Bodybuilding's Dynamic Duo, Arnold and Franco, will be on stage together again with Arnold presenting his best friend, Franco, with the Lifetime Achievement Award tonight at the Finals! Should be a real treat to see this...

You've gotta believe Franco is gonna try to OWN Arnold on stage tonight with a story or two.

Should be fun, but what did Columbu do to deserve this award? Schwarzie already rewarded him for life by having him brought to America and then helping him steal the Olympia in '81.

What has Columbu done for BB in the last few decades? This is just two buddies continuing the love-fest.

It helps to be Arnie.

I have to admit, as much as I loved to see Arnold and Franco on stage together, I'm not sure why Franco was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Kinda like why he was award the 1981 Mr. Olympia. Oh wait...Arnold!

Unfortunately, There can be only one Arnie.

But if you show/have the same characteristics as Arnie, you can go places without Arnie's help.

You could even become governor in a foreign country where you cannot even speak their tongue fluently.

Arnold calling Franco the 'brother I never had...'

Talk about throwing Meinhard under the bus!

pumpster · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2009, 06:54:03 PM »

Arnold has never had any loyalties to anyone, Columbu's the same guy he called his dog in Pumping Iron.

Yep. Meinhard's story is quite tragic and on top of that everyone has forgotten him.

He's been quoted many time as saying to 'move on' and 'stay hungry'.

I wonder if Patrick (Arnold's nephew) was there this year again and heard Arnold calling Franco, the 'brother I never had...'

I missed the webcast and aren't gonna bother downloading it. What was the quip that Franco made about Arnold? I saw people mentioning it in the webcast thread - about how Arnold was making jokes about Franco as usual and Franco having the last word. Can someone kindly say what was said?

When Arnold presented Franco the award (glass plate) it looked like he was shoving it into Franco as if he was trying to make Franco fall over. Franco laughed and said something like, 'You're pushing me...' and went along with it and acted like he was gonna fall back.

Arnold made a comment about Franco's height at which time Franco tried to stand on a bottom portion of the podium to make himself look taller next to Arnold.

During Franco's speech he made some kind of correlation joke between Arnold's height and California. He also went on to say he had stories after stories he can tell about he and Arnold. Everyone cheered him on as if to tell some, but Franco left it at that...
