Sounded very bitter there many years later. Has this loss haunted him til his early death? Has he even died from a broken heart after all? :-\
-
He deserved to win that
-
Nasser is still alive with Prince, Eazy-z and Adolf Hitler somewhere in the south american jungle.
-
he compromised his health only to be snubbed
-
He looked amazing in his prime but when he showed his back he couldn't hang with Yates.

That why bodybuilding should be judged from the front only

Hi Gary Strydom.

Few "got over" the 97 Olympia. 2 from the show are dead(Matarazzo and Nasser), 3 would end up with so many injuries they would have stop competing(Fux, Dorian and Ronnie), and two suffered permanent kidney or other internal lifelong damage requiring lifetime dialysis or other care(Flex and Francois, although Flex was prepping and missed the show with ninja story).

Amazing, dead, permanent orthopedic injuries, damaged kidneys and other health issues.

why wouldn't it bother him years later? you get that close to winning, most people with two eyes can see you deserved to win, and then you get 2nd place?? who wouldn't be bitter about that?
it's not just placing 2nd that hurts him, if he won he could've forever be known as an olympia champion and he would've made tons more money in appearances
maybe if he won he wouldn't have felt the need to still be big after retirement, maybe subconsciously he felt like he still had something to prove because he wasn't validated with the title
nobody truly gets over 2nd place in any sport, 2nd place can feel worse than last

Makes sense. Maybe that's also the reason for the silly, useless comebacks from the likes of Flex, Levrone etc.

Yes when he died
-
Most likely.
He’s dead

He came out and said exactly this in an interview, he had even calculated the money amount so it's fair to say he was bitter, understandably so.

Mr. Levrone's comeback looks like a smart move, he now has a successful supplement line and seems to be traveling all over the world

Yeah finacially you can't really argue, but his reputation as a competitor in my eyes was pretty soured, he looked like an out of place old man both times he was on stage...
-
Nasser was the epitome of a beautiful, bespectacled man. That being said, he did not win, nor did he deserve to win the 97 Olympia with state level back development.
RIP.

Luimarco is a funny dude! He says nobody since "Adam and Eve" has come close to Dorian's rear lat spread! Colorful way to put it!
-
luis looking PROPAHH!!!

Nasser was not robbed in 97 his only perceivable advantage being oil filled arms and his structure was sub par. His back actually was pretty good that year. Being all drugs very much like Tyranosaurus Ramy meant Nasser could not drop enough water. If Nasser lowered his dosages to get dry he would lose size and couldnt hang so he sacrificed conditioning and at the end of the day he simply did not have the genetics to beat Dorian or Ronnie for the sandow.
I mean look at Nasser when he turned pro and you can bet he was already on tons of gear so what do you think it took for him to add like 40lbs stage weight in what 3 years maybe 4? I heard he was the first to take a gram of test a day and that wouldnt surprise me. Youre never getting conditioned from the back on a gram of test a day i mean come on

Nasser was blocky garbage. Who cares....

Wow! :o

Back in the days when pro bodybuilding was epic^
Unlike today when most "pro's" are bikini or men's bikini Insta famous douche bags

Lol at the title! Didn’t “beautiful man with glasses” originate from Getbig?
-
I was never a fan of Nasser, but he definitely won in 1997.
Shawn Ray should've won in 1994.
Even Bob Wolff, who was a good friend of Dorian's, said Shawn Ray won that Mr. Olympia.

Yes. So did Palumboism.

We need Getbig's Arab contingent to get behind another bodybuilder. Those old "Nasser Nights" posts were hilarious. Sadly "Big Ramy Weekends" doesn't have a ring to it :(.

you post no shots from the front, that's odd... ::)

No he didn't

It was close but Nasser deserved 97, when Nasser was at his best he was epic, would easily destroy ramy at his best.

Dorian beats Nasser because Dorian was more aesthetic

I'm not gonna deny, Nasser beat him on quite a few poses for sure. But I think Dorian's posing routine I posted above is what made him deserve the W, he really posed perfectly in order to hide his flaws, something people forget to mention a lot.

His back and abs were quite good in 94, then he went crazy and lost a lot of definition to gain all that size in 95
