He said after he got sick. " I wish I had kept driving my removal truck and never took drugs or got into bodybuilding"
This seems to be a common lament.
Yes unfortunately
All these guys non pro or non competitive bodybuilders taking steroids so they look jacked in a Tshirt , are not thinking ahead. But we all have to make our own choices.

Friends thanks for all your love and prayers It meant so much not only to me but to mikes family! GOD Bless everyone!

Just seen this break on CNN sad times first robin now mike all in one week
Too late, I fixed it and will report you in case you do it again.
A joke is OK, but this one is over the line.
Lol "report" him? Don't be such a bitchmade faggot and learn to take a joke
Maybe Ron can confirm or deny?
On Facebook? Well not on his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ifbbProMikeMatarazzo
People write anything on FB, says nothing.
Maybe Ron can confirm or deny?
the guys on facebook who where talking about knew mike personally, they where retired pros from the 90,s who where freinds of his. them guys always find out everything ahead of the rest of us,it seems that way anyway
Its inaccurate to say that dude , massive steroid abuse is what kills you. I don't think running small doses over time does you in like this.Why take any at all?
RIP Mike
Then enlighten us with a link, thank you.
Why take any at all?
jerry scalese pro bodybuilder
You come with a claim and now I have to Google it myself? ::)
its on his facebook page,check it out
"It's there and there..." For fuck sake, is post a link that hard?!
im gonna try to copy the post by mikes freind n post it here
Lacey Matarazzo: This is perfect Mel, you were a great friend to Mike!
She sounds related, shouldn't that confirm?
Mike Matarazzo passed away last night. Mike was the first pro I met at his seminar at Mr. Louisiana in 1996. I was amazed at how nice and down to earth he was. Total gentleman. He's the standard which I judge Bodybuilders as good or poor ambassadors for the sport... He was that good. As a 17 year old he made me feel special and spend 20 minutes with me and my friends. After speaking to Mike I was hooking and that visit solidified in my mind that I wanted to be part of the bodybuilding industry. Thank you, Mike! RIP!
That's his wife.
You'd assume she'd know, right?Wake up: the fucking guy is dead.
Wait, Ron better confirm first.

ron will confirm in very shortly
its almost like people r in denial about it, i wish it was just a rumor but it isnt,its true unfortunately
Cool, he's still alive until then.
RIP - Mike Matarazzo
Sad to say goodbye so soon!
Muscular Development Magazine Sr. Editor, Peter McGough Reports- Mike passed away waiting on a Heart Transplant.
One of the true hardcore Bodybuilders who never forgot where he came from or who he was.
He would always start out by saying, "My Father this or my Father that" which spoke volumes to how much he thought of his father and now he's reunited with.
While I feel sad for the family I feel grateful to have known Mike and the kind of person he was. This selfishly sucks but man he he made a life out of this sport, saw the world, inspired many and became known all over the world based on his blue collar no BS Training.
Iron Mike may you rest in peace and give your father a big hug for me, it's the one thing I long for and look forward to with my dad.
You will always be Remembered by those who knew you because we simply can never forget you.
SRay & Family
no hes dead even if ron says hes not,no disrespect to ron tho

On a side note how does beef hurt ones heart?
From Peter McGough
But due to his illness had not been able to attend any of Mike’s contests since 1997, due to illness.
R.I.P
He's flexing his calves in heaven now
I'm shocked that nobody else has picked up on the fact that he got Singerman into prostitution.

RIP Mike. Talked to him at several shows during the early 90's. Seemed like a very nice guy. Sad.
RIP.
Mike was one of the coolest and nicest bodybuilders. Always took time to talk to you. At some Muscle Camps Shawn Ray set up, and I was taking pics, Mike was gracious, happy and truly enjoyed talking to fans and people who trained about everything.
Here is an interview and notes with Mike I did on December 21, 2004. Once again, great guy.

I am disappoint that getbig isn't listed among their "proof" that bb is a devil cult.
there is one thing i dont understand from many of you clowns... you guys know he destroyed his life due to steroid abuse, yet post...pictures of his roided physique. How can you condemn something and yet at the same time worship it?
total nonsense.
Go fuck yourself you are not wanted in this thread.

kind of sad but it's harder to have sympathy when it's one of these kind of self inflicted deaths... "live by the sword die by the sword"

GB is a clear indicator that bodybuilding is a devil cult.
Some characteristics of GB that prove this are:
Narcissism
Gluttony
Pride
Lust
Selfishness
Greed
Psychoticism
Self-harm (via drugs)
Low self-esteem due to lack of a spiritual soul
Inhibited personalities
More or less in that order.
In his prime, Mike was easily tier 3 with tier 2 potential. Just saying.
$5000+ club (tier 1)
Coleman, Cutler, Doz, Nasser, Fux, Bautista, Warren, etc.
$3000- $4000 club (tier 2)
Atwood, D. Ball, K. Green, M. Kjellstrom, Z. Khan, Kovacs, J. Long, V. Martinez, Ruhl, Scholz,
$2000 and under (tier 3)
Arntz, Efferding, D. Riley, Constantinos, R. Burneika, Centopani, S. Milne, S. Farmer, L. Priest
$1000 and under (tier 4)
Ty Young, C. Martin, M. VanWyck
(tier 5)
the usual suspects
Bay, good to see you around here.. Ruhl only tier 2? Looks like he got shafted again!!

