On Monday, September 4th, at Venice Beach Muscle Beach in sunny Southern California, the actual plaques were unvieled right where the outside gym is located. A number of the competitors were there, including John Bailik, Bill Grant, Gene Mozee, Albert Beckles and others...
It was a pretty nice thing to see and honour...
-
Where is Steve Blechman's plaque?
Didn't the bodybulding.com guy say he was getting one for Schmoe Pioneer?
-
Didn't Romano boast that Steve Blechman was amongst the new inductees? :-X
-
Why doesn't Arnold have one?

These were the Hall of Fame inductees. Not sure how they were decided, but it has to do with something that you had to be working out at Muscle Beach or so, I would think.
The list of plaques include
John Balik
Samir Bannout
Albert Beckles
Paula Boelsems
Leroy Colbery
Cory Everson
Dave Draper
Charlie Fautz
Joe Gold
Bill Grant
Mickey Hargitay
Bill Howard
Don Howorth
Rachel McLish
Gene Mozee
Bill Pearl
Steve Reeves
Larry Scott
Glenn Sundby
Armand Tanny
Frank Zane
Joe Weider
Millard Williamson

Thats odd, I seem to recall seing Arnold at Muscle Beach in Pumping Iron. :-\
-

-

I see papa Joe Weider got his for the lifetime achievement of being the top
dog schmoe

What form do I have to sign to get Arnold on there? >:(
-
If the plaque shown is any indication (from the year 2005), I'm sure Arnold was inducted in the past. I would hope so anyway...that's not an oversight in the least.....
-
It is complete bullshit that Arnold isn't on there. He is the main reason many guys including myself started bodybuilding. He is one of the only people who still claim bodybuilding is improving (check out his interview with Chick a year or so ago).
Furthermore, he is arguably the best and most well known ambassador of any sporting activity on the planet. He brought bodybuilding to the masses and I would bet that had he not been involved, the sport would not be nearly as popular as it is now.

;D

Yes, hopefully, for next year, Arnold will be there, which will be a huge spectacle. Last time he came to Muscle Beach to honor Joe Weider, it was crazy, with mainstream media all over the place, and cops galour. With Jack LaLanne getting honoured, there still were a number of television stations covering it, including the mainstream Daily News and more.
Funny thing, one Muscle Beach show, Arnold rode on his bike to the show, and no one even noticed him.

;D
Hey GB, you spelt it wrong. Blechman gets a plaque on the Wall of Flame, not Fame.
-

Maybe his name doesn't fit on the handle.. :-\
Getbig.com should get its own 8)

So Don and Larry have plaques but Gironda doesn't? Fucking stupid.
-
Looks like it.
How tacky.
hahah yea that is tacky....typical of our yuppie selfish generation to pretend to do something old school and respectful, but really just use it for their own advertisement to make more money....
They could have put a smaller plaque somewhere off to the side sayin that the plaques were donated by bodbuiliding .com, but to put it on everyone shows that they are just in it for the money...What else is new? This industry is filled with selfish boobs.
