The two guys that impressed me most in that clip were Charles Clairemont and Mike Fancois, and they only took 9th and 10th.  ::)

Matarazzo's double bi was awesome too.

Lots of great talent in that show, i think cormier may have been the youngest on stage that year but he looked great with the wide ass shoulders and tiny waist but you can tell he had more (muscle) maturing to do. There was 6 IFBB hall of famers in that show and atleast 1 (Cormier) or more future hall of famers.

Its funny when you hear that one guy in the crowd, "yeah ronnie.....ronnie looking good" no idea that he would be one of the best mr. olympias of all time. That was a sick line up. Francois was the man, its too bad he has colitis

Cormier looked Etched in Stone... Flex was a lil watery there ..Levrone was awesome.. Dillet and Fux looked identically weird, esp dillet posing like an epiletic(not funny i know), Nassar got a huge ovation , some Ronnie lover was sitting close ..he was talking to himself..GREAT LINE UP!

There you guys go again trying to judge from a video.  I was there, Dorian looked great but was pushed hard by Shawn.  As good as any of the others may look on the vid, those 2 were quite a way ahead.  This was the year they brought in the diuretic test.

Anyone notice how there were no guts?

All about conditioning back then and eating like a bird, staying tight like a drum.

damn Mike F's skin was so thin when he lifted his arm is was like a thin onion peel

I nominate Aaron Baker for "most screwed-over guy ever in the IFBB."  Look at him.  Freaky size, near-perfect proportions and no weak areas.  He placed 11th at the 1996 O in that video.  The highest professional placings he got were a 3rd place in 1994 (beaten by Vince Taylor and Cormier), a string of 2nd place finishes in 1995 and another 3rd place in 1998.  Of course he had the misfortune those times of going up against Flex Wheeler.

Can anyone think of someone more deserving of the title?  I mean look at these.

No doubt Aaron Baker was hugely underrated. Awesome back double bicep and a great bodybuilder. I think he was getting screwed over because he entered the WBF. Anyone else think he looks like an even gayer version of little Richard?

WOW..Its hard to Imagine Ronnie placing so low.. 8)

Dorian looked shitty. Talk about avg looking genetics, and pure but breaking hard earned physique.

Levrone/Flex/ looked great.

Dorian looked one of the worst in the whole line up, cormier looked like he could have easily stepped into the Mr O's shoes......
and Shawn Ray got a very little cheer  ;D

Post by: kiwiol on May 25, 2006, 01:03:16 AM
6th

That's right. At the contest itself, he placed 7th, which is why he wasn't in the posedown. But a few days later, Nasser had to forfeit his placing and the prize money due to testing positive for diuretics (the testing wasn't implemented the following years) and Ronnie's was moved up to the 6th place. Too bad he wasn't in the posedown, since it would be interesting to see him next to Doz in the posedown trading random shots  :'(

i think baker was over-rated...i think baker looked like crap..he had a long torso and his delts and chest were too small..his back looked like shit...he did have imprssive arms...but still not big enough..he deserved his placings wat so ever...too small in the delts and chest and back...AARON SUCKED

are you joking?  yes Aaron had a long torso but his chest and delts were not weak, his back wa probably one of the top ones in the world..he had pretty much every body part...his only weakness was going to the WBF.  Get yourself some pics of the 95 Ironman or the show right before it that year and tell me that Aaron didn't beat Flex, it was a joke, AAron was robbed.

I am glad to see there are others who can see what the dorian fans cannot.

Dorian was nothing really special from the front. And the video helps to support that argument.

agreed, he looked terrible... from that video i find it hard to believe he even got in the top 5
