He also wrote a short story in which 1 armed Jaimie bested Rand al Thor. You can't take him seriously
...
Rand would no diff him even if he was still locked in the depression box
"You're talking mad shit for someone standing in baelfire range"
Haha! What a dummy. Rand Al'thor, the champion of the Battle of Dumai's Wells, The Dragon Reborn, the man who broke the world, was bested by a sister fucker with one hand? Okay then!
Hadn't read this before, link for anyone else interested: https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2010/04/10/trial-of-seven/
Jaimie besting Rand doesn't really make sense there tbh, even with the conceit of taking away Saidin
Yeah take away Saidin and Rand is still a master swordsman. He was shielded and killed was able to kill 2 warders, one of them unarmed and the other with the first one's weapon.
I think GRRM did admit he was taking the piss a bit with that one to be fair to him
