I always like watching this old school stuff, whether be 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s I like it a lot more than any of todays bodybuilding.

Great video, Arnold looked better apparently (look at 3:18 for example), I don't understand why Sergio won. Both were greats though.

I'm somewhat disappointed with this clip because in the Mentzer & Friends VHS copy I have from GMV, there's a lot more footage from the '69 Olympia that's not shown here. Anyway, still cool to watch nonetheless.  8)

spot on, I noticed that watching at norma speed but when paused Arnold really does look thick as fuck.
Sergio's arms look scrawny, no delts, no back thickness.

That's not a very fair comparison there.

Hope nobody thinks that screenshot that Hench posted is Sergio because it's NOT.

Great video.. great to see FRANCO on the stage as well beside Arnold for a few seconds.

Interestingly enough.. didn't realize Arnold used many of Sergios poses and transitions.. 90% of the posing Arnold used and transitions later in his shows was all from Sergio. :)

I'd have to see my VHS copy again and check out the competitor, but rest assure it's not Sergio.

Don't talk shite son,  Earl Maynard wasn't in the 69 Olympia. Or the Universe that same night. Arnold and Sergio were the only kunts in it. It is Sergio in that shot.

OK actually it is Rick Wayne posing against Arnold for the overall Universe held the same evening.

funny, in the comparisons, there seems to be an uneven light, one competitors gets the lightbeam from above and the other poses in subdued in shadows  :)

Hahaha! That's NOT Johnny either. The figure in question is African American. I really need to whip out that VHS copy and check it out.

OK... so I took some snapshots from the VHS copy I have that contains additional footage from the '69 Universe/Olympia event not shown in the above video I posted and here is the guy. Picture quality isn't that great, but it was the best shot I could grab showing him in the front. It's not Sergio, Johnny, or Rick. Not sure who the guy is, though.

I provided some additional snapshots from the VHS copy. One of them is where Arnold is licking his lips after kissing the girl.  ;D

Warren Frederick?

Warren Frederick?

I think you nailed it.  He won the short division of the Mr. America, which was held the same night. That's the overall winner of the Mr. America collecting his trophy with Arnold.

The guy in the twisting backshot with Arnie is Gordon Babb.

I`m positive because I remember seeing the pic in old mags back in the day.

Post by: wes on December 25, 2010, 05:06:20 PM
The other guy is most definately Warren Fredericks,and John Decola with Arnie in the other shots.

Pretty Certain it is Johnny Maldonado he Won the Pro MR America the SAME night and Came Second in the UNIVERSE, Warren Fredrick's Came 4th in the America and theres no record of Gordon Babb Competing in 1969.

No argument from me but I could have sworn that was Babb,but then again I`m getting old so...................... .
