Allways liked Franco. He allways had that Arnoldesque aura and winner's attitude... even in Pumping Iron you could sense that there are Arnold and Franco and the rest... no one even came close...
Sweet quote from link above:
"Not to sound gay, but I really like how Arnie and Franco became good friends and are so close like bothers even to this day.. and all because of bodybuilding. There was a really cool environment and comradery back then which I wish still existed today. What I would have given to be training in the 70’s!! Oh, how I envy you John Romano"
