Funk, silly me, I thought Matt was dead already. Another one dead in their 50's? Romano's bodies are piling up these days.

Damn, they just keep coming. Worse than pro wrestling lately. Way to young

61 years old.

Never heard of him but he had great arms and legs, very thick solid tight. RIP.

He was 61 years old so not that young really. I mean after 60 anyone, even clean living people are running risk of heart failure.
I'd say when bodybuilders drops dead below the ages of 55 or so PED's can usually be said to be a direct cause.

RIP. :'(

RIP. One of the best ever to not get a pro card. WTF is going on? Who will it be tomorrow?

Not so sure now. I saw a post on fb questioning if it was the football player of the same name:

RIP.

John Meadows, Phil Hernon, Billy Smith and Matt Mendenhall all within a couple weeks.

Didn't he have a drinking problem?

4 bodybuilders in 3 weeks. Maybe John can do an after hours show on RXmuscle and explain all of the recent coincidences

This is one of the most impressive bodybuilding photos I've ever seen. He was the complete package. I also never knew he didn't turn pro. Speaks to the absolute greatness of that era in bodybuilding. PIP

That last picture is one that I have autographed by Matt when he guest posed at the Philadelphia Muscle Mania. He was making a come back to the National NPC stage after a couple of years removed. His calves were amazing in person. Unfortunately, he competed in the hardest HW class ever seen before.

This assclown would probably have no shame elaborating with a serious face all the bad genetic predispositions running in all of their families :D

Mike Christian got robbed

Palumbo is just as fkn bad and deceiving. He completely tried to shift the blame of McCarvers death to genetics… Palumbo/RX need a good calling out. I think Shawn Ray’s current ranting may have guys like Palumbo sweating 😓 bullets

RIP

Yes RIP! Matt Mendenhall had it all. He had more potential than even Arnold IMO. 61 is just too soon this really sucks. People are dropping like flies lately.

Well yes 61 is on the young side but not ridiculously so. If male life expectancy is 75 years or so, a full 50 percent of men go before 75. You would think this was a Dallas McCarver situation from the posts here.

Matt deserves to have his name capitalized in the title. Funk, please fix sir

include as well recently andy haman and brad hollibaugh.....

When I began weight training (the mid-80s), Matt was everywhere in the muscle mags.
Sad.
