Arnold was destined for success no matter what. Without Weider it would have taken much longer as Joe provided opportunities for bbers to an extent no one else could or was willing. There would still be bbing if there was no Weider but hard to say to what extent.

As a bber Arnold was not overrated. He was head and shoulders above the rest. As a human being, he was vastly underrated. He far transcended bbing as no one else could.
Who could have predicted (other than Arnold) how great and successful he would be? Known and admired across the entire world.

4- Arnold would have made it either way, as his drive was too immense.  Joe was equally determined though, and was a catalyst for Arnold and the IFBB as we know it.  Flip the two people around, and I give it a 4 as well for the same reasons.

3- Not for his time, and what he meant to the growth of the sport.  Not over-rated in the least when looked at that way IMO.  He's a legend for a reason.

Joe Weider was very important for bodybuilding therefor it stands to reason that he was also very important for Arnold in that he provided the opportunity for him to succeed in bodybuilding.  The Mr. Olympia gained stature because of Arnold's success.  To be honest, this was a highly symbiotic relationship and both men benefitted from one another.  I still think that Joe gave Haney 8 wins to try and teach Arnold a lesson in "humility".  Stupid Joe. Later Coleman equaled Haney but the truth of the matter is neither of them are the Oak and will forever remain in the shadow of his career. 

Arnold is far from overrated as far as bodybuilding is concerned.  He remains the best ever.  Just because Coleman and Haney have more doorstops doesn't make them better.  Those two are nothing compared to the Oak, especially so Coleman.  That Arnold went beyond bodybuilding is testimony to not only his drive to succeed but also to his charisma.  His turn as Governor and his fall from Conservatism shows that he's just another Zelig, i.e., a human chameleon that will change his appearance to suit his ego driven wants.  Coleman is a slobbering idiot and Haney a terminally "nicest guy around".  And Heath?  Fuck that idiot.

I don't give shit for being "wordy".  If I give you shit, it's because you're a typist.  And now because you "think" Coleman took bodybuilding to "a new level".

With all due respect...Regarding Coleman's supplement line?  BFD and FTN, sir. 

Coleman is a fucking waste of chemicals.  Coleman's life is similar to that of Charlie's in "Flowers for Algernon".  Except Coleman has never been even remotely intelligent but instead his transformation is entirely physical.  And now that is fast disappearing.  Good riddance.

It's GB, and all in fun.

I don't think he gave us the ideal physique, but he brought something no one ever thought they'd see.  He was an extreme mash-up of size, v-taper, vascularity, and shredded all in one.  Even though he didn't do movies like Arnold, and is even harder to understand; more people outside of bbing know who he is compared to Haney, Heath, or Zane.  Yeah Buddy!!!

Arnold will go down as the best bodybuilder of all time. He went on to be the highest paid movie star for a number of years. He was the Governor of California. That's an incredible career. The  bodybuilders of today look like inflated soft water bags with big guts.  Look at Arnold in 73 and 74. He was huge with a small waist. In 75 he was smaller but ripped to the bone. No bodybuilder had the career that he had. He married a Kennedy and that's American royalty.

Essentially, Joe and Arnold's coming together (no homo) set themselves, their families, and their families' families up for a long time.  I don't think either one of them ever truly believed they would ultimately achieve what they did.  With or without each other.

