There have been lots of BB that were soooo close or even should have been Mr O.
I start with,,,,,,Rich Gaspari.
Genetically poor, he stated that he literally would have died to be Mr O....I believe him.

GASPARI looked good in 87-88, but burned himself out (including a pec ter) and it was a slow decline to this:

These non talented guys often have a will out of this world!

1981, Danny Padilla. I'd also be ok with Platz winning the 1981 Olympia also. Franco winning was a travesty.

Flex Wheeler is the best ALMOST Mr. O of all time.

I posted it before: a Mr O should look strong....Flex never did. Levrone and Shawn Ray did so...

I always wondered if Demayo had Mr O potential.......I think he had. Top 3 at least.

Levrone came close to winning the Olympia quite a few times.

Levrone lacked back in comparison to his competition at the day.....Yeates, Ray, Coleman....
Was a teriific BB in shoulders, arms, quads. Amazing.

Whats wrong, you couldn't find a more unflattering pic of Mentzer?

Then, you post the giganto pic of Arnold, like an asshole.
You suck at the internet.

Never understood the White thong... Didn't Vince CSN MFT also sport a white thong once?

In no particular order Menzter, Padilla and Paris come to mind. Mentzer walked and whined away when he should have returned with a vengeance. Padilla was robbed too as was Paris.

padilla for sure in the smaller class ,,paris was beautiful to look at yhay hurt him,he wasn't freaky enough,competed too light or too heavy at times,and competition was crazy then top 10 ..

Flex Wheeler is the best ALMOST Mr. O of all time.
He's probably better than the best Mr. O, in '93 anyway.

Superb. A near miniaturized version of the Oak. Should have won at least one Olympia.

How the hell did he manage to change the shape of his calf muscles

He wore cut off tracksuits so that he would be forced to hammer the living shit out of them until they improved

Today the answer would be implants.....but back then, it really was training training training until his eyes fell out. So it really can be done, by training like a madman.... 8)

As much as I love Paris ( 98% no homo ) he was never a top contender or in for a shout for a win...

Gaspari was one of my favorites...until I met him a few times. I was working the boards/clubs down the jersey shore in late 80s. Dude was an arrogant douche. He dated the sister to a guy i knew,told me Gaspari was known to be hand happy when it came to the ladies.

Robby came the closest, winning the heavyweight class but losing the overall to Frank Zane.

I fully agree. Would have liked to have seen Danny win it in 81 and Platz win it in 82.

I would have liked to see either one or both (Kevin or Shawn) win. To me, the ONLY year Flex should have had a legit chance was 1993 and had Yates not shown up at 256/257 pounds of huge chiseled muscle, it would have been Flex's win easily.

Let's not forget '98. Ronnie beat Flex by the skin of his teeth that year.

After driving hours to see his seminar in Philly or Jersey or somewhere in the late 80s, I was stupid and naive enough to ask him about something he said in a Flex magazine interview. His response was "Is that what they made up that I said?" He had clearly not done any such interview and it was all made up.
The beginning of the end of my innocence. I watched him training his biceps that morning and was amazed and impressed by his concentration and vascularity.

This was my exact reaction when I learned that the last Koo Koo Roos had closed.

Nasser was not GH15.....but I am totally through with the GH15 thing......

Robby was close to mr O, barely missed it. Could have taken it, 50/50....

He had a good shot at grapping it in 1996 also.

Shawn Ray Got Fucked twice!
I'll 2nd that. He is so unfairly raped on this site. He was a Tier 1 material and should have won it at least once, if not twice. He literally was the complete package with virtually no flaws, other than being 5'6"/5'7" which isn't THAT short for a bodybuilder. It was his outspoken mouth that got him on bad terms with the judges and getbig.

The ONLY year Flex deserved and had a real chance at winning was 1993, but when Dorian showed up onstage, it was lights out.

Shawn was the almost complete BB.....but he was always the smallest among the top contestants.
With guys like Haney, Yates, and Levone.....he was just too small.
The bigger guy with great muscle and shape always beats the smaller ones......life sucks, don't it ?

Shawn was way bigger than than Lee Labrada and imo way better. He carried mass while not compromising his lines and symmetry.
