2023 World’s Strongest Man has ended with the new reigning champ Mitchell Hopper. And with that comes the end of an era, as Brian Shaw will no longer be competing at the WSM. Having dedicated himself to the sport for nearly two decades, Shaw has won 4 titles, received worldwide recognition, and gained friends like Eddie Hall. Since this was the strongman’s last WSM appearance, to make his day special, Hall shared humorous yet nostalgic words for his ‘brother.’

As per Hall’s latest social media post, the 2017 Strongman giant wanted to capture his farewell speech for Shaw. While wishing him the best in his life, Hall pulled off some hilarious antics to showcase their friendship. Here’s what The Beast had to say.

Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall’s camaraderie

Shaw as he announced his retirement from the competitive stage back in February, citing the 2023 WSM as his final Strongman event. Even after suffering from a horrific leg infection that landed him in the hospital, the American powerlifter didn’t give up. After eight long days in recovery, Shaw returned to the gym to prepare for his final act. But unfortunately, the event didn’t go the four-time champ’s way. Although, his performance was really good at the qualifiers, in the finals, he ended up in the 7th place.

However, to thank him for his contribution to the sport, Eddie Hall recently took to his Instagram where he shared a video with the icon. “And farewell @shawstrength we all gonna miss you,” wrote The Beast. In the snippet, the strongman beast stated, “Been an absolute pleasure watching you compete, watching you do business… And to see you literally flat off into the sea.”

It’s the most important thing in life…It’s been an absolute pleasure to compete with him,…to do business with him.” Hall concluded his speech with one of his mischievous antics.

Hall and Shaw have always been great friends, sharing their chemistry with their fans. In fact, being on the same wavelength, made fans hilariously think that they both make a great duo together. Shaw, too, once wrote, “Our bromance is unmatched Eddie Hall – The Beast.”
