Hopefully he won't compete.  Why risk looking like shit and ruining his legendary name?

Somewhere in a parallel universe, Dorian Yates and Ronnie Coleman are arguing over who 'owns' the best, Hulkster or ND

I think the best thing Ronnie could hope for would be to enter a show with a relatively weaker lineup like the upcoming Europa, compete in it and win it, and retire on top in the sense that his last show was a pro show win.  I think it is quite possible he could win a pro show if none of the top 3-5 from the Olympia compete in it.  He is still easily top 10 in the world.

See: Vince Taylor in 2006 and 2007 to prove high placings can still be had at an advanced age.

but this won't prove anything or make any difference.. after winning 8 olympias who cares if he wins a much smaller contest over 2nd level pros!!.. 

most of ronnie’s fans don’t want him to compete again, I too believe it’s better for him not to compete again.. if he was injury free I am sure he would still be able to win the Olympia even at his age but the problem is he has more than one clear injured part!!.. if he does it and compete again I hope he presents a decent shape or else everybody will feel bad for him..

taylor is a different case, Yes he is great but never won any Olympia so he can do whatever he wants to please himself and his fans ss long as he can present a decent shape for his age..

haha, maybe, but guaranteed they will use some particulars from the article in their ongoing debates as there was some new insight, like Ronnie saying his best performance was at the 98 Olympia (like ND would argue, while Hulkster would argue 99), and he didn't explicitly admit that he feels he would beat Dorian Yates at his best, but he did imply it one response by saying he (Ronnie) took it to another era,  but was also modest in saying that he feels he would have had to have beaten Dorian during his era to be fair.

what you can't see is Nasser is poking pins into a Dorian voodoo doll as Yates is being interviewed, surrounded by gorgeous fitness models and fans, following another clear cut victory over the filthy mongrel Nasser.

Title: Hulkster! Did you read what Ronnie said in his recent interview?!
Post by: bigbobs on April 14, 2009, 08:46:36 AM
He said that the 98 Mr. Olympia was by far his best performance.  How do you feel about this?

With all due respect, did anyone else notice how hard it is to get words out of Ronnie?  Most of his answers were not much longer than the questions being asked lol.  One of them was simply, "Yep" lol

I think that is just the way he is. I don't believe that he's dumb or anything, he just a laid back dude.

that's because he is an 8 time mr O

Losers like Nasser tend to have a long-winded tale of woe

Yeah that makes sense  ::)  So when one starts to win Mr. Olympia titles they lose all personality and ability to converse?  Looks like logic wasn't your major ;)

He's known to be quiet and difficult to converse with, that's a fact.

When he came to my city, the promoter later complained that on the 45 minute drive from the airport to the supplement store the man barely spoke at all.  He even told the promoter immediately after he got picked up that he'd rather not talk on the drive.

When people were getting photos signed he rarely said anything other than, "yep!" "haha" "oh yeah" etc.

that's because he is using his mental energy to grow, he has no time for meaningless banter

whereas Nasser the mongrel  was too busy worrying about everyone else because of his shitty back.

There is not much time to say more. Every signing session, Ronnie's booth is the most crowded and rarely he leaves the building until everybody got their autograph or picture. If you are trying to say that Ronnie is not nice to his fans you are totally off.
I know that you have been to Nasser's house but Ronnie opens his house every year for 25 people during his workout weekend.

I didn't say he's a mean guy, just difficult to converse with.  A man of few words.

How long ago was this interview actually done?

From reading it it sounds like it's a couple months old, pre-Arnold and pre ronnies O statement to Dobson.

"So you have packed on close to 100 pounds of muscle during your pro career?"

Ronnie "Yes, but there was a lot of hard training though".


I think Saying just YES would do.

Only Markus Rull and Ronnie have added 100 plus pounds of muscle based on heavy ass training and eating out!

Woooosshhhhhhhhh !!!
