The comments were turned off, when you figured they'd be on to see people post their best wishes for him hmmm.

Too bad Arnold didn't do his show at least once. The last thing Ric filmed a few weeks ago, he accepted that it was definitively never going happen. Maybe that realization broke his will to live?

It was with Doug Brignole.  Ric seems slower and Doug finished a few of his thoughts/sentences for him.

Oh I missed that one. The one I saw was him in his home office giving an update (sounding and looking bad). Thanks though, I'll check it out. The video I saw was the most annoyed/disappointed I heard him on the subject.

Most likely, but really.....who cares?  To each his own.

Was in the pro wrestling business for a while.  That's a wacky world to be in for sure.

The son or you?

I meant Ric.  I believe he worked in California a long time ago.  I never said I was in or not.  I know one thing, though.  YOU are not.....unless your persona here is a work  ;D.  You could never hate a group (or groups) of people and survive inan environment of camaraderie and trust.  At least it used to be like that, so I'm told.......

Ric had  Tom Platz on his show;  lame interview,  couldn't ask a single question about 1980 or 81' Mr.O ....   It'll be interesting to hear how Platz feels about it (40 years later) I'm sure he has changed his opinion drastically ever since .




WoooSHHHHHHHHH   LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Although I always wondered about if he injured his back and knees and he did address that.  Tom had lower back injury, but never any knee injuries, which is totally amazing to me.  Knees of titanium!

Ric is believed to have the biggest collection of Afflictions shirts  among bodybuilders .... Not even Dexter Jackson comes close to own as many .

I watch his video's. I like first hand accounts how the golden age guys in Gold's gym trained. He was there. His health seems to be failing him.  Many  the steroid guys from that era have had a lot of health problems.

Well, he’s 76 from what I gather. Don’t a lot of humans (most) have health problems at that age?

Old guys with health problems... 99% of them never used steroids. Or tried living a healthy gym focused life.

The Dbol eventually screws up your heart.  How many heart surgeries did Arnold have?  Ric was on gear for a long time, all through the 70's and 80's when he was training at Gold's and World Gym.  He had congestive heart failure a few years ago and almost died... has to take lasix everyday.  He has edema and reoccurring infections in his legs.  Sepsis is no joke.

Yes, 76 is old. Never thought he was that old. No one lives in good health forever.

And Could likely have an Arse Injected Death Sentence from His “Acting Career”
