Official results – top three places
- Notes
- In 1987 the WSM was not held for the only time since its inception. In that year the first and only non-team Pure Strength competition was held. Although but it was not part of the WSM franchise, some commentators regard it as a replacement for WSM in that year with Bill Kazmaier, Geoff Capes and Jon Pall Sigmarsson being the entrants who between them won the WSM a total of nine times. Capes was injured during the event, but Jon Pall Sigmarsson was dominant, winning overall. However, this win does not count in his tally.
