Worst decision in BBing judging history? Jay beat Ronnie?

[New York]

the 1972 Essen Germany Olympia is still the biggest travesty in bbing history

Agreed.

[slayer]

jays' quads looked great in 2001.

 but ronnie owned him in a lot of those poses..

jay owned ronnie from head to toe, would have owned any incarnation of ronnie period!

even his arms smoked ronnie!

"bloated gut" isn't one of the mandatory poses

you must have been living under a rock since 1994.

In 1995 the BG pose was implemented and has helped choose the winner ever since!

WHEN ADONIS LOST THE GETBIG COMPETITION.

WORSE DECISION IN BODYBUILDING HISTORY

t here have been tons of worst decisions in BB in regards to the 06 Olympia.  If I remember right Ronnie looked terrible at pre judging and that's where Jay basically won the show, people were saying if Ron would have showed up like he did on Saturday for Friday's prejudging he would have won.  Right off the top of my head I'd say the worst ones are the 72 Olympia, I've seen pics where it looked like Oliva buried arnold, the 80 and 81 Olympia's...everyone seems to agree that arnold and franco should not have won it's just an issue of who should have beat them.  the next shows would be the 89 and 90 olympia, labrada won those, I don't care what anyone says and if someone really pushes it Christian or Ray could have placed ahead of Haney in 90, they destroyed him.  Dorian in 94 was bad but Dorian came back strong in 95..96 I honestly don't remember off the top of my head but I remember thinking Ray should have won.  01...Jay destroyed Ronnie that year, just crushed him and if you take away Ronnie's better overall natural shape it wouldn't even be close...

For jay it is

[spinnis]

what!

[Hulkster]

yeah, jay's gut was as bad as Ronnie's.

but you'll never hear the ronnie haters admit that..

I can't believe you honestly think Ronnie deserved to win in 2001 after he was deemed inferior in muscularity and symmetry by the judges. WTF 

[Hulkster]

you act like the judges score accurately?

here is a hint:

you and a few others on the truce thread are the ONLY bb fans that take the judges scoring as the gospel.

the rest of us have eyes and brains and can see for ourselves.

we are not blind followers..

maybe ironage would be better for you..

Right....that's why Ronnie was booed off the stage in 2002 

" Ronnie won his fifth Mr. Olympia this year and was received with a thunderous round of boos from the audience as he was awarded the title. This was the worst condition that Ronnie has looked in winning the Mr. O since 1998."

[TroubleReady39]

2005 WAS the worst.

2007 has replaced it as the worst choice ever.

I posted this in a different thread but I think it's relevant to this one...

The only Coleman Olympia that was super questionable
was 2001 and people seem to forget that Jay didn't
pass some kind of diurectic test and was much drier than Ronnie.
Jay hired a lawyer and the whole thing was dropped ( This is what I remember
to the best of my knowledge) It's been 6 years, but I personally
think had Ronnie done the same drying out process Jay used that year
2001 wouldn't have been a question in Ronnie's carreer.

LOL @ Jay suing the IFBB.

haha they seemed to forgive him 5 years later!

not even close.  Worst decisions in BB history are Haney over labrada in 90, no way does a 20lbs lighter, softer Lee Haney beat Labrada that day, never in a million years.  Dorian over Ray in 94 was bad, really bad.  Padilla getting screwed in 81 was terrible, that physique he had that night might be one of the top 10 alltime, Franco got one of the biggest gift in BB history that night.  Arnold in 80 was pretty damn bad.  Chris duffy winning the HW nationals a few years ago was really bad but nobody really remembers that but if you watch the show he was no better than 3rd.

BB is full of bad decisions....it's almost a joke.
