Mitch is Canadian Thanos

Hi Mitch. I am English and a massive Tom fan so was gutted wen he didn't get 3 in a row. However I thought you were absolutely brilliant. I warned people you were the man to watch out for but I didn't expect you to win in such dominant style. I think if you want it you can be the greatest ever especially if you carry on making such fast improvements. You and Tom can bring the best out of each other and I hope you both stay in strongman at least another 5 years. At least!!!!! World's strongest man has neva been better, you are a most worthy winner Well done mitch, what a monster! Thanks

This guy just shows what genetics really mean. He's the most gifted athlete ever to compete in strongman

Man, followed you since Sydney University days - so glad to see you on the world stage, and what an inspiration across the fitness spectrum (from your marathon running days, to powerlifting, and now winning the WSM 2023). So proud of you mate - and hope to see you succeed across many years of competition as a healthy athlete and awesome guy!

Welcome back. I loved the content and natural/personal experiences. I am inspired by your story and use the positive energy as inspiration in my daily routine/work out. Enjoy the day

Congratulations! Now I have someone to watch in strongman. Great job. Way to be humble and great!

Thanks for bringing the trophy home to Canada 🇨🇦 Mitch. We are all so proud of you!

You’re an amazing athlete brother. Keep up the great work. Love following and watching you. Great job!

Congratulations on your win. This is your best video yet I like seeing your puppy in the reflection of the globe.

Was a blast to watch in person, very cool to see you take the win!

Brian Shaw's stone off in the group stages was absolutely awesome. A top highlight of the whole competition, crazy that a top highlight came from the group stages. This WSM was amazing to watch.

Amazing job Man. You are an inspiration. Bringing those 2 trophies home to Canada makes me proud to be Canadian and proud to be a fan of strongman

I've always supported Brian at least since 2016,so i was hoping he would get it,but he still done so well....but i must say Mitch came blasting onto the scence with freakishly immediate results agains the best athletes in the world at the same time with such a great outlook & attitude...so when it was clear Brian was not going to have that dream finish Mitch was my next favourite & boy did you deliver,i am all the way in Australia so i was relying on uncle Loz & aunty Liz for the results of each results as well as KZfaq posts,well done moose,well played well deserved, look forward to many more amazing accomplishments.👏

You’ve had an awesome year. Congrats. 👍🏻💪🏼

I still want to say thank you so much for coming outside in the rain Saturday morning. You knew we were out there in a delay and you came out to meet the fans before you were competing in the finals. To me that was amazing. I gave some of those stickers you gave out to my young boys.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations brother! You’re the future of the sport and love the content man! 💪

Congrats!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Love the honesty and transparency 👌🏻💪🏻

Congratulations on a amazing year so far.

Congratulations again! This is tremendous

The content has been superb lately Mitch, can't wait to watch you complete live in London for giants live!!

I was watching together with - I think almost 7000 others - in Loz' live stream - and as soon as your last stone rolled over the edge and Loz started to celebrate almost 7000 simultaneous posts with "YES!" (and similar things) did fly into the chat. It was amazing... never was a boring "waiting for a spreadsheet" stream soooooooooooooo nerve wrecking, funny and thrilling. congrats again and stay healthy.

You are an inspiration.

Great job, one hell of a year!!!!

Great job! Keep it up.

Absolutely awesome show! We managed to see every event except bus pull.Thanks to a quick run to Walmart after the heats we got some platforms to stand on because we knew the finals was gonna be insane with the turn out of people! Awesome job Mitch can’t wait to watch you get the grand slam this year.

You are a legend, Sir! God bless!

Again congratulations on your win, much deserved! Now the road to being worthy to be in the same list as Brian, Z and Thor begins 💪

Congratulations Mitch on all your success! As a fellow Torontonian I'm invested in seeing what else you will achieve with this platform. I hope this puts strongman on the map in Canada and there's substantial changes for strength, fitness and health at the local gyms.

I love these kinds of videos, it's really interesting to hear about what you were thinking and how the events played out from the perspective of the man himself. Been loving your channel since i found it after your win! I'm a big fan now!

I think you did incredible! I think all the competitors are great strongmen (I wish they could ALL win!) and the increased level of competition makes it one of the best sports to watch for fans. Moose, you're an inspiration inside and outside of strongman. Keep up the good work!

🦀 moose awesome run so far!! Keep it up! Thx for the insights!

Mitch, you are just damn awesome.....all the best from a danish fan

What poise on you young lad!! An old soul for sure... Congrats Mitch!!!

I called this win after watching the Arnold's, the only thing I got wrong is how close Tom would be to Mitch and I hoped Brian would have podiumed but I knew that was a big call but I hoped. Mitch can only get better and I see him and Tom battling each other for years to come, who knows what newcomer is waiting in the wings to shine. Big respect to the Moose for the win.

