sorry about that, I actually meant 92.  If I remember right Edgar showed up in great shape at the 93 USA's but had to pull out due to dehydration...I don't remember if he made it through pre judging or what but I think that was the last time he really nailed his conditioning.

No, he had beef with Craiggers. He and Craig were going back and forth in the mags. It seemed that he was the type Craig didn't want to sucker punch..He was mad that Craig won his pro card over him. Craig did have a point that Edgar  was not at his best conditioning,  said he had a thick skin look.

Did Mendenhall have some mental problems that caused him to give up bodybuilding? I think I read something about panic anxiety from steroids?

Called Rachael McLish.

All three should have been Pros, but Rory was incredible could never quite peak for a show and carried 280 at about 6' tall in the offseason with a small waist and incredible taper.

Yeah id go with Mendenhall and Jeff King.

Mendenhall probably had some of the best genetics ever.
No doubt about it...

"The story goes that Weider talked to Jeff about signing him up to a contract but then told him that first he would have to win the NPC Nationals as well as the IFBB Mr. Universe.

Jeff explained to him that he had won the AAU and NABBA versions of those titles which by the way were very prestigous back then,but Weider insisted and Jeff told him to get lost.........otherwise King would more than likely be a household name today. "

This was Posted a while back by Wes ... this is the Story that I, too, heard regarding Jeff King. Sad really. He had A LOT of Potential !

Mendenhall was WIDE, low insertions, long full muscle bellies.  Can you say thigh sweep, calves, tiny joints.  Alas, he never equalled his 82 conditioning to go with the size he had when he took second to Strydom at the Nationals.  He dwarfed Gary, which is a hard thing to do.  He also had no weak bodyparts.
