Haney should not have taken it that year. My vote was for either Ray or Christian and to all those stating that Ladrada was 5'6", RAY IS 5'6" and has 2" on Labrada. Even 5'5" Benfatto was taller than Labrada. Anyway, this is a cool posedown. They all seemed to give a shit about winning back then:
-
No way bro Haney ruled.
-
holy shit lol haney completely destroyed those midgets
-
No GH guts >:( >:(
-
Labrada was always such a cocky bastard. He didn't even deserve second here. No way he beat Sean.
-
This 2002 posedown was SICK.... I'm really impressed by both Gunther and Priest. Ronnie was WAY off that year. He should have come in 6th place:
-
Gunter dwarfs 'em all.
-
Labrada was always such a cocky bastard.
Why would you say that?
Go to 2:20:
-
Some handsome white dudes there (no homo)
-
Geez these posedowns are gay.
When I look at pics of them flexing it's cool. But these posedown videos are one step away from watching them blow each other.
-
That's Quality right there....drawn in / gaunt faces, tight Abs,
Mike Christian......his last hoorah until he defected to the Very popular and very successful WBF ;D

gunther dwarfing coleman there!! gunther had pleasing muscle-look right there, priest killing the giants and holding his own, a little biased report from me, but the 2 arians (mini-arian priest) should have came in the 1 and 2 spots!!
-
Ronnie is light years ahead of the rest. 6th place ::)

Labrada is like 5'2-5'3, max of 5'4. If Shawn is really 5'6 instead of 5'7.

Cool vid man. Thanks.
Shawn's 'hair' adds to inches to his height though. :P

No doubt reminds me of House Party.

Clearly you're shit scared of your own gay thoughts. Not a good way to be. Relax buddy, be at peace with yourself.

ray had the best leg development hands down, benfatto looked like a middleweight, very thin legs.
gaspari was best conditioned, and had alot more size and proportion than lebrada did, not sure what that was about?
and haney well he had them al beat from the waist up by a mile
and he could pull a vaccume
the last mr olympia that ever likely will

Not really, you can clearly see that the top of Ray's forehead and shoulders are higher than Labrada by a couple inches.
-
Funny to see Blechman's different looks throughout the years.
-
Why would you say that?
Go to 2:20:
Met him a couple of times. Once back stage at a show in 1992 ? he was guest posing and I was back stage. He was very arrogant wouldn't really talk to anyone. I was shocked especially because of how well he presents himself on stage. He's obviously built great, but he's VERY tiny. You can kind of see how he really is when he gets second place in this vid. He just walks away and never even congratulates Haney. He was actually pretty smooth in 90 especially in the back area and even had a coupe of skin folds. He was lucky to get second that year, but he obviously thoght he should have won.
-
Haney=all torso

I agree, everyone talks about how Labrada got ripped off that year and he was leading Haney going into the night show but I don't see it. I thought he looked awesome in '89 and even '88 but he was too soft in '90. Maybe he thought it was his TIME to win. Ray and Christian looked great in that contest and Haney still had a great upper body but his legs were down in size.
-
"flea labrada" lol

I enjoyed that, thanks for posting it
-
The 1990 O was drug tested, most if not all of the competitors were visibly smaller with the exception of Mike Christian. Rumor was Christian had a special drink to fool the test. I was at the show and Haney was the best, but not by much.
-
Lee Haney=all torso (chest and back)
-
Labrada was a great bber
Ray had the best package there, but difficult to unseat a 6 time mr o, even if he is a tad off. Also, Ray had just been stripped of the Arnold for testing positive, and giving him the mr o title in a tested show in the wake of that, was not in the ifbb/weiders master plan for a clean image...
Benfatto was great, just not big enough to hang with the big boys, Gaspari had lost his sharpness and shape. Christian no lower body.

Haney didn't have a lower body either and truthfully, I think Christian's upper torso looked more powerful than Haney's that year. He was also 6'1" and had even more room to fill out.
-
Once again, Haney=all torso :>
-

Haneys torso overpowered everything, and he was off his best shape, softer, smaller, and as you said, legs not up to par.
Christians upper body was maybe better than Haneys, and he had good delts and arms to boot, but the fact that Haneys small legs were bigger than Mike's, made it even more evident, he was all upper body.
Shawn Ray was the best. Labrada was riding the 89 wave, he was my favourite, but Ray the best that day. Gaspari was finished in 88.
But, the fact that a massive and conditioned (compared to Labrada, Ray, Gaspari) Yates could not displace Haney either the following year, what hope did anyone have that year? Areigning Mr O comes in with an advantage.

great points all,,,ray looked great there full and pretty damn hard considering drug tested?lol...labrada looked small even next ray ,but labrada looked good,ray should have been 2nd he was only pro 3yrs there wow,,,christian never had good legs and he hated as noted to train offseason so he never was going to have good legs for that reason.gaspari had 3 great runs as 2nd place from 89 thru 92 was just falling back and back,couldn't get that hardness he was noted for.being from jersey there was always rumors about heart attacks,how much he took ect,richie was pretty good for those early yrs.

true, Ray was still a new, very young pro, less than 3 yrs! 2 1/2 ;D
Mike Christian was lazy, and did too much rec drugs. This guy had the most potential out of all of them.
Gaspari was such an inspiration, a real hardgainer overcompensating. The bbing Rocky, LOL. Im sure Rich did a lot of a lot. Very intense all or nothing guy.
-
What kept bothering me was that Haney kept hitting that same side chest shot over and over again during the posedown. It's as if he knew that was the ONLY shot that he looked somewhat decent in that competition. He had nothing else in his arsenal.
I think Gaspari was better than Labrada that year. Labrada really was TOO small. Even 5'5" Benfatto was taller and larger than him.
Again, I think it probably should have gone like this:
1. Mike Christian - 6'1"
2. Shawn Ray - 5'6"
3. Francis Benfatto - 5'5"
4. Rich Gaspari - 5'8"
5. Lee Haney - 5'11"
6. Lee Labrada (interchangeable with Haney) - 5'4"
-
Lee vs.. Lee 8)
-
1. Labrada or Ray
2. Labrada or Ray
3. Francis Benfatto
4. Haney
5. Christian
6. Gaspari

Wow, Haney's back was REALLY piss poor in 1990..
As for Gaspari's gyno that year, well, the judges seemed to overlook it in 1981 and 1998.
-
Lee Haney crushed all those punks.

1. Francis Benfatto
2. Ray
3. Haney

gaspari body looked worn ,conditioning was going downhill by then,his legs there look way down,he had sick legs 84 to 89.i saw some pics tho from a mag fom 95 a comeback yr he took 5th in the n.o.c and was close to his 80's look.the thing u see in the lee and lee L relaxed pose is how there upper pec and delts were less full there which by and large is some of the fuller bodyparts you see on a user esp in shape.

COULD being the operative word, but not on THAT day son. That being said, he won, but we know how that goes sometimes, don't we? ;).
