you know very, veeeeeeeeeery little about Eddie then. He's the most #$$ personality the sport of Strongman has ever seen. The only reason he's not forever banned in any sports is because A)very people pay attention to this kind of behaviour, for example you didn't know about it, and B) he's British, therefore will get a pass with most of Strongman fans, because most are British.
Way better! He did it so easily to Hafthor like it's child's play, and it was so unexpected with Brian Shaw because Brian is super nice and Eddie managed to get into his head in just a few minutes like cake. Devon Larratt's mind games makes people laugh most of the time. Eddie's mind games are able to get people heated up
These two guys just injected an absolutely massive dose of excitement into this sport and I'm so here for it! Can't wait to see both of them develop and the audiences grow!
Honestly this may usher in a new Era of arm wrestling. I've always thought that armwrestling is the perfect sport for a freshly retired strongman with their grip, lat, and bicep strength( the ridiculous size goes without saying) We may see armwrestling become the first stop for strongman competitors, bringing in a new wave to dominate the sport
But this was WAY more entertaining and both these guys are incredibly likeable. Devon has become the most unlikeable person on the table in all of AW, no matter his ability.
@@arryharryyou like eddie trashtalking in the sport cuz he’s new and someone from a more famous sport in the world of strength trying out this sport and u just want to be careful for him to like the sport. Pretty much Eddie is just doing the same thing as Devon and you hate Devon when all they do is the same thing. What a clown for hating Devon for doing the same thing as Eddie is doing. Just because Eddie is somewhat still a “guest” in the sport. PS. I keep repeating that Eddie and Devon are doing the same thing just to let u know how much biased u people are 🤣
@@arryharrythat's a avg Denis fangirl comment. Look Devon is the most entertaining person in the AW sport and he got the most fans in AW for a reason.
I was kinda indifferent on Eddie but he def won me over with this. He’s the exact kinda person made for the current arm wrestling scene. It would benefit EVERYONE for him to return ASAP.
Hopefully Brian can be like a Paul Linn being late to the sport, highly successful, but very nice, while Eddie can be another Devon with his trash talk and big personality
Brits are pretty good at it generally. Bisping, Hall, McGregor (ok he's proper Irish, not British, but still, the 'piss taking' humour is pretty common across all those isles)
One of the best aspects of this whole thing is how invested Neil was in Eddie. The emotion you hear from Neil doesn't occur without having your entire heart in it. I've never been more a fan of this sport than I am right now, I cannot explain how proud I am of this despite having nothing to do with it. I've never experienced anything like this from football or baseball or MMA. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching them, but armwrestling makes me feel something.
Eddie is an example of entertaining trash talk. He is at a disadvantage in every way and is making the most of it. Other guys are unsportsmanlike with their trash talk. Eddie is punching up here.
This was even better then i expected, i always love watching them doing their stuff but this was another level of entertainment and delivered brutally too Thanks for this moment i guess :D
I love you for doing this. By you I mean absolutely everyone involved, including the guy that did the electricity and plumbing for the venue. This is amazing!!!
Lord Neil, thank you for taking the time to listen to me. even though my timing wasn't the best you looked straight at me and gave me all your attention. you changed my stars brother; wish you knew how much! side note, CORE SPORTS interviewed me just before i met Neil Pickup, it was so cool!!!!! please god in heaven have an annual event in NJ
I talked to Neil after the event and was also struck by how attentive he was, asking me questions about what I thought and listening to me, somebody he’s never met. I will never forget it.
Eddie did better than I expected based on how short his training was... but if Brian figures a few more things out, he's going to be an animal in this sport.
I am worried that he may not become a top 10. If his body is still healthy after all the years in strongmen than maybe, but I am not so sure. also people forget that the armwrestling top 10 is made of freaks
I was scared for everybody in the vicinity of Eddie Hall 😂😂 he was jacked the hell up then got Brian jacked up it was probably one of my favorite matches ever!
The sound quality was really good. Great production. Great video. Large audience. Love it. Sounded like his wrist broke at 20:53 but he said it was just microphone falling.
What an example of showman ,human feelings,sportsmanship and strength. Hard work and technique and with great sportsmanship shows us life to the full. Eddie and Brian will go way beyond strongman and set a fine example to. Anyone in life and sport amazing the day Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall were born we are blessed to have these 2 walking on planet earth.
I don't know him apart from watching his TH-cam videos and I think that's just who he is. And Eddie knows that. I trust both know they are just playing games as well, making this just a lot of fun to watch. Like two very big friends having a brawl.
How you expect him to take it? Everyone put him as massive favourite and eddies mind games.. like what choice did he have but to be serious about it to not nose and forever get trash talked for it..
Brian is many things, but a competitor first. He compartmentalizes very well; games are games, competition is competition, and friendship is friendship. As soon as the ref says go, his long-standing friendship with Eddie was in a different dimension and that's probably a good thing
Damn, Eddies couldve actually won if he knew how to slip and get the strap. Also Eddie is better than Devon at the trashtalking and mind games, I love it. What an absolute natural
Slipping from a person with top 10 grip strength at a minimum on the entire planet is pretty difficult, that will be his biggest strength if he continues
Both are champions in my book. You gotta give it to Eddie, he's really being a great friend here and a great sport. He knows he will lose yet he fights on, entertains the hell out of us and he is there to provide an excellent training ground for his friend who is embarking on a new career path. Bravo!
As a man who has armwrestling as the number 1 sport, it's been amazing seeing these 2 guys on the table. I hope they'll stay in the sport, they can cause a lot of issues in the rankings in a few years
I cant think Devon is scared of Eddie. He was special forces, 7 tours of Afghanistan, injured in line of duty, he's been in situations most humans, including Eddie can only have nightmares about. I'm not saying Eddie wouldn't win a fight, he's a beast of a fighter....but Devon scared, I highly doubt it.
What an amazing person Eddie Hall is! A real spirit of rivalry, a real fight. He could break the hold, but he kept pushing until the end. Only respect for Eddie, a real knight!
Tbh I think the only one not doing all that for the entertainment factor was Brian. Devon and Eddie definitely like to gas people up for the hype. Brian was locked TF in
For anyone confused by the stats, Eddie's bicep is 24in lol. And I'm gonna say i have been following both these guys for many years, and seeing them at the table is amazing. Not only for entertainment but for armwrestling, and I really hope they both pursue it further. I have had the honor of watching them in Strongman for a long time, and now, in armwrestling, and it is absolutely awesome.
These 2 guys are gonna raise the popularity of arm wrestling to a whole new level. Eddie is putting on one hell of a show.
También hay que pulsear 😅
great decision posting this one sooner rather than later. it has the potential to go viral.
Brian is good for bringing people into the sport, Eddie will get views because hes a character, he always has been.
I doubt it
the scum generation of today likes dickheads like him, cause they have no balls to do it themselves
LMAO did not expect Eddie's mind games to be as good as devons
If not better 🔥🔥🔥
Even better 😂😂😂
I hope he never leaves armwrestling
Eddie is good at getting into people's head's 👌🏼

