Passing the Torch: Alan Nash Talks Toes With Kasey Brooks

Let’s address the elephant in the room (or the big toe on the Toedium):

If you’ve found this because you typed “toe wrestling… is that actually a thing?” into Google, welcome. Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s a World Championship. And yes, it’s a lot more serious than your mate down the pub wants to believe.

This sit-down chat is special because it’s basically toe wrestling’s timeline having a brew together. On one side, Alan “Nasty” Nash, toe wrestling royalty, 17-time World Champion, and the bloke who’s been setting the standard since before half of us knew what Wi-Fi was. On the other, Kasey “The Big Toe” Brooks, strongman powerhouse who came into the 2025 World Toe Wrestling Championship and walked out runner-up like he’d been toe-locking for a decade.

It’s funny. It’s honest. And somewhere between the banter, there’s a proper blueprint for where toe wrestling is heading next.

Kasey says one of the nicest things you can say about this sport - toe wrestling has an edge, but it’s also a community. He felt the tension before bouts, sure. But after? People were friendly, helpful, invested in each other. He’s genuinely surprised Alan gave him advice on finals day. In most sports, that doesn’t happen. In toe wrestling, that’s how you know you’ve joined the family.

Between the jokes, you can feel a shift happening; the legends are still here, the new wave is arriving strong, the attention is global, the sport is organising itself for what’s next, Alan is the roots, Kasey is the future arriving early... Put those together, with clear rules and more events, and toe wrestling stops being “that mad thing I saw online” and becomes “that sport I want to train for.” And honestly? We’re already on that road.

If this chat made you think “I could do that,” you probably can. Watch the highlights, learn the basics, and keep an eye out for qualifiers and local events. There’s never been a better time to step onto the Toedium. Just remember Alan’s rule... Don’t walk in thinking it’s only a laugh. It’s a laugh and a fight.
