These pics don't look very good, I'll admit, but they don't do him justice at all. Anyone who has stood next him or met him recently can attest to the fact that he still looks pretty crazy especially considering the fact that he has had 3 surgeries, 2 on his back and 1 on his neck, in the past 18 months.
Also, his posing routine at the masters nationals was pretty funny - came out with typical Ronnie shades on, a silly ass FLEX string tank and smily face posing suit / shorts. He proceeded to strut around and rip his tank off like hulk did. I was there, the crowd loved it.
As far as all of this "Ruining his legacy" garbage goes - the guy has traveled the earth this year and is currently in the middle of USA tour giving his fans an opportunity to meet him, talk with him, ask him questions, take pics and sign anything they bring up to him (including a toy baby... yeah check his facebook)... I would say that is solidifying his legacy
He'll never physically be vintage Ronnie ever again, everyone including Ronnie knows that, but he continues to support the sport of bodybuilding by attending every major show, giving seminars overseas to help grow the sport internationally and giving athletes exposure in areas of low publicity that may otherwise go unknown. (Ex just sponsored a Chinese BB
