i remeber hearing dorian threw shawns food from the table at the firehouse can someone confirm this and he called flex out back stage at the 96 olympia.
-
His competition... Why not get in their heads and fuck with them? Especially a mental weakling like flex.
-
damn flex would have gotten his ass kicked and said he was attacked by ninjas.
-
Dorian came from lower social class so that's not so surprising.
Not mentioning he came from a country rated as the worst place to live in Europe :-\

I'm sorry, but why exactly would Dorian resort to throwing Shawn's food from a table?
What in the world would make these gentle giants resort to any violence?
I can understand if these guys were professional fighters, but they are fucking bodybuilders as in "professional pageant contestants" that parade on a stage wearing nothing but a thong in the hopes of winning a plastic trophy...
Come on!

They had a beef arguing over beef, shawn was saying that Top sirloin steak has the least amount of fats and its the best part of the beef for a bodybuilder and dorian said no its best to have some fat on your beef and eat some filet mignon, flex told him he is full of shit and dorian got pissed and threw shawn beef from the table.

Men in thongs, it's serious business!
I think the OP has the story wrong, I believe it was CC who threw Lee Priest's food out...or Flex who threw Shawn's food out...remember Dorian didn't stay the West coast, he stayed strictly in England, unless he was guest posing.

Yeah I never heard that story either , that was one of Arnold's criticisms about Dorian is he always took off back to the UK after he won.

Yes, it was a Lee Priest and Cormier squabble, I forget what it was about though.

I remember Cormier doing that to Lee Priest (threw his plate in Firehouse).

Smaller guys usually run their mouths ( ;D )
I think Lee P was running his mouth, or was accused of running his mouth.

Lee is pretty mouthy and Chris seems like he'd like to bully ppl. Much more believable than Dorian throwing Shawn's food
-
Wasn't Dorian knocked down at some fitness expo a few years ago ?
-
Dorian held that the universe was heliocentric while Flex and Shaun were staunch geocentrists. I heard from Jim Quinn that they almost came to blows over the issue at the 1994 Olympia Athlete's Meeting.
-

He's shown up with a black eye once or twice. One of them was attributed to owing money to some heavyweight european MMA fighter/kickboxer, but that might just be a rumor, he does train muay thai, and has a black spouse.
-
Jesus CC would beat Lee Priest into a pulp LoL.
-
Shawn is a great athlete spokesman of the sport of bodybuilding and i hope to meet him one day.
-
shawn is a mouth running little arrogant midget in yates' eyes.
flex came up with the ninja BS in the heat of battle vs yates.
shawn and flex are best buddies.
combo of disgust for yates
tattoos, slums, whores and drugs = yates and cormier were meant for each other.
as crazy as the vid is, you can see yates is enjoying himself with chris. i'm guessing if this was shawn or flex yates would have walked out the gym cursing
-

I don't think any of that is true somehow - Flex and Dorian were good friends offstage and Dorian frequently used to state in interviews that of all the pros he used to hang out with when he came to the States, Flex was the one he could relate to the most.
As for Shawn, they were never close but they never had any scraps - Shawn was always running his mouth but it never went anywhere.
-
im sure i read somewhere and if i remember correctly i thought craig titus mentioned this(dorian throwing shawns food around the firehouse). i also remember hearing nasser was beefing with flex and called him out. i think that came from flexes mouth in an older issue of md!

That's what Flex thinks of Nasser

The rumor I heard was a promotor hired Yates for seminor or something and Yates charged in the thousand as a formor Mr. O, but the service he gave was very minimal so the promotor wanted his money back, anyway turns out the promotor had a good friend in the heavyweight fighting bus. and came from behind and suckered punched Dorian and Yates hits the floor and afew of Yates people chased him him but he was gone
-
none of these cats would have ever messed with yates,this is all too funny!
-
Plain and simple: Dorian pissed off a lot of Pro Bodybuilders just by being born.
They thought they knew it all. They thought they had the work ethic and the epitome of the culture... then Dorian showed up and raised the bar.
They just couldn't handle it and tried everything in their power to rationalize their losses to him.

