It's just like when guys first turn pro they look their best but place like shit. As they put on more size in order to place better they look like shit.

WAIT JUST A MINUTE! I thought Jay Cutler was a "fridge". When he was Mr. Olympia, people here were bashing him without mercy.

Now, all of a sudden, people are pining for the gold ol' days of Cutler?

He's not that far removed from today's crop. His last Olympia was 2013 (6th place, torn bicep and all). His last win was 2010 and he placed 2nd to Heath in 2011.

As for Curry, people were always bagging on him for being an "underachiever", after being deemed "The Prodigy". A few years back, he didn't even place at the O. Now he's Mr. O. Ronnie Coleman took the same route, from "16th" place in 1992 to #1 in 1998.

I'd like to see Curry under good light. He honestly looks awful in all the Mr.Olympia pics I've seen. His pics taken x weeks out looked pretty good but he reminds me of Dennis James. Tank top Mr. O but just OK on stage.

Compared to today's bodybuilding you don't have much options.

It's more like straight-up hate for whoever currently holds the title of Mr. Olympia.

We went from Cutler being a "fridge" to Heath behind "bloofy" (whatever that is). Rhoden.....well he had too much real-life drama (his horrible guest-posing appearance, coupled with his rape charge). Now, Curry is getting blasted, after being Mr. O for all of a month.
