The shot of Brian and Mitch on top of the stairs with all the other strongmen behind them was epic

When you need a forklift to reset the weights just moved, you know these guys are super human. 👍

Cant wait to see this show become as large as arnolds. The events are the best among all strongman shows

Hooper is just so canadian. Class act all around

Brian has got to be one of or if not the most respected guy in the strongman world, the guy is just a class act.. I'm so happy the Shaw Classic is quickly becoming one of the best shows of the year. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love the sportsmanship from Hooper.

Yes! The announcers in the other videos have been touting this, now we get to see it. Thank you, Brian, for organizing such a world class event.

One of the best strongman competitions in history, and Brian goes out victorious! Well done, Brian Shaw!

Mid competition, Hooper took it upon himself to stop competing and turn his attention to Brian. That's a class act, I see it almost like handing off the torch. Brian has been such an influential figure in the strongman space, Hooper knew he owed him those last 30 seconds. What a career for Brian, never gets old watching him compete.

I remember watching scream holding those poles….” I will be the WSM”, yrs ago!!! Congratulations Brian, you are the MAN!!. Class act 💯 %.

Thank you Brian for everything

Seeing this in person was so insane, such an awesome moment to witness

What an incredible moment. It's one that I will never forget! I am SO GRATEFUL to have had the privileged of being in attendance. I wish I could have been there to watch everything and take in all the sights and sounds, but I was recovering from a TBI and this was the first live event I had been to since the accident and it got super overwhelming for me at times. But when the opportunity came along to attend the event, to go with one of my best friends from College that I hadn't seen in a long time, and the fact that it was Brian Shaw's last competition I had to try and I had to do whatever I could to be able to watch as much as I could. Brian is 100% what got me to become a fan of strongman. I had seen clips online here and there, but it wasn't until 2013-2014 that I really started following the sport. I'm from Colorado and don't live to far from the area Brian lives. When I saw a clip of Brian for the first time and saw he was from Brighton Colorado it grabbed my attention. It was in the middle of his dominance and he pulled me in. I think under different circumstances I could have done well in strongman. I was around 6' 200+lbs by 13-14 and I was naturally very strong. I come from a line of blue collar workers who were known for their strength. My grandpa was still doing 1 arm pullups and pushups at 75 and my Great-grandfather I'm told was a monster of a man in his day (early to mid 1900s). He was 6'6 285-290 and very lean. He worked on the railroads, and it's was reported by a number of his coworkers that he was able to picking up a railcar axle and turning it around on the track. From the looking I've done online it is not possible that's what he did. He would have had to have been the strongest man in history if he could actually have done that. I don't know what he was actually lifting, but the point is he was known for his strength by all his Coworkers. My parents could see my natural strength from a very young age and as I got into my teenage years they fostered that nature ability. They got me a weight set, and my Dad, who is very strong in his own right, helped show me how to do things safely. Around those same years I started having severe health issues and I was in and out of the hospital a lot and was physically unable to do much for long stretches at a time. Throughout the last 20 years I have gone through periods of very poor health where the only training I could do would be getting out of bed and walking to the other side of the room and back. At other times I was able to go to the gym and make huge strides. It is easy to lose focus and get upset because of the ups and downs, but at the end of the day, if I can honestly look back and say I have done everything I could do, I think I have accomplished Brian's challenge to "Go Out And Be Great".

Fair play to Hooper, he is good lad💪💪

Better than WSM and its not even close

How appropriate for the world's strongest Man to face off against Brian Shaw on his final event

I'm not crying, you are crying.

Nice competition design. I really like the way the competition is structured.

You shouldve kept the final speech in!!

Congrats !! 🎉

Great video!

Can You Guys Post The Whole Edition As a Recap Like Rogue, ASC or WSM Please? We All Love The Shaw Classic You Guys Are Doing an Amazing Work Thank You So Much 🙏🏻🤗❤️💪🏻

Nice to hear Bri’s bestie love on him just like we all do

I had No idea Evan Singleton was a WWE Wrestler until yesterday when I watched his podcast with Brian Shaw. I now can't unseen it! He absolutely KNOWS how to work a crowd, but another aspect where I can see it is the way he works with the other competitors during the events, but also back stage. He, probably more than most wrestlers, knows how important cooperation and teamwork are. If people don't know, (like I didn't) during one of his early matches in WWE his opponent didn't do a move correctly and it almost killed Evan and ended his dream of becoming big in the WWE. It's crazy that he is even able to do Strongman at all, let alone at the level he has gotten to! After that Episode I have a new appreciation for him and I've become a huge fan. I wasn't sure who was going to become my favorite active strongman after Brian retired, but I think I've found him!

Love the combined event. Wish they would just let the fingers fall though instead of having to lock it in to some faulty contraption. Or just make it a little steeper so it doesn't bounce back.

Me getting a new deep cycle battery in my boat.

This is a great event

Just wanted to see Brian Shaw 😊

Once they pollish up the fine details, this will be the greatest strongman show on earth. The format is amazing and the events are better than all the other competitions.

personal use luke 69, aiva 71 bilton 70, novi 71, faires 65, evans 67 max 66, evan 74 bobby 71, tom 76 trey 73, hooper 76 brian 75

Avairs is a BEAST!!

Great !

Looks good but I was more surprised to see such a legend referee! Never knew Ed Coan was also into strongman!

Хупер в потрясающей форма, но Шоу показал всем, кто в доме хозяин!

I wonder if some people are just physically the wrong size to do this and the height or the stairs or length of the handle is a big factor for them.

Props to red shirt having to grease Brian's weights before the start.

The weights seem about right, half of the athletes couldn't finish it

I think for future power series events they need to be shorter like the mid 2000s stairs

Fire your audio guy

Three weights for the power stairs next year?

poderiam ter colocado a camera num lugar melhor nos levantamento de peso

Seems like the power stairs are too hard for shorter competitors

brain needs to tone down the events some. the amount of injury for 2023/chance of it is too high

Nice that they set up event so old Shaw can win in some competition.

Wtf is Maxime wearing on his feet? Leather moccasins?

If Mitch did not abandon his power stairs, could he have won the show himself?

This show will be the highest paying show in the very near future if not this year even without being as big as the other big three shows

Parece tão simples, só quê não.

half of them are 8 months pregnants??? what in the alabama world

why did mitch stop ? he wanted to give the W to shaw i guess

Miles better than WSM and Giants Live combined....

Forget the Arnold Classic, he lost me and many others when he said "f*ck their freedoms." Thats when Brian took his poster down, and maybe even decided to take the Shaw Classic to where its headed now - The Number 1 Strongman Event💪

I’m not a fan of the camera views they have,they should have had hanging crane cameras and would have given the viewers way better content than this.

I did 400 on the fingers it gets way heavy at the end of the flip. You cant slow down! It’s humiliating lol! We had 385 on the stairs 18” risers… it was an old Datsun B2 10 Minus motor transmission. Welded on driver side at bottom door rail an Olympic bar. Flip the car on its top then run to power stairs 5 steps 385 middleweight division. Myrtle Beach 2006. I was 42 now I’m 58…. Seems like it was yesterday…😔whew I’m getting nostalgic tears rolling! Getting old sucks!