Yes and he did it with class in his stoic fashion, most humble bodybuilder ever.
-
hey ND is it safe to say dorian would be able to beat the shit out of ronnie coleman or nasser? ;D
-
Shawn Ray is the biggest baby ever. jelly of King Yates. manlet could never beat yates so he just trash talks.
-
i heard yates tore his bicep throwing shawn ray thru a sliding door is this true ND? ;D

;)
-
Whats dorians beef with Flex and shawn?
Given what Shawn said about Dorian over the years, it's surprising Dorian never decked him.

dorian was always pissed because shawn looked 10x better than him at the 94 olympia
shawn was always pissed because the shitty judging awarded dorian the title anyway..

I was 12 years old in 94 and never ever seen a bodybuilder or ever picked up a magazine or anything, infact I thought Arnold was the biggest in the world ;D... anyway, I was flicking through the channels one day and boom the 94 Mr. Olympia contest, right at the posedown and I was like WTF, these guys were massive but what I never could get over and I remember clear as day before they called any placings, I said "that white guy with the funny hair is going to win" and what stood out most was that he had different skin then everyone else, that's what I was thinking, but now I realized that it was because he was the driest,. but it wasn't even close, I swear

Exactly, plus Flex is THE dumbest bb ever, from everything he says and "writes" to the stories about ninjas to his current awful looking synthol arms.
Shawn was an arrogant guy who only had the aesthetic thing going for him and after he stopped competing he sure helped DEA, so class act all the way!

Dorian won the 94' Olympia for all rounds(muscularity and symmetry) and even the posing round. When Dorian and Shawn were compared in the callouts during the muscularity round, Dorian won according to all 12 judges. It wasn't even close.

Sucky laying the smack down like Dorian did to Shawn ;D
-
always hearing about how dorian was off in 94,i have both the 93 and 94 olympia videos and except for the torn bicep i see nothing but improvement from 93,his waist was a tiny bit bigger,but he also had wider lats,broader shoulders,making the differential negligableand he was just as hard if not drier.bottom line dorian dominated in 94.
-
King Yates dominated. No one was even close 8)
-
Sucky laying the smack down like Dorian did to Shawn ;D
I could post the judges' scorecards, but it would be too much effort. The bottom line is that a professional bodybuilding round is divided into four rounds(muscularity, symmetry, posedown and free posing) and Dorian won 3 of those with straight-firsts scores from all 12 judges - with an average of about 30 years of judging experience each - and only "lost" according to 4 of 12 judges on the posedown...to Kevin Levrone. But even then he still won since two thirds of judges gave it to him. Shawn didn't beat Dorian at any rounds according to no judges.

On Shawn Ray's Final Countdown vid (which I recently threw out), Shawn gave props to Ronnie, he said he was the most improved bber, but thar he deserved to win.

he also retired, knowing he couldn't beat ronnie. i'd say by the recent Olympia standards he would have been awarded the O in 96 when Yates was all bloat and no bicep.

He recently said one of the best physiques he ever seen was Ronnie 1998 sans gyno , Shawn says a lot , he said he was gonna beat Haney bitched about his size , same with Dorian , same with Ronnie , he wanted the sport to bend to his type of physique even went so far as to try and have the judges rotated like they were gonna forget he's severely lacking in muscular bulk ::)
-
i am and always have been a yates fan first,but recently came to the conclusion that at their best condition ronnie was slightly better than dorian,but herein lies the argument of all the ronnie vs. dorian threads that would make dorian the better competitive bodybuilder,dorians won-loss record,once he became mr.olympia dorian never lost again and according to judges scorecards dominated in all his victories,ronnie had some close calls in some of his wins i.e.2001 against cutler he was behind going into nite show and then after his reign lost to jay at the o. and subsequent granprixs and got 4th the next year,anyhow physique wise at their best i would give a slight edge to ronnie.

