I don't remember seeing Mike in the "Comeback" movie. I believe this was intentional. I really wanted to see the difference too.
Yeah-the "Comeback" is a f**king joke. Paul Graham (show promoter) made it a tribute to Arnold-since he was very, very good friends with not only Arnold, but also Franco.
The weird thing about the 1980 show is that Paul Graham was the promoter and not Arnold- Arnold had promoted the 76,77,78 and 79 Olympia with his partner Jim Lorimer (of Columbus Ohio). If Arnold had promoted the show he could not have entered. Arnold also promoted the
Pro Universe (now=AKA
Arnold S. Classic) a few weeks after the 1980 Olympia, and many of the guys in the 1980 Olympa were going to go into that show-but dropped out after the Austraila mess (except Tom Platz).
After the 1980 Olympia the shows promoters could no longer pick the judges for the show as they had in all previous years (because of the public perception that 1980 had been fixed-real or perceived). The IFBB started picking all the judges starting in 1981 so people could not claim the fix was in (although that rule did not help Franco's reputation in 81...lol..)
Ricky Wayne has some really good information about the 1980 Mr Olympia in his book "Muscle Wars". That will give everyone a good idea of what happened from first hand sources.
BTW, Ricky Wayne had the biggest arms-in relation to height-of any pro BBer in that era......they were huge for a guy 5'6/190 lbs (21 inches).
