Well I returned late last night from a history making event..... the return the WBBG.
Old farts like me will remember shows like Dan Lurie's WBBG Mr. Olympus... a show that back in the day rivaled Joe Weiner's Mr. Olympia. Past winners of Dan's prestigious event included none other the the world’s most gifted bodybuilders...Sergio Oliva and Serge Nubret.
I estimated that last night's event held no less that 6500 spectators and a mind boggling 275 competitors.
Dan Lurie himself was on hand to hand out the 7.5 foot 25 carrot gold plated trophies.
Here's a photo of the height class winers,Short glass guy( center )took the overal, I forgot where he's from other than somewhere in Massachusetts... you know that same state that has produced for many champions including the current Mr. O.

6500 spectators, that's a lot of people for a bodybuilding show.
From the looks of the stage it looks like it was held in a high school auditorium and not many of those hold 6,500.
I call bullshit on the attendance estimates. ;D
Winner of the female event.....
...bleeding from the rug burn effect I sustained...Lovely thanks for sharing.
Lovely thanks for sharing.
Off by 5,000 my be a more realistic number.
I have it from a reliable source there were under 100 people in attendance. That and being held in a high school auditorium puts it in the same league as the IFBB Keystone Pro.

Must be a "gay friendly" area....
I have it from a reliable source that his source toooo unreliable.

So, is WBBG a Professional organization? I mean, you said Sergio did their shows back in the day.
That last guy's post got me thinking about SEX, that got me thinking about this fine lady.....
Yes, Dan promoted amateur and pro contests back in the late 1960s into the 1980s.Thanks for the info. Seriously, I don't remember anything about these guys.

yes, this one was an amatuer contest
:-X
I have it from a reliable source there were under 100 people in attendance. That and being held in a high school auditorium puts it in the same league as the IFBB Keystone Pro.Actually, according to Lift's estimate, the Keystone Classic had less than 10 fans in attendance, at least 7 of whom claimed to have gotten lost and made a wrong turn, and 3 others who said they were showing up early for the Meatloaf concert on the following night.

and I would do anything for an Olympia qualification, but I won't do that...Excellent use of lyrical humor that sadly, shall go unrecognized by the majority of Getbiggers, like a pair o' thighs by the dashboard light.

It must have been Jack London's guest posing that brought in the epic audience count.

Bix, you have no credibility at this point...

Come on Tim, you must certainly know who she is?
Is that Sharon Bruneau?
Excellent use of lyrical humor that sadly, shall go unrecognized by the majority of Getbiggers, like a pair o' thighs by the dashboard light.Well, I believe we'll all agree that Heaven Can Wait (or at least it'll have to) for pics of that massive 6500-person audience!
I'd rather dazzle one than amuse 100. Woman is back at work and I'm with baby 9 hours every day. My getbig posting has been down substantially. I hope the place hasn't been suffering due to my absence.For Crying Out Loud, You know I Love You(r) humor!
wasn't the Mr Olumpus won by Sergio Olivia numerous times while competing "unopposed"?Yeah. Really sounds like those "competitions" were a serious threat to the IFBB! ::)

Bix you just got exposed. Nice try though. I'm sure everyone bought your bullshit about 6500 fans and 275 competitors.
I nominate Bix for most delusional or most full of shit.
I know this is bullshit, without having to look anything up. Bix, bodybuilding as a whole doesn't have 6,500 fans!!
wasn't the Mr Olumpus won by Sergio Olivia numerous times while competing "unopposed"?
especially that will show up in an ugly part of Maine in late august. maybe he meant 650 attended
This guy was 9th. Props.
Seriously, what sort of fag pays to go watch this stuff?
??? ??? ???
What sort of fag comes on GetBig to check these threads out ::)
WOW! The vaccum pose is back. With shape too.
Tell me, are you a schmoe or just a regular sexual deviant?
I'd say both. You?
:o :o :o

too bad he didn't stick it out in the IFBB. I think he was definitely a better bodybuilder than Arnold and he proved that on several occasions
.
Superstar Billy Graham used to compete in WBBG shows in the mid 70's.
Lurie looks really out of it.
He (http://musclememory.com/show.php?a=Graham,+Billy) entered one contest, the 1975 WBBG Pro Mr America (http://musclememory.com/show.php?c=Pro+Mr+America+-+WBBG&y=1975). Billy Graham was a pro wrestler.
Dan is 84.
I realize Dan is 84 but many, many people are still lucid at that age.
Since you weren't there, you don't know how lucid Dan is. I receive calls from Dan most every week. (I'm his web designer (http://danlurie.com).) He is quite active and has all his facilities. Here is a video (http://danlurie.com/video.php?video=jewish_hof_2007&title=2007%20Jewish%20Hall%20Of%20Fame%20Awards%20Banquet) of him accepting an award on April 29.

Then YOU brought up his age which then inferred that he was out of it due to age.
So please don't twist my words.

Yup, and every person who has a Mac or pc who purchased Go Live Cyber Studio or Dreamweaver is automatically a web designer and everybody who purchased Photoshop is automatically a graphic artist or print designer. ::)
nope, just people who get paid for it.
btw, I don't own Go Live, Cyber Studio, or Dreamweaver. I use a text editor. I also use Eclipse for php programming and now Flex (the OO programming side of Flash).
no it doesn't infer that he was out of it due to his age. it infers that he looks ok for being 84.
no twisting there
Bix may be an old fart.
But he ain't no bullshitter.
He's the originator of the Guess Who, after all.
Two of the masters competitors.......
Hahahahaha, I've been uncovered!!! :P
Here's a write up by another attendee that tells the truth about this event...

Lurie's website lists this as Ivan Putski, trained by Lurie. Isn't it Tim Belknap?

You sure? I'm pretty damn sure it's Belknap.
And aside from the fact that it looks exactly like Belknap (and the tricep and forearm muscle shapes fit him) it ALSO does not physically look like putski ever did.