thought you were gonna say something else
I was gonna say "Brian for the potential, Eddie for the entertainment value" but Eddie showed so much potential too. not doubt about it.
Honestly this may usher in a new Era of arm wrestling. I've always thought that armwrestling is the perfect sport for a freshly retired strongman with their grip, lat, and bicep strength( the ridiculous size goes without saying) We may see armwrestling become the first stop for strongman competitors, bringing in a new wave to dominate the sport
Eddie did such a great job. Respect. I hope to see him again on the table.

they used strap only once and Eddie won that round what do you mean lol..anyway they are both legends and everyone of them can win in his own way
To be fair, Eddie did better in the straps. He’s just an explosive guy and ran out of it. (Hanse the complaining at the end from him)

Look Devon is the most entertaining person in the AW sport and he got the most fans in AW for a reason.
20:55 Man this pin was so good that even the referee smiled at Brian
eddy was talking mad sh* about brian not slipping out that he just had to die on that hill himself lmao
Pay whatever these men want and get them more involved in the sport. This was just awesome.
15:53 Didnt know Arnold attended the show!
Bro that's a great catch 😂😂😂
He literally was shouting the whole event lol
hahaha made my evening bro
_Choppaaaahhh...!_
where he is? i dont see him? or just maybe heard his voice ...
I was kinda indifferent on Eddie but he def won me over with this. He’s the exact kinda person made for the current arm wrestling scene. It would benefit EVERYONE for him to return ASAP.
Hopefully Brian can be like a Paul Linn being late to the sport, highly successful, but very nice, while Eddie can be another Devon with his trash talk and big personality
At this point Eddie is the final boss of trash talking
He demolished Devon
It's not hard you just have to be better than Devon
Brits are pretty good at it generally. Bisping, Hall, McGregor (ok he's proper Irish, not British, but still, the 'piss taking' humour is pretty common across all those isles)

The irony is Eddie would have probably won if he went for the straps
If he trained arm wrestling he would have some of the best back pressure of all time. That's how he broke the world record deadlifting.
devons needed a bully like eddie for so long to balance out his predation lmao
Brian and Eddie being involved in arm wrestling is a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to see both again!
WE GONNA BREAK THE INTERNET WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
😂 Not even close
Eddie is brilliant “GET THE STRAP”🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LET’S GOOO BRIAN

