Two motorists turned up at his family house in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Eddie admitted that footage of the incident "looks bad".
But he spoke out to give more context on the row.
CCTV shows Eddie's wife Alexandra Hall walking towards the cars - which had blacked-out windows - with a dog.
One of the drivers had hopped out of the vehicle to look into the home.
Eddie said in a Youtube video: "They were outside my house, beeping horns, revving engines, very loud exhausts.
"They sat there for a total of 10 minutes before Alex went out to tell them to go away, very politely I might add. They then moved from one side of my driveway to the other side of my driveway and stayed there for a further seven minutes.
"That's when I came out. I was in the garden. I'd just come back from a fight in Poland."
In the clip, the 6ft 3in, 26 stone giant was seen screaming obscenities into the open window of one of the cars, before running at another motor, trying to grab the driver.
But Eddie said he didn't want to hurt them, he just wanted them to leave.
A young child can be heard screaming in the background as the driver speeds off.
He said: "I want to add that there are kids involved. And up until that last 30 seconds I did not know kids were involved in the scenario. My wife didn't know there were kids in the car.
"The video shows me blowing up at a blue BMW driver who is parked literally five meters from the entrance to my property.
"Okay, so I'm telling this guy to f*** off. And this last bit of interaction looks bad.

"It looks really bad. Okay, but when you get the context to it, you'll understand why. So I'm telling this guy to f*** off.
"Just get away from my house. Get away from my family. You're scaring my kids. They're in bed, you know, they're looking out the windows."
As the driver started to leave, Eddie said the motorist told him: "I'm going to knock you the f*** out."
"After an 18 minute interaction, you see red. You know, I'm protecting my kids I'm protecting my family.
"So I blow up, you know. 'Get out the car, I'm going to twist your head off'. All that kind of thing.
"And then on that last bit of the video... the guys, I could see the guys filming me through his window. So I ran towards the car just to grab his phone just to throw it in a bush or something."
But the father was adamant he "didn't touch the guy".
You see red, you know... I'm protecting my kids. I'm protecting my family.
"First off, he is a liar. He's trying to make the narrative suit his objective Which is to make me look like a t***."
The footage was later posted to one of the drivers Facebook accounts.
They wrote: "Big Eddie Hall coming smashing our cars and punching me in the jaw and scaring the kids for no reason and damaging the cars.

"We were nowhere near the house.
"Went to a local pub to Eddie Hall for my cousins 10th birthday in hopes to catch him there then we took to show him where Eddie lives.
"What a way to ruin a 10-year-old's birthday.
"Not to mention the stress caused to my missus who is 37 weeks pregnant."
Eddie denies punching the driver in the jaw and insists he "did not touch the guy" or their cars.
In a YouTube tour of his home posted after he bought it around four years ago, Eddie detailed the security measures he had put in place to stop 'wackos' coming on to his property.
He had spotlights installed all around the property, an electric gate and a full alarm system.
Eddie said: 'In my old house I had a lot of problems of people coming on to my property and knocking on the door at stupid hours asking for autographs and pictures.
"I've had it where people have climbed over the fence to knock on… so you know, as innocent as that may sound it's quite worrying.
'And since I've lived here, I was in my hot tub a couple of weeks ago somebody just wondered into my back garden and literally offered me a fight, literally put his fists up and said, 'let's do some boxing training'…so it just goes to show , being who I am does draw the wackos so the security has been the number one feature for me.'
Eddie won the World's Strongest Man title in 2017 and is best known for his then world-record setting 500 kg deadlift.

Now family of murdered banker lodge complaint against Chief Constable
Scotland's top police officer is the subject of a complaint by the family of murdered banker Alistair Wilson about alleged dishonesty over her handling of the case. Chief Constable Jo Farrell is accused of making a misleading public statement about the reinvestigation of the cold case killing of father-of-two Mr Wilson, who was shot dead on his doorstep in Nairn in 2004. The Mail revealed yesterday that Detective Chief Superintendent Paul Livingstone, who was found to have lied to Mr Wilson's relatives about an aspect of the probe, has been selected for a prestigious training course. Ms Farrell's support for the selection drew fury from Mr Wilson's family, who said it was a 'betrayal' after years of failure by Police Scotland to make a breakthrough in the case. A statement on behalf of the Wilson family said they were 'deeply disappointed' to learn of Mr Livingstone's selection for the College of Policing course 'through the media – not from Police Scotland, who continue to claim that their relationship with our family is a priority'. It said that it was an 'outrage' for Mr Livingstone to be 'considered for promotion, despite lying'. The statement added: 'Equally troubling is that Chief Constable Jo Farrell has backed this promotion, despite our repeated concerns about Livingstone's competence and integrity.' The family said Ms Farrell had 'ignored our requests for a meeting to resolve these matters directly, while herself being subject to a [complaint about] her own honesty'. The Mail can reveal Mr Wilson's family submitted a complaint to the Scottish Police Authority (SPA) about Ms Farrell relating to her handling of the reinvestigation of Mr Wilson's murder, ordered in September last year. It is understood they claim Ms Farrell said a team was already in place and working on the inquiry when in reality the senior investigating officer was on holiday. The complaint will be assessed by the SPA to gauge whether, if proved, it would be misconduct or gross misconduct, or neither, and it could decide to pass the complaint to the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner. Asked to comment on the complaint against Ms Farrell, Police Scotland said inquiries regarding chief officers should be directed to the SPA. An SPA spokesman said: 'The Authority does not comment on individual complaint and conduct matters.' Last night the Association of Scottish Police Superintendents said it was 'supportive of Paul in his continued career'.

