With Mitchell Hooper gone who can rise to the top❓

Sometimes the decisions you make in your personal life have  a very profound effect on your professional life.

First thing he has pulled out of in a long time.

the fatigue is not the primary reason dawg, he had relationship with his wife’s friend, now his family is torn

More dangerous long term for sure. Smart

When you mentioned Hooper said no one had ever seen him fully rested I IMMEDIATELY thought of Eddie Hall's hydration. lol Was going to comment it before I saw the clip you inserted.

He's  coming back, this is one season.

He will come back stronger and crush it!

knew it was matter of time hoopers body was going to wear  out how hard he was pushing tom Stoltman is a threat he been on the podium most of the last years events

Remember when he was talking to Eddie about cold plunges etc and that he didn't do that stuff for recovery/injuries?

Sounds like he’s gonna be at the Rogue invitational this year according to his livestreams if some things work out for him

Evan looks really strong, as long as he stays away from cracking his head open. 😅

i lost alot of respect for hooper with what happened with his wife, but i still wish him the best recovery

It's smart to be selective instead of killing himself and missing out on bigger payday.

It’s a multitude of different things. Him getting injured consistently at all these events, the new generation of strongmen coming up quickly behind him, also the situation regarding what he did with his ex-wife. Multiple different things compounding together.

Honestly, it’s good he steps back. Even the most seasoned strongman can’t stay on top forever. At some point, you have to acknowledge that your time in the game is coming to an end and bow out gracefully. That doesn’t mean you haven’t left a mark on the game.

He needs a break mentally and physically.

The dude is tired he needs a break if its permanent, fine but if not either way rest easy big man

He isn't done! Just being smarter about it!

wise decision by Hooper 👍👍

That dose is takin its toll too
