Goneaway you really got it bad for arnold don't ya mate? All the stuff you said aboiut charisma sucess in bodybuilding and occasional slipups is right out of the international arnold handbook. written by weider franco and arnold himslef.
As for butler and gaines I don't know much about gaines but that george butler was just another fag fan on the fringes of hollywood probably thought it was christmas when he ran into arnold.
As for pumping iron being taken seriously and doing anything for bodybuilding fuck right off will ya. take for example the scene where that idiot girl standsthere listening intently while arnold compares gettingf a muscle pump to shooting your load. Shite like that will always drop bodybuildings image right back into the stone age.
Michalik is a clown. I saw him in onbe of those documentary progs here in britain and it was fuckin terrible. I dont know which was worese, him surounding himself with brainless hangers-on or his poacher turned gamekeeper monologue railing against gear use. He was like just another fuckwit who acted up as soon as the camera rolled.
Another laugh out loud moment was him claiming to have won the america clean, then and onluy then was he an 'idiot' and used steroids. Kiss my ass steve-o!
And lastly, arnolds legend beginning with penniless bodybuilder comes to america. He didnt get anywhere by being charming. anyone with half a brain male or femal e would scoff at his feeding america its own bulsshit about the american dream. his charm was no such ything. it woulkd only work on some slavish girly twat who already fell in love with him.
Do you fall into that slot goneaway? I hope not mate.