Amazing how close of a comp it was! Great job to all!

U are a great person to represent the strong man. Very nice and easy to listen to. Looking forward to see moore from you. Huge congratulationsb😁😁😁😁

They NEED to do a live stream. Viewership would SKYROCKET. Was great to see you / WSM in person for the first time. Congratulations 🙏

Well done on your first title. I just hope that they can sort out any problems that arose this year

Proud of you from the American side of the family!

Awesome!

Awesome work!

I was there for the two qualifying days and on day one of the finals; i would've stayed, but I didn't want to deal with the crowds on Sunday. It was nice meeting you, Mitch, and looking forward to you having a successful career wherever you go.

It’s also difficult to apply consistency when the reasoning behind the “softness” of each is totally different. You didn’t stand up straight but had elbow locked out. Evan didn’t lock out the elbow etc. I wouldn’t even call it soft reffing, I’d call it sloppy. And I don’t think we should accept that

Well done, Mitchell. Best man over the two days, as simple as that. Positive thoughts only... I liked seeing your dog wag his tail in the reflection of the WSM trophy 😊

Congratulations Mitch! You earned it.

Congratulations! Just liked, subscribed and bought a shirt. In addition to your candid approach to sharing your philosophy on training and diet I’d personally appreciate open and honest information on PEDs. I know it’s the taboo thing that athletes and public figures typically avoid talking about, but let’s all move past the BS and be honest about these things.

Big mitch you make Canada proud can't wait to watch you do incredible things in the near future

This year is going to be great for strongman. I got a feeling it's on now.

This guy is freaking amazing! A true beast that came outta of the blue. Former marathon runner plus a bodybuilder, powerlifter turned Strongman and winning it all. And still relatively young for a strength athlete with a very bright future. These athletes are just getting better and better

Good, humble, strong guy. Congrats!

Now a lot of my coworkers know about strongman. My wife and I were so happy when you won. Congrats Mitch. Cheers from Ottawa.

Congratulations Mitch. A great performance indeed.

You did so good and so did all the guys. I wish world, strongest man was not the Premier event for the sport but it is and I think everyone did really good and from what I could tell on the clips online very good and entertaining contest.

Appreciate this raw video giving your thoughts or ‘How it was’ as Oleksii would say! The furry interruptions at the end 🤣 Looking forward to congratulating you in person at the Royal Albert Hall 👑🦀

Congrats dude, well done ...such a level head too. Hope youre abke to maintain this without too much cost to your overall health.

Loved watching in person, tell them to do Myrtle again and I’ll bring the whole family. Bleachers are a must.

BEAST! making Canada proud!

Humility will take you further in life - one day at a time.

Just a friendly FYI, Martins Licis is also in that group that won the Arnold’s and WSM in the same year.

Only strongman athletes I followed were Eddie and Brian. After viewing a couple vids and Yo man I’m a new fan. Most humble and down to earth I feel like and to win they strongest man award this year, congrats and keep it going brotha.

Congratz mate! You seem more like the every bloke :)

The very first time I saw you compete at Rogue, where you got 3rd, I had this feeling you would win WSM, or at least be in the top 5. That is so awesome you won 1st! It makes me feel like a good predictor of sporting events. Also I noticed you had a little more athletic build than some of the other strength athletes. Which is probably from your days as a distance runner. I also did distance running in my early 20s, before I really started serious strength training in my late 20s. Basically I am saying your performance at WSM has been a major inspiration to me doing regular strength training in the gym. As your training history seems a lot more like mine compared to former WSM First place winners. Plus I believe you said you only consume about 5000 calories daily. It just proves everyone is different. Great job! Very inspirational!

First off, as a Canadian. I am super thrilled that you smashed it! I really wanted Brian to win 5 but your win really shakes up the group which adds to the drama.. Also, the Moose logo is awesome. Keep smashing! Congrats! ps, the magic element was that beer.

I completely disagree on the judging side. I think it needs official rules so that there aren’t as many discrepancies and controversies.

Great job and thanks for the analysis, obviously couldn't grasp much of what was going on with just Eddie's recap XD You should really put the links to your website/store in the video description by the way, makes it easier to find your stuff. Go Canada!

Congratulations on your win Mitch! Absolutly crazy! Scary to think about how good you can become. You still have many more years to develop! Maybe one day you'll make a video about what it's like to win your 6th WSM titles😉 What do you think of my profile picture btw?😃

Those trophies look awesome!

Brother, as a fellow Canadian, I truly couldn't be happier for your well earned success. You seem like a genuinely nice guy, and you're an absolute beast on the competition floor. May this WSM trophy be the first of many to come, and all the best to you and yours! Cheers!

