Title: Who is the biggest X factor in this upcoming Olympia?
Post by: Royalty on June 15, 2006, 12:10:27 PM
I would have to say that with Heath out, the biggest X factors will be Branch Warren and Markus Ruhl. Gustavo is a question mark too.


You know a work horse like Ruhl is out to prove himself after last year.

Branch added Nearly 10lbs after last years Olympia and nearly took the ASC. I bet he will be another 3-5 lbs heavier this time too.

Ronnie, Jay, Gunter, and Dexter are obviously locks for top 6.

Anyone think Victor can get top 3?

man, the O is going to be just like every other O since 99.

you know who's going to win.  placements 2-10 are interchangeable.  anyone who seriously wets their panties worrying about it gunter can overcome vic should seriously introduce a hammer to his own cranium.

Marcus needs to qualify...

Has Victor Qualified?

Also awaiting the return of Cormier

Truly biggest question is.....Will Bob Chick compete? He is eligible....

Victor got 5th last year so he is qualified.

Markus will qualify at the Atlantic City pro show....he should win the contest actually

It should be funny to see the PDI vs. IFBB thing go...

Lee is gonna try to be in the show but Chick said that IFBB rules disqualify him if he participates in the NOC... All this will play out before the Mr. O and shortly after Lee picks up his check for first place in the NOC.

But competetion wise the x factor is by far....

The X factor this year is........... nobody.

Watching the Olympia each year is like watching the movie Groundhog Day.  Granted, I think Ronnie is dominant and deserves his titles, but it is monotonous.

That picture of Cormier is sick. Wow, has he ever looked that good again?

1 and 2 are already locked, but i have the feeling that Cormier is going to place third. Theres no way that Doz is letting him fukk around in the Temple. Everyone knows hes training Chris so to a certain extent Dorians on stage as well. For the first time in his life Chris is literally being forced to work hard and fulfill his potential.

He said he would stay in england for 12 weeks before the O only

Rumor has it that since Dorian is a former Mr Olympia the IFBB is allowing Cormier a special invite to the O and he does not have to qualify

The last persons to recieve special invites were Federov and Gunter in 2002 ...pretty much opposites in terms of placings... one was overhyped and finished 15th or so and the other was not on the radar and that night started Guntermania....
Friggin special invites are hit or miss...

Top 10  ???

Easily.  I'd say top 6, but there are major whispers that he'll be doing the Euro PDi shows.  Fair judging just ain't.

i wonder what he looks like in the "OFF SEASON"...but its probably the same...By the looks of him, he must have just jumped out of bed one day and read in the local paper their was a BBuilding show and thought for sure he would win the whole thing....

This of course was after a night of sucking down 18 beers at the local pub...
