Lets face it, if they had the Master Olympia again and Ronnie competed in it, it would brings more interest than every show exept the Olympia and the ASC

Promoters should take that in condideration

Bob Chickerrillo would wipe the floor with him, too much risk involving Ronnie

The age would have to be moved up to 50 and over. With guys like chic, coleman, tony freeman, and a handful of others over 40 who could still be competative at the regular olympia, it would make no sense to continue the masters as an over 40 contest. They would also need to hold it the same weekend as the olympia, because you're just not gonna draw that big of a crowd if its a show all on its own.

I think even if it was held on its own it would draw a crowd

Wrong, people arent going to take a weekend vacation somewhere to watch that show. The younder crowd that is the target market of the supplement companies will have less interest in this show than a regular one which will mean less sponsors. Great sentiment, shitty idea bra.

Well it always interested me, i would like to see it

No-one's gonna bring that show back now just because Ronnie qualifies for it.

Hell, lets have an over 60's Olympia and get Arnold to compete again!

Totally agre with you, 40 years is not old anymore, todays 40 is like 30 in the 80`s.

If the Masters Olympia did come back it would give most pros who are in there fortys a chance wining the masters Olympia.

Ronnie Coleman, Toney Freeman, Troy Alves, and possibly Will Harris.

Many good pro's over 40!

hell vince Taylor is 51! or 52...he can kill em all!
then theres :

Alves
Ronnie
Freeman
Milos
i think Cormier (soon will be 40)
Bob Chick
Rusty Jeffers
Strydom
etc...

just throw this on to any other show...like Europa has the 202 class...

NY PRO can have the masters show attached to it...sponsors get extra visibilty, having their names on the stage for an extra 2 hours of showtime...
plus alot of old-school people who dont care for the new state of bodybuilding might come out from under their rocks to see some of the old favorites....etc. you never know.

I'd pay to see some of them compete. Seriously though, i think if they bought it back, it could be pretty popular.

They should bring it back, but it can't be a stand alone event, sorry Stav

Will harris is too old to compete in the masters shows.
