IMO, that is why Kai pushes harder than everyone else.

Look at the other crop of top O guys. No offense, but they're not exactly tough as nails. Phil Heath has a computer degree and carries a louis vuitton man-purse. Jay wore the 'golden boy' moniker from minute #1.

Kai,, on the other hand, has seen some seirous shit. And that toughens one up. He's willing to go further cause it's all he had to get out of his situation. Jay could be a personal trainer tomorrow and make a good living, Phil could be a netadmin at the local law firm tomorow and do fine. Kai needs this.

I've heard this too, he was couch surfing bad, not sleeping on trains and park benches bad from my understanding. He advertised as a escort in a few alternative publications during that time too, maybe 10-12 years back.

He's had a rough life.

This is just his character, all the companies are pushing this for him, it's kind of like pro wrestling these days. I don't buy it.

I don't think J was a golden boy from day one. There were lots and lots of white big USA guys just like J around. He worked hard for it, survived, thrived, and made it.

WC, what matters is his Olympia placing and his placing won't matter because it won't be first.

Team Cutler Approved

Whatever Kai's flaws, if you have ever had it really tough, you can appreciate it./if you haven't, you won't get it. Not your fault, either, just reality.

You obviously missed his Musclemag cover back in 96...You obviously missed those ads with him "squinty eyed" looking up into the sun (golden boy).

i guess you could say he was a golden boy..but for good reason. you have to admit he was a freak. i mean how many 23yr olds do you know that looked like he did? none. he was/is a great bber. he has great width, structure(minus the waist) he has a great physique

Thats what I am saying Kai is hungrier than anybody! sucks to see him get robbed! I know cuttler will win due to being white and marketable. IFBB is somewhat racist. unless you are a half white black man or a phil heath looking black guy light toned and does not have that thug look. kai looks thuggish and I bet he could beats some serious ass if anybody fucked with him. Kai looks dope and probably should be #1 at the O. Hope he wins! I always love when the underdogs win.The man didnt have it nearly as easy as all of these other preppy bodybuilders! he reminds me of capriese murray a little and hes one of my favorites.Kai had to struggle like crazy to get where he is!

Not sure you can say that, since the Olympia has been around only three of the champs have been white Americans - Larry Scott, Frank Zane, and Jay Cutler. That's 9 out of a possible 46 Olympias.

The rest were all black and/or foreign.
