Can this be made/reenactment with AI ?  It’d be so cool. 

Unless the CBS unreleased footage has the whole confrontation on film.

Mike said that everyone was surprised when he raised his voice, that Arnold sat down.

Arnold sat down and his legs crossed... and avoided making eye contact.

Game over.

Arnold said he was never going to get in a fight with mentzer, he was there to win a competition thats all. And what would they really be fighting over, mentzer couldn't handle arnolds words, sticks and stones!

Great point. Mentzer made Arnold sit down. Congratulations.  Arnold made Mike melt down and never recover.

Mentzer was minding his own business and Arnold started insulting him. Mike had the right to stand up for himself.


I bet that Ferrigno and Columbu both secretly enjoyed that event. Arnold was disrespectful towards both of them in Pumping Iron.

Found a few more photos that I took in 1980. Here is a comparison that shows the top guys standing relaxed. An argument can be made that Mike looks the best here. We have to remember that the judges were selected by Ben Weider and Paul Graham and there were problems with the judging process and the qualifications of some of the judges.
