When you actually think about it, free of the hype, chattering, etc., it truly is moronic what Flex is doing.
Here's a buffoon who is riding with one (borrowed) kidney, making a "comeback" many years after the fact, and risking it all only to look a mere shadow of what he once was. Well over two decades past his best.
During his prime, Flex was asked if he'd continue weight training after he retired. He responded he would likely never again set foot in a gym.
Wheeler was never of the iron.
Yates, 20 years past retirement, is living a good life, and here's his nearest competitive combatant re-donning a thong to pose down in some drippy "classic" division.
Hey, get back in the gym, if that's what you wanna do, but stay off the frigging stage.
Just because you were one of the best doesn't mean you are necessarily hardcore.
Flex was NEVER hardcore.
He's a narcissist wingnut.
He's still training in is 50s and looks great. But "Wheeler was never of the iron"?
That makes no sense whatsoever.
Tony Pearson is in his 60s, still training, guest posing, and occasionally competing. But, I guess he's not of the iron, either.
What does Dorian Yates have to do with anything? BTW, Yates donned a "thong" just like Wheeler. But, yet Yates was "hardcore" while Wheeler was/is a narcissist wing nut?
Yet on the other hand, we have people on this site who wish their favorites from the 90s and 2000s to comeback, because they can't stand the current Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath.
