Both Brian and Hafthor needed this one on one conversation. Hafthor transitioning from fighter to strongman and Brian doing the exact opposite, at the same exact time in their careers. Between them, there’s no one else in this world that can relate. Just reading the comments, prayers goes to Hafthor’s family and to answer the video’s question, Hafthor has earned the “always welcome to the Shaw Classic” with all the battles you’ve both been through. The brotherhood in strongman is unmatched and separately I hope Eddie and Hafthor bury the hatchet in the near future. Much love and respect to both of them.

@@liamc7097 Yes, I think so. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Thor get top 3 at the ASC. He's an experienced athlete and I've never known a man to put on strength and size as quickly as Thor. But you never know what might happen, hopefully be brings it and performs well but obviously he's going through some personal trauma right so it's a little in the air tbh.

In person, i'd imagine that Brian is still a tad bit wider than non-450 Thor. Both of them probably have said "holy shit" when they've seen each other at each other's largest and strongest.

So my vote is Thor should be at the 2024 Shaw show live. If he wants to compete that’s up to him. He’s been through a lot recently and staying healthy and supporting his family are the most important priorities for him right now. But Brian please stop playing games with the invite as internet idiots read into this stuff way too much. Be kind enough to extend the invite and if he turns it down then there’s always next year.

I think Brian is going to stick with his idea of inviting the current top athletes. Its not really a legacy think like WSM. Hafthor can easily prove himself at the arnold's

Halfthors best performances were the most dominant the sport has ever seen. I believe his new found appreciation for conditioning will only make him better.

11:15 As someone who has trained Muay Thai for 15 years and coached for 8 all the comments on Thor and Eddie's boxing videos as well as on Brian's MMA videos (I dabble in Jiu Jitsu as some of my friends coach it at the same gym) make me laugh. 99.9999% of the people making comments like that have never trained combat sports, and 99% of them are just casual fans of combat sports who think they know everything. Very rarely would you see any of them making valid criticisms that weren't just broad statements like "his punches look slow". Not a single one of them could offer up a correction to improve those shortcomings.