Trans woman sexually assaulted man by concealing she had male genitalia while on a 'date', court hears
A transgender woman has been accused of sexual assault after she 'concealed male genitalia' during a night with a Snapchat date. Ciara Watkin, 21, spent the night with a man after they exchanged messages on the social media platform. Paul Reid, prosecuting, told Teesside Crown Court heard Watkin performed sex acts on the man after he arrived at a house in Thornaby, north Yorkshire, a number of years ago. Mr Reid said Watkin pretended to be on a period so that the man would not touch below the defendant's waist. The prosecutor then told the jury that Watkin later contacted her date to reveal 'a massive secret.' Messages sent between the two were read out to the jury. When the alleged victim asked if the secret was that she was pregnant, Watkin replied: 'I'm trans. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.' The man messaged: 'WTF. So you have a d***?' before repeating his question. Watkin added: 'That's why I haven't s****** you.' 'The defendant had concealed from the man that she had a penis, during their brief relationship,' Mr Reid told the jury. 'The man told the police that if he had known Watkin was transgender, he would not have consented. He said: "I don't swing that way".' The court heard that Watkin's Snapchat profile used a female cartoon avatar and that there had been no discussion about sexuality or gender. When arrested, Watkins told officers: 'Me and him had sex without me telling him I was a boy. When I let him know I was a different gender, he didn't like it.' 'She agreed that sexual activity had taken place,' Mr Reid said, outlining the prosecution's case. Watkin, of Thornaby, denies two counts of sexual assault and one count of sexual assault by penetration. The trial continues.

Terrifying moment thug pulls out machete during 20-person brawl on residential street
This is the terrifying moment a machete wielding thug attempts to stab two men during a 'wild west' style mass brawl that erupted on a residential street in Birmingham. The shocking footage was captured when around 20 men fought in broad daylight along Showell Green Lane in Sparkhill, Birmingham as frightened bystanders and passing motorists looked on. As fighting spilled out into the middle of the suburban thoroughfare a man wearing a grey sweatshirt and black track suit bottoms can be seen holding what appears to be a large knife. With ferocious punches and kicks being traded as the men fought in the middle of the road, he is filmed rushing into the melee and attempts to slash a man in a white vest who is attacking a man wearing a robe. He appears to strike his back with the large blade and then steps away from the brawl returning moments later to try and slash a man in a blue tee-shirt who is punching a rival who has fallen in the middle of the road. The machete wielder is then seen being led away by another man and calmly walking around the corner as the fighting continues. It is not known what caused the vicious brawl which appears to have started as two groups of men remonstrated with each other while stood around a sliver car. Shouts of 'oi, oi' can then be heard and fighting initially breaks out in a garden with other men brawling in the road, causing passing traffic to swerve around them as shocked motorists sounded their horns. At one point, a man falls to the ground and is surrounded by rivals raining kicks and punches on him. One onlooker who did not wish to be named said: 'It was like a Wild West saloon brawl, there were bodies everywhere as the men rolled around the ground fighting. 'I don't know what caused it, but this group were talking in a quite animated way for a while before something sparked it. "From then on it was just carnage. All hell broke loose. There were fights breaking out all over the place. It's not want you want to see.' The onlooker added: 'It's pretty shameful really, there's lots of families with kids around here and you've got grown men acting like this.' Another witness said: 'We only noticed the man with the machete when we saw the video. Luckily, he never stabbed anyone, but you can see that he tried this best to. 'It's frightening to think that there are morons like this walking around with weapons-he could easily have killed someone or caused them serious injury.' After the fighting came to a stop, some of them men continued to remonstrate with each other, but the majority got in their cars and drove off. One eyewitness can be heard saying: 'Take the beef home,' while another adds: 'F***ing stupid.' The Sparkhill area of Birmingham has been blighted by gang violence in recent years with much of it attributed to drug dealing that the neighbourhood has become notorious for. Last year, videos posted on social media showed a man being stabbed while walking along a busy road in Sparkhill in the middle of the afternoon. Footage showed the victim trading blows with a man in the middle of the road while cars swerved around them. Two men are then seen sprinting into the road to join the brawl - with one pulling a large knife out of his waistband and then stabbing him. Earlier this year, a drugs gang that sold multiple kilos of heroin and cocaine across Birmingham were jailed for a combined total of 77 years. Police started investigating the drug ring after some of its members attacked a house in Sparkhill from where a rival drug gang was operating with machetes and shotguns. Following last week's brawl in Sparkhill, a West Midlands Police spokesperson said: 'We've arrested four men on suspicion of violent disorder following an incident on Showell Green Lane, Sparkhill, shortly after 7.30pm, last Wednesday (13 August). 'Four men, aged 23, 22 and two aged 20, were taken into custody and have since been bailed with strict conditions as our enquiries continue. 'Witnesses or anyone with any information should contact us on 101 quoting crime number 20/342846/25. 'Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. 'We have increased patrols in the area to offer reassurance to the community.'