Thanks for this moment i guess :D
They replaced the intro music in the recording due to TH-cam copyright, in person Eddie walked out to 7 nation army and Brian had Thunderstruck
True
Ahhhh I thought I noticed that thanks
What is the tune they overlapped their original tunes called?
SEEING TWO WSM GO AT IT WAS PRETTY DANG COOL- been a while since the world seen this!
I love you for doing this. By you I mean absolutely everyone involved, including the guy that did the electricity and plumbing for the venue. This is amazing!!!
One of the best and most entertaining matches i have ever seen. Wow

He seems like a nice bloke
Man think of how strong the West will be with these two on it. Jesus
Definitely one of the matches ever!
This is factually true!
No way..
Eddie has excellent endurance for someone who just started arm wrestling 😮
While screaming during the pulls too
@hugo-pg5tv exactly
It was the one of best matches I have ever seen.
absolutely brilliant theatre, can't wait to see more of these guys
It's WWE meets armwrestling

That dig at halfthor I'm the beginning is amazing 😂😂
"Just say go!" lol......Doesn't take a genius to figure out who taught Brian that.
See? If coresports would upload this, it would take for ages. Thank you east vs west
14:11 thanks for letting me borrow your hand, now you can have it back 😂
I just cant believe that they have done this, and thrusted popularity. Just briliant from them both. Love this guys!
Bro eddies energy is amazing
I had no IDEA that this happened! THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!
Eddie Hall can challenge Devon Laratt to Trash Talking 😂😂
What an example of showman ,human feelings,sportsmanship and strength.
Hard work and technique and with great sportsmanship shows us life to the full.
Eddie and Brian will go way beyond strongman and set a fine example to. Anyone in life and sport amazing the day Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall were born we are blessed to have these 2 walking on planet earth.
11:14 best part 😂
21:03 Devon's like- That's not what i taught you Brian
Yeah Brain forgot to regrip higher, but Eddie was doing it. May be he wasn't two comfortable with the height
I would love to see them run it back in the future!
That was great. But dam, Devon has blown this sport into the stratosphere. What a legend. GOAT.
Eddie seems in really good spirit! Love to see it. Brian is a cool guy, but seems to take this a little close to heart.
I don't know him apart from watching his TH-cam videos and I think that's just who he is. And Eddie knows that. I trust both know they are just playing games as well, making this just a lot of fun to watch. Like two very big friends having a brawl.

The fact that Eddie won in the straps with Brian is just incredible really

Eddie moving like the uk version of Devon 😂😂
Not what I expected… AMAZING
I really think that Eddie could have won if he had go to the straps
He was enjoying the trash talk too much and will forever be telling Brian that he let him win.
@@seismic6402 Eddie didn't keep track of the score

He knows he will lose yet he fights on, entertains the hell out of us and he is there to provide an excellent training ground for his friend who is embarking on a new career path. Bravo!
Eddie hall more bicep than brian and levan impossible this is wrong
There always errors in the stats
For me is 59 not 69 cm
The stats are always wrong, they always mess up the conversion from inches and cm too😂
it was probably 59 not 69
I was like there’s no way his biceps that much bigger than Brian’s
This crossover is crazy good! Kinda wierd seeing theese two in the spotlight at the table. But im all in for it!
These two bring a lot to the table.
As a man who has armwrestling as the number 1 sport, it's been amazing seeing these 2 guys on the table. I hope they'll stay in the sport, they can cause a lot of issues in the rankings in a few years
That's was great! Everyone was great!
Each time I see Devon, he's a few steps closer to turn into a full-fledged Smeagol. The voice, the hair, the posture, everything. How does he do that?
Met Brian day before event in the casino.. this man was a true gentleman and GIANT!
Brian truly is a specimen lmao
Eddie Hall was low key on Brian's side the whole time. Good friend right there.

This was so great-can't wait to see a rematch!
On idea about the table:
Why not(if boath athletes agree)an additional bigger table for bigger men?
one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen❤
Tbh I think the only one not doing all that for the entertainment factor was Brian. Devon and Eddie definitely like to gas people up for the hype. Brian was locked TF in
Man the competitive aggression is real between these guys lol
If this isn’t entertaining…I don’t know what is. Excellent!!
Jesus, imagine having 400 pounds of muscle in a 6’8” frame staring you down in pure anger…like looking into the eyes of a grizzly
Eddie gives me eric cartman vibes😂😂😂😂
Both those guys are amazing for the sport.
it is great to see Brian having homeless people in his corner helping him out, true humanitarian.

the music makes it sick af in the beginning lol too bad its from the video and not the actual music playing there. really makes it badass
People on planet earth will not go far wrong following the example Devon,Eddie and Brian set on planet earth amazing fine example people.
Thank you Engin!
guys you have to add some tags to this video. This should be the next biggest video on this channel
