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.
