Bill Kazmaier talkin some smack back in the day !

[Sean Katterle]

Dunno if this is real or staged. The YouTube poster said it was a clip from a documentary about Tom Magee. But the guy he's arguing with is not Tom Magee and Tom Magee did compete in the WSM television show.

[Black_Spit]

I hope it was staged, because it sure makes him look like a pompous ass...

I was watching a Ronnie Coleman interview earlier and he was asked what he thought about a certain bodybuilder being "the next Ronnie Coleman." Ronnie said, "just the fact that they would call anyone 'the next me' is an honor."

Well, I've seen Bill Kazmaier act like this in public before. But he's also got experience as a pro wrestler. So I dunno if that scene was scripted or candid.

Well, that sucks. I have a lower opinion of him now. Not that I really cared before.

Thats gotta be fake. gotta be

Narcissism and greatness often go hand in hand.

See: Jordan, Michael. Ali, Muhammad. Mantle, Mickey. Ruth, Babe. Bryant, Kobe. Sanders, Deion. Schwarzenegger, Arnold. And on and on and on.

[BigJon55]

That had to be fake, I've never seen anyone who acted like that much of an ass in public, much less on camera.

[brentwillisbgw]

Thats gotta be fake. gotta be

I hope so. If not then that's pathetic.

[John Prophet]

hard to say. There is enough other stuff on film of him crossing way over the line, lol.

Hopefully it was fake though....kinda ruff when the wsm has to argue with a woman

[BumShrapnel]

Without the context it doesn't mean much, it's halfway through an argument just as tempers are getting a bit frayed. It does look real though judging by the genuinely pissed off looking bodybuilder and trainer and the onlookers pretending to ignore the situation while looking nervous lol. It was a time when strongman had and encouraged egos and characters though.

It's not too dissimilar from the stick people get for not squatting etc. and a lot of people like to give that out.

[John Prophet]

saw this:

"To be fair to Kaz, that guy (Dave Gauder) and his wife used to perform (and still do) Paul Anderson style feats of strength and claim to be the strongest man in the world. He would do "1000 pound squats" and **** and charge admission fees. He never did a real competition. "

That does look like the guy Kazmaier was arguing with. If so, I don't blame Kaz for not liking the dude's obviously over inflated claims of strength. I would have liked to hear the beginning of the conversation though. Kazmaier would be justified in challenging the guy to sign-up to compete against him in an official competition. And Kazmaier would have crushed him numbers wise!

[BIG_FAT_SLAPPER]

I found it hilarious and like this hilarious side of Kaz. Have you lot seen the vid where he nearly kills OD Wilson, it's pretty funny as well.

But yeah the greats usually are cocky and brash.

[BIG_FAT_SLAPPER]

Here is the hilarious vid...sort of glad strongman has moved on since then because then event is just silly and too light. But strongman did seem more fun to watch back in the day.

I don't see why people are getting so pissed about this.... just another clown-esque *strength feat* idiot claiming to be the worlds strongest man, without actually putting his strength into any real perspective, or entering any real competition.

Kazmier is a legend, he will be remembered 50 years from now. Everything he said is true, people know who he is, they always will. No one knows who this clown is. I even used to be into that strength feat ****, nail bending, etc... never heard of him.... ever.

This.

Kazmaiers gonna Kaz.

[PaulSavage]

hahaha comedy

[ClemsonStrong]

I guess I could kind of see Kazz being a jerk, but it was probably justified.

[arian11]

Well its just a shame you didn't grow. Trollololol

[bmontgomery87]

If that was the same guy clamining to be the strongest man and what not, I don't blame Kaz at all.

[samsbolton]

I actually do remember this Dave Gauder, he was english did this sort of stuff in the eighties. I recall being impressed with him but I was about ten. And that was obviously staged.

[ziyedb]

As what I've heard, Kazmaier is a really nice and kind guy in real life.

[beardofstars]

bill kazmaier did pro wrestling for a while...i think you would have to be pretty naive to think this wasn't staged or he wasn't hamming it up for the camera at least a little bit.

funny video nonetheless

[dlt76028]

Probably staged considering people couldn't just whip out a camera phone and start recording a confrontation like they can now.

[TylerShelgren]

Kaz MC'd at NAS nationals this year, and one of my training partners showed him the video, and Kaz says he did not remember that entire ordeal ever happend.

[UHCougar05]

As what I've heard, Kazmaier is a really nice and kind guy in real life.

I met Kaz at this year's NAS Masters Nationals/Texas Strongest Man. He was very cordial and even took a picture with my son and I. He's still huge. He did a bit of MC'ing there and told us he was there not to work, but "to have a good time".

He also knows his way around a BBQ pit.

I doubt many of us who said something about it had any idea who that guy was or why Kaz was saying those things. I feel pretty sure you didn't either though.

When I first saw it, I couldn't imagine any situation where him being all arrogant like that to that woman would be justified. But, I was kinda wrong. But, it clearly just looked like he was just puffing his chest out to show his superiority to a wannabe-bodybuilder and his wife.

Either way, he still came off douchey imo, but people do things in front of a camera differently than they would otherwise, so whatever.
