The show is great, the participants are friendly, down to earth guys...but...the show producers made the same mistake all US producers do. They claim that the strongest man ever was Paul Anderson...an American. American TV producers claim the best in any category is always an American. Fact checking would tell them that an American was NOT the strongest man ever. Facts ( REAL facts) show that Louis Cyr from Saint-Cyprien-de-Napierville, Quebec, Canada. was the strongest in History. If you are going to make claims, back them up.
Eddie Hall is an icon in his won right and deserves all the accolades he is given. He is also a great TV personality.
This being a "reality show", it is obvious that there is basically NOTHING real...except the feats of strength the guys do. Claims made are usually trumped up by the producers. Let the guys do what they do best, and let them back up their strength feats as only they can do.