"Arnold, Paul and the Rewards of Crime
        Arnold and Paul Maxwell Graham have been buddies for years.  Two
days after Arnie got his first apartment in LA, Arnie invited a writer to
his place to see the proof that the Weiders had rigged the contest in
which Frank Zane had beaten him.  Paul popped out of the bedroom just
after their arrival wearing only his underpants.  Arnold complained that
all the contestants had to wear a medallion out on stage with Zane’s
picture on it.  The writer had to admit it was Frank’s body on the
medallion right down to the vein on his arm.  The writer however,
concluded from looking at the pictures,  that Zane deserved to win
because, “Arnold was just plain fat”.   Arnold could only see that he was
bigger than Zane.
        With in months, Arnie was tearing down the highway with Paul in
pursuit.  A squeal of brakes, a crash, and a dazed Arnie hauls himself out
of the car.  Paul announces to the witnesses that he is taking Arnold to
the hospital, and hurriedly leaves the scene of the accident.  Shortly
after,  the police arrived and identified the car as a stolen vehicle.
According to Bill Dreke, Arnold’s long time buddy, several days later our
Germanic Super Hero and Paul fled to Hawaii.  A federal warrant was issued
for Paul’s arrest on  1/29/69.
        In Honolulu Hawaii, FBI agent Edwin Miller and his partner flanked
the motel door, and then with a kick, the door flies open.  There stands
Paul Graham posing stark naked for Arnie who is laying on the bed wearing
only his underpants.  Paul and Arnie are cuffed and taken out of the room.
 Our usually cool under pressure hero is very upset, the feds refuse to
let him take his little blue pills with him.  According to agent Miller,
the pills were found to be the anabolic steroid, Dianabol.  For Gods sake
Arnold, tell us that beautiful body was only the result of hard work,
determination and your humble, but strict upbringing.
        In the lock up, Paul admitted everything, but swore that Arnold
had no knowledge of the car being stolen.  The FBI being only interested
in the Federal Laws that were violated did not press the issue, because
this was up to the state of California.  On Feb. 11, 1969  Paul asked for
and received a Rule 20.  This Rule 20 transferred the case #3285cd to
Hawaii Federal Court from the Central District of California for the sole
purpose of pleading  guilty.  The Grand Jury indictment was filed Feb. 5,
1969, charging Paul with 18 U. S. C. #2312,  Foreign Transportation
of=Stolen Motor Vehicle.  The indictment charged that on or about December
23, 1968,  Paul shipped a 1965 Mustang and an 1966 Mustang to Sydney,
Australia.  On April 10, 1969 Paul was sentenced to 3 years,  and on April
25, 1969 was delivered to Terminal Island , California.   On Feb. 16, 1971
after less that 2 years,  Paul Maxwell Graham was paroled, and deported to
Australia.  Under U. S. Law Paul is not allowed to return to the U. S. But
that has not stopped him.  I  personally was on the same flight from Las
Vegas with Paul and the Australian body building team in 1984.
        California, feeling that Arnold was to small a fish to go to the
expense of extraditing from Hawaii, did not pursue any State charges
against him, knowing that Paul would swear that Arnie did not know the car
was stolen.  Bill Dreke claims,  Arnold not only knew,  but was the look
out for the thief’s.
        Arnold visited Paul regularly and provided money to make his life
comfortable.  In the movie “Pumping Iron” we see Arnold posing there for
the inmates,  but they never explained how Arnie became connected with the
joint.  One inmate even asked for a kiss.  I can hear the Church Lady
saying “ Isn’t that special”.        
        After Paul got out of prison he was rewarded by the Weider
brothers  for protecting Arnold, by being given the Weider distributorship
and from the IFBB a position as Vice President in charge of Oceania
(Australia, New Zealand, and a bunch of Islands in the south pacific).  In
the two years that Paul was in jail, Joe Weider had made Arnie the center
piece of his body building magazines.  They had to protect their
investment from scandal.  Crime really did pay, and pay big.  In 1980
Arnold gave the Mr. Olympia Contest to Paul to Promote.  This contest is a
story in itself and will come later.  Of course Ben  Weider will tell you
that he did not know of his prison record until I told him,  but Paul
still rules Body Building in Australia.
If you want a gander at Paul rent “The Pirate Movie”, he is the aging
flabby body builder in the pirate crew.
On the plane coming back from Las Vegas, I found myself surrounded by the
Australian team in coach class.  Paul was traveling first class.  I asked
them if Paul was as big a crook in Australia as we hear he is.  Suddenly I
had four large hands clamped across my mouth with a whispered “Yes , but
shut up he might hear you”.  I couldn’t believe these big guys were that
afraid of that old man.  After we got to LA they called me from there
Hotel and I took them on a tour of Hollywood.  Boy did I get an ear full
of how Paul claims that Arnold owes him his career because he kept his
mouth shut and took the rap alone."

Everybody is shady and on the take except you. Everyone else had some corrupt angle they used to dupe everybody else and come out ahead. That's your excuse for being such an abject failure in life.

Joe helped Arnold and vice versa. Arnold was a small town kid with 2 dimes to rub together. All he had was charisma, confidence, chest, back and arms. Weider had cash, investments and businesses. Weider taught Arnold plenty on getting rich and growing the wealth. At the time before the internet, the guys running the media were keys to public acceptance. Today Arnold won't need to go the bodybuilding route or Weider. He could do it all with social media.

