Shaun Hainan Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It doesn't seem like they have any strongman competitions on tv any more. ESPN and Versus used to play them a good bit. I can't remember the last time I saw one on. Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico300zx Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Maybe contracts? Write to them on their website tell vs. You want it back. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdawg Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Versus carried IFSA contests. That federation went belly-up, so there's nothing left to show. I did catch one WSMSS contest on there a few months back, but I really haven't paid the channel much attention to know if it's been on any more. WSM will have its marathon on ESPN 2 around Christmas again I'm sure. Met-Rx is the main sponsor once again, so maybe it'll get a little more air play this time. I don't think ESPN was crazy about partypoker.net being the main sponsor last year. You won't get many chances to see it, though. It just doesn't have a broad appeal.

anson Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 VS used to carry strongman, but now they suck and I've canceled my cable because of those swine. ESPN 2 is a joke, they put on WSM three months after the fact. God forbid if they had to bump a few college ball games to show the strongest athletes in the world doing amazing stuff.

Jedd Johnson Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 IFSA went belly-up? That's a shame. When and why? I am so out of the strongman scene I had no idea. Anson & Jon - How are you guys doing these days, anyway? Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anson & Jon - How are you guys doing these days, anyway? Jedd I'm doing good, Jedd. I hope you are too, buddy. I honestly can't remember all the details, but they went bankrupt a couple of years ago. A lot of athletes went unpaid for some shows, and they had an unpaid shipping bill for their equipment. Last I heard all of their equipment was going to be auctioned. And I've got to agree with Rick on this one, Anson. I love strongman too, but I'd go ballistic if they cut some Bulldogs football to show a rerun.
