Wag Bennett, a major figure in British bodybuilding for over 50 years, London gym owner and friend/mentor of Arnold, passed away Wednesday Sep 17 after a long illness. His wife Dianne and children were with him. May he rest in peace.

oops. My bad. I meant September 17, 2008. Nonetheless, it's too bad. I wonder if Arnold will make any acknowledgement of Wag's passing.

Ha just about or similar

I don't think so. Hell, maybe they did, I don't know. But I do know that that theme is associated with Arnold.
-
Serge Nubret has used it before. Great piece of music. I'd imagine Wag was a fountain of knowledge regarding BBing, if his choice of music for Arnold is anything to go by.
Didn't he also help Arnold with his posing?
-
Didn't he also help Arnold with his posing?
Yes, he did. He helped Arnold to pose more "gracefully", if you will.

2007?

No....October 08' just more spin.

I wonder who he's gonna Promote in the underworld ;)

RIP Wag. A man very generous in the provision of hospitality, advice, his home and the services of his wife Diane for all visiting bodybuilders.
Haha a closet homo if there ever was one. Is this the same guy that let Arnold sleep in his bed? Or was that "another guy".

"Untimely" may be overstating it. Dude looks about 98.

They did the Toxic Waltz.

Yup. They say bad things come in three. Well, Reg Park, Dot Kawashima, and now Wag Bennett all bit the dust within a year. :(

Looks like they had the funeral for Wag recently.
