Racing?? What racing is he successful at??? I don't see him going up against an Earnhardt, Gordon, Johnson, Kenseth, Stewart, etc every Sunday in NASCAR!! Isn't that what he has tattooed on his stupid shoulder right - NASCAR. Until he's on that circuit and beating the guys I just mentioned, THEN you can call him successful. Same goes for his bodybuilding - I don't see how anyone can say he's one of the best of ALL TIME....no way, hose'. He was okay for the past 5-10 years, but not of ALL TIME.

Just my .02

I really hate to break this to you, but there are racing circuits other than NASCAR....Lee may be a fan of NASCAR...Ever thought about that dipstick LoL....

...By the way, you can't make a valid argument about Lee's success in bodybuilding, his career speaks for its self douche...LoL

priest aint done yet. he got nascar to conquer

Really?? WHo's going to sign him?? Richard Childress Racing?? Robert Yates?? Evernham?? Hendricks Motor Sports?? Don't think so...........

The dude is so erratic that I don't think HE knows what he wants anymore - just look at his tattoos - he seems to be constantly searching or reinventing himself.

Here's the deal - he had HUGE potential in Bodybuilding and it's my opinion that he blew it - he'll never be a top guy. How can anyone say he's one of the best of all time when he really never won a major contest. Did he win the NOC?? Arnold?? Olympia??

Douche??? Dipstick???You have to resort to name calling?? CANT ANYONE ON THIS BOARD TALK A POINT WITHOUT RESORTING TO CHILDISH NAME CALLING??? I refuse to get to your 12 year old level, okay??

Umm...I realize that there are more racing circuits than NASCAR, my little friend, but everyone says what a great race car driver he is....so let's see him race with the big boys if he's so good.

His record in BB?? Okay, tell me how many Arnolds he's won...NOC's??? Olympias??? That seems to be the barometer of success when competing against the big boys, correct?

This was his rookie year. He's won some stuff in Sept and Oct I believe, also

Sorry, but Lee's bodybuilding career is very impressive compared to the best in the game...The only reason I am debating this fact with you is because you have no real facts to back your claims up...Don't say the Olympia, because many of the best of all time have not taken that crown, but I guess you are saying that all the men that have not taken the Olympia crown were not great bodybuilders...Right???

Okay....so he won 6 contests out of the 43 he completed in and his average Olympia finish was 8th out of the 6 he competed in. Do you really want to count the PDI win as an accomplishment?? I'd have more respect for the dude if he did the Olympia and finished in the top 5.

Dude..I am NOT saying that at all. THere are a ton of great bodybuilders that never won the Olympia....Jeeze...Labra da, Flex Wheeler, Callender, Mentzer, Platz, Nubret.....the list goes on.

I - AND THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY - just don't think that Lee Priest is in that category of the names listed above. He was never a top 5 guy.

Sooo, what your really saying is that you judge every great bodybuilder solely on their Olympia placing right???...I see where you are going with this...We should start debating judging than while were at it, since you have such dedication to the placings at the Mr.Olympia contests......I guess in your opinion, that other bodybuilding contests don't count at all....They are just merely "horse & pony" shows that professional bodybuilder don't have to place at...Right???

That is because you have no valid point...You tried to debate that an accomplished man has not accomplished anything in "your opinion".....I am sorry, but all you have in this debate is your opinion and no facts to prove Lee is not one of the best bodybuilders of all time, not to mention one of the most popular to boot....

Huh?? Of course I have a valid point - Dude..it's YOUR OPINION that he's one of the best bodybuilders of all time......you just don't like the fact that I DONT AGREE WITH YOU!! Let me ask you this...Do you think Lee is better than Robbie Robinson?? He never won an Olympia and I don't think Lee is even in his league.

Hey, man..you want to keep idolizing Lee, go ahead, but the dude is just not all that -

To rant on... Lee is a successful drag racer....Sorry if he didn't chose to compete in your beloved NASCAR....Seeing as how your vision is blinded by being able to only see the Olympia and NASCAR...I guess nothing else exists in your world....If you are comfortable in your world than so be it...The rest of us can respect people that are truly successful in more than two arenas...LoL....

Drag racing??? Why doesn't he have "Drag Racing" tattooed across his shoulder instead of "NASCAR" - did he get confused?? And the reason I'm pointing out the OLYMPIA contest is that it's THE only contest where the best of the best are compared to one another at ONE CONTEST - Not the PDI Night of CHampions, correct??

Come back when you have a better argument, my friend.

Hey, man..you want to keep idolizing Lee, go ahead, but the dude is just not all that -

By they way, a man's career in his chosen profession does reflect his ability of being judged on his ranking among others in his profession over history...You are right however, his being one of the greatest of all time is an opinion...Another point, is that you are comparing two different eras of bodybuilding...You have to judge a bodybuilder based on his competative era...Lee has competed in two different eras and has still held his own...(That is fact by the way) Look at competative history above...On another note, I don't mind you don't agree with me, but you are putting alot heart into putting Lee down....

On a side note, Lee looked awsome at the PDI, it was just unfortunate he had no competition at all....So, no I don't respect the PDI..Yet...I was just glad to see that Lee doesn't have the same lay down tunnel vision as the rest of the IFBB pro's.....
