He also wrote a short story in which 1 armed Jaimie bested Rand al Thor. You can't take him seriously

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

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!

Rand would no diff him even if he was still locked in the depression box
