Seems to me from that video that Ronnie has a lot of patriotism for the USA. The Challenge Round was a big change and I'm not sure if the Olympia was the right show to implement it in and the concept was short-lived.
Did anyone here go to an Olympia at the Mandalay Bay? I heard it was better when the expo was in the hotel and it makes sense that fans would like it more when they can go trick or treating and can drop their supplements off in the hotel and walk right back and get more.
But to answer the original question, I don't think that Ronnie was worried in his career and in fact, he told Lonnie Teper at the 2005 Olympia afterparty that he wanted to go for 10 Sandows.