Well, I rooted for Brian, because last year and all, followed him for years, wanted #5 to be the way he wound up his career - but fair play to you, you did amazingly well and I'm sure Brian wouldn't want to win anyway unless you were giving it your all so I can't fault you for beating him or the others! I'll also be honest - I didn't see it coming UNTIL the heats were over and I realized that it wasn't just going to be Tom Stoltman and Oleksii Novikov that were going to be the main threats to his win but also YOU as well - tough year to be trying to win, and you were clearly ahead of the pack, so there's no getting around that you were the best performer this year. I'm impressed, and count me a fan - look forward to what you'll do in the future! Also, MAN, what a cool trophy. I've never won a trophy for ANYTHING in my entire life - always wanted to, never did - and that's about the coolest one in the world. MY question is, for Brian, from YOUR observation on the ground, what happened there with him? Because he SEEMED to do quite well on several events in the heats and then just COMPLETELY fell flat on his face in the finals and it was really odd to see - do you think it was the stoneoff in the heats that spent his energy and cost him? I've just never seen him like this - especially on fingal's fingers. That was a shock. ANYWAY, proud of you, Mitch. So well done. I'm SURE it won't be your last win, either, if you keep on like this. EDIT: seems you kind of addressed the thing with Brian and the stoneoff with Rauno - I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that might have really been tough to recover from in time for the finals and may have cost him *especially* with the shield carry as the first event, which can't have been easy on him.

Don't know how you did yet 😅 as in the UK we have to wait until Christmas to watch it on the TV. It's a tradition going back to ancient times, ok the 1970's i think, where we all eat a lot of extra food while watching you guys lift really heavy weights. Looking forward to getting my new t-shirts, just got the email confirmation as I started watching this video, and also looking forward to seeing you back in Glasgow

Amazes me how off the cuff the rules are every single worlds. Things should be sorted well in advanced. Its not like its their first time.

As an Englishman that's never been to the USA I'm very intrigued to know what mainland America is like after your comments. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Beautiful trophy!

Congratulations

Sweet video mitch. I think you should get a dedicated mic for your videos. It would make your awesome videos greater

I was rooting for Brian but that wasn't in the cards. Congratulations on the win, Mitchell!!!! I am happy for you!!!!!

💪💪💪💪💪

I think you will inspire a lot of people to take up strong man because you proved that you don't have to be 6'8 and 400lbs to be great. Even back to the Pudzianowski days, though he was not a giant, he had such a freakish physique. Freaks and giants, compared to them, you appear to be a "normal" guy, and that is good for the growth of the sport.

TOP JOB Mitch

💪

Smashed it brother, can't wait to meet you again at Arnold's next year, do you think you'll have a merch booth? See you in March

Hooper!!!! 💪💪💪💪

I so can't wait to see you win the Shaw classic as well. In my opinion that show is the hardest one to win

Congratulations on WSM! There was a bit of an echo. Maybe closer to the camera or a mic. Excellent attitude about sport. Thank you for the content & just know if you have a lot of haters,,,you are doing something right & they are jealous of fast success!!

I think Mitch's Team he brings everywhere is why he won (just like Thor's team) so good job everyone that helped him

Completely unrelated but I thought that those little arches on the side of your desk were cracks on my phone screen and I got scared for a sec

First; A huge congrats on the win. I am a low level strongman competitor, but I train with a guy who was "the corner man" for a WSM competitor. He is always telling me before a contest, see how the refs are calling something and adapt to that. So I agree with you on the adapt to how things are being called. Personally I don't care about strict or soft calls, I just want the refs to be consistent.

mitch’s attitude towards competing and sports is admirable and his ability to stay focused on the big picture over the minutiae too

Again, congratulations, fantastic win! I'd agree that the soft calls worked out ok because they were consistent. I'd also say it would be the refs responsibility to inform all the athletes prior to the competition if s/he planned on being very tough. No-one should discover that fact with a refused lift. But i also think a locked out elbow is a bigger deal than being tilted. Thank you for this video.

I disagree with your view on pavlos carry because he first got the ok signal from the Referee.

No matter what happens with the refereeing, everyone says the same thing, good or bad -- they just want consistency. I agree. Whatever they do moving forward, just try to be as consistent and transparent as possible. Congrats!

Amesome Mitch! We have to come up for a good nickname for you…King Crab? The Barrie-cuda? 🤣💪🇨🇦

Never heard of Mitch before this years wsm, but he seems a very honest down to earth likeable guy

Very proud moment for Canadian fans!

First congrats you killed it man! I don’t know if you guys have or not. But do the athletes push for the WSM to be televised live? It’s a damn shame and hurts the sport.

❤

Licis won both WSM and Arnolds too! 😊

after watching your performance at the arnolds i had a feeling you would be a contender for 1st at wsm. grats bud
