So Kevin didn't deliver enough 'cause he was out of practice. Which retired pro around 50 could do it ?
Don't mention Ronnie please....... :-X
-
I think enough time has passed and many fans are clamoring to see what either Peyton Manning or Kobe Bryant would do against today's generation of pros.

Yeah sure what about miss Jenner ?
-
I hope they actually give special invitation to Jason Genova.
In all honesty, that would draw in even more attention than Levrone.
Jason might save the pro bodybuilding.
That would also shut the mouth of those whining about the guys these days being too big and having nothing an average gymrat can relate to.
Jason would be peoples champion.

Shawn Ray (only half joking). He's 51 and has been retired for 15 years now. His receptors would jump at the opportunity. :D

I've always wondered how Michael Jordan would fare against this generation of pros....I'm sure with a few weeks of practice MJ will be good enough to carry a team to the playoffs.

he returned in 2001 and didn't make the playoffs in 2002 or 2003

Special Invites should be given out for guest posing purposes only, not for competition. No need to be setting them up for failure and embarrassment.

Shawn prob has the best chance in the 212 class given he's always had great legs which was a strong point :D

Shawn is so fat there is not enough time for him to diet.
He dies from age before reaching single digits again.

Cormier!!
Chris later on his career had torn funky looking body parts
He retired for a reason at 42/43

Maybe Melvin should make a comback. Or is he still competing?

DR DUTCH, I don't think it will be just one old time IFBB Pro in a future Olympia connected line-up, but a whole series of former greats who are in the 50+ age category ..... and the fact that there was so damn much interest in Kevin this year could prove that I may be right and get the IFBB officials thinking about an invited 50+ Olympia (Olympia Senior?) event that could be held that Olympia weekend.
The very fact that Kevin entered this year may be that he was encouraged to do to ascertain if there would be any interest in such an event in the future.
I think I'd get off my ass to see the likes of Ray and Strydom and all the other past Olympians get on that stage and compete for a buck or two.
That invite could possibly even include those who came close to winning that coveted award.
Even Arnold and Franco which is most likely a damn near impossibility.
But impossible shit happens every day!
I'm not 100% sure about this but it just could be that Kevin was encouraged to enter in an effort to determine if there way any interest in promoting such an event.
And if Kevin's participation was simply his own idea without any IFBB encouragement, I'm almost 90% positive that the IFBB saw this interest and is giving it some serious consideration now.
Sorry, Getbiggers..... Too many words once again!

There was a masters O in the 90s but it just seems to have faded away....Robby and Vince Taylor won them each year I think.
-
YEA, DOC! I sort of recall that event.
But today these is a much greater interest in the Oly event itself due to the internet and much more interest in the old time geezers who managed to receive something better than a plastic trophy.
I honestly think it's gonna be born again, but only in conjunction with a major IFBB event with the hopes that it will catch on and stand on its own 4 feet.
-

Sure is ;D he was wasted potential , could never get in shape, Vic in ways is the same

-

but would they be able to hold there own i doubt it.
-

-

ha yeah your right, vince taylor to , i think styrdom was only a couple years younger, of course strydom has alot more money than kevin
-
Dennis James is still in good shape.....probably do well against today's pros if he rededicated himself....
-
Yates.
-
Dennis james gut was out of control prior to retirement. And wasnt placing well.
Levrone should just keep training for another year. His upper body was pretty good. That side most muscular was crazy
-
Craig Titus.

I always liked Baker, should have placed much higher in the final years of his career, but was punished by the IFBB, the crooks... >:(

baker had a great build when he returned from the wbf and got soem really shitty placings, there were a couple shows i thought he beat flex wheeler.
-
Craig Titus.
Craig will do the IFBB Super Senile Ultra Masters in 2050.....will lose from Kevin though.
I think they are the same age....

He's a down to earth guy.....won't make a fool out of himself.
Yates rules. 8)

yes, levrone set the standard.. he did not even finish in the top 15. what a champ ::)

Ah, missed his peak. He'll be back, just like Ronnie.
:-X :-X ::)
-
If he can do to his wheels what he did to his upper body, he would be in the top 6 easily.

Unfortunately he would have to do the quadriplegic class as he has no arms either.
-
Craig Titus' return would be great for the sport. When does he get released?
-

Unmatched delusion

Now this is what a former pro bodybuilder should look like!

Maybe Guenter will make a comeback?
-

He has made significant gains in elbow mass though.

He looks the same now but with less mass. Still very muscular. Looks like he could come back any time he wants!
