The crowd/events seem much more exciting than the way the WSM comps are shown on ESPN. Where is this being held? Anyone know if it'll be broadcast on a major network?
I remember Savickas being in WSM a few years ago, but haven't seen him in the last couple of years, have I just been missing his prelims? I saw him in an IFSA strongman repeat a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea when the original air date was for the show.

World's is a lot more spread out, with a lot of time going into production, and the events are done over a larger period of time.
This will be held in Montmagny Canada. Last year it was at Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire.
Savickas was in worlds a few years ago. i believe 2003-4. Then there was an IFSA split, where IFSA did not allow their athletes to compete in WSM competitions, and the other way around.
There's a lot of politics in strongman, so that may be why he doesn't get an invite. He does get one to the arnold, and this though. I wouldn't be surprised if he does get a WSM invite this year.
