What Romark & Martins are doing with Srength Unkown is brilliant, the highest quality in strength content (in terms of filming, editing etc), only matched by Rogue who probably have a way bigger budget. And they cover things no one would ever think about, can't praise them enough.

The show is insanely good and Martins getting better and better as a narrator is fun to listen to.

@youtubeconnollyfamily 7 ай бұрын

It’s a genius move because I think they did it in the hopes a network will pick it up and turn it into a show even if they get one season. They can make good money but I’m sure they’re also doing it because they love to do that.

Thor wandering in the background lol. Great to see Martins going back at it and figure we'd hear why he is not considering the Shaw Classic lol. Turns out the 8 really heavy events are difficult. I feel like Shaw's show is very safe though. Not too many injuries as opposed to other shows! Martins should do it!

Doubt it. I respect Martins a lot, believe me, but without the injury Hafthor would have destroyed everyone in 2019. Also, in my honest (but not very knowledgeable opinion I admit) Hooper is just at another level, just a wild evolution, better than almost anyone if you average out all events. He just lacks pure static strength and again, he's not bad in that either

I really loved that when martins was talking about needing to work extra hard because he doesnt think hes as strong as the other guys, the entire time brian is listening carefuly, when martins talks about working extra hard, bian is nodding, and saying yeah, but the moment that martins says he's not as strong, you dont see a single nod from brian, not a single "yeah", brian is quiet and still. I just love that amount of respect brian has for all other strong men. That wasnt forced, or concious, or scripted, that's just pure respect.

It's crazy to me that Martins and Hafthor are coming back to the scene. Tom, Mitch, Martins, Hafthor, and Oleksii all competing in one event is maybe the most stacked event ever. 5 different guys accounting for the last 6 WSM and many other championships all in one event? That's almost impossible probabilities.

Brian - I remember years ago you were talking about all the up and coming (at the time) strongmen like Martins and you said that whoever could stay the healthiest would have the best career. I bet Martins heard you or else he understood this strategy as well and that's why he's really picked and chosen his events in recent times. Best of luck to both you guys!

Martins is so cool. It would've been so easy for him to say he planned to do The Shaw Classic and then not but he has integrity. I think the perceived animosity was a product of the beef between Eddie and Thor. With you guys being their best friends some people might of thought you wouldn't like each other. I can't wait to see Strength Unkown Japan. Strength Unknown is like a travel series but so good that you get immersed and actually feel like you experienced it too. Maybe it feels so different because most travel series feel like they are trying to sell the trip and it just shows you the place and people.
