Title: It wasn't Arnold's idea to compete in the 1980 Mr. Olympia!
Post by: Pollux on November 13, 2009, 04:50:48 AM
It was Franco! According to the book Muscle Wars, Franco had told Arnold he should compete just for the helluva it. Arnold refused. But with many voices joining Franco's, Arnold woke up one morning and decided to do it. Of course Maria was not pleased, but knowing she couldn't change her boyfriend's mind, she gave her total support.