Arnold arrived in LA in October 1968. I was there, too. Joe brought him to the states and gave him a job in the warehouse shifting pallets around. No way Arnold was going to do that.

He preferred to train then hang around the beach at Venice. Then go eat all you can at one of the local diners.

Joe Gold told Arnold not to bother owning a gym. He figured you couldn't make much in the industry. So he encouraged Arnold to buy real estate. By 1974 Arnold was a millionaire.

Yes, we all underestimated how intelligent and determined he was. How he made it in Hollywood is one of the all-time success stories. He would go to auditions and they would laugh

at him. Ordinary mortals would have given up. Not Arnold. Every criticism and defeat only motivated him to try harder. He got lucky, too, when they cast him as the Terminator.

About Joe and Arnold. Well, the truth is white guys on the covers of his magazines sold more copies. Lots of Arnold covers but few Sergio ones. There you are.

Pellius your hamburger episode has clouded your brain.

Paul Graham called our gym in 1974 offering a seminar and posing exhibition by Arnold for $500. Problem was there wasn't time to advertise. We accepted

anyway. Arnold was well known in Sydney because he had posed at several of Paul Graham's contests. Before he gave the seminar I did an interview with him. I wore the track suit I wore as a PE teacher.

I researched Arnold and knew he already owned a million dollar house at Malibu Beach. We both drove BMW cars. After answering questions he did his posing then returned in training gear to show us how to do some exercises.

We invited Arnold to our place in Manly later for dinner. Lots of gym regulars were there as well. He went to Tony's Gym to do another posing exhibition. After that he and Paul Graham and company came

over for dinner. Roz fed everyone there T-bone steaks. Several of us sat around Arnold and I asked him a few questions. First was how he pronounced his name. "Schwartzen-eggar". I asked him about

Sergio Oliva. He said Sergio was a pig. What about Robby Robinson? He was a pig, too. I listed a few more black bodybuilders and Arnold said they were all pigs. I told him he was racially prejudiced.

"No, I just don't like any of dose guys!" We talked about fixed contests. Arnold said that everyone who lost said the contest was fixed. Sergio, Franco, etc. I asked him about that contest in 1968 in

Florida where Frank Zane beat him. "That contest was fixed!" he insisted. He did say that if he had Sergio's physique he would have beaten what he had in those days.

Then the subject of movies came up. I told him Steve Reeves was a handsome guy and how on earth was he going to be a movie star? He said he liked when people said things like that because it

"made me try harder"!

Arnold got up and we assumed he went to the bathroom. There were two in that nice apartment called Pembroke. Arnold was gone for a long time. The parents of one of our baby sitters asked me if I had seen their daughter. No.

On hearing this Robert Nailon jumped up. He is called the brain by his mates in Australia. Robert returned in a minute and said Arnold was having sex with one of the babysitters. Apparently he forgot to lock the balcony door that Robert

opened. Someone alerted Arnold that the babysitter's parents were looking for her. Next thing Arnold and Paul hastily departed. I asked the babysitter what happened and she said Arnold forced her. I asked why she didn't shout out or

say anything and she said she didn't want to cause any trouble. Since the girl's parents were there I felt they were responsible for her. She was 16.

I related this story to John Balik who published Ironman Magazine. He wrote back that a similar story could be told maybe 1000 times about Arnold from all over the world.

If The question was :  How important was Joe Weider to Dave Draper's  (Blond Bomber) success , ID say 5.

Regarding Arnold, I asked myself that question when I watched the Bigger movie ,   However With Arnold it simply does not apply .....  

Arnold was going to make it no matter what


The Blond Bomber was on cover of mags and adds when he wasnt a top 6 Mr.O contender where Sergio, who was mr.O wans't  promoted.....

yet Draper was forgotten in time .... with the new poster boy and so on ......


1- Like Vince said, Arnold was told to do certain jobs for Weider when he first arrived he said NO yet he went to take over Dave Drapper's place and went to become the face of Weider's empire .

2- Arnold was told to take his shirt off and do a posing routine on Carson's Tonight show but he said NO yet he went to promote his books movies ec..

