it by miles and had secured victory with 2 events to go, think it was one of the ones in China. It's never so entertaining when one guy has no real competition. | ||

 The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | What did they do with the scoring system in 2004? I enjoy most WSM finals, although the ending of the year when Pudz pipped Poundstone on the final event and taunted him to his face, wasn't a fan of that so much. | ||

 Member 174, 1235 posts | Post Edited: 03.01.2012 @ 16:28 PM by Bod The first three finals are at the bottom for me. I didn't like the events in 98 or 91 either. | ||

 An amazing human being Member 2047, 17156 posts SQ 262.5, BP 170, DL 300732.5 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq | Agree with 1989 one, love Sigmarsson but he was defo not the strongest to win that one. Just as a side note was Grizzly the biggest man ever to compete in WSM? | ||

Don't think he was that tall. | ||
