Title: 1989 Junior Nationals
Post by: BayGBM on April 16, 2025, 12:47:09 PM
Back in the day I recall watching the 1989 Junior Nationals on some cable channel.  Corey Everson and Joe Fowler were commentators. At least three of the competitors are dead. :'(

The heavyweight competitors were:
1  Kyle Norris.       died at 60
2  Robert Rothrock died at 59
3  Douglas Wentz.  I think he is still around... did a video interview with Palumbo posted 4 years ago.
4  Paul Demayo.    died at 37
5  Terrell Roberson. Dunno his status... ???

Anyone recognize the Light-HeavyWeights?
1  Carl Richards
2  Chuck Sanow
3  Jessie Lipoma
4  Gary Jefferson
5  Greg Lindzy

I competed against Doug in ‘02 at the NPC NJ Physique.  He was real good.  He took 8th at the USAs the following week.  Great guy to talk with back stage.  I’m in the middle, Doug is next to me on the right.

Joe Fowler was awful.  He's a bad infomercial guy.  He did the tested 90 Mr. O too.

So true.  He is a shill for any product and a clown... but he keeps getting work. Go figure. ;D

Just saw him on TV selling the https://www.giddyupgrill.com/ grill cleaner. He is even on the website. :-\

His agent sure keeps him busy.