Yates wasn't really bloated in 96 he was some what flat , but Shawn did say he deserved to beat Dorian in 94 and 96
The coverage from the 98 Olympia he said Ronnie shouldn't have won because he has a lot of flaws you can't find on him and Flex , said they should have an award for the most improved bodybuilder but the Mr Olympia titles shouldn't be it , that's Shawn if he was born much earlier he would have won but he wasn't beating Haney , Dorian or Ronnie , he might have beaten Jay

This is a complete impossibility. This is not a matter of opinion. I would much rather look like francis Benfatto than Dorian, but the bottom line is that Dorian would win. If you base Dorian vs Ronnie on the I.F.B.B's Men Judging Criteria, then Dorian wins almost certainly. Now, opinions are like assholes....

Their best conditions? Ronnie 1998 just barely beat a good Flex by just 3 points , Dorian in 1993 destroyed a near perfect Flex it was NO contest , like Samir said Dorian placed 1st , 2nd and 3rd !
That alone shows Ronnie at his best ( 1998 Mr Olympia which head said was his best on at least 3 occasions and many others ) couldn't handle Dorian

I think that they should have had the judges rotated...
Both he and Flex had stated that there were competitors that never were compared to the top guys, never got callouts (like Charles Chairmonte, Roland Cziurlock, Patrick Lynn, among others) that could have done well, but the judges were focused on names.
-
right a 1998 ronnie would not have beat yates its the supersized ronnie,the first year he supersized that would have taken yates,people that say 98 was ronnies best year just say that cause he was smaller that year which for some is easier to digest,even in 99 he was better than 98,ronnie like yates was better when they were bigger cause they always stayed just as conditioned,remember i am a yates fan like him a lot more than i did ronnie,but ronnie at his most dominant form= slightly better than yates
-
1999 is the perfect Ronnie not 1998.
1999 is the perfect size that can still destroy any competitor today. His conditioning was excellent at that show as well.
2001 Arnold was also perfect size and conditioning.
2003 was the unheard of size but his conditioning was not his best.
1999 Ronnie > anything today.
back to Dorian... Dorian is the best.

Dorian wasn't a name in 91 , Ronnie wasn't a ' name ' in 98 , Jay wasn't a name in 01 , etc I get the point about some guys not getting compared but do we really need to see a Claude Groulx compared to Ronnie in 1998? it's a time management issue , prejudging would be 12 hours long if that were the case , I get that some guys can get overlooked like Roland did in 94 but you can't compare everyone to everyone.
The judges who preside over the Olympia are picked for their experience , neutrality and consistency , they are on another level than amateur judges and even judges of smaller professional shows , Shawn wanted to try his luck with someone else and it wouldn't have worked anyway , he bitched about the Olympia judges and when he dared to venture out into another smaller show the same thing happened he rarely won for a reason , the judging wasn't the problem his inability to look realistically what where he stood
You could argue his type of physique should win the Olympia , it's more indicative to aesthetic ideals , it's more representative of what direction bodybuilder should be , etc , but the judges have a criteria and they go by that and according to that he shouldn't have ever beaten , Haney , Yates or Coleman.
Shawn did great for himself and had a fantastic physique but it wasn't gonna happen just like Nasser

1999 wasn't his best , Ronnie himself ( among many others ) say 1998 Olympia was his best for the simple reason he was lacking nothing , compared to 99 his conditioning was lacking which is why 98 and 01 are lauded as his best showings , and 1998 and 2001 he weighed almost exactly the same 249lbs and 247lbs respectively , 1999 he was heavier ( 257lbs ) but noticeably not as hard or dry ( but good enough to wipe the floor with Flex )
-
also in 98 only reason the contest was close was the judges werent scoring ronnie as high in the early comparisons and ronnie had to make up lost ground.i was at this show in newyork and i dont think they even had ronnie in first callout,just because he wasnt a fav.

ok i don't want to start a 100 page thread but this is only the case because Ronnie was overlooked that first round. He wasn't expected to look so good so they didn't notice him until the second round. It's not like he changed between rounds.
-
synthol wheeler sucks. dorian destroyed him in 1993 when he looked his best.
then he went texaco thinking he could beat Ronnie in 1998.
dude has mental issues now.

