"Mr O is about who is the best ambassador of the sport - Not the best physique"

[240 is Back]

This was discussed about a week back on getbig.  I thought the mr O title went to the best ambassador of BBing...NOT the guy with the best physique onstage that day.  Rather, the man working to bring the sport to the masses, be a great public face, go on TV and be seen at boxing matches, all that good stuff.

If you search any of the top BBers of the 90s - Labrada, haney, etc - They all used this particular wording.   Ambassador.  Representative of the sport.

So which is it currently?  And what SHOULD it be?

I don't know about you but when I watch the formula 1 I expect the guy who comes first to be hosing people down with champagne - anything else would make it a joke.

[POB]

I've learned to accept being stereo typed as a homo and possible steroid user. I don't know if I can get use to being stereo typed as a grape fruit fucker

Then forget about IFBB.
We must make new federation where bodybuilders should be tested IOC level.

You forgot that people recognize bodybuilding as drug addicting.
hope this help

So Dorian was the best ambassador of the sport at that time? hahahahahhaahhahahahahah aa......

Ambassador. Sure. At least, Phil is a good choice, he's the only Bber who can fit in those UN seats.

[Army of One]

You know it's a Schmoe thread when Musclecenter and Kyomu post right after each other

[Nirvana]

Yes and philsulin is perfect. Gangsta attire that appeals to generation nothingness teens, big bloofy arms because said teens don't know about any other body parts, speaks fluent English/ebonics, no back ground in citrus porn.

[littleguns]

This is why Ramy will never win the O. Lives overseas and doesn't speak English.

[musclecenter]

Mr.Olympia is more than bodybuilding!

[Ronnie Rep]

The masses are not interested in Bodybuilding! They just want someone that appears to have some sort of moral fiber, looks good speaks well! Oh yeah doesn't molest citrus, or engages in oral sex with men under towels!

[MORTALCOIL]

Mr.Olympia is more than bodybuilding!

Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself.

[the trainer]

A pro bodybuilder can do all the nasty freaky shit that he wants  and everthing will be fine just dont do it on video, a lot of people has lost their careers because of some freaky video showing up why should bodybuilding be different.

[DroppingPlates]

"ambassador"... what a joke, this isn't a Mr nice guy contest
