So with Yates, Clairmonte, Elwood and Dowie, was that the most Brits ever in a single Olympia lineup??

Mr. Levrone easily looks the best backstage, everybody else looks bloated or smaller

You can tell how cocky and full of himself Kevin is at beginning of clip as he walks in front of camera.   

He was my favorite to win that year.   

Never would have thought I’d live to see him place dead last. 

His ego was his primal rival.   Still is.

Clairmonte looked the best if you're looking for perfection. That Hebrew (yes, Barbados people are Caribbean Hebrew) has aesthetics AS GOOD AS his American Hebrew brother Flex Wheeler. If he had the right "coach" he would have been top 3 at the O.

Strangely, I too got this as a recommendation yesterday.

Dorian did not look at all good in that video.  Not a lot of good angles, though.

Fux looked pretty good. 

Dillet's little bit was amusing - you could tell the guy just had so little interest or care in what he was doing. 

Levrone's midsection was very good in that vid.  There was another backstage one where he was way worse - in fact, all the guys had bad midsections in that other video (think it might have been british gp?). This was a fair bit better.

Eh, I dunno about that.  He did have a great physique, but he had a fairly long waist and so-so condition in the hams and, ugh, yes, glutes when he was at his heaviest weight.  He also seemed a bit thin from the side, as if he could've used more thickness in general (though, oddly, his upper back looked great in the rear biceps pose).  Flex's round bellies simply afforded him too much of an advantage to compare the two properly imo; however, Charles DID beat Flex at some of the '93 Grand Prix shows, so maybe I'm way off the mark :)

Yeah, I saw this too last night.  Dorian's stomach looks pretty awful there.  I agree with Earl that Mr. Levrone probably looks best.  But lacked the thickness and density of Yates, which was the justification for giving him the win.

Haha the impatient schmoe in me was waiting in anticipation for the Shadow to de-robe and showcase his superior physique, yet I was left disappointed and flaccid thanks to the gut. Him and JP Fux looked like they were waddling around the local maternity ward. Also, it was funny seeing Ronnie in there as a nobody.

His ego was his primal rival.   Still is. 

they all would've placed last if they stopped competing for 13 years and then decided to come back in their 50's

the comeback turned out to be a great idea, it made him relevant in the sport again and now he is traveling the world promoting his supplement line and making good money

Was it usually held in New York?  I think it was held in Chicago once, and consistently in Las Vegas since 1999.

Shawn Ray complained about Dorian having his own room backstage with Weinberger in with him at one Olympia..

Not during Dorian's time, but it was held on the east coast of America quite a bit during the 90's. And Dorian certainly was friendly with Weinberger. If you look at a lot of his American photo shoots on the east coast, they'd be at Bev Francis's Gym or Gold's Syosset. Bev is Steve Weinberger's wife.

Lot's of top guys knew Steve and Bev, but Dorian was extra buddy buddy.

They didnt make a fuss because Weider ruled with a rod of iron, no one wanted to rock the boat, apart from Shawn of course..

Did Dorian ever flick Bev’s enlarged bean?

On a side note, Bev appears to have never looked attractive. Steve is certainly a schmoe’s schmoe. This is the closest thing to marrying a Tom Platz impersonator.

He certainly might of had the chance, from an old Muscle and Fitness gym profile -

"When Dorian Yates was in the midst of his Olympia title run, he’d spend the month before the competition training at Bev Francis."

And this Yates biography says he had an open invitation to their house -
