need to correct you on a couple of things...
1. we sleep at night, awake during day. fair enough?
2. not many actually drink fosters, hardly anywhere even sells it
3. we call lebs lebs, (australians of lebanese descent)
4. *some* but not all do weird things in the outback incl feeding babies to dingos

unfortunately I don't have a comeback for the tiny mouths and bushy hair. its true.

Bodybuilding in Australia is alive well thanks to people like Tony Doherty! The guy is an absolute legend down under. There is not a bad word that could be said about him.

The Aussie Pro was an awesome show. Thanks for all your hard work Tony!

I enjoyed the time the infamous Craig Titus came down under.

Luke, did u ever get to talk to Craig? If so, what was your impression of him? And, was this King Tamali Vs. Titus feud real, or just a magazine mock-up?

AVBG · « **Reply #35 on:** May 12, 2007, 01:52:26 AM »

My fave was the one that Cormier won.

Chris deserved that win. I dont think anyone disagreed with that decision.

He came down under this year and did some promotional work. The guy still has mass, but is a shadow of his former self.

Would like to see 'the real deal' back on the 'big stages' again and kicking some serious-butt!

I know, I caught up with CC. I disagree about your "shadow of his former self" comment... He looked on track, keep in mind he's planning on comming back at the Europa show

i read lukes comment in MMI about his thoughts on Titus's shananigans last year. He said something about sharing a cab with craig and he seemed like a swell guy.

personally i dont believe luke was qualified to comment on craigs character based on those circumstances

Fair enough. I wish Chris well in his comeback. That long stint in hospital ravaged his body.

I take your word for it and hope that he is ontrack for the Europa.

I feel that Chris has been very unlucky. I kind of see the guy as a Mr Olympia that never was!

fingers crossed and hopefully he'll stay injury free..I'd like to see him win the O.. I remember as a young trainer when Chris got his pro card and done his first flex interview/article I was really impressed

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #43 on:** May 12, 2007, 04:12:26 AM »

Chris is very popular down under.

He appeared on one our footy shows. The crowd loved him. He came across as very humble and polite.

i would love to see him do some damage in the O as well.

Was Sonny Schmidt an Aussie? I know he was of Samoan descent, but thought for some reason, he was Kiwi.

The Aussies adopted Sonnie as one their own. The big guy never forgot his heritage though.

He was a true family man. Unfortunately a stint in the can was the low, in a most brilliant career!

My boyfriend that died lived in Australia for 20 some years and owned a gym there too...do you know him, Hank?

Yes, Sonny won the Master's Olympia and then died not long after that.

He was not born in Australia, he is of islander heritage.

The Aussies like to claim him as one of their own. His family would become outraged when the public referred to their Sonny as the guy from 'down under'.

RIP Sonny. All the Aussies wish we could have adopted you!

Sonny was Somoan heritage but became a Aussie citizen.. He did win the Mr Australia

New Hank Wood · « **Reply #49 on:** May 13, 2007, 08:27:48 PM »

Sonny never forgot his roots. He loved the Australian culture but his heart was always in the islands.

An awesome presence in BB. He will never be forgotten in this country.
