Title: Will the 2007 Olympia be the best ever, the worst or just ok?
Post by: HowieW on March 06, 2007, 08:37:58 PM
Hmmm, I think it will be a major dog fight among the top 6-7 guys. Could be the best line up ever , in terms of overall depth and quality in the top 10?? Comments.....

The olympia will never be like it was in the 90s.

Back then, every guy 1-10 was utterly phenomenal. Now, we are lucky to have half that number.

now imagine this : vic won the last show ( a gift ) , if he wins the o ( not this year anyway ) but let's say if..... knowing all the problems he have and probably more to come, can you see this guy Mr. o this year?

if he wins, i'll never watch the fu*kin' thing again.

with Coleman coming back, cutler trying to keep his crown, vic pushing, the top 5 from the last show.... it's gonna be the best one from the past 5 years..... (except 2006)

According to Flex every Olympia is the best ever. so yes it will be.

This should be good though because there will be 2 Mr.Os on stage.

The best Ever Ronnie Coleman will be there and this will be the contest to show if he has it in him to come back.

Chick---If the olympia plans on giving away a car or truck this year...It may be a good idea to suggest they give away a hybrid type...With all the B.S. going on about the enviroment it could help shine a positive light on an industry that desperately needs it...Feel free to use that as your own ;)

How many 100% Jay vs. 100% Ronnie do you need? 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005... Shall we go on?

They were both 100% then, and Ronnie won... He was also almost 10 years older than Jay at the time, so we'll see.

Letting Coleman be beaten, as opposed to the incumbent winning as in previous Olympias, immediately made it more interesting. Not better competitors, but less predictable.

Post by: Royalty on March 07, 2007, 08:51:04 AM
I think Jay will take straight firsts.


Coleman will take straight seconds.


Melvin, Victor, Gustavo, Phil, and Dexter will battle for third.

I have a feeling that Freeman may have a hard time peaking again.

I still think the plan is for Ronnie to win, then announce his retirement, setting up an open field for next year.

I have no doubt that Ronnie will look better than Jay this year.
As far as the IFBB giving the title back to Ronnie.........Probably not but it would make up for Jay getting screwed in 01.

Jay will take either first or second no matter what....Martinez can take it if he comes in crispy, if not he will have to fight for a top 5 spot...Dex will have to fight in the top 5...Freeman is placing in the top 3 easy...If Big Ron comes in perfect he can take it, if not he will fight in the top 5....

I think the expectation will be insane and the build up the biggest ever but the result will be one sided.. who's side? .. Too early to tell.

Actually, I was referring to Weider and Manion's plan.

I would love to see Martinez take it, but he won't until he gets his conditioning perfect...I think Ronnie should just retire...I think the top 5 at this year's Olympia will be 1st-Jay; 2nd Martinez; 3rd Freeman; 4th Coleman; 5th Dexter

They were both 100% then, and Ronnie won... He was also almost 10 years older than Jay at the time, so we'll see.

So are you saying that he is not almost 10 years older than jay now?  Has he stopped aging?

I think it's quite obvious by my thinking that as you age, your body can not rejuvenate itself as quickly, and the idea that he can look the same as he gets older is just ludicrous...

Of course he is still 10 years older than Jay... and becoming older every day... Jay is in his prime, and Ronnie is starting to fade... That's life as you get older.
