Zane and arnold were pretty close, these "he said, she said" stories, are magazine propaganda
Obviously the guys were upset with 80 and 81, its obvious what happened, but arnold sells, that's what weider is all about, the mr olympia contest was created by the weiders towards an end, a marketing, money-making end for themselves
Boyer coe actually thought he was going to be mr olympia, mentzer was also sure he himself was the clear winner, especially with all the mags building him up after 79, and then zane got injured, but out of nowhere the blue eyed boy comes back, and "oh fuck!" Shattered dreams...
