PBW: Serge Nubret "Live from Paris" - Plus: Johnnie Jackson (Replay)

[Trev]

Any transcript of the interview??

[bic_staedtler]

Bob, I think I may know what part you're talking about.  I always wondered what Serge and Arnold said to each other too, I'm not sure but there was a part right after that I couldn't figure out...

...until I watched the DVD with english subtitles on. 

There's a part where Ed Corney mumbles something about Arnold having a bigger neck, and Arnold going "I know"...I can't remember what is said before, but check out the subtitles and I think you'll find out.

Maybe someone here knows....(where's Shawn Perrine when you need him)?

They're in the pump up room...Serge has a white robe on...Arnold comes over and says something that sounds like "bow to the giant..." and serge responds with what sounds like "nobody can take you/ touch you..."

Anyone?

[Ex Coelis]

is that Bob Bonham in the back??

1:38 min. in...

"Bow to the giant."
"No way....I can take you."

Bob, you and Dan asked Serge some interesting questions no one has ever asked him before in an interview...and Serge gave some interesting answers. You guys did a great job.

Still don't make sense...Arnold responds with "Keep looking..."

Thanks for the props...

[Chick]

Just got off the phone with Shawn Perrine...here's what we came up with:

Arnold: "Bow to the giant"

Serge: "Looks like I can take you"

Arnold: "Keep looking.."


The mystery may be solved..!

Bob, Good work. lol. Thank you Shawn. I was guessing now after watching it...I thought Arnold was kind of trying to psych him out a little bit...and Serge telling him it wasn't working...and Arnold responding by telling him to look at how good he looks...this is a great scene. These guys look fantastic...sexy.

Serge could have taken him too IF he'd not been banned from the show weeks and weeks earlier! He stopped training and then once re-instated had lost A LOT of size. Made in Montana can post the pic that made the weiders pull Serge from the show!

What? You mean the IFBB runs their shows with some political decisions / influences rather than fair ones? No way! Say it aint so!

Here I was thinking that the best man always wins 

lol

Ha ha - Indeed.

I can't believe how many times I've watched PI and I didn't notice the "bow to the giant" part! 

My best guess on what Serge says, and I know this sounds a bit odd...

Two guys speaking English with tough accents, after all....to me, Serge sounds like he's saying:

"I hope *slight pause* I can take you"

..to which Arnold replies "Keep looking".  I thought Serge must have said something along the lines of "I'm looking to take you"...some tough guy talk of the time, I'm sure...

That 'I-told-you-so' cocky look after Arnold won says it all. He was performing for the camera even then. What a showman.

No way Nubret was going to win in South Africa. A few dirty tricks by the IFBB ended his quest there.

I noticed Frank Burwash from Australia, now deceased, judging. He used to make me laugh when he said he looked for flaws and structural faults when judging. I thought judges should look for excellence.

Frank was right, you are wrong....as usual.

Judges at the pro level look for weakneses, not strengths....

You are right about one thing...Nubret was NOT going to win in South Africa...as he wasn't close to what Arnold displayed that day.

RE THE '75 OLYMPIA & WEIDER'S INTERFERENCE:-
In 1975, Serge went to S. Africa for the Olympia and when he got off the plane, he looked like this:
 

 

 

 
They saw Serge in that condition and disqualified him by making up the story that he made porn (even though he never did a porn film). A cheap shot considering Serge worked closely with Ben for 10 years--nice friend to surprise him and ban him from competing and slander his name in the media. They used the excuse that Serge was a bad role model for doing porn (he never did)...even though Arnold has posed nude for photographers--not Serge. lol.
Serge was disappointed and didn't train or eat for a couple weeks and lost 12 lbs. They saw he wasn't training and was losing weight from not eating, so the day before the competition they told him he could compete. If Serge had not come to S. Africa looking like he did in those photos, they could have given Lou 2nd place. In "Pumping Iron" they said, "Last minute competitor Serge Nubret" when they knew several months before he was competing. Arnold looked terrific and Serge has said he does not mind that he won, but the real question on everyone's mind was why was it ever necessary to ban him from competing?

Has anyone picked up the new issue of "Reps" yet?  It has a nice feature in it:
• STEVE REEVES: HIS FINAL INTERVIEW:
The original bodybuilder who successfully made the jump from the posing stage to the silver screen looks back on his Herculean career.

If I'm not mistaken there were a few pictures of Serge in there as well.  I din't read that yet I went right to the Reeves interview!  Some great pics as well. One in a million Steve was.

Peace,
Rick

[Sarcastic Deity]
