Lou Ferrigno interview now online

[Moosejay]

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.

I never saw Waller in person but didn't get impressed by him in PI or in the mags either. Thought he'd be more impressive in person, but I guess not. Thought Katz was much bigger than him.

It's interesting that Lou sidestepped the question about Lurie. Didn't Dan Lurie mentor him before Weider snatched him?  If Robson had asked some off-the-wall questions designed to catch Lou off guard this interview would have been interesting. Instead the standard BB interview questions were asked - C'mon Robson turn up the heat.  Why don't you throw nassers book in the trash and start one on Lou?. That would sell much better than anything nasser ever put out.

No biggie. I've done it too.

No biggie. I've done it too. 

Amazes me that anyone would actually pay for his autograph

Amazes me that he compares himself to the caliber of Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger as an excuse for his fee for an autograph.

Lou really showed good humility there, I was surprised.

The 94 video looks off as the background is from the 93 O!

[Special Ed]

I've sat and watched people ask Lou for a photo op or autograph quite a bit and about half the time the person walks away in disgust. The other half are so caught off-guard by his request for cash that they begin stuttering and fumbling for their wallets so as not to be "embarrassed" that they can't "afford" a photo with a man whose Q-rating has been surpassed by Derek Anthony and Gregg Valentino -- two guys who would NEVER charge for a photo.

Lou is a little 'touched' IMO

  [Q] Tell me about your relationship with Joe Weider. Have you kept in contact with him?
 
  "Well, Joe is like the father I never had."



  Ouch.

Lou is being honest there, Joe used to feel him up and abuse him in a much better way than Matty had done previously.

[Purge_WTF]

  In all seriousness--did Matty abuse Lou? Looking at Pumping Iron, he was obviously domineering, but was there more to it?

Holy fucking shit that was funny.

[Triple-H_2005]

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

I don't think he would have "beaten" Robby.  Zane didn't "beat" Robby either.
Franco Didn't "beat" Padilla & Platz.

Jay didn't "beat" Martinez or Wolf.

Lou would have won multibpe Olympias because he was next in line to be Weider's poster boy.

Lou is an ass, but the fact remains that at his peak, with Weider running the show, Lou would have been a multiple O winner.

Arnold states that Lou would have been unbeatable if he trained the way Arnold did:

BTW, check out Lou's garden hose veins in his biceps at 1 minute and change. Put Ronnie to shame and Lou had one of the best chest's of ALL TIME. FACT.
