Then, got as far as "find out how he overcame adversity" and closed the window.

Without reading it, I bet it's the same recycled bullshit we've heard before.

How much did he charge you to interview him?

20 bucks every time he looked at him.

If I didn't go into the movie business I think I could have won the Olympia six or seven times depending on how long I was hungry because I just knew that if I was serious about my training I could have held the title for as long as I wanted to.

Hahahahahaha ! Oh brother

Enjoy...

Thanks for posting,

but after reading brutally honest interviews like Nasser's...this is just boring, repetitive BS

And on top of that, any interview with a pro that does not go into what it REALLY means to be a pro is just a waste of time...

I applaud the interviewer for TRYING to get him to talk about the drugs though:

"[ Q ] Clearly there is a big difference between the competitors of today and those of yesteryear. Obviously we have seen an improvement in training, nutrition and drugs. Do you feel the guys of today have added pressure to perform and to do well? Are they taking more risks in your view?"

lol...lou wasn't even gonna touch the drug issue

overall...very boring

Actually, with Arnold's retirement, he probably could and would have.

Well think about it for a second, Zane, Franco, Samir and Chris Dickerson won the O the years Lou would be at his peak.

Lou would crush Franco, hands down-that would be 2 Mr. "O" wins,

Lou had the potential to beat Zane-if he came in the condition he was in for the Hercules movie- that could be 1-3 more Mr. "O" wins

Lou would crush Dickerson-that would be another Mr. "O" win

Lou would probably beat Samir-another Mr. "O" win.

So that would be 5-7 Mr. "O" wins from 76-83.

Haney would have crushed Lou though. So after 83 Lou would have been history.

So I thinK Lou could have easily won ther "O" multiple times.

no fuccking way, he was nowhere near as good as Waller, Robby, Zane, Callender, Szkalak, etc.

Lou would crush Waller, Callender, Robby and Sczkalak, and he had the potential to beat Zane.

hahahahhahahahaa, you're high as a kite if you think he would have beaten Robby Robinson.

Moosejay · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2008, 04:13:14 PM »

With a couple more years detail, development, and maturity...and with Robby's penchant for coming into the O out of shape, it could have been a reality.

Can I assume there's no question about how badly one must need money to charge 8-year olds $20 for a photo? Or have one's wife run around the Expo saying "I'm Lou Ferrigno's wife. Can we have a box of your product?"

Does his wife actually do that???

didnt arnold himself say something along the lines that lou could've won multiple times?

I was thinking that as well when I read the Lou Ferringo interview.Lou wining the Olympia six or seven times what fat load of bull shit.I wonder how much Lou charged bodybuilding.com to interview the jerk.

onlyme · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2008, 05:29:39 PM »

I did not like the Waller looked at all. He just did not impress me and I used to hang around him once in awhile. I have told a couple good stories about Kenny but I never liked the way he looked. Nothing stuck out on him. I think Lou would have done very well if he stuck with it. He had the size and he was young. Robby was awesome but I don't think Weider would have had him winning the big one. Roy Callendar was unreal in size. One thick dude in person. his arms were awesome but sure about Olympia. Kal looked great to. He was very funny in the gym. He would go around the gym with a small pad of paper and pencil and try to draw the equipment in the gym and was going to make his own. When Joe would walk by he would hide it.

Don't forget that Lou sued his own brother over some fitness equipment company name....
