i thought he was gonna cuss him out but he handled it very classy. that guy colbert had no right to say tht. i have a tremendous amount of respect for all worlds strongest man competitors and for someone to call one of them out is ridiculous. they push their bodies to the limit to achieve great feats of strength.
Brian is by far my favorite strongman. Intelligent, humble, and respectful. A true good ambassator for weightlifting. Thank you Brian, you represent the weightlifting community very well!
Nice to see he took it as a joke, coming 2nd in wsm is somthing to be proud of, then of course he won it. Well done Brian. Wots the presenter of the tv show ever done ?
@AdamJamesPhoenix usually if someone came back with a comment that was putting me down i would get upset, but this was clever so i am going to put a like on it!
@Hydrov1s1onTec maybe but e will never beat savickas in any overhead disciplines like log lift hes maybe future of strongmen but savickas will never be beaten in overhead presses...by shaw/anyone
Only reason foreign countries seem to have a tad bit stronger guys is because steroids aren't illegal over there. They can basically get it over the counter. Enough said, america dominates... Period
@Cochan91 I was wondering that, too. Brian has a lot of custom-made equipment. If you watch his videos, his workout team has several pieces of equipment which are patent-pending.
i think in fakt big z is a little bit stronger . but he has won so much titles now...dont think hes still really "hot" and he`s much older,right ??? so i say the future is for you. you are a sympatic guy , too. !! greets from germany
The only reason shaw lost the title is because he fucked up in the first event putting the sack on the table. it was his competition to lose. Brian shaw will only get stronger and will hold many WSM titles
@Tangerinemustang Kaz did win, but he was before it was truly the "world's" strongest that was just americans. Granted Kaz would have won he was a beast.

@bobmoyer87 that's not true,Bill Andrson from Scotland,And Lars Hedlund were in the 1979 WSM,What was missing was the old USSR Olympic weightlifters of the time,and in those days you did not know what the events were untill you get to the compation,now there all the same and they train on them,
@cypionate011 at about 2:15 of the video of the history of WSM (it's not letting me paste the link on here) the video says, "the first three competitions were held at universal studios and featured only american competitors." But i was wrong about Kaz I thought he won in 77 - 79, but he won first in '79 so his claim was legitimate.
@bobmoyer87 In 1979 Kaz was in he's first WSM but he did not win Don Reinhoudt won,Kaz won in 1980 81 and 82,he was not invited back in 1983,so he compeated in the world Powerlifting contest which he won even tho he had a badly torn pec,and had not traind much.
@cypionate011 you mean he skipped because in 83 it was held outside USA and kaz didn't want to go to EU, and then the following years he wasn't invited
