Maybe if Mike did more then one set of bench for chest he might have built one.

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH   Oct 4th 1980

Going to take a minute to call Bill Pearl out on some bullshit....

He supposedly stepped down as a judge for the 80 O due to a conflict of interest as he was Dickersons trainer.

But c'mon he judged other shows with Dickerson.  And a conflict of interest doesn't apply to color commentary?

Arnold was too much of a bitch to even make eye contact with the Genius

This conflict has been the topic of debate and has grown in legend over the years... before this feud is settled it could take hundreds of years and cost thousands of lives.

What was the powder keg for such warfare?

Similar to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria kicking off world War I... The Arch Duke of Bodybuilding,  the Austrian Oak, told Mentzer that he had a big belly. This insult was the defacto assassination of Mentzer,  who never recovered and ultimately died (19 years later.)

This is a grievous matter of extreme importance. We may never peacefully resolve this aggression. Pro Mentzer rebels are assembling for a counter offensive as we speak.

Lmao!

[Pet shop boys]

When George Butler released the book Portrait of a bodybuilder was it 1990 ?
it was meant to be mainly pictures from 1980 Olympia both on and off stage...

There's anecdotes how Arnold only trashed Mentzer and asked Butler to have less 1980 Mr.O pics and more personal/family oriented photos to promote his persona outside of the gym .......Book ended up being mostly candid Pics of a downsized Arnold in Austria ......( All photos from Butler collection of course).

There's even a comment" prologue"  on that book about Mentzer and how Arnold ruined his life" or something to that effect without even mentioning Mentzer.


We'll keep investigating .... hoping HULU is not stealing precious info from this thread.



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H

Arnold hardly looks worried or remotely concerned by Mike does he.

Arnold had a Mr.Hollywood attitude since he arrived to Sydney ...

Imagine how he felt on his way back to the US with the Sandow in his bag.....

I can understand the frustration from the entire lineup.

Royalty isn't doing too well at the moment.  He's in a crisis cycle of excited delirium.  He's hallucinating and thinks everyone is Rmj. I think he's suffering an emotional breakdown.
