Er no its not, when you have the likes of Sven Karlsen, Zydrunas Savakis, Glenn Ross and Mark Phillipi all saying the Arnold Strongman is THE premier show...the MOST IMPORTANT show to them then that is the end of the matter, no debate needed
NOBODY in the world of strongman (competitors and fans) believes the WSM show to be the better show, everybody was waiting with baited breath for the Arnold yet NO-ONE gave two shits for the WSM last year (which BTW Pudz lost)

ARE YOU HAVING A LAUGH??
HE JUST CAME THIRD IN THE ARNOLD STRONG MAN AT HIS FIRST ATTEMPT WHICH EASILY MAKES HIM BRITAINS STRONGEST
Do you know what the Arnold is?, it is THE BIGGEST STRONGMAN SHOW ON EARTH
Oh and incase you didnt know, Pudz has never done anything in the Arnold of note, why? because it is a heavy 'proper' strongman show which see's Pudz getting his ass kicked by the same guys whom he could only beat in lighter shows
To be honest with you, you actually have the answer but dont realise it, your statement about 'Glen getting knocked out in the WSM' is in the right area BUT you have missed the point
The reason Glenn does well in the BIGGEST STRONGMAN SHOW ON EARTH is because there is no crap 'bias' towards lighter events as there was with the Worlds Strongest Man comp put on by TWI, a competiton that is thought of as a joke and has been for about 8 years, that is all there is to it, the Arnold is heaviest (hey its a STRONGEST MAN comp, go figure) the WSM wasnt
If you want to hold a 'strength endurance' show then fine BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING
See? words mean things: 'strongest' means one thing 'strength endurance' means another, simple
Glen Ross is easily Britains strongest man, if you disagree Id LOVE to hear whom you think is?, go on I dare you to say Oly Thompson of whom is the number one ranked strongman in the UK according to the fools whom used to be responsible for the Britains/Worlds strongest man shows (IFSA)
With Glenn Ross and Andy Bolton we have in the UK two of the strongest (read top 5) guys on the planet which is (whatever you preference) a fact which has to be good eh?
