Nasser took 2nd and was promptly DQ'd.

I think he was referring to 97.

These two pics of Charles Clairmonte and Roland Cziurlok are pretty damn impressive.

One of the best most musculars I've seen.

Charles Clairmonte was the shit.  Perfect lines and an athletic looking physique - looks functional.  I remember after his Olympia how the Flex writers had their little column criticizing the physiques.  These untrained fucks actually sat there telling pros what they needed to work on.

So the criticism on Clairmonte was that he could 'easily pack on 20-30lbs without losing symmetry.'  and guess what, the next year he shows up some 20lbs heavier andd with a gut and not as conditioned. 

Same thing with Munzer.  Guy was more ripped than a pair of underwear of an obese fuck.  Yet they critique his physique for not being as hard as 'he has been in the past.'  They literally made that guy kill himself.

Munzer looked absolutely shredded in some of the contests; and surprisingly he hadn't won more shows...

Totally agree. Clairmonte quit after 1997 and it was just being too heavy. If he was still competiting in the early 2000's he would have been winning most shows like Darrem Charles was doing, he was a better version.

Those shots are "stills" from video footage, that's why they look so crisp with contrast.

Same here - I must have watched this contest about 100 times. I remember showing it to my non-bodybuilding friends and they were utterly gobsmacked.
