I love the conspiracy theories about 1980. Especially the ones from 1980 about the CBS film crew, or George Butlers film crew. LOL!

 Turns out it was neither.  It was Paul Grahams film crew for a shitty little amateur film that no one has ever heard of other than fairly die hard fans of the sport. Hilarious.

No shit! They act like the whole world was watching on pins and needles when almost no one even knew it was going on.

Interesting in those quotes the losers come up with arnold was 60% of his best.  There's no way he was that far off, not that it mattered as again they all made the mistake of comparing him to himself!
There are still some great pics of him from 1980 that look amazing for any year.

:)

Padilla has said in numerous occasions that Arnold  at 85% was still good enough to beat anyone in 1980.  And he even said Dickerson didn’t deserved to be runner up. 

I doubt he “signed” the 1981 infamous open letter.

Arnold was awarded the Mr O not on merit... dude we all know it.
he was or is Bi-sexual & that is OK but he was up Paul Graham´s shit box  :D

and if they really did say that they are admitting that they would look like children against
a fully trained Arnold.

like Robert Kennedy (rip) said.  leave it alone.  if Arnold gets pissed off about this contest he
will get serious again and win every single pro show for the next 10 years.

Danny was always the more level headed when it came to these "controversial" contests. He was 100% right. Arnold won but barely.
