Did you know? Pumping Iron....
« on: February 24, 2010, 01:01:09 PM »
did you know that the week pumping iron came out in the theatres matty ferrigno sued the pumping iron crew because they used an unauthorized frame of  louie's sister in the dinner scene around the table.       

did you know that when pavorotti used to perform he had it in his contract that he had to be within 50 meters of a toilet. many concert promotors placed a disability toilet right onstage behind the kettledrums so mr pavorotti could relieve himself during the performance without actually leaving the stage.                                                                                                                                                

did you know that when pro wrestlers like the big show have to make potty while on planes that the stewardesses have to put up a bed sheet and mister show has to poop into a pot behind it. no way can he fit into a plane or bus toilet.

in 1969 Jim Lorimer promoted the Mr. World in Columbus. Arnold competed, beating Sergio Oliva the current Mr. Olympia. after the contest, Arnold told Jim that he was impressed with the way Jim promoted and when he retired they would partner up.

Arnold retired in 1975 and the next year he and Jim co-promoted the Mr. Olympia in Columbus. every year since, (i don't think they missed any year) they have had a contest in Columbus. in 1985 it became the Arnold classic.

As you should. I mean, I am the source for all things Arnold on Getbig.  ;)

BTW, who are you talking about as 'he took away the ability to train with him at the ASC'?

As for the whole Columbus deal... The bond between Arnold and Jim was formed in 1970 when Arnold won the Mr. World. So impressed was he with Jim's organization of the show that he wanted to partner up with him once he retired from competing. One has to assume that since Columbus, Ohio is the birthplace of that bond, if you will, is the reason the ASC is always held there.

I thought that Arnold just did away with that but that is why i would go to you for my Arnold info. I was wrong.

I remember reading about Arnold competing in Columbus, Ohio and well, i really, really, really, really hate going to that city for ANYTHING

1969? Arnold won the Mr. World in 1970 and never beat Sergio till then.

And the 1st annual Arnold Classic was until 1989 won by Rich Gaspari.

Did you know that Jim Quinn said that Bill Smith did a skin fold measurement which showed 0.0% bodyfat on Flex Wheeler at the Gold's in Venice one week before the 93 Mr. Olympia. Jim also said Flex was the only bodybuilder to ever do that.

         that's why you hold it in a shithole, those people are so starved for entertainment that on saturday nights they go down to the park to watch grass grow. so you can imagine how exciting bodybuilding is to them.
