actually I think Shawn should have won one or two Olympias as well, but I think he was his own worst enemy and wasn't well liked by the judges...I think people did not like Shawn because they were jealous of his big contract with Weider and because he used to be so vain about himself...

I was at the 2001 Olympia in Vegas and at the athletes press conference, Shawn got into a argument with one of the judges of the show because he felt his physique wasn't getting its due.....she proceeded to tell Shawn that "your physique is the same...it hasn't changed in years"..this led to Shawn saying "see?..I told you that the judges are biased against me! she's already judged me before the show has even started."

that judge was then removed from the panel..Shawn came in fourth in the Olympia but should have been third behind Ronnie and Jay from what I saw....This led Shawn to resent bodybuilding and to retire since he felt he should have been second due to Jay testing positive for diuretics which was banned at the time and he felt that Jay was supposed to be disqualified because of the ban...but Jay threatened to sue and was allowed to keep his second place placing which robbed Shawn of the second place finish and the bigger prize money

That same judge was the judge that Kamali thanked for his pro card. And that same judge is the one that died a few yrs after the 2001 Olympia.

He could actually fit in a decent suit and look normal...speaking of which, he had a blue striped tie at the 2000 or 2001 Mr. O that I'm still trying to find the brand of...

  Shawn Ray is my favorite bodybuilder of all time.  Many would agree that he should have won at least one, if not more Olympias.  I remember actually believing that I could get as big as him by eating peanut-butter, honey, and bananna sandwiches like he used to say in Flex  ;D  He is what bodybuilding was, and should still be about:  Size, symmetry, and conditioning.  Who is your favorite bodybuilder?  Please include a decent photo.  You can only pick one  8)

I normally don't get into the "uncrowned" routine. But, if there's one Olympia where I believe Ray got robbed, it's 1994. NO WAY, he should have lost to a water-logged, one-armed, wide-wasted Yates.

When I think bodybuilder, I think Shawn Ray. Coleman and the rest are not real bodybuilders ... they have thick waists and bloated preggo bellies and many other imperfections.

S. Ray is without question......one of the top 5 best bbers of all time......you won't find many people that will argue with that statement......These blokes today are just not on par with what bbing is all about.....size, shape, balance and symmetry. Shawn had all those attributes in spades!!! It is a crying shame that man never won an Olympia title......The Sandow should have been his on a few occasions.

shawn is overrated

mostly competed once a year so it was easier to peak for the olympia

only won 2 shows

never should've been above 4th place in the 90's

again I believe that Shawn was robbed because that was their way of keeping him in his place....people didn't like Shawn because of his ego....

There is no way that Shawn, Levrone, nor Wheeler didn't win ANY Olympias