3- Arnold was asked to play the good guy in the Termnator movie he said No yet he went to play  the Terminator himself and the rest is history ...

Rate Joe Weider's importance regarding Arnold's success on a scale of 1 - 5.

1 = Of no imprtance. Joe was of definitely not important.
5 = Extreme inportance. Arnold could not have done it without Joe..

AND .....

Is/was Arnold Over-rated.

1 = Yes, he has been definitely overated.
2 = Arnold was sorta over-ratred.
3 = Arnold was definitely not overrated.



Arnold couldn't have done it without Joe.

Yes, he has been definitely overrated.

Pellius your hamburger episode has clouded your brain.

Paul Graham called our gym in 1974 offering a seminar and posing exhibition by Arnold for $500. Problem was there wasn't time to advertise. We accepted

anyway. Arnold was well known in Sydney because he had posed at several of Paul Graham's contests. Before he gave the seminar I did an interview with him. I wore the track suit I wore as a PE teacher.

I researched Arnold and knew he already owned a million dollar house at Malibu Beach. We both drove BMW cars. After answering questions he did his posing then returned in training gear to show us how to do some exercises.

We invited Arnold to our place in Manly later for dinner. Lots of gym regulars were there as well. He went to Tony's Gym to do another posing exhibition. After that he and Paul Graham and company came

over for dinner. Roz fed everyone there T-bone steaks. Several of us sat around Arnold and I asked him a few questions. First was how he pronounced his name. "Schwartzen-eggar". I asked him about

Sergio Oliva. He said Sergio was a pig. What about Robby Robinson? He was a pig, too. I listed a few more black bodybuilders and Arnold said they were all pigs. I told him he was racially prejudiced.

"No, I just don't like any of dose guys!" We talked about fixed contests. Arnold said that everyone who lost said the contest was fixed. Sergio, Franco, etc. I asked him about that contest in 1968 in

Florida where Frank Zane beat him. "That contest was fixed!" he insisted. He did say that if he had Sergio's physique he would have beaten what he had in those days.

Then the subject of movies came up. I told him Steve Reeves was a handsome guy and how on earth was he going to be a movie star? He said he liked when people said things like that because it

"made me try harder"!

Arnold got up and we assumed he went to the bathroom. There were two in that nice apartment called Pembroke. Arnold was gone for a long time. The parents of one of our baby sitters asked me if I had seen their daughter. No.

On hearing this Robert Nailon jumped up. He is called the brain by his mates in Australia. Robert returned in a minute and said Arnold was having sex with one of the babysitters. Apparently he forgot to lock the balcony door that Robert

opened. Someone alerted Arnold that the babysitter's parents were looking for her. Next thing Arnold and Paul hastily departed. I asked the babysitter what happened and she said Arnold forced her. I asked why she didn't shout out or

say anything and she said she didn't want to cause any trouble. Since the girl's parents were there I felt they were responsible for her. She was 16.

I related this story to John Balik who published Ironman Magazine. He wrote back that a similar story could be told maybe 1000 times about Arnold from all over the world.





Yes, Vince, we've heard this story over and over and over and over again. We get it. At one time you were an insider and you like to keep reminding us of that. But did you even read the title of this thread? We know you want everyone to believe that you were a major player in the bbing cult but this thread is not about you.

Since you like talking about yourself so much can you please explain why they call you "Cornutto"? Is it true that Roz was cheating on such a big hypertrophy expert stud like you? That she had to bankrupt the gym to finally get rid of you. You also mentioned that you collect a Canadian pension. Are you also double dipping and collecting from Australia too?

 That story about Arnold isn't at all about me. Hope you comprehend this.

I have no knowledge whether Roz had cheated on me. Good for her if she did. She told me one day that I would be surprised at who the guys were who came around courting her when I was teaching high school.

About the Australian aged pension. They have an agreement with Canada and it is required that dual citizens apply for pensions in both countries. Canada doesn't give me much. Naturally I told Centrelink in Sydney.

If that was the case, did anyone bother to call the actual police? Why weren't charges brought up against him?

OMR, there's a photo that's been posted on here numerous times of Arnold literally grabbing a girl by the pussy.....something he's so abhorred that DT would mention on a bus with another guy.  Seeing that, and reading this story go hand in vagina hand.

