Eddie is one of the # 1 guys on my list that should have won more shows with the IFBB & was shafted after defecting to the WBF
-
He looks insane there, except for the homoerotic posing obviously.

Jacksonville PAL Bench Press Championship, 200lbs class - 575lbs BenchFucking A!
NPC Junior Teen Nationals, Heavyweight - 1st Overall
Florida State Body Building Championship - 2nd
Jacksonville PAL March of Dimes Bench Press - 1st Overall
Top Bench was 515lbs, so Eddie opened with 515lbs and did 8 reps, 1 for each disabled child at the show
Florida State Bench Press Rick Poston, 220lbs. class - 610lbs Bench
New world record in 220 lb. class (Teenage and Men's Open)
My career took off like a rocket in 1986 when I took a world record in the bench press at 5'8 and 220 pounds; I had pressed 575 and 610 pounds ranking me number one in the world. At that time I had channelled my strength to pursue a career in bodybuilding. Winning the Mr. Florida, Mr. America, and Mr. USA titles gave me professional recognition as one of the greatest pro bodybuilders and powerlifters in the world.

PLease....what he was given was a nice 2 year contract making ore money in those 2 years than he most likely would have made in 10 in the IFBB....He made the right choice.

Eddie was contracted for more than the 2 years of the WBF.
Eddie stayed on his contract AFTER the WBF folded as the ICO/PRO supplement spokesperson.
Eddie made more in 2 years with the WBF than Jay Cutler has made from ALL of his IFBB winnings.

Well, financially I can see your point.
Competitively...he was screwed.
The name of the game is getting paid....so I guess he came out on top. I still would have like to see what his full potential could have been.

"competitively" he screwed himself by never coming in top shape....we all would've liked to seen Eddie reach his true potential.

Milos, Did you see this? ;D
-
Eddie was a big guy for sure and incredibly thick and impressive in a shape sense but he had no cuts or detail whatsoever - he used to hold so much water - I don't understand why people are saying he should have won more shows.
-
Is Eddie Robinson still training? Very strong guy... I think that Robinson and Coleman are the strongest bbers ever...
-
WBF was the Federation for The best of the rest...Anyone of hose
-
The WBF was the Federation for The best of the rest...Anyone of those Guys would look nothing on an IFBB stage!!!!!!They do Look good for second level Bodybuilders..Even Strydom would struggle to make top 3 at any Big IFBB Show...Only sad thing was that a lot Bodubuilders with Personality left the IFBB.Christian,De Mey Mike Quinn Padila etc.

Here, let me translate:
170cm /2.54= 66.9 /12= 5' feet 5.7'' inches............ or just a tad under 5'6-
Im calling bullshit-he is taller.

Eddie is about 5'9

Strange! Every magazine and TV show I've seen that featured "Major Guns" had him listed at 5'7".

eddie was a tank, plain and simple he was built for this kinda stuff, just a huge guy. prolly could have been one of the top guys in the sport going into the 90's but he blew it at the 90 NOC and then went to the WBF...to bad cause he was a machine.
-
bullshit.
Ask him. He knows me very very well. Have i lied to you once?
-

Well If you meet Eddie, Ask him about his guest posing in Osaka.
And also ask about his translator. It was me.

Don't cry for Eddie. He won his first pro show and placed top 10 at the 1990 Mr. Olympia. Then, he went to the WBF and did well there. When the company went south, Eddie was retained to endorse ICOPRO supplements for an extra 2 years.
"Major Guns" claimed it was one of the smartest decisions he ever made, financially, as he made more money in one year with WBF than he would have in 4 years with the IFBB.
