It wasn't a good showing and I don't think he embarrassed himself.

I felt like this was something he had to do for himself. He didn't want to sit around wondering what if? With that said I hope he moves on with his life. Bodybuilding is over

By the press conference pics I thought he
would carb up and look much fuller.
He looked very flat onstage.

Damn, that's a heartfelt video of Kevin. Respect to the man for the having the balls to go onstage. Wish he looked better and placed higher. At least he's realistic about that now.

Agreed on the first sentence, but I think he can get a few more years of selling supplements out of this.

Kevin missed his peak. Only partly related to his age I think. Just out of practice for too long.

Exactly!

This is the type of physique the fans wanted to see again, and he has earned massive respect for going through with competing against guys training every day for years and decades younger than him.

Buffoon? Haha. Kevin would probably look better in three days training than you in your whole life.
In a  few months he went from nothing to on stage with the worlds best...takes most people 5-10yrs min.....if thats something to be mocked, id love to hear your physical achievements....but thats right, none of us have....whats lower than a Buffoon? A keyboard monkey talking trash

i was thrilled to see him back, but it was hard for me to watch

it's extremely depressing to see the toll age takes on the body, none of these guys could hold his trunks in his prime so it just all seemed so cruel and unfair how time robs even the greats of the gifts they once had

it reminded me of seeing tyson in his last fight when he lost to a no name fat white guy, it just seemed wrong

it's ok though the buildup to this was the most fun since at least 2003, he will always be the best in my mind and we will never see a bodybuilder like that again

i will always be a Levroneite

What business do you have taking a poll on Kevin Levrone and suggest that he embarrassed himself???    Kevin Levrone is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and for someone like you Shizzo to disparage him is pretty ridiculous seeing as how you've never been on a bodybuilding stage, gone to a bodybuilding show, or even displayed any type bodybuilding physique or even something that resembles a human body for that matter and yet you decide that you wish to trash M3???  

Seriously Shizzo, you are one sad person

kev will look 10x better in 3 days when he's filled out & does a pro photo shoot or three. 

Ferrigno said the days after his comeback O (94?) he looked worlds better.   Ate pizza and filled out.

Anyway stop beating a dead horse

Most of people here judging him can't even have the discipline or self respect to get in shape for summer beach let alone even step
On the most basement dwelling level bodybuilding contest

If it wasn't for Kevin appearance I would really have no shits to give to this stupid show called a sport

The man did his legacy no good. Tarnished the legend.

Anyone who's been around long enough knows bodybuilding comebacks are essentially always disastrous.

You cannot get off the wheel for several years when at the upper levels and hope to ever get back on. Momentum is everything.

His age, too, is a factor, but mostly it's the time away from the grind.

and strydom did the one show in 06 and looked decent.   casey viator took 8 years off, from competing but was still in his early 30's when he came back.

strydom finished top 7 i think or better against a young smaller phil heath at colorado show and looked great actually ,,he was off stage and top placings longer than kev ,,strydom other than 88/90 ifbb shows he did well and 91/92 dominant wbf showings he was nowhere to be found contest wise and nowhere near kev's contest history win/plaing wise then does the colorado show and looks awesome esp his age then too..

all those runner ups from the 90s would have done so (except for maybe chiwawa shawn ray). they just had bad luck competing in an era containing yates and then the beginning of big ron's reign.

hey nj and we know the reason why , gary made a good amount of money from the wbf in a short period of time and invested, also i heard and dont know if this is true