Arnold will always be highly respected for what he did in/for bbing, but I think mine is not the only opinion of him that has really plummeted.  Fake as can be.

His plan was to get big coins from Arnold, but nobody give a f,,,,,,,,,, about his BS.

Ask yourself why he didn't report it to cops, Manly Police station is only 1 km from his place !?

Arnold arrived in LA in October 1968. I was there, too. Joe brought him to the states and gave him a job in the warehouse shifting pallets around. No way Arnold was going to do that.

He preferred to train then hang around the beach at Venice. Then go eat all you can at one of the local diners.

Joe Gold told Arnold not to bother owning a gym. He figured you couldn't make much in the industry. So he encouraged Arnold to buy real estate. By 1974 Arnold was a millionaire.

Yes, we all underestimated how intelligent and determined he was. How he made it in Hollywood is one of the all-time success stories. He would go to auditions and they would laugh

at him. Ordinary mortals would have given up. Not Arnold. Every criticism and defeat only motivated him to try harder. He got lucky, too, when they cast him as the Terminator.

About Joe and Arnold. Well, the truth is white guys on the covers of his magazines sold more copies. Lots of Arnold covers but few Sergio ones. There you are.

This guy is so full of shit. You were there in 68 were you. ROFL.

Remember what his comment was earlier in this thread. The typical Leftist propaganda. The "who are we to judge" argument that they use for everything, whether it's aberrant behavior, sexual perversion, or political systems and ideology. The Left was the biggest defenders of Communism. It was just an alternative political system and who are we to say that ours is better. It took a Reagan, a man with conviction and a moral foundation to state plainly that Communism was evil. They think it's a virtue not to judge. That just means you don't have standards for individuals and society. I think a lot has to do with secularism. No value system higher than yourself. Vince is an avowed atheist.

What daughter? Not mine! It was a babysitter, 16 years old. Arnold felt he could do whatever he liked and just about did whenever it pleased him. Quite boorish behaviour for anyone.

The girl willingly went into a bedroom with Arnold. Afterwards when asked what happened she said Arnold forced her. She also said she didn't want to get anyone into any trouble. Does that sound like rape?  Her parents were there so

they were responsible for her. As a matter of fact they were looking for her at the time.

If she thought something like rape had occurred she would have told her parents. I doubt she told them what happened in the bedroom.

Great thread.  I can't add much more to what has been said on here.  Joe was fundamental to Arnold's success, and vice versa [to some extent].  It's hard to say which one helped the other more.  I think both would have been successful regardless of whether or not they met one another.

Imagine a Jew meets an Austrian, and they have a relationship like that.  I'm not a leftist, but it's almost touching.

Remember what his comment was earlier in this thread. The typical Leftist propaganda. The "who are we to judge" argument that they use for everything, whether it's aberrant behavior, sexual perversion, or political systems and ideology. The Left was the biggest defenders of Communism. It was just an alternative political system and who are we to say that ours is better. It took a Reagan, a man with conviction and a moral foundation to state plainly that Communism was evil. They think it's a virtue not to judge. That just means you don't have standards for individuals and society. I think a lot has to do with secularism. No value system higher than yourself. Vince is an avowed atheist.
Those leftists that constantly tell people not to judge are THE most judgmental people you will ever meet.

What daughter? Not mine! It was a babysitter, 16 years old. Arnold felt he could do whatever he liked and just about did whenever it pleased him. Quite boorish behaviour for anyone.

The girl willingly went into a bedroom with Arnold. Afterwards when asked what happened she said Arnold forced her. She also said she didn't want to get anyone into any trouble. Does that sound like rape?  Her parents were there so

they were responsible for her. As a matter of fact they were looking for her at the time.

If she thought something like rape had occurred she would have told her parents. I doubt she told them what happened in the bedroom.




It's about time to inform Roz about Fat Pinocchio internet activities , after all her apartment & bead is publicly advertised by her ex  ;)

I am of sound mind and body. Iron Cross is somewhat challenged intellectually. Notice how he spells 'bedroom'.

He is being paid to harass me any way he can. If he can get people to think I lied about some small things then perhaps

I made up the story about Arnold. Nope, that story is the truth.

Our apartment was Unit 64. Here are two other properties to give an idea of how many bedrooms, views, etc.

