every time this thread comes up i think of shawn ray

it was ridiculous for him to ever place above flex, cormier, or Mr. Levrone

i can't believe anybody thinks he should've been Mr. Olympia

I agree.
He was a shrimp.

I don't think Doz was overrated necessarily - he is symbolic of the new era after Haney. I do think Doz overstayed his welcome and was arguably handed some 'gifts'.

Marko Savolainen?

He competed only a few times but looked great around 97-98.. Then he went into permabulk mode and we all know the rest.

Paco Batista
His legs were unreal, though. He lived up to the hype. He just didn't place well or ever become relevant or profitable.

I don't think there was ever 'hype' around Paco, only controversy.

he came out of nowhere with big crazy hard and separated legs, a long torso, strange chest that was flat with very obvious gyno, and delts that were wayyyyyy over swollen with oil.

there was never hype.. just everybody thinking 'what.. the.. fuck.. is.. that?'

guys like Jp fux, Marko,Fedrov, hell, even Markus Ruhl were like the Great White Hype's... guys that were supposed to pick up where dorian left off.

Yeah, basically all inferior to Ronnie Coleman and (at the time) Jay Cutler, therefore unable to dethrone either one and carry over from Dorian. No surprise about their lack of impact in the sport and quit exits.
