'The Claims' of El Nobody Vs. 'The Truth':
-Claims to possess multiple college degrees. Yet, continues to produce semi illiterate diatribes (Lee Priest style).
That's actually true, but I give Nasser some leeway there; English isn't his first language.
-Claims to be super wealthy. Yet, is forced to auction off his stained and used underwear on eBay.
Does he actually claim to be
that rich?
In any case, selling his posing trunks doesn't mean he's
not doing well. He could just be greedy.
-Claims to be the uncrowned Mr Olympia. Yet, produces a hideous gut-bloated-package with oil filled shoulders.
I agree with this. As I've said numerous times here, my daddy, brothers, mom and I went to several of the "Nasser" Olympias. (Mama only went to one, in 1995/the Atlanta show. My dad and brothers are all bodybuilders-slash-powerlifters, so she went for their sake ... not to mention that, in those days, she was afraid some "musclehead" would try to have his way with me :lol: Noah Steere infused with three Bill Kazmeier's strength wouldn't have gotten by my siblings
(I'm not insinuating that any one of my brothers is as strong as Bill. We all love Bill. But I will say they were very protective of me at that age ... made dating hard to say the least
.))
Every time I saw Nasser in those years, I was amazed. He, per Getbig perlance, owned Dorian from the front in 1996 (except for the front lat spread).
But from the sides and rear ... goodnight, Irene.
That's to say nothing of Nasser's later -- and blatantly obvious -- oil use. I think he was oil-free at the 1995 Olympia, at which I honestly think he should've been second. Kevin Levrone looked great but he was not as good as he was in any 1994 show.
1996 WAS close, in my opinion ... even if you overlook Nasser's failed drug test. Dorian was smaller, but his strengths still carried the day. He was simply more complete than Nasser that day/night.
1997 was not as close. I guess Nasser, in an effort to skirt the drug testing, didn't come in as "dry." He was heavier, in spite of what idiots on the Olympia videos will tell you; and if he actually wasn't, he sure looked bigger, not to mention more water-logged. His rear-double biceps went from much-improved the year before to ... well.
The only reason I would entertain the idea of Dorian losing the 1997 Olympia would be his ugly wide obliques and distended gut. Ronnie certainly won under similar circumstances, but that's irrelevant: what matters is whether or not Dorian's relaxed midsection should've cost him against Nasser and Shawn Ray.
But as I said, Nasser was not much better off. Dorian's ugly stomach notwithstanding, he was still dry and shredded. He won most of the compulsories against Nasser and Shawn, to say nothing of making the latter look like a child when the two stood opposite one another.
-Claims to be a modern day Casanova. Yet, has a history of unstable relationships, domestic viloence and has inability to make a family.
We have a few
gimmicks illustrious posters who think Nasser was justified in beating his women; e.g., "Sharma."
I saw a picture of Nasser hugging a woman in a home-type setting; you could see either his or her pack of Parliament Lights in the background. Assuming Nasser doesn't smoke, perhaps Nasser was justified in beating Bisera/whoever for her cigarettes?
-Claims to have established a legacy within the sport. Yet, is remembered for mimicking the maligned Mass Monsters who have brought nothing but ridicule and disdain to the federation.
Yes and no. Nasser didn't just mimic "mass monsters"; he was one, and a legitimate one at that (even before all of the obvious oil use).
I'd also say that the so-called mass men brought more to pro bodybuilding than "ridicule and disdain." The big men still draw the biggest crowds. Look at the following Markus Ruehl has. Part of that's due to his cute-as-a-bug personality, but if he wasn't a "freak" people wouldn't cheer for him no matter what.
-Claims to have forged 'the new way' ushering in true professionalism by way of intellect and training. Yet, is the most hated of all the Pros and enjoys the friendship and solidarity of 'NO ONE' in the IFBB.
I can't really comment here. I think Nasser's smart, but these people heralding him as the smartest man in the world (and the like) are just trolling.
