I was at the 1996 Night of Champions in NYC. I sat behind Shawn Ray. I heard Shawn commenting about how tiny Flex’s waist was.
Flex was great. But I honestly was most impressed with Ronnie. Ronnie took 2nd place, and I felt that he should have won.
I remember being very impressed with Don Long’s arms. But overall I felt that Don was a distant 3rd.
98 was a great Olympia. Nasser Flex and Ronnie were all prepped by Chad and all looked their best. Nasser was pure mass a Flex was pure proportion then you had Ronnie in the middle a perfect mix of the 2 he had Flex freak proportions and condition with Nasser Freak size. Genetically neither had what Ronnie had he looked like Flex but twice the size Nasser size Flex small joints it was sick
