Title: What has happened to the Olympia?
Post by: oldman on September 28, 2008, 06:56:28 PM
In the old days, Mr Olympia was the man, untouchable, you were just simply amazed by him.  Sergio, Arnold, Larry...you could never achieve what they were.  If you dared to get onstage, you would be crushed.
Nowadays, they let anyone on the stage, used to be for the elite.
Is Dex untouchable, hell no.  He will be beat in the next contest he enters...they shoulda just gave it to Heath, someone needs to come out of the shadows and take the title.

I think that you are taking this too serous..consider that the top handball players make more than the top bodybuilders.

It goes in cycles. Just like in major sports, some years are blah.
