I am kinda dorky and one of my gifts i get each year for xmas in a guinness book of records. Been getting them 12 years now.

Have a good 2 page spread on WSM...first time i ever seen it in a magazine.

But Kaz kills JP in strength. I kinda hate how the bigger stronger guys lose on running 75yards with 300lb stone by smaller guys who couldnt finish 30yards with a 400lbs stone when the big guy could

Well the WSM has never been about "just pure strength".
You have to have all the tools, fitness, speed, athleticism.

O.D should have stuck to powerlifting...

because the WSM competition is what it is.

Sure, the Arnold classic Strongman comp is a much better rest of "pure brute strength"

But the WSM has a great history, a great legacy

Mariusz is known internationally by average people

Savickas is known in strongman/powerlifting circles

Jon Pall is a legend is Iceland.  Unfortunately, no one talks about my favorite Magnus Ver Magnusson.  Although, I got the inside scoop while I was in Reykjavik last, apparently Maggi has taken to thumb breaking to make ends meet these days.