Marcus has many muscles, but he ain't no looker, that's for sure. No homo.
Yet, children die every day from abuse, neglect, and starvation, and no one blinks an eye. A bodybuilder dies from drug abuse, and the tears flow.

you cant be serious that all those guys are doing g4pThat is the scale that they could earn. Not all go for it.
Dam got to get myself to tier 1 level sounds like there is good money to be made.
Rip
But go out like a man and blame yourself and your choices in life not the drugs
He died
Thank god his freind was Mel Chancey
That clearly solved everything, or at least gave Chancy some hype for his precious facebook
He said that he had low attached lats...thing was he wasn't "built" for bbing. Had big arms, but no split between his and tris, big calves, and that was it. Sticking one's tongue out and doing crab shots can't hide the fact that he was out classes.
Man, this is terrible news. There truly was something special about Mike, and it wasn't even bodybuilding related. Just seemed like a very genuine guy. I was hoping to hear more from him after the interviews, but he lead a pretty quiet life after his health problems. While this news isn't a surprise, his life could very well be a warning post for anyone still naive about the bodybuilding process at the professional level. He went through it all, had no illusions and from his interviews seemed to have many regrets about his bodybuilding lifestyle.
He just faded away until he passed away, and maybe that's fitting for a guy who was so brash and extroverted when he was stomping around the IFBB. Truly a sad day. RIP and my prayers to his family and friends.
:(

sadly nothing will help,young guys that jump into this lifestyle are too stupid and ignorant to let something like this sink into their brain
he probably still has bigger biceps & calves than 99% of getbiggersmore like 99.98% and still being generous.
Ok, it seems that GH + slin isn't as innocent as regular steroids (most guys from the "golden era" are still going strong). I expect many more guys from the slin era dieing in comming 10 years or so...
i remember at a jersey show one yr a guy said to mike that he must be on some good quality juice to b that big, mike said (bro,if all it was was taking tons of juice how come most of these guys here in the audiance dont look like me n they r prolly on steroids also? he said lets b real, if i tested every dude that walked thru these doors tonight for steroids id say a very high amount would come up dirty, so why aint they in the olympia or up here guest posing instead of me. dude scratched his head n walked away,mike said hard work,genetics and lifestyle is just as important
U also gotta factor in the dosages too
Back then it was only steroids but they ran as much as they can for back then
Nowadays the dosages are much higher plus all sorts of exotics
Not to mention u have guys eating 10k calorie diets which no one did back then
U can say gym rat dosages is a lot different than nationals/pro level usage
Everyone liked him because he was genuine. He didn't bullshit about where he would place, he said the guys better than him were better, he didn't bullshit when he had problems.i remember an article about the guy many years ago, they followed him around for a day. author commented on how he worked out no where near the 'strict form' that was always purported by the mags to be needed. ' i do what i need to feel the muscle' was mikes answer. how he talked about eating pounds of pasta and bread while trying to mass up, again a far cry from the chicken and brown rice the mags pontificated about. an 'everyman' bb, if there ever was one.
Eating too much + staying too heavy + Stress on body from bodyweight and preparing for contests just builds up on some guys.
RIP.well put Ronald.

http://www.getbig.com/iview/matarazzo041221.htm
He was forced to retire due to having open heart surgery on December 8, 2004 as a result of clogged arteries. At the time of his death he was residing in Modesto, California,[2] and was last reported to be working as a bail bondsman for AJ's Bail Bonds.[3] He was forced to stop working as a bail bondsman due to limitations on physical activity related to his 20% heart function.[4] On November 8, 2007, Matarazzo suffered a heart attack, his second cardiac-related problem since his surgery in December 2004.[5] On August 3rd, 2014, Matarazzo was in the intensive care unit of Stanford hospital in Palo Alto due to heart complications. The information was transmitted by his wife, Lacey Matarazzo (nee Porter), via longtime friend Mel Chancey's Facebook page, and reposted on various bodybuilding websites.[6][7] On August 17, 2014, Mel Chancey, a longtime family friend, announced via Facebook that Matarazzo had died in the ICU at Sanford hospital while awaiting a heart transplant. The information was confirmed by Peter McGough, editor at Muscular Development magazine[8][9].
Heart disease is referenced but you don't normally die from heart disease that young unless its a specific heart defect itself.Diagnosis: Anabolic Steroids
Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Diseases under the heart disease umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects), among others.
The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.
So my question is did he have "cardiovascular disease" from horrible long-term lipid profile (bad cholesterol) from all the red meat and AAS or did he have an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly) from the synergy of the AAS/GH which makes hearts grow along with the prolonged high blood pressure. It seems to me the enlarged heart would cause heart failure and the need for a pace maker and/or transplant much quicker than just cardiovascular disease (which wouldnt kill you so fast). He had to have something causing his heart NOT to pump correctly for this to end his life so young. I wish we knew more out the precise diagnosis he had. Anyone?
Wiki
It honestly sounds like he may have had advanced cardiovascular disease (blockage) along with enlarged heart and reduced ejection fraction by the reference that his heart was only 20% functional. So essentially, he probably had it ALL due to the diet and AAS/GH. Id still like to know more about his precise diagnosis.
Diagnosis: Anabolic SteroidsPeople are just showing respect.

