1981 WABBA Pro World Cup

1     Sergio Oliva
2     Serge Nubret
3     Robby Robinson
4     Ahmet Enünlü
5     Dave Johns
6     Kalman Szkalak

http://musclememory.com/show.php?c=Pro+World+Cup+-+WABBA&y=1981

all these guys had been "banned for life" by Joe Weider for some offense or another, so they all got together for Nubret's WABBA contest


So Weider had his own contest by the same name

1981 IFBB Professional World Cup

1     Boyer Coe
2     Chris Dickerson
3     Bronston Austin
4     Johnny Fuller
5     Dennis Tinerino
6     Albert Beckles

and Bronston was and always remained an amateur.  gave back the prize money to the AAU I think to retain his status. and pretty much faded away after the contest.

Robby the best in that pic.

Szkalak.. Didn't realise he was such a large man
Dwarfs the others for muscle mass.

Sergio looks to heavy, to smooth, & stood next to
Robby his V taper is not great & waist to heavy.

Any one have the honour of being at that show.

Szkalaks upper body was insane. His lower body was lagging and he never brought it up. He liked to blame politics for his low placings but his legs were weak.

Preface this by saying none of those guys have giant guts, etc. but still amazing how nubret nearly matches them all in arm size yet still has a very small waist.
