He should have placed 4rd in that contest, right behind Ronnie, Flex and Chris.

He looks less oily there too...Duke Nukeum should have been 3rd no problem.

I said it once but got hammered :)

He looks totally different in the face there. He looks much older than he did at say 32. I always wondered why that was.

This was his rookie year as a pro and he just went downfall ever since. Must suck to train for ten years and only get worse. It must be all the synthol+gh+insulin that bloated his physique out.

1   Ronnie Coleman
 
2   Ken Wheeler (Flex)
 
3   Chris Cormier
 
4   Kevin Levrone
 
5   Shawn Ray
 
6   Nasser El Sonbaty
 
7   Paul Dillett
 
8   Lee Priest
 
9   Dexter Jackson
 
10   Milos Sarcev
 
11   Mike Matarazzo
 
12   Markus Rühl
 
13   Ernie Taylor
 
14   Pavol Jablonicky
 
15   Jay Cutler
 
16   Jean Pierre Fux

Wacky that he only placed 12:th here with that shape, and 5:th a few years later looking like puke compared to this. Cutler was also in one of his alltime greatest condition at 99 Olympia and he was next to dead last.

That was one of the best Mr. O's ........................ ...  Always a Ruhl fan, i like him as a person more than a BB.

Veru true, look at top ten. All the best guys in the same contest. Ronny looked awesome here too. Matarazzo and Ernie "lameashelltris" Taylor got some real gifts though. Quite funny they have beaten Cutler.

Wow, even his back was  shredded back then. Hardly ever achieved that type of conditioning again, from the rear most of the time he was only in Guestposing-shape for contests lol.

I said it once but got hammered :)

He looks totally different in the face there. He looks much older than he did at say 32. I always wondered why that was.

Must be the haircut (+ the Anti-aging benefits of long-term GH therapy).
