The Olympia needs restructuring! It is tired and boring!

[New Hank Wood]

The Olympia format is tired and boring.  It is in desperate need of restructuring.

Each and every year the crowds are down.  Jesus Christ, they can't even fill an auditorium that only seats 5000.  Yes, this so called world event can't get bums on seats.

Why are the crowds staying away in droves?  People feel embarrassed to be associated with an event that panders to the homosexuals, freaks, losers and dirtbags.

This industry needs an image shift if they want to improve patronage at The Olympia.  Firstly, they must ban the thong and the heavy dependance on drugs etc. etc

[marcus]

Yes the sparkly pink thongs hiked up through glutes is sick. Bring back posing trunks.

[Quickerblade]

I agree with Hank.
Every year the numbers spiral down, the guts are common, bring back the briefs atleast and ban the thong.

[marcus]

Hank do you feel the crowds would be bigger and the "sport" would be better received if it was marketed as a freak show competition instead?

Hey Hank, is it true the expo "holds up" the AC and O from goin' down ?

I agrees, something needs to be done to revive the Olympia "condition".

The 1988 Mr O remains a standout, absolutely amazing.

[roc]

hank you got it right this time.

[Mars]

the female bodybuilders should appear for the fire squad, theres some cleanage to be done.

[New Hank Wood]

There is no more creativity and vision left.  The Olympia is a sad a pathetic joke. 

Look at the appalling ticket sales.  Gee, giving away tickets is evidence that the organisers will do anything to make this small auditorium look full.

It is time to have a total rethink of the Olympia system. 

Surely the diminishing crowds is a calling card that something is wrong.

Again, the homosexuals and nuffies may be attracted to this sport, however, the organisers must again ask themselves -'is this the demographic they want to take with them into future Olympias!?!'

[Quickerblade]

I say just get rid of it, it contributes nothing to society.

on the other hand

[MuscleMcMannus]

If you keep pushing everyone to look like Ronnie Coleman what do you expect?  Like I've said before Wolf has the most unique and in my opinion best put together physique.  He'd be a great anomaly to push the sport and O into a new direction.  Genetics play a huge role in BBing.  That's why you don't see many top asians and arabs up on stage.  If bodybuilding truly reflects a worldwide community it needs to start embracing that and change the judging to relfect it.  Otherwise you're going to have the same tired ass competitors year after year.

The same crap you are talking about Wolf is what people were saying about Jay bringing bbing around and people would love him as O.  Now...the show is even sadder with him.  They probably need to move it overseas every other year.  A good idea would be to have it in Germany next yr.  Maybe the Dom Repub with Vic being a top dog and all.

Maybe you have a point.  But Jay has a shit physique, I've never liked him as an O.  Hell I think Dorian had a complete SHIT physique.  Blocky, ugly, tiny biceps.  And that's a great idea.  Since it's a world affair it should be held in different countries.  Hell like I was asking fattiepanda why don't we see more Asians and Arabs in bodybuilding?  Maybe the judging should start to reflect and embrace some of the things that other competitors bring to the stage instead of pure size.  Get rid of the posing thongs and bring back posing shorts/boy shorts who really cares about staring at a man's striated glutes except homos, women sure as hell don't care........as if there are that many women IFBB fans anyways.  But obviously the IFBB is run by a bunch of closet homos.  There are lots of things the IFBB could do to legitimize the sport and bring back fans.  But as long as homos and freaks run the show it will always be that......a freak show.

you mean have a best arab, asian, white, black?  how racist can you be?

also what would happen to kevin levrone who is half white/black should he just be killed for being unpure hitlermcmannus?

[New Hank Wood]

Do 'the powers that be' understand that the heterosexual fan base are sickened by the 'total homo-sexualisation of the sport'?!? 

Yes, the Olympia has atrocious patronage. Why?  Well, people don't want to associated with such an overtly gay-affair!

Year after year the numbers fall.  Year after year we see the queers, freaks, fags and retards sitting in the auditorium snapping pics at the striated glutes. Salivating fans yelling ''more, more'' when a Pro's butt-cheek is inadvertently revealed?

Time to clean up this sport.  Time to restore dignity and respect to what is now a sordid homo-erotic freak show!

No dignity in shooting hormones in your ass, no integrity either..the truth is just dont watch it, dont buy magazines.
When there pockets get empty they will change, but if the freaks and fags are paying and are happy nothing will change, bodybuilding like everything is all bout money and its all about drugs and shady people, what a "Sport"

[New Hank Wood]

Year after year we are let down by the Olympia.

Yes, another year, another meaningless title.  Another embarrassing speech by a semi illiterate drug abuser.

What does it mean to win a Mr. O? 

-Well, for starters it demonstrates you are committed to (1) using large amounts of illegal substances, (2)have no problem with syringes or wearing thongs and (3) enjoy parading your striated glutes to an audience of fags and retards!

Oh, such a noble and respected pursuit!

[Rampage]

opinions on improving mayybe



1) I dunno if the competitors in the top5/6 walk off after they recieve their award.I say have them recieve it and WAIT on the stage on either side and wit till the MR O is announced and congratulate the guy.theres something wrong with only 2people up there , its wayyy too quiet



2) After the winner is announced , he should do his posing routine once again for the fans.Or just play his song and let him wing it , and  go out into the audience and what not.Rvel in your limelight a bit


Im actually surprisssed that (2) hasnt already been a pat of the show.Idols does it , and thats successful


Atleast these give the shows a bit more sizzle at the end , where it normally tends to fall flat

Your on a campaig to dimish the Mr.Olympia title because you could never win it, and it was your life long pursuit. Your a sad, pathetic, SHORT, and now FAT little man. But hey, at least the guys over at MD let you have a little segment on their radio show 

[New Hank Wood]

Why are the fans staying away in droves? 

Why are the heterosexuals turning their backs on this freak show?

But most importantly, why is the homosexual fan base growing exponentially each and every year?

- I lament; as long as the industry continues rewarding the steroid abusers, dealers, g4p entrepreneur's and the felons, we are not going to see a fundamental change to this 'corrupt circus' anytime soon!

[bigdumbbell]

maybe if hank got some dick more often he wouldnt be attacking homosexuality as much

[Earl1972]

"hank" could be shawn, other than calling him short he always said nice things about him

shawn often said it was his destiny to win the O, the fact that he didn't may have left him as angry and bitter as "hank"

YOUr right ! They should have rewarded Sean ray the olympia! Those bastards !

Aint that right, "Hank" ?

 

[New Hank Wood]

The trustees of the Olympia must work to widen the appeal of this 'world event'.

Appealing to such isolated groups as the homosexuals and losers is an insular strategy; which will only have disasterous results further down the track.

The sport must work in partnership with other agencies to broaden its appeal.  

Failing to address the markets concern will see this industry become more irrelevant as the years pass!

[Earl1972]

shawn often talked about working to "widen the appeal" of bodybuilding too

[tbombz]

It all started when they gave Dorian the Olympia over Sean Ray.
