maybe its just my age, but i think with the amount of interest that Levrones comeback generated that a masters over 40s and over 50s and even 60s would be a good addition to both the arnold and the olympia weekends. The prize money would not have to be high, the top guys could still make good money marketing themselves to the older generation of guys. Would be good to see vince taylor against Kevin and Flex again. See Strydom comeback as well, only downside would be I guess guys like Flex doing what he did when he was younger pushing the envelope too far, shame as guys like Taylor Milos Stardom etc, its good to see guys still living a balanced bodybuilding lifestyle in the later years.

While we’re at it, let’s get Nasser and Mattarazzo and DeMayo back up on stage too.

If they did an over 50 who could compete? You have Levrone, Wheeler. Guys like Ray, Dillett, Dennis James and maybe Cormier? Over 60? Not sure who's still lifting to be considered competitive? Over 70 you have Robby Robinson.

There are a few sleepers out there who might be coaxed back in and look decent or half way decent for old time sake (not that they would necessarily be interested or able to):
Tony Pearson
Bill Grant
Leon Brown
Mike Quinn
Gary Strydom
Darrem Charles
Lee Labrada

Others?

Sonny

I like Nassers story how Milos would just use Sonny for money. Sonny was very very good and its very sad he died so young...

Why don’t more of the top guys look like that these days? He does not look “small” compared to the present.
