Both cats were very big... obviously. Of the two, I've seen Rory off season & still fairly tight and he was huge. I've seen Mendenhall 4 - 5 weeks after a show and he was still vascular and very big but not as big a Rory. That's the way I remember it.

Two of the best non-pros of all time.

Rory was never "fairly tight" off season, shit he was never tight in contest shape, except for the 83 Nationals.

The screencap that Coach posted is the one i took from this video of the 83 Nationals.Watch Rory pose and see the posedown and at the 4.30 mark you will see Matt and Rory relaxed in the lineup.Then make your mind up.


Yep, Rory is bigger. Check around 04:21,

Matt was not as big here as he was in other shows.

Rory was an incredible poser, one of the best I have seen.

Great era in bodybuilding. These were the guys that inspired me, Paris, Leidelmeyer, Mendenhall. I remember wanting to actually look like these guys. Can't say the same for most of the synthol, preggers out there today.

IMO the best era in bodybuilding with the early to mid 90's second before Dorian came along.

This, 91, was the best Nationals line up in HISTORY-even better than 83.

Matt Mendenhall comes on at 3:13, do NOT tell me Rory was EVER bigger than Matt in this video.

Before I even got online today Crownshep, I realized that I was thinking about Edgar Fletcher when I wrote that. Thanks for the beat-down. It seems I have an advanced case of CRAFT.

i cant get over how bad christian's sportsmanship was.

he was a tool in the 80s, but i didnt realise he was delusional. He never had legs and in this show his legs were el crap-o.

the two that beat him were placed well- in fact, dare i say it, the placings looked spot on to me.

why doesnt this happen today?!
