Ron Love still looks fucking awesome.

no idea what shape Mike Christian is in these days but he was a great bodybuilder back when he was competing. I heard he had a drug problem, but I don't know what it was or how badly it affected him or his career. Didn't he make a fortune with his clothing company?

Do not forget about Victor Richards. He might finally make his pro debut. He faked his own death in 2021, and he’s probably going to cash in on his soaring popularity.

Wasn't Christian always known for being lazy in the gym.  I believe that Haney once said that if Christian got his head together and buckled down to put his mind to it, he would be unstoppable.

We'll know he's serious about a comeback when he starts getting shit-faced and bragging about sucking cocks.

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHH  TA NA KA

Christian hasn't been on stage in nearly 30 years. The last time he competed, it was the final WBF championship where he was way smaller than his runner-up finish the previous year. Check 21:46 of this video for how he looked in 1991.



Ron Love still looks fucking awesome.

He did. But, according to Shawn Ray, he sold controlling interest to the WBF which factored into his large salary. But, with his narcotic issues, he blew his fortune and ruined his marriage.

I have one of the Bill Phillips audio tape interviews with Dan Duchaine that he used to promoter and sell in the early stages of Bill's Muscle Media 2000 era in which Dan talks about how great Mike Christian looked at the 1990 drug tested Mr. O.  Dan really helped Mike beat the test and look somewhat close to normal.  Great tape, haven't played it in years.  Those were great times.

I'm sure a lot of his fortune was spent on cocaine.
