This Fucking wrestling tomorrow could mess things up for anyone and everyone. From what I saw in the heats there was no pattern to it and it certainly as nothing to do with strength.

The wresting was a bad idea, different rules for different people, and scoring for that matter! Plus, some of the finalists have already had a bash at it, some haven't ..... nice.

Sounds like the final is a blinder, wish i could have stayed for it, i thoroughly enjoyed the heats, despite being in butlins!

Reward me for my text updates to Bod by keeping those final updates coming! I'll be pinned to my phone and computer all day tomorrow.....

The issue is not whether or not he's an old warrior worthy of respect, he is. It's getting on stage without qualifying. And the injury thing is true. He would get as far as the finals and then get injured. Now it's not unknown for a top level athlete, like Eddie, to get injured (who hasn't fucked themselves in this way striving to do their best) but others have become 'injured' when it was obvious to them they were not gonna win.

Those who organized it are more to blame than any athlete.

As for internet warriors... nearly everyone on SDF DOES compete. Some compete, coach, train and promote. Some build equipment and more. Few, if any, are from the sit at home and watch and talk shite (well a tad ha ha) mob.

I think Eddie is about my age as well. :P

Here's a thought,instead of a bunch of tv producers who love nothing better than high drama,torn biceps and twisted ankles dictating to Britain's elite strongmen,wouldn't it be great if all 8 guys told them to fuck off and pick a better event? what they gonna do...cancel the comp?
Some solidarity from the competitors could sort these assholes out.
If the guys don't like the wrestling they should bin it.

Ahh if only. Back in the day, after a few lads got injured in WSM, didn't something like this happen with the stupid fridge carry? Mind you I think some of the boys then were proper volatile (Kaz springs to mind).

Hang on Jamie theres no question Eddie has done real well to make the final with the quality of lads in this years heats, No one can question that.

But from what I can recall every time Eddie as competed at BSM he as had to pull out with a Bicep (or similar) injury ( I could be wrong on that and if I am I apologise). And there is this natural feeling that all the lads (with the exception of the reigning champ)should have had to put it on the line and qualify to be there. When this does not happen it always creates issues.
And I'm not saying thats Eddies fault, after all who would not take up a chance to compete if TWI offer it to you.

That bloody wrestling....

What I don't understand, and maybe somebody can clear it up for me, is how the scoring works? I mean, I assume that each athlete only wrestles once? So... how do you score the guys from 1st to last? Or is is just something daft like 2 points for a win and 0 points for a loss?

Just can't get my head round the idea of having an event like that in a strongman contest of this level...

In the heats every man wrestles everyone else.

You scored 1 point for pushing your opponent out of the ring and 0.5 points if your opponent touches down inside the ring.
In the first heat any body part touching down counted then in the second heat they changed it to any body part but your hands.

As a result of this stupid scoring if you thought you were going out it's best to touch down inside the ring thus you only lose 0.5 points.

It also means the number of actual wins is not a reflection of the score. One man could win 2 matches by pushing his opponent out and receive the exact same points as a man who wins 4 matches by putting his opponent on his back.

With some of the MONSTER deadlifters in the comp, how cool would it be if they managed to change the wrestling to a deadlift for reps comp?

350kg for reps !!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's incredibly retarded. To think that BSM might be decided by wrestling... it's just insulting.

Thanks for the explanation, that was exactly what I was looking for.
