There's a thread over at Ironage with great pics of the 1980 Olympia. In those pics it is clear why Arnold won. Go check it out!http://ironage.us/yabbse/index.php?topic=7784.0
I read somewhere that arnold got food poisoning right before that contest - he looks it!
thats from the movie "Total rebuild- way to the olympia"... and he drinks that right before he is about to go on stage just to calm him down, the whole thing is a joke when he says its its a special blend of amino acids and protein, and its Jim bean that he is drinking

We have a super knowlegable guy here, 619Rules. I wonder if he could grace us with his insights into this . . .TBC
Arnold owns nothing, and he knew it. You can see clearly in this pic that Arnold didn't DARE to look in the eyes of Mentzer.
He didn't look into Metzners eyes, not because he was afraid, but because it would make Mike even more angry by doing so.Arnold was a master at playing mind games. From the breakfast scene in Pumping Iron where he just slams Louie and Louie lost the contest right there, to the backstage pump room where he just won't take his eyes off Louie to psych him out. Arnold knew how to get under peoples skin in order to piss them off, make them lose concentration or just plain irratate them. If Arnold was afraid of Metzner, how come he's sitting there so relaxed? Just calmly waving his hand, but yet he's totally afraid that Metzner may pounce any moment? Yeah right.
so, what's the difference?
arnold= billionaire , movie star, govenor, ultrasuccesfulmentzer= broke , mentally unstable, deadwho cares whether or not arnold desevred to win in 1980 he won the title and he won in life end of story