i hear u but its hard not to keep taking huge amount of drugs when u r a pro trying to make money off the sport, its hard to tell a guy whos 20 that he may have health problems when hes 50,they aint thinking that far ahead,then bam,your 50 n u say oh shit when the doc says u have organ trouble

respect for the dead surly calls for an awareness of how they got in to that situation
It makes one wonder when these "professionals" will smarten up, band together, and go after the IFBB for monetary damages, similar to what is happening in the NFL. I would think that this would be a no brainer for any current and former IFBB pro...

Wow! Skip was the only natural one there :o
I hope you're sarcastic here
but u have to give props to Skip for taking pictures and hanging with juiced guys, he wasn't' intimidated by their huge artificial frames
I hope you're sarcastic here
I'm sure he built his pro level physique with hard training, dieting and the right supplements. After all he was sponsored by AST or something like that back then. I'm sure he had the finest protein powders, creatine, to maximize his performance
one of my favorite pics of Mikeyes freaking huge..
Mikes last name easily fits on the back of his shirt in big letters. Thats how wide he was.Good point. Good thing some guys have short last names now.

Thank you,

THIS , is what the focus should be right now.
Pushing the envelope to win is what elite/pro level sport is all about.
Mike was a cool , hardcore pro who was very popular with the fans.
Pros like him made being bodybuilding fan a lot more fun and interesting.
I'm glad I got to see him , doing his thing, in his prime , like many other fans.
It's sad he's gone, but nobody lives forever.
Have a cold one ,up above, with your dad big Mike.
Nobody lives forever but they're certainly dead forever. Given the tone of an interview of Mike after all his health problems began, I suspect he would have changed his past if he could. In his situation, who wouldn't? Perhaps some hardcore idiots but most people would rather live a long healthy life than a short sordid one.

I am unaware Mike lead a sordid life.
His drug use/abuse was nothing but sordid. That is what I would reference in relation to the term.
Hmm, I see drug use as being a poor decision. I have not considered that some folks see it as immoral, dishonorable or sleezy.
Hmm, I see drug use as being a poor decision. I have not considered that some folks see it as immoral, dishonorable or sleezy.
there is likely nothing could have helped Mike live to 60. some people just won't live long. some can abuse their organs like crazy and live to their 80's. even if he lived the life of a health fanatic, genetic predispositions would have probably resulted in an early demise for Mike.Wrong. Steroids killed Mike Matarazzo in what should have been the prime of his life.
Bodybuilding is marketed as a healthy endeavor. But, it is an extreme lifestyle sport---where massive amounts of foods, drugs, dieted and muscle turns it into an unhealthy endeavor. PIP Mike Matarazzo.
meat won't kill u, saturated fat won't kill u = fact, there are populations on earth living almost exclusively on animal protein and fat and rarely display heart issues
things take a 180 degree turn when carbs are included in the upper equation which spike insulin levels
that - and the fact that farmed animals are fed shit and that low quality crap is then fed to humans. Nutrition and genetics need to match. It makes as much sense for humans to eat wheat as it is for rhinos to eat chocolate. Poor quality fats and shit carbs is what makes people fat, U.S. being the flag ship in this regard.
how many people here know that 'Atlantic salmon' is another name for farm fed salmon that is extremely poor in quality compared to wild caught salmon
I think this is the ideal time to bring up the ironic nature of bodybuilding and health.
Fans cheer loud and long for freaks. No extreme drugs and prep regimes = NO FREAKS ( as we know it).
I've been a long time advocate for awarding classic physiques with good definition as the ideal.
I see no reason why we need male MPD models in surf shorts standing on stage with their hand on their hip.
Nor do we need figure and bikini babes strutting around either.
We simply need male and female bodybuilders , doing actual poses and being judges on who has the best overall physique.
Freaky size and grainy hardness should never be the key to winning a physique contest.
The promoters may feel differently. Seems like they are searching for ways to attract a larger and broader audience. A narrower focus on bodybuilding competitions may be good for the sport aspect of bodybuilding, but probably wouldn't bring in the crowds the way the "circus" it has become does.
I have interest in them, very nice to view ;)
yeah , but the last time you got pussy, Bill Clinton was president. ;DWhen's the last time you weren't trying to hide your male pattern baldness?
RIP :(Are you here to pay these men here their money? If not, then leave.
I'll always enjoy good bodybuilding match ups.
BUT have very little interest in swimsuit , beauty contests like bikini and MPD.
