By accepting attendance in the WSM, with the opportunity to break the deadlift record, Thor would have a unique chance to shut Giants Live/Colin Bryce/Eddie Hall up for good - AND get to be the better man. If he shows up and, on camera, walks right up to Colin and sticks his right hand forward for a handshake saying "let us put the past behind us and do great things for the sport of Strongman", then offering to shake Eddies hand as well...- THAT would give Thor so much respect for being a bigger human being. Colin and Eddie would have a hard time not shaking his hand..... they would look like total A-holes. Interesting to see, what happens.
And even if they DID shake Thor's hand, he could post a deceptively-edited documentary, where the camera does a slow-motion zoom-in and cuts to the next scene just before it happens.
Thor has doubled down many times in front of the whole world, that he won't do business with them. He's too far gone on that road, there's no turning back.
Thor posted a photo on Facebook on the 17th of December of his worlds strongest man trophy. I think it's a coincidence personally, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
Apparently the date has been set for desdlift attempt, just not announced publicly yet. Loz/liz mentioned it on a live stream a couple weeks ago I think it was. Think they said/hinted sometime first half of 2025
Yes, and Mitch and Thor will both attempt a max weight. I think Rauno didnt get notified in time, he said the competition is very soon but he is trying his best to get in shape.
@@Nagy.Patrik Rauno got notified in time, but he is still very sore from the season so he is not in his best shape to train for a max attempt. Didn{t mind it and did 420 some days ago lol
@@antoniocenteno1483 I want Rauno to do 500kg+ , he can, but i dont think at his age he should push it when he is not completely ready. His body will not allow him much more 500+ attempts.
Nah. Dont think he would want to do WSM again. He is focusing on the 510k deadlift plus arnolds, rouge and shaw Unless they reaaaaalllllly offer him a 6 figure deal just to be there and compete
A 6-figure deal is ludicrous, they can barely afford to pay the winner about $50,000 along with 2nd a 3rd getting about $20,000 and $10,000 respectfully. At best, they'd probably offer him $10,000 and a off-the-books preferential judge treatment 😂😂
@GruppeSech just saying if they want him that badly. Pay for it. Same goes for the world deadlift championship. He should ask for more than 50k. Say 75 to 80k just to take a jab back at those promoters screwing him
@@GruppeSechwhy it’s a tv show and thor is a big name actor, in my opinion every single athlete should be paid a base salary for appearing on television
I hope it is not, but I believe this is a masterclass in marketing. We are now talking about WSM even before the Arnolds. I hope Thor goes, but I doubt he will.
I believe, that WSM has always had the politics, that any former winner of the competition is automatically invited to participate. With or without a written invitation. This time, they allegedly send him a formal invitation. I would LOVE to see him go, but I fully understand, why he may not. I have full respect for his decision, whether he goes or not.
From Thors point of view, why bother. Rogue, Arnolds and SMOE all have much bigger pay days, his 510 deadlift seems to be his biggest goal, and I am sure he has enough other stuff on his plate that he just does not need WSM. 100% WSM needs him more than he needs them.
@@maxa8838 Thor has nearly 1million TH-cam Subscribers. Mitch only 370k, Stoltmans only 260k. He is THE most followed active strongman. Of course they need him, it's called revenue!
It won't ever happen after the 2017 WSM fiasco. Half the events were static, Eddie was working with his best friend etc. Besides WSM is not required to be a successful strongman. A lot of strongmen have jack sh!t for WSM, like Aivars Smaukstelis.
The problem is the "revealing" video about WSM 2017, Eddie and his English friends tried to completely destroy Haftor's reputation, but it didn't go so well. All because Eddie saw red when his beloved deadlift record was taken from him. He could not accept the loss.
First: Merry christmas guys! hope you guys have a good one. Second: Thor is too far gone from giants live now, as he should, the organization is way too corrupted and out of touch with the sport, atlethes and fans, there is nothing to win going there again Third: Thor don´t need them for the deadlift record because he is putting a competition together, comp in wich Mitch Hooper is in and so are some of the best deadlifters in the world, Thor said it will take place early next year (my guess is early feb) and the reason it hasn´t been publicly announced yet is because Thor hasn´t signed the paper yet, those are his words. Fourth: Giants live is not likely to put as much money in as Rogue has done in the past, i mean, they can barely pay WSM 50K the winner and the pot for the deadlift championship is there cause nobody has broken the record in that specific comp other than Edduard, so no need to collect i guess lol. Fifth: Thor can extend his deadlift record to 505, 510, hell even 600 KG and still Edduard´s fans won´t get of him, if we have learned something from them is there is no way to shut them up and they love the missinformation wagoon, like really like it, i´ve read stuff like Eddie did it raw with no belt, Iceland´s gravity is slightly lesser than UK´s (wich is the other way around btw), that Eddie did a whole compeition before pulling it and so on and on.

