Anyone know if the old tapes, dating back to 1977 (with Lou and Franco) are up for sale or download anywhere?? I would love to get a hold of some of those older ones with Kazmaier, Capes, Jon Pall Sigmarsson and so forth.. Would bring back some great memories. They used to play them on ESPN back in the mid 90's... Anyone know of a site where they can be purchased of downloaded?
Thanks!
-
Those were the best. I love the old school challenge where they would squat the wagon with playboy bunnies in it or bend the 1 inch bar using a towel on their heads.
-
franco would put the towel in his mouth and bend that shit clenching the bar between his teeth.
what a freak
-
They were really strong mofo's. Especially Dave Waddington, Bill Zamaier and Geoff Capes. He was PURE strength, with the log lifts and the 1090 pound deadlift with the silver coins.. I also loved the late 70's tire toss!! haha..
Anyone know where I can find these CLASSIC competitions??

about ten years ago they used to replay the 76-81 WSM's all the time on ESPN, not so much anymore, check Ironmind.com they might have some copies or they'll know who does.

I have seen them for sale on Manfred Hoebels site but they were super expensive like $39.99 each, that was a few years ago
-
Youtube it

Yeah, I remember them airing a new WSM competition every night, or was it every week on ESPN in 1995. I had taped ALL the competitions from 1977-1995 on VHS tape, but misplaced the box of tapes over the years (I've moved a few times since then).
Well, I'll check out ironmind.com
Thanks!

Looking for FULL competitions. youtube has 2 or 3, that are chopped to pieces. Thanks though!

Big Bill Kazmaier was the real deal like most of those guys Dude was just POWER.

Arguably he was one of the strongets men to ever grace the earth. Pure, brute strength. First man to put up 660 pound bench RAW in the late 70's. If he hadn't torn his pec or shoulder, he would have surely smashed his previous record. Watching him do his lifts was incredible. He would get into this zone and he looked like a 340 pound wild bull, crushing ALL his competitors in the strength feats.

late 60's? Bill did that 661 bench in the early 1980's.

Dave right?? Do you spend 24 hours on here scoping out people's typos and jumping on it. I LITERALLY corrected my own typo 5 seconds after posting it, YET, you remarked on my PRE-EDIT before that. Now that is very disturbing.
Don't fucking correct me again, alright? I know my shit and people do make typos. Thanks for being an ass.
-
Try and find the footage of a strongman contest where Kaz is throwing beer kegs onto a flattop truck the kegs weighed 178lb he threw them like coke cans.Fukka was STRONG.

You are referring to the 1981 competition, where he was probably in his best shape (PRE-injury) of his life. He came into that competition at 330 pounds that year and had more #1 placings than anyone before, or after.

I rmemeber watching on TV when he was doing that. That is to this day the most impressive show of strength I have ever seen. It was unreal. While everyone else was picking them up and carrying them over Kaz stood there and threw them in. Unreal
-
Look at the size of Kaz here. Especially the first few seconds. Unreal. this is WAY more impressive than any bodybuilder
-
I still would say Mariusz is the best ever...with Kaz being next....& Jon Pall
-
kaz was a friggin beast. Was that chalk or cocaine? i mean really who was coming close to squatting nearly 1000 pounds that long ago?
friggin intensity at about 3:30 when he's squatting...just crazy.
-

I think Mariusz is to but given the time and what was available to Kaz back in the 70's compared to what is available to Mariusz nowadays I like Kaz better. And for weighing 330 pounds Kaz is awesome. Mariusz physically standing next to him is not even close in physical intimidation. I have been right next to both of them and Kaz is just simply huge when he was training. Mariusz is actually way smaller in person than I thought he would be.
-
You could see before the Keg throwing he was just working out how many he would throw.One of the Best if not the best Strong men ever.

I agree.
Personally...I think Mariusz is the better 'athlete' of the two which would result in more wins by WSM definition. But, Kaz had more RAW power.

Hey I know how some of you save pics of me on your computer. Do any of you have the one with me and kaz and one other guy and we are on the beach at a tug a war contest. I lose all my shit and I don't have that pic anymore. I posted it on here before. Thanks man

You are referring to the 1980 competition. It was Kaz against the Swede: Lars Hedlund.
In any case, this is what I got back as a response, after taking Squadfather's advice:
"Dear Sir:
Thank you for your inquiry. World's Strongest Man is actually a TV production owned by TWI and they have never, to our knowledge, produced a video of the production--they do air them on ESPN2 during the year and you can probably get a schedule of the shows from them. We hope this information is helpful—sorry we don’t have better news!
Thank you again.
Sincerely,

Yes TWI is Trans World International. My friend competed in 1979 I think. To this day he is still the youngest competitor ever in the WSM at 19.

KAz was just insane strength, mariuez is probably the better athlete but KAZ is the better strng man. HAs anyone seen the new FLEX magazine, they have a list of the 10 greatest strong men of all time and KAZ is only third and they have mark henry in second, and maruisz didnt even make the top ten
-
Kaz was the Arnold of Strong Men.
My top 3 are:
1. Bill Kazmaier
2. Jon Pall Sigmarasson
3. Geoff Capes
-
I have most of them taped and have tried recording them on my computer but
due to the age of the tapes and damage from playback over the years the audio video sync is terrible.

I got the years that Kaz won off a guy on ebay,he had every year as well as the Show of Strength.If i can find the seller on my ebay page i`ll post it.
-
I`ve just checked my ebay page and the sellers name was unclerockuca,but it now says he`s no longer a registered user.Might be worth contacting the guy who put the Kaz clips together on youtube,his names Elliot Storey.

2:07 of the first video is the keg loading. Just awesome
-
even the mighty Kaz say's Mariusz could be the strongest man ever

I found it on the History Board. It is of a Tug O War event we put on in Honolulu. It was awesome. Everybody wanted me to start a Tug O War league it was so fun. We had hundreds of people watching this.
-
My favourites are the look in his eyes in the 1980 one just as he`s about to squat,when he does the 2 reps in the deadlift in the 1981 contest and the shot of his traps in the sumo wrestling.Still the greatest strongman of all time.

Agreed.

While I enjoyed watching KAZ completely anihilate ALL the competition, you know that Capes was just coming up the ranks during that time (1979-1982). When Kaz was forced to no longer compete in 1983, Capes was REALLY finding himself, but there was a 24 year old man by the name of Jon Pall Sigmarsson who was making a HUGE name for himself. I LOVE the 1984 and 1985 events, where it was literally 6'6" 375 pounds Capes (who was getting HUGE) against 6'3" 295 Jon Pall. This was more exciting to watch then KAZ just dominating everyone. I loved the head on head competition between these guys from 1983-1986. They took turns winning the titles. I also love the 1990 competition: Jon Pall's last one (shortly before he died in 1993), where he went head on head with the 406 black american powerlifter. They pushed each other to do better. It was so fun to watch the VIKING in action!!!! What memories.

Didnt he also say that Mark Henry would be the strongest ever if he took his training seriously?
Danimal: Check torrent sites. You may get lucky and find a couple of episodes.

And Gary Taylor and Magnus Ver Magnusson both CRUSHED O.D. Wilson at the 1991 competition in the deadlift, which was O.D.'s supposed bread and butter. Saddly, he died in 1992.
-
late 60's? Bill did that 661 bench in the early 1980's.
1979
