Lee Haney became pro in 1982 I believe. His first Mr. O (1983) he came in Third or fourth I believe and the following year he won it. Dorian became pro in 1990 (19I believe and his first Mr. O92) he came in 2nd and the following year he won it (almost won it THAT year though).
My point was that they were judged on what they brought to the table. Not on paying their dues. They both won their first Mr. O by their second Mr. O. That kind of stuff seems to be unheard of these days. It took Cutler how many years to overthrow Ronnie and how many years for anyone to overthrow Dorian. The man had to retire for that to even happen.
Actually you are wrong, first Mr o was in 91 and he he won the muscularity round over Haney and 92 was his first win. Don't worry, this actually makes your argument that much stronger, Both Lee and Dorian won their first O by a mile without any controversy, I say they didn't pay any dues, they just muscled their way in like true champions.