Lots of all kind nonsense. Being fan for only one, guess it's makes bit blind for other sides. WSM and Thor are both losing but wsm is still great competition with strongest and most talented strongmans, even if Thor isnt there. Wsm doesnt need Thor that much but it would do good thing for Thor to go.

With World's there is more risk, by no means is it an easy win for him. If he gets his pressing back to it's best he could win but Tom and Mitch will be neck and neck with him. Not only that but this is the comp where the most controversy took place for him.
Imagine this: Thor returns to WSM, wins, and refuses to accept the trophy or money. Publicly blasting them for corruption and humiliating them. Mic drop moment lol. Highly unlikely he will go there tho. WSM admin would have alot of work to do 1st.
Prime Eddie Hall 2016/2017 was THE strongest static lifter in the world. His axel press WR was done with ease, with no leg drive and his attempt at the log press WR was a given until he lost his balance. I would go further and say that the Axel press could even have been 225 and he would have done it WITH leg drive, of this I have no doubt. Thor has imo a personal best in the deadlift of 501, which should go down as a unofficial WR. Eddie has a 500K lift which was done in competition and that will always be recognised as the most renowned deadlift in strongman history.
It's typical for previous winners who are still competing to be invited. Martins and Thor won't be there. They are finally after 40 year figuring out marketing...
I respect Thor's decision to not do business with WSM. Both of them owe each other public apologies, or least agreement to bury the hatchet, before there's any collaboration between them again. It would be good to have Thor there so the race for the podium gets a little more exciting, but overall I don't care for WSM anymore.
Ok if worlds strongest man is a tv show first like everyone always says, then shouldn’t all the athletes be paid just to be there apart of the tv show just like any other long format show? With that in mind Thor is already an actor he should be getting paid big money to appear on television for their event tbh
All active champions get invited. The only reason he hadn't been invited the last few times was because he'd quit the sport. Don't read more into it than it just being clever promotion.
Merry Christmas to you both. Your channel is fantastic. I agree, Thor is cutting off his nose to spite his face by not competing in World's. There aren't too many other options for him at his level. I hope he changes his mind, I would love to see him at Giants Live again too, but I know that won't happen.
It's just Eddie who's been talking about it for years and years, Thor never said anything during that time. The only thing Haftor did at the time was a post that lasted a whole 24h to complain about the obvious controversy of events changing last minutes (along with other athletes btw). He never even mentionned Eddie and the controversy was never about the viking press, Thor moved on from that in an hour. Then Giant live puts out a video to make it look like it was, and even edited it in a way to pretend Haftor didn't shake Eddie's hand .... And guess what happenned few years later ? We got a leaked phone call between Luke Stoltman and World Ultimate Strongman org in wich Luke admits that the brits got cheating arrangments with Collin Bryce. And he specificamly talked about him and his brother, and Mr Eddie Hall qualifying it as "shady". Stop believng strongman is an all clean and friendly sport. Why do you think Brian is now putting out there the argument that he doesnt want corrution in his like there is in others ? Collin Bryce is the head organizers of Giant Live and WSM.
Hey Lalas Thor lifting 505 at GL will NOT shut anyone up. Eddie Hall did his 500 in 2016. It took Thor 4 years to break that by 1kg in his home gym. Granted, there was covid, etc, but it was his home gym and after 4 years. If Eddie did not prove it was possible for a human, we would not be here today. Eddie was the better deadlifter when he WAS competing with Thor, but Thor has since become a better deadlifter than prime Hall. This is the beauty of sports. Records are meant to be broken. So stop this shutting-up ludicrous mentality. When Mitch broke the Axle record, Eddie was rooting for Mitch, so as when Biby broke the log record. No one person, I repeat, no one person will hold a record forever. Lets not act like kids. This is a strong man sport and you have to act so. Thor brought this upon himself when he called Eddie out after 'breaking' the record. Eddie is having the time of his life and Thor is still figuring out what to do with strongman etc. Thor needs to be a man and grow up and not be bitching around. Go and compete as WSM, do GL etc.... we are NOT kids. This is not high school where that big guy takes your girl and bitch around all year to your detriment. Look at politics, look at all the nasty things people say about each other, but when its time to work together, burry the hatchet and move on. Hafthor, for heaven sake, move on and compete at WSM. Its for your own good. Breaking the record, will not shut anyone up. Eddie is still the first human to prove this was possible. Your feat will be the test of strength, a decade later. Accept that and move on. We are not kids. Be a man!
You make it sound like it's easy to break the deadlift record if you have 4 years to spare? Still, no one has lifted 1 kg more since almost 5 years ago
Hafthor was the first guy to prove that 501 was possible without struggling. his record stands longer than Eddie's already. Being a man of your word and not wanting to work for someone who treated you wrong, no matter what money they offer, is not being a kid. It's called having principles and not wanting people who don't deserve it to earn money off your name. They would never come crawl back like they do or apologize if thor stayed retired, so anything they say is purely to being able to profit off him as a competitor again. WSM and GL need thor much more than thor needs them, i can absolutely understand him
I mean yes Eddie was stronger than Haftor once upon a time, but then he passed him. I'm older than Eddie and I've been stronger than Eddie once too. Who cares? The important thing is who lifted the most weight.
Eddie is a true great sportman and yes, was rooting Mitch cause he did know that Mitch wont do BS livestreamrecord. He would have rooting Thor also but only if it would have been in competition.
What does he have to gain from competing in a competition that trashed his name? That has shown to rig its lifts to align with the athletes they want to win.
@@Misterred-GW2 I agree that WSM has proven to be an unfair competition and biased and geared toward drama for TV and other views. The organizers certainly have pet favorites. It's sort of like wrestling in a sense, except they do use real weights. You could use their drama against themselves, by writing your own story and of course by playing with their rules. Thor is so good, I'm sure he can deal with whatever is thrown against him and still show he's a fair competitor. But it's certainly a decision that is his to make. There is something to be said for him not participating. He'd stay true to his word. That is very important. But if he stays sportsmanlike, the world will see and judge and be on his side. He could win on their turf and make them have to face the facts. Now he's sort of letting the past control his future in a way, but I'm just rambling. It would be great having him compete there and obliterate deadlifts records, for example. No competition is perfect.
By accepting attendance in the WSM, with the opportunity to break the deadlift record, Thor would have a unique chance to shut Giants Live/Colin Bryce/Eddie Hall up for good - AND get to be the better man.

