Questions for Ronnie. "Do you think you can beat Jay, Phil, Dexter, Victor, Kai or Wolf?" "Why come back if you might finish 10th?"

I know he's past his prime, yada yada...
But imagine how it would be the story of the year, and maybe the decade, if Ronnie came back after 3 years of not winning, and just destroyed everyone with the size and conditioning he used to have?
Ask Ronnie to predict the top 6 at the 2009 Mr Olympia. Don't let him escape with "everybody will do their best and we'll see where the chips fall". Let's get him to deliver a Joe Namath style of guarantee.

The only top guy Ronnie can still beat is D. Wolf and MAYBE Victor. Does Coleman need the money? Otherwise I don't get it.  |

That is the rumor.... that Ronnie Coleman, since the cancellation of the Berlin contest, will announce his comeback, and compete against everyone.
But is that a smart thing to do?

Ronnie would only do it if he thinks he will place well. He isn't stupid.

That is not necessarily true, by all accounts Ronnie is one of the more popular and marketable BB characters around. From a marketing stand point this is a gold mine. Win or lose he would some good money. Relatively speaking Ronnie is a young man and I sure that he would like to earn as much possible while he still can. Screw the legacy crap, money comes first. |

Exactly. He will make money from just competing, nevermind winning or placing. Ok, he may lose some dignity, but it's worth the money  |

Sergio Oliva returned past his prime and noone seems to care anymore the only Mr. Olympia who competed way too long was Sammir Bannout  |

And while the prize $ might not be all that great, he'll sure make a killing with his BSN contract, guest posings, etc. There's a lot greater excitement and demand as a former Mr O entering the show, compared with "a guy who retired 3 years ago" |

Ronnie has said multiple times that he doesn't see it as "tarnishing his legacy"
Other people may see it like that, but Ronnie doesn't see his legacy as precious
He loves to compete,
let him do what he loves/

i hope Ronnie got the lat fixed b/c without it the outcome will be the same or worse. Every one of his Olympia wins except 2004 (distention issues) can beat everybody on stage.

How can you say Jay is done when he only lost to Dex who showed up in an unbeatable condition he can never duplicate or better? With his freakish size back along with diarrhea induced diuretics JAY CUTLER WILL BE MR O AGAIN!!!!!! |

Maybe it’s a bit premature to write off Jay, but it isn't looking good. He was completely off in 2007 and in my opinion any version of Cutler from 2001-2006 would have still beat Dexter in 2008. If he doesn’t show improvement this year it might be over for him. |

There wasn't a "problem" on '06. He had diarrhea but after that, he cleaned house. He DOES need to cut down on guest posing (unlike most ifbber's he tries to stay in decent shape yr round to not upset promoters and fans) but that's how they get paid. |