Overlooked? I don't think so he wasn't called out in the first comparison but he was in the second in the symmetry round , in the muscularity round he was called out in the first round , the scoring discrepancy may be due the fact he had gyno , but either way the picked the rightful winner

Ronnie's scores 17 5 5 5
Flex 5 10 10 10
Ronnie actually came third in the 1st round. Nasser beat him. I remember reading the MM review by Johnny Fitness who said Ronnie's oil was not on right in the first round. Point is, once they noticed him, he was straight firsts over Flex.

It was the car accident that broke Wheeler...no car accident, he'd prolly be 5 time AC winner and might have one Mr. O...it's a blessing in disguise for him. As he was already having kidney issues back in 93...that accident probably delayed a lot of things. Cleaned out his system.

If he improved from his 93 Olympia showing in 94 and Yates came in the way he did Flex could have beat him in my opinion.

ha, lmao... you mean once they got together as a group and the few that had him in first in the first round influence the others to put him in first, even though he deserved first from the get go, he still fell victim to politics in the first round, but Yates on the other hand was always immune to politics cause he was always a mile ahead of the field. All Ronnies Olympia's are a 2 person show and all Yates are Yates then everyone else.
-
that was my point exactly,yates dominated all the olympias he won,ronnie did not.i still feel and this is something that i just recently changed my mind about,that ronnies best shape ever was a bit better than dorians best ever shape.

Somebody post the screen cap from the '96 Olympia where Dorian is making Shawn look like a little boy in the standing relaxed.
-
Flex was probably the most disrespectful and conceited BB of all time...1993 NPC and Arnold everyone was like ..HE IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!!.. then when it didnt work out he felt 'cheated' nevermind the fact that he put on more lbs than his frame can carry and shot himself up with quarts of castrol...the he looked good at 220 ...

i love people who put ronnie's biceps in the same sentence with oil, think ronnie was too proud of his work ethic for that BS. but check flex's arms. anyway, phil's arm overall are better than ronnie, but ronnie's split bicep peak is in another world. overall, ronnie cleans his ass with phil, and phil is narrow enough to fit in.
that's not the biggest ronnie and he overshadows flex who is bigger than phil.

crazy thing is ronnie was just showing up at shows, paying his way, just trying to get a placing and guys were telling him to call it a day, focus on his day job. look at the 96 videos at dailymotion. i'm not sure ronnie didn't beat yates that day, esp from the back.

not even close , Ronnie was sixth and Dorian was first this is from the same contest.

hey hulkster how cum dorianhas a better left bicep peak than ronnie ;D
-
Dorian was much better than Ronnie in 1996 and 1997. But you could see Ronnie was creeping up the ranks fast.
-
Ronnie 1996 really started coming into his own , in some aspects his physique looked better than in later years
-
dorian had better arms ;)

Anyone remember Ronnie in the Battle for the O in 1997? He was practicing posing with Dianna Dennis. Pretty sure he was the first one on the tape (lol, tape) He looked crazy. He must have stuffed up last minute.

Shawn never improved for the Olympia year after year, his biggest selling points were his shape and conditioning which could only carry him so far. He himself said right after the 94 Olympia that he felt he deserved his placing.
After the 94 Olympia people began talking about Dorian's torn biceps and it was then that Shawn started the whole, "I should've beat him" BS. Dorian raped him when it came to size, muscularity and even dryness. Shawn was narrow, his lat spread poses weren't that impressive and he didn't come close to beating Dorian any of the times they competed.
Only person who came close to beating Dorian during his reign was Nasser in the 97 Olympia, but he too got beat fair and square in the end.
