great photos thanks for sharing there’s some all time bodybuilding greats that turned up, shame most if not all never showed up too Sergios memorial in Chicago the year before..
From what Sergio Jr. said, his father really wasn't he nicest guy - keep in mind he was shot by his wife. He did virtually everything he could to keep his son from pursuing bodybuilding to the point that poor Sergio Jr. was forced to leave the state. Think about that. Now that he has won the New York Pro, I can see Sergio Jr. making money from bodybuilding for the next 10 years or so and have a good legacy [and hopefully save some money], but he did that on his own accord and initiative - Sergio Sr. did everything possible to prevent that.
I realize Sergio Sr. was an amazing bodybuilder, but that does not mean that he was a good person. I don't mean to be rude to a person not here to defend himself, but I highly, highly doubt that his own son would say things like that about his father without a good reason.
Look at how much influence Joe had - to the point that you have a room full of alpha males in a trance basically kissing up to him. Talk about being influential:
