Chuck would make all these liberal soy boy s piss their pants with a stare.

'He held four airplanes while they tried to take off'.

Of course he did. And he also 'let' a truck drive over him. Pure genius. While we all mourn Chuck the Fat Fuck's death, let's find comfort in the fact that strength athletes around the world may now stand on the shoulders of this giant.

You make it all sound silly.

I apologize, IroNat. In retrospect, I suppose I did. I didn't mean to undermine this gentleman's accomplishments.

Those tricks with airplanes and trucks or whatever are silly and clownish since there is no way to measure the strength and effort required and put it into perspective. With the Big 3 any lifter can make some sense of it. Strongman events use these tricks for the general public - big sized weights = big strength.
In strongman there is no way to measure relative effort and strength from year to year and decade to decade since there is no fixed standards in the events.

If anything, these strongmen type who perform the tricks/stunts, are more crazy than anything else.
There was a guy who lived locally (John Wooten), back in the 80's who would put on local events (trucks pulling on top of him, etc).
Guys was a nice guy, just a little crazy. If course Onion-Head Kaz, the guy with a very tiny brain, tried suing Wooten for calling himself 'Worlds Strongest Man".

Such a strange/odd guy, Bill Kaz. Tries to discredit everyone, from this guy Wooten, To Platz, to Arcidi, etc.
Majorly insecure...

On May 23, 1984, Kazmaier moved for a temporary restraining order enjoining the continued use of the advertisement in question. After oral argument, the district court denied the motion. At the court's suggestion, defendants moved for summary judgment, which the district court then granted, dismissing all of Kazmaier's claims.
At the heart of the court's rejection of the claims was its conclusion that Kazmaier was not entitled to exclusive use of the phrase "the World's Strongest Man." It ruled that because Kazmaier had never registered "the World's Strongest Man" as a trade name, the question of its protectability was governed by Massachusetts common law. The court went on to hold that, even assuming Kazmaier had established secondary meaning in the descriptive title, his rights in the name did not prevent Wooten's also using it, since Wooten sufficiently distinguished himself from Kazmaier in the commercial and so avoided any likelihood of confusion.

To be fair to him, Chuck was always doing charity work - hospital visits, school things, etc... Nobody normal wants to watch a squat. Truck pulls, hold backs, etc.... is where it's at for those things. As mentioned, very few people understand a bench press, but they do understand picking up a refrigerator.

Sounds like a cool guy.
RIP.
