You do realize that "Iron Warrior" sounds retarded and fruitishly so? At the lease, it sounds like a cheap Chinese Kung Fu flick from the mid 70s. Either that or something Ric Drasin was "blackmailed" ("black-maled") into making for a "private collector of films of a certain persuasion".

He had a good build, but the gyno, high lats, underdeveloped legs and lack of middle back thickness kept him from winning it all.

I don't think he had high lats.
-
A notorious coke head.

There were some good pics of him in Flex mag 1990 where he looks as Aesthetic as Bob Paris.
Thanks John will check later.

No weak points in that shot.

Came from the best generation for bodybuilding in my opinion, guys still had their health to a greater degree and bodyweights weren't obese like they are today.

I agree with you! The '80's were the best because the bodybuilders were definitely advanced from the '70's but they still looked like human beings and not total freaks. It was also the decade when bodybuilding competitions got the most mainstream publicity with coverage on CBS, NBC and ESPN. By the '90's, GH and insulin had entered the scene and the bodybuilders just became too big and freaky and it gradually lost the appeal to the general public and the mainstream media coverage faded away. Look at the bodyweights of the top guys at the 1988 Mr. Olympia - Gaspari - 208, Quinn - 204, Labrada - 176. They all looked amazing but it was still somewhat attainable.

Haney crushed them all because he was bigger, Dorian took it further, 90's were hands down the best we'll ever see

Mike at the 1984 Mr. Universe backstage.
-
cool interview. Mike seems the kind of person who tries to have a good word for everyone, probably even if he does not particularly like the person
-
Yes, I noticed that too. Mike was very complimentary to everyone and didn't say anything bad about any of his competitors. I asked him if he had a rivalry with Gaspari and he said they didn't like each other too much when they were competing against each other. He also said he didn't like Strydom but I had to get that out of him.
