Did you see Frank Zane storm off!


The camera focused very heavily on Franco, unless they had two camera's filming and chose that one because he did win, it doesn't help the bullshit bias.

Very good find. I would say the choice wasn't a disaster but it wasn't the best one either.

I think that was Danny Padilla...not Frank Zane.

It was. Danny wanted nothing to do with that bullshit outcome. Homeboy was like, "Fuck this." and stormed off.

Are you kidding me?

OK. The first callout was Danny Padilla, Roy Calendar, and Franco Columbu.
      The second callout was Danny Padilla, Jusup Wilcosz, and Tom Platz.

Chris Dickerson wasn't in the first two callouts, yet he places second? Roy Calendar was in the first callout, yet he places fourth? C'mon. Gimme a break! That alone tells you this was politics at its best. I most certainly would call this a disaster!

Wow, so I guess you've never seen an actualy picture of Franco next to anyone else in the Top 5...

Worst Olympia call EVER.

True. But when your best friend is also the promoter of the show you're not expecting to lose.

ND posted a great gyno shot of Franco in that comp - it's hanging, dangling , jiggling ...Amazing glandular things going on with the fake Doctor.

I'd like to see today's bodybuilders try to pose to that sort of music.

Yeah. I'm sure Arnold being the promoter had SOMETHING to do with Franco's win. His victory was just ridiculous. People talk about Arnold's 1980 Olympia win as a joke, but the '81 Olympia was more so.

Not mant people have had a drape like Francos back. The seperation in his chest is sick. I'm a happy go lucky guy. Think the jumping for joy was funny. Do I think he won? I was in third grade I could give a sh%t.
