Since my suggestion was overlooked, I'll just simply answer the question with 2 words: NOBODY. MANY.

Nobody and Many, because all the winners from all of the Strongman Competitions weren't at the same event for a head to head battle, so all we're going to accomplish here is theory, conjecture and fairy tails...oops, fairy tales. :D

Take all the weiners...winners...give them the same tweak tools, the same bases and the same board and then we'll see who's who and what's what.

Now I've got a question. WHO CARES?

Everyone that wants THEE STRONGEST BASES IN THE WORLD and doesn't put in the time and do it for themselves is chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Coach X tweaks stronger bases than Coach Y who bought bases from Coach Z, but neither none have ever beaten Coach A, ever! Not even a scrimmage. How much of a factor is strength now?

For those who never saw the first 10 renditions of the Miggle Message Board, there was a recurring thread that we had to keep reiterating: You have to coach your team to victory! Buying the strongest bases will not result ininstant success.

Here's a real world correlation. When Barry Switzer took over the COWBOYS after Jimmy and Jerry broke up, who got the credit for that Championship? Barry or Jimmy? I'm not a fan of Dallas but I know that Jimmy should have gotten a ring for putting that team together.

That's not going to happen in MF. Speaking from experience, I've played an unstoppable team built and coached by someone else in a previous season, but under the new coach I beat him 28-0. Was it the team or the Coach ?

I've built teams for others that have beaten people I couldn't beat head to head, only to get beaten by me. Was it the team or the Coach?

You have to build your own rooty poot team and play and rebuild and play and improve and adjust and play and fail and lose and play and win and get better and take steps forward and slide backwards and get up and learn new techniques, etc, etc.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR LUMPS!
YOU CANT BUY A TEAM FROM X AND EXPECT TO BEAT Y AND Z, WHEN X CAN'T.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME.
YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE.
YOU HAVE TO COACH.
IF IT AIN'T WORKING, YOU HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

NOBODY AND MANY ARE STRONG. WHO CARES?

As far as determining The Best, do you really think Miggle is the truest test? It might be a cog in the equation of Miggle+BuzzFest+Seawall BRAWL+MFCA Con+TSO/CBSMF = Championship Season.

(Here comes another FRIGGIN' DISCLAIMER: NO disrespect intended toward any other Tourney I didn't mention.)

Hmmmm...??? Gotchya thinking yet?

We need ONE single solitary event that EVERYONE attends to determine THEE BEST COACH of any particular year or style. And the best way I've seen is the way we sid it at MFCA Con I.

So, since that is the one time it was done right, by my standard at least, Adrian is #1 and I'll share #2 with Joe Greco since he had to leave early and beat me in our game. But, who am I?

If we can ever get EVERYONE under one roof playing one way, or trim the Tournies down to 3 or 4 "Majors" ala PGA or PBA, then we'd see who's bad!?!
