Bodybuilding history credits Arnold's FIRST contest as being the 1965 Jr. Mr. Europe when in fact he had done several shows in local hotels and bars. Ask him if he has fond memories of those VERY FIRST shows he did with Kurt Marnul and the others.
hmm interesting. I hope the pair has enough balls to ask him that.
Well, it's not like it would be a derogatory question.
Some how I doubt Arnold wants to talk about that.
Well, it would be cool to hear Arnold talk about his VERY FIRST experience of stepping on stage at those hotels and bars.
Ask Arnie, what was the hoo-haa with his "conversation" backstage with Mentzer all about during the 80 O, find out also if he had arranged with Waller to have "his back" should the incident have turned nasty?

Out of respect for Mike Mentzer's death, who can't defend himself, I HIGHLY doubt that would EVER be discussed again -- at least not from Arnold's point of view.
Yeah, the Gropinator is a really classy guy.
Towards women? No...Towards the dead? Who the hell knows...
I didn't know if it was ever "discussed"- anyway just throwin it out there.
How about dead women?
I assume you don't have the old back issue muscle magazines.
Naa, I don't hang on to them, not that far back..
No that far back???We're only talkin' the 1980's here.
Yeah that was only like 20+ years ago, you know the same decade I was born in, I sure he has kept them all this time
I'd like to know if Weider ever got scared that he had created a monster, and tried to drag Arnold back down in any way when he saw Arnold slipping away. Was there tension between them as Arnold's star was on the rise, and if so how did they resolve it?
This makes no sense. The bigger a star Arnold became, the more copies of Flex Joe could sell by putting Arnold's picture in them.
True. Arnold's increasing fame undoubtedly helped Joe line his pockets. I get the impression, however, that Mr. Weider prefers to lord it over "his boys." Ask Serge Nubret, Lee Priest, etc.What I'm really asking is - did they reach some sort of mutual blackmail agreement at some point and agree to go their separate ways? The way I worded it in the last post is far more likely to get asked though.
