Title: Shawn Ray: The uncrowned Mr. Olympia!
Post by: King Shizzo on June 04, 2011, 08:03:37 AM
  Shawn Ray is my favorite bodybuilder of all time.  Many would agree that he should have won at least one, if not more Olympias.  I remember actually believing that I could get as big as him by eating peanut-butter, honey, and bananna sandwiches like he used to say in Flex  ;D  He is what bodybuilding was, and should still be about:  Size, symmetry, and conditioning.  Who is your favorite bodybuilder?  Please include a decent photo.  You can only pick one  8)

shawn could make an easy 100k if he went back into the gym for the FL show.

i'd take phils 5'9" physique over shawn's 5'5" physique any day.  remember phil can still dunk a basketball and shawn needs a chair to reach the top of the refig.  like him or not, phil aint that bad and is still put together better than jay and kai, except for the width

now, shaw is still my favorite playboy bber.

Don't get me wrong, Phil is one of the best pros of today, that isn't saying much.   He seems like a good guy but in that pic posted above it looks like he went to the sporting goods dept., and put an air pump to his delts' chest and arms.  Michelin tires should sponser him!

I have quite a few fav's ( really depends on the era ). If I had a gun to my head, I'd have to go with a well conditioned Zack Khan. Thick, dense muscle. NO weaknesses. I've always been a fan of the mass monsters.

Onstage by himself Shawn looked unbeatable. Put him in a lineup and he seemd to fade away. Just too short and narrow for many of the other Pro's of his era.

people get too caught up on how "big" someone is.  Sure paul dillet' or nasser would dwarf sean ray on stage, that doesn't mean they are more complete, or are better bodybuilders.

Shawn was one of the most well coditioned Pro's of all time, and I'm also a fan. But, being at several of his shows and seeing him compete, he just didn't have the size or heigth to win to Mr O againt the best of his era. The was one year where Shawn was going to do a few other shows than the O, he still didn't dominate.

actually I think Shawn should have won one or two Olympias as well, but I think he was his own worst enemy and wasn't well liked by the judges...I think people did not like Shawn because they were jealous of his big contract with Weider and because he used to be so vain about himself...

I was at the 2001 Olympia in Vegas and at the athletes press conference, Shawn got into a argument with one of the judges of the show because he felt his physique wasn't getting its due.....she proceeded to tell Shawn that "your physique is the same...it hasn't changed in years"..this led to Shawn saying "see?..I told you that the judges are biased against me! she's already judged me before the show has even started."

that judge was then removed from the panel..Shawn came in fourth in the Olympia but should have been third behind Ronnie and Jay from what I saw....This led Shawn to resent bodybuilding and to retire since he felt he should have been second due to Jay testing positive for diuretics which was banned at the time and he felt that Jay was supposed to be disqualified because of the ban...but Jay threatened to sue and was allowed to keep his second place placing which robbed Shawn of the second place finish and the bigger prize money

I normally don't get into the "uncrowned" routine. But, if there's one Olympia where I believe Ray got robbed, it's 1994. NO WAY, he should have lost to a water-logged, one-armed, wide-wasted Yates.

S.

Shawn had all those attributes in spades!!! It is a crying shame that man never won an Olympia title......The Sandow should have been his on a few occasions.

I don't see that from that pic.  Plus I said from his prime, I know he used all that shit later in his career.  My point was that guys like Levrone, and Flex had mass, but also retained thier shape.  Yates was huge but blocky, just like Jay is today.

Shawn was a Great BBer back in the day, however like the rest of the Top Level Competition back then, The advantages Yates STILL had on the Competition (even while holding a little water retention and the Newly Torned Bicep in 1994) are More dramatic watching the DVD than seeing a bunch of Pictures.

The broad was Deshay that said that during the 01 Mr. O.  I was there.  She was a known judge in San Antonio, TX.  I was stationed there...She was a c.u.n.t. and put her foot in mouth then a couple weeks later she was dead...Shawn is easily a top 5 guy. One thing he had that others didn't was looks...He was probably the most marketable black bodybuilder ever.

yes I agree with you on this..and I think him being good-looking along with his ego and out-spokeness is the reason he never won...Shawn would beat everyone today including the refrigerator

people get too caught up on how "big" someone is.  Sure paul dillet' or nasser would dwarf sean ray on stage, that doesn't mean they are more complete, or are better bodybuilders.

Lee Labrada could have been just a little taller. Being so short almost makes them look like midgets, especially with 4 x 4 heads.
