The 1997 O was his last show and he placed 11th :-\ He looks terrific 2 days out though.

Yeah, he didn't do good at all in the O....but lets face it, you could flip flop almost anyone in the top 10-they are that close........

I have the 1997 Olympia and Mike really looks bad in it.  Looks like he spilled over.

One of my favorite bodybuilders.  Wish he didn't get sick so early in his career.

Mike came to our gym a few times to do some Q and A's during the high time of his career. There really aint BIG enuf words to describe how he looked in person. He was a monster. He is still in Columbus and seems to be doing very well for himself training people. As for the wife I dont know?

 My buddy moved to Columbus shortly before Mike got sick to train with him. He said he is still very lean and vascular now just no where near the Freak he was. Hands down one of my favs.
