I'm thinking 95 maybe?

I'm not sure I have to do my research.

1990-99 were the best.

1996 the best lineup it was missing no big name to that point besides Vince Taylor. 1995 second only missing Dillett. 1997 close missing Flex but had Priest.

Dorian was way better in 95 than 96 right?

And Levrone was arguably at his best in 95.

Dunno its close, but somewhere in that year range.

'93 or '98 IMO.

Although '80 with the Arnold farce is probably up there too.

I forgot how good flex looked. It's a shame such a great physique never won the O. He made Shawn look smooth.  The top 6 guys there would be top 2 today. Not knocking the guys of today, just saying how good that era was

Flex never looked strong. A mr O should look strong...exit Flex, exit Heath.
Hope this helps..