He hated Arnold 4 placing him THE LAST on Paul Graham IFBB Mr.Australia 1975

Just don't ask him who was selling Arnolds poster in Roz & Vince gym  ::)

His hate toward P.Graham & IFBB is well documented, but attending Mr.Olympia '80 & selling images of that event  :o , was just fine .

Hates Tony Dohertys  success too.

What a f%$kwit you are. I don't hate Arnold. However, I sure didn't like the way he and Paul Graham put me last in the 1975 Mr Australia contest.

Paul Graham gave me the lowest score of all the judges. He was 'getting even' for the times I was a judge and he didn't win. Also, two weeks earlier

Robert Nailon was given a gift of the Mr NSW contest. So many of us booed. Andrew Shigelski, a gym member, overheard Paul and Arnold saying they

would fix me in Melbourne. I told Frank Burwash before the contest but he did bugger all. Later he wrote me a letter admitting that both Paul and

Arnold unfairly put me last.

We never sold any posters of Arnold at our gym. Never. So stop making up shit.

I had a run in with Tony Doherty. He didn't like a couple of posts I made. That was it. I certainly don't begrudge his success. Good luck to anyone who

opens gyms or runs contests.

WHY not posting image or 2 from Ifbb Mr.Australia 1975 to prove your 'body superiority' over others ???.

If U travel to South Africa (as Aussie rep) would you also defeat Robby Robinson for Ifbb Mr.Universe 1975 title !!!

Roger Walker, was 'only' 2nd on that contest.

He may be an annoyance from time to time, but the guy has been around and has lots of history in and around the industry.  He was this close to being Arthur Jones when it comes to machine innovation

At every single juncture he claims to have been around . . . total bullshitter. I took this picture, it was published in Muscle Builder & Power.

Yes & yes, just go to Youtube: Grandfather of Australian bodybuilding , Tony Doherty Muscle TV ,3 episodes about Rocco Oppedisano.

Regarding to him, he would also defeat Frank Zane (IronAge site) & obviously many others, like Roger Walker in 1975 .YEAH RIGHT  :D


WHO was stopping him from competing on PBBI contests in Australia ??? .

WHO was stopping him from ''defeating" Zane on NABBA Mr.Universe, or winning WBBG titles or Ifbb Mr.International ..............!!!!.

Nubret would welcome him to WABBA , but .....................

I'm a data analyst at a Fortune 500 company. I live on Zero Hedge and post here when I'm not busy. I have sifted through the information for the past 24 hours. In order to ensure proper vigilance and attention to detail I consumed 200 mg of Adderall spaced out in a bi-hourly schedule. I also have been microdosing LSD for the past three years.

I can unequivocally say that there is absolutely nothing profound within this information. It is insubstantial at best, and outright exaggerations bordering on slander at worst.

It would likely be in everyone's best interest to focus on more pertinent issues as opposed to getting lost in a web of obfuscation.

I have zero doubt Arnold’s past includes innumerable questionable sexual encounters.

To think otherwise is pure ignorance concerning who this man is and the scene in which he ran.

it was the late 1960s and 1970s in southern california - look at the time frame and location - I love arnold but i am not shocked one way or the other

and guess what? nor do i care -

Arnold arrived in LA in October 1968. I was there, too. Joe brought him to the states and gave him a job in the warehouse shifting pallets around. No way Arnold was going to do that.

He preferred to train then hang around the beach at Venice. Then go eat all you can at one of the local diners.

Joe Gold told Arnold not to bother owning a gym. He figured you couldn't make much in the industry. So he encouraged Arnold to buy real estate. By 1974 Arnold was a millionaire.

Yes, we all underestimated how intelligent and determined he was. How he made it in Hollywood is one of the all-time success stories. He would go to auditions and they would laugh

at him. Ordinary mortals would have given up. Not Arnold. Every criticism and defeat only motivated him to try harder. He got lucky, too, when they cast him as the Terminator.

About Joe and Arnold. Well, the truth is white guys on the covers of his magazines sold more copies. Lots of Arnold covers but few Sergio ones. There you are.

i had no idea Arnold got into the real estate game early

yea bbing is and was a popularity contest  and beauty contest - that is why i always say this! ive seen it first hand with my own two eyes
