How Does Bill Kazmaier Stack Up Against Today's Strongmen?

[BIG AL MCKECHNIE]

Capes turned down a large offer to fight Lenny Mclean in an all in

That makes sense. The bully who is not so tough when he's up against someone not afraid of him or when he's not in his police uniform.

I would loved to have seen Lenny slap the shit out of him.

goes for most bullies

I don't think Bill is gay. It's possible he is not interested in sex at all. He certainly didn't make a move on the ladies at the barbeques held in Scotland during the late 80's after the Highland games but on the other hand he didn't pursue any men either.

As for Geoff Capes,  he is the biggest bullying kunt of all time. Back in the Britain's Strongest Man contest around 1980 he complained about every event and tried to bully the judges into changing decisions for the first few events.  Pat Roach (6 ft 5, 270lb, judo black belt, pro wrestler and later movie hard man) was also competing and eventually lost the rag with Geoff and politely offered him extreme violence if he didn't shut the fuck up.  Big hard bullying policeman Geoff did not utter another complaint for the duration.

no way was bill gay

It's true. He turned up at Rick "Grizzly" Brown's hotel room one night steaming drunk, wearing only knee high socks and a horse tail butt plug.

The World's Strongest Man authorities covered this up, obviously.

This is not true. Bill did not compete during the time Grizzly was representing USA and indeed Bill hated Grizzly as a strongman. He called Grizzly a "fat clown" who made a mockery of the US strongman scene as he was such a crap strongman.

I think Grizzly was last in almost every event in the WSM in mid 1980's while Bill sat at home uninvited.


Back in the early 2000's the great Jimmy Thomson was a member of a strongman website and Grizzly was a member too. All the other members posted nice things about Grizzly and licked his arse but Jimmy told it straight and on new years day 2002 he reminded Grizzly that he was a joke who was the worst strongman ever to compete in WSM. The other members were shocked and came to Grizzly's defence.  Grizzly didn't need defending for long because he died of a heart attack within 24 hours of Jimmy's post.

Probably the last thing the poor guy read before his blood pressure skyrocketed.

What happened to the great Jimmy? His stories about robby robinson getting bummed by a cheetah and Franco having to dress like a schoolboy were awesome.

Fights Connery in Never Say Never Again.

Even more famously fought Harrison Ford in both Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom.
They slapped on some brown make up to make him look Sikh in the latter.

We got a shabozzle! Arcidi was wide and thick as fuck!

And most famous of all, he fought Arnold in Conan the Destroyer (I think) while dressed as a lizard man.

savickacs is the best for now but outweight kaz by 60 pounds . kaz was great . ask marius pudz to seat press 450 pounds 3 reps and bench 661 . . .

[T-REX007]

Kaz would still be a force, he would adjust training, drugs, get heavier etc...
He was so dominant  - he won it all one year- 1980?- by over 20 points I think
Athletes do get bigger, stronger, faster every generation, everybody knows that but still cool to wonder " what if '
