Eddie Hall fires back at Larry Wheels and Thor Bjornsson.
It appears that Eddie Hall has clapped back at Hafthor “Thor” Bjornsson and Larry Wheels. His vitriol was in response to a recent demeaning piece of artwork of the 2017 World’s Strongest Man has made the rounds.
The artwork definitely caught the attention of Eddie Hall. It has become obvious over the last several weeks who Larry Wheels is supporting in the battle between Eddie Hall and Thor Bjornsson. Larry Wheels made it a point to throw his support behind Bjornsson.
Brutal Artwork
But he didn’t do it in a particularly neutral manner. On the contrary. Larry Wheels let his support for Thor be screamed from the rooftops. A recent post on the powerlifter’s Instagram showcases a work of art that depicts Thor Bjornsson holding the severed head of Eddie Hall. You can see in the image below that the artwork leaves no room for interpretation.

My prediction for the match
Suffice it to say, Eddie Hall wasn’t impressed by the post at all. The 2017 World’s Strongest Man had some choice words for the powerlifter who showed his support of Thor.
Eddie Hall followed up with another response, this time taking aim at Thor himself.
Great artwork from Thor and also great to see his professionalism and sportsmanlike behaviour has transferred over from strongman into boxing ?
Iv never felt so confident over an upcoming fight in my life so stuff like this just makes me laugh. Il be sleeping like a baby after what I just saw at the weekend and that deluded numb nuts hasn’t a clue what’s coming ?
Clearly there is no love lost between the two World Strongest Man champions. Both men are itching to throw down at this point and with so much preparation, as well their natural dislike of each other, things are beginning to boil over.
Pay-Per-View Details Revealed
Besides these three trading barbs, insults, and artwork depictions of each other, it appears that more news about the fight has come out. A new poster was recently released revealing the other fights that will be on the Thor vs Hall card. It also gives details on how much the pay-per-view will cost.
Early bird PPV tickets are now on sale for $9.99. If you like extreme plastic surgery, you’ll love watching me give Eddie a much-needed facelift–maybe a nose job as well if he can stay standing long enough. In-house seats go on sale July 5th.
