Mishko didn't win pro status just because he came in first place at some show.
It was much after the fact he was phone calling & begging with the powers to be that he deserved pro status because of it.
General rumor was that alot of guys didn't respect mishko because his pro status was earned through phone calls, back doors, & knee dropping actions.
He was always embarrassed of his 17" arms. The 'mind' who could help anyone & was a guru in his own world decided to use synthol.
Almost killed himself even doing it. 
Bob on the other hand...I don't always agree with his stand...but I have more respect for. He won at the USA's in a time when it was probably at the all time hardest to achieve a win. I would bet a million dollars (if I had it) that if Mishko was to try the same during the time, he would have never won.
I will give props where props are due....Mishko did back in the day probably had one of the best leg separation & ab development. Other than that...his mouth (not his mind) will be what he goes down in history being remembered for.
