Honestly I wish ( although it wont happen) that Ronnie would lose this year. for 2 primary reasons:
A- TO see Haney's record saty intact as I think his physique was WAY better, better taper smaller waist.
B- Somebody with a DAMN brain would win that could actually do an interview and not sound like a 5th grader with sayings like "hes on crack", "lights out", "nuttin but a peanut", "lightweight" that crap has caused the public just keep thinking that all bodybuilders are stupid as hell.
If Jay or Gunter were Mr. O the sport "might" have a 1 in 100 chance of going mainstream, with Ronnie reighning it is more like 1-100,000 
the "sport" as you refer to it, will NEVER EVER go mainstream!!! why do people still say things like this? very few people want to emulate, or even could look like these freaks that everybody wants to go see compete. it is a very small, perverted, sub-culture. i am not saying this in a negative way- it just is what it is.
so what if ronnie speaks with an "urban" black/southern dialect. have you ever hung out with cutler, or heard him speak? did you see him as one of the mc's for i believe it was the '02 olympia? not to put him down, but he's got all the charisma of a cardboard box.
do you really think that for all the years "bodybuilding" has been around, there's a reason that it hasn't gone "mainstream" yet?
don't get me wrong, i love bb, and have been training for many, many years, and have trained with many name people, etc... however, it is a perverted freak show that will never go mainstream. and yes, this includes the "womens" side as well.
Ronnie, once agin, will decimate, destroy, and demolish all pretenders to the throne!!!