Hafthor is already the better man than Colin/Eddie
@giovannicupello1977 I agree.
we all know what has Colin's hand been up to so perhaps just a thumb up
$150,000 is a well deserved prize for Hafthor for the 505

Accept that and move on. We are not kids. Be a man!
You make it sound like it's easy to break the deadlift record if you have 4 years to spare? Still, no one has lifted 1 kg more since almost 5 years ago
Hafthor was the first guy to prove that 501 was possible without struggling. his record stands longer than Eddie's already. Being a man of your word and not wanting to work for someone who treated you wrong, no matter what money they offer, is not being a kid. It's called having principles and not wanting people who don't deserve it to earn money off your name. They would never come crawl back like they do or apologize if thor stayed retired, so anything they say is purely to being able to profit off him as a competitor again. WSM and GL need thor much more than thor needs them, i can absolutely understand him
I mean yes Eddie was stronger than Haftor once upon a time, but then he passed him. I'm older than Eddie and I've been stronger than Eddie once too. Who cares? The important thing is who lifted the most weight.
Eddie is a true great sportman and yes, was rooting Mitch cause he did know that Mitch wont do BS livestreamrecord.
He would have rooting Thor also but only if it would have been in competition.

After Eddie retired, it opened possibility to others become best deadlifter.
I think he will accept. If he's smart, he'll do it.
If he's smart he won't. Unless they offer him some good money and/or a proper apology
What does he have to gain from competing in a competition that trashed his name? That has shown to rig its lifts to align with the athletes they want to win.
Why would he want to compete at a 4th rate and corrupt event lol? Not in a million years and for a million dollars will u see him at WSM/ Giants Live
There isn't much to gain for Thor
@@Misterred-GW2 I agree that WSM has proven to be an unfair competition and biased and geared toward drama for TV and other views. The organizers certainly have pet favorites. It's sort of like wrestling in a sense, except they do use real weights. You could use their drama against themselves, by writing your own story and of course by playing with their rules. Thor is so good, I'm sure he can deal with whatever is thrown against him and still show he's a fair competitor. But it's certainly a decision that is his to make. There is something to be said for him not participating. He'd stay true to his word. That is very important. But if he stays sportsmanlike, the world will see and judge and be on his side. He could win on their turf and make them have to face the facts. Now he's sort of letting the past control his future in a way, but I'm just rambling. It would be great having him compete there and obliterate deadlifts records, for example. No competition is perfect.
