Anyone who says someone OTHER than Ronnie should've won the 98 O, HASN'T seen the video! 
Why don't you guys post some of the evening pics???
Ronnie was the hardest guy onstage at the pre judging, but he was flat...and still out massed everyone!!! Hell, he made Nasser look small!!!
But when the evening show came, he had filled out, and it was as different as night as day! 
Nobody had ever seen anything like that, that size and shape with INSANE conditioning...
His ONLY flaw that night was his gyno, other than that, that night, Ronnie redefined bodybuilding 
I read a report recently of the contest that said the same thing.
It basically said that Ronnie got better and better as the contest
went along. I need to save these reviews when I find them.
Anyway, Here are some quotes from that contest...
The audience genuinely freaked however, when it was Ronnie Coleman's turn to take the stage. He had the biggest back in the show, even bigger than Sonbaty. He was totally ripped and symmetrical, striated and simply beautiful to look at.
Lori Victoria Braun
His senses were reeling, battling to come to terms with the scene unfolding around him. He stood next to precontest favorite Flex Wheeler at the top of the ramp erected at The Theater at New York's Madison Square Gardens, gazing out over the seething maelstrom of a sellout crowd of 5,600. They were in an uproar as a chant of "RON-NIE! RON-NIE!" filled the auditorium, as it had throughout the day.
