Thor “only” weighs 325ish now; he was 440ish, up to 450 for the Arnold.
It’s because he has the “Hercules gene” with the myostatin deficiency, nothing at all to do with drugs.

Eddie can’t be using protein since protein lowers your testosterone.
I don’t do any betting, but googling shows the sports betting websites have Thor winning at 58% odds.
LOL. Just saw that they cut some of Eddie’s crazy shit out of that video of the face off. (starts at 1:52) Big Loz is the best for an even handed appraisal of all things strongman related.
I really really hope they are actually best mates and using this to line each other pockets. That would entertain me much more than their actual anger which bores me a little.
I’ve hated people at work and I’d love to fight some of them but I’m not 5 any more.

Agree. I feel like this is all fake and they really are tight with each other, but maybe I’m wrong.
Imagine beefing with someone because they lifted more weight than you…

Ya’ll remember when they caught Hulk Hogan riding in the same car as The Iron Sheik?
But I thought they HATED each other…

Yeah, but wrestling is well known to be fake in every aspect.
The most holistic part of wrestling is the steroid:mullet ratio present at the events.
Though if you are correct in entirety, we have gone full circle from fake WWE beefs to fake boxing beefs, which I find pretty ironic.
I demand a tag-team rematch with Shaw and Thor against Kaz and Eddie!
Kaz has the wrestling experience: it’d be unfair. Although Thor is an actor…
MMA has been pulling this exact same stunt for a decade now too. Sadly, the idea of two well trained individuals testing their skills against each other and being APPRECIATIVE of a good opponent is a total snoozefest to the average consumer. If two dudes are going to scrap, people want there to be a reason behind it OUTSIDE of simply it being a sport. There needs to be drama. There needs to be “skin in the game”.
There have been some AWESOME competitors that never got a fair shot because they didn’t make for good TV. Alternatively, you had dudes like Kimbo Slice getting MORE than enough attempts to make it big because they made for good TV.
And yet again I say: don’t hate the player, hate the game.

But this is the issue with sports. When it comes to making money it is not about who is best. It is about who is most entertaining. Sure that CAN mean the same thing. But it can also mean - not inviting a dominant competitor back. So you get some variation in the winner.
FYI - a Facebook group I follow (world strongest fan I think) posted then deleted something yesterday. It said back at the start of this the facebook group called this out as fake. And one of the camps got in touch with him and wanted to know who had told him.
Who knows.

Predictions if this is a fixed fight - Eddie goes in swinging in the early rounds, gets some seemingly hard shots on Thor for the highlight reels. Thor stays cool, Eddie tires himself out, and Thor outpoints him. Eddie demands a rematch and that Thor fight like a man next time.
Prediction if this is a real fight - Eddie goes in swinging in the early rounds. Thor easily avoids all of it. Eddie tires himself out, Thor KO’s or TKO’s him. Eddie demands a rematch cuz Thor got lucky.

My prediction: they will both have gummy bears available during the breaks between rounds. Channelling the powerlifter vibe here
Oh God - the latest gets worse.
CBD gummies I’m sure.

He has a YT channel; weak content imo.
Hype aside, there’s real money being placed on this fight. The outcome better not be fake.
Lowlights…errr…highlights of the press conference: Eddie’s kid seated in the middle, and therefore being in the middle of the ruckus; Thor’s Mom taking it seriously and sounding a little hysterical causing Thor to (really) be pissed imo; Eddie claiming to know more boxers than Thor’s trainer who’s been in the game for one maybe two decades and in the corner of actual champion caliber fighters.
…if the WWE was this good, maybe I should’ve watched…

It’s hard to overstate how crazy and cool wrestling seemed to 10 year-olds in 1990.
