WEHT - Porter Cottrell
« on: August 27, 2012, 07:03:44 AM »
He tore it up after turning pro at the same Nationals as Levrone. Won or placed in a bunch of shows. Did well at the 94 Olympia too. Was a firefighter in Kentucky (had that pretty cool cover of Flex in front of the fire engine in the 90s). Good symmetry...not a freak.

Then, 2000 hits and he's gone. Whatever happened to Porter?

I heard he decided to do something constructive with his life.

somebody will know better but I remember he retired after Benaziza's death.
I read in Musclemag at the time that he was trying to keep Momo alive in his hotel room with other people, but without success.

That was Brisebois who hung it up (he and Momo were tight). But you're right...Porter was there too and did the CPR as Momo puked up water and died in the hotel. But Momo croaked in 92, I think. And Porter retired in 1999.

Porter had said that he'd never do the Grand Prix again after he saw Momo died in front of him.  Sure enough, he was back at it again a couple of years later.  And like it was said above, went on competing for quite a few years.  He was known for having a gigantic belly when offseason.  Would be curious to see what he looks like after all these years.

The personification of the "Jacked Fireman"...

Yet another who held down a job while competing, and looked better than today's pros.

If the guys today cut their bodyweight by 10%, the look would be a lot more similar.
