I know people who were there-they ALL said Tom won that show.

Others on here saw Padilla won.

Roy Callendar looked like he could have won.

ONE THING everyone SAYS-IT was FIXED and Franco was not even top 5.

One undisputed fact is that when Tom was announced third, the place erupted into BOO's an the booing did not stop until the show was over.

Platz was great, but Padilla owned all in '81!  Wow.

Zane was right, "Franco won with one arm, one leg and one bitch tit."!

Textbook example of why dweebs who place faith in IFBB judging as fair are clueless. Padilla was the best short guy in history, Callender i saw in person that year was huge, Platz looked excellent, however the imbalance was too great to win. All robbed just as others have been before and after.

I believe it, everyone loved Tom, he is one bb that could have done a lot for the sport had he stuck with it after he retired, e.g. helped promote the sport.
