Ford can’t catch a break! He commits to just about every overseas freak show card that gets cancelled.

Maybe a rich Saudi prince’s son will ask for strong men to fight at his birthday party and they can setup a Street Beefs hay ring in the back yard.

The best is that the strong man community was surprised that an international $100 trillion dollar first ever event held internationally on international waters featuring Tyson vs Secretariat fell through…

Also, they need to bring this event back on the streets of San Francisco:

I’m still surprised people believed this was gonna be real

Nobody in this thread believed the claims in the original video about the attendance, PPV buys, the purses being offered, etc…

It was a hilariously bad video.

I just wanted to believe Shaw, Hall etc… were going to fight one another in a one and done promotion that was going to pay them well.

I’m not sure how it could possibly benefit this promotion by getting their name out there with Shaw and those guys only to have those guys say to their followers they won’t be on the show.

Thats not how you create actual attendance or get views. Not that I’ve ever heard of.

I wonder if another promotor will reach out to them about a potential fight, seeing as they did a bit of training

Getting Shaw, Hall etc… in a cage is not that crazy.

Seems like Shaw believed someone was gonna pay him to fight. I don’t think he would deceive his audience, waste his own time and hurt his own brand for like some quick cash to promote something fake. Someone said enough to convince him he would be paid a lot to fight.

Nobody believed their crazy claims about the size of the event though.

Dana needs to sign them to a special set of SHW fights. He owes it to the fans after the CM Punk and empty WFW division stuff.

Come on Dana, you know you fucked up with CM Punk, sign Shaw vs Hall for a special SHW fight on 300 and all is forgiven and we all pretend the CM Punk thing never happened. Deal?

I suggest three 45 second rounds. Force the action from the big men.

RIZIN needs to sign Shaw.

Shaw vs Baruto.

I did a deep dive one day and our old friend Bill K. looks to have been cancelled back in the day. He was just too rough and wild for the era at the time and wasn’t invited to several of them if I remember correctly due to accidents like the barrel race.

Meanwhile, the man with the most wins of all time (could’ve won two more):

Yeah, Kazmaier was before my time. They didn’t really air his comps on cable I noticed as a kid in the 80’s but I started watching in the 90’s and would see him on commentary. Was watching by the 90’s though as a teen. I honestly think its beyond impressive what Pudz was able to do in WSM and then to have as much success as he has in MMA. He really did become a dangerous fighter that won some big fights despite his age. I mean he got right in there with Sylvia when he was 2-0 and Sylvia was 25-6.

Agreed! KSW is kind of crazy. There’s some Pride FC vibes in there. When he destroyed Butterbean, I was proud of him. He could’ve easily gotten Butterbean’d, then become a meme or gif like Bart Gunn.
