The thing that gets me is that Mentzer was fifth. It's not like he could claim first place. Arnold at 80% was still better than the rest there. If he arrived at his 1975, 74 or 73 condition we wouldn't be having this conversation cause no one would be remotely close. If anyone has a gripe it would be second place Chris Dickerson.
Better yet if Arnold was a new guy that year, he would have won it with zero drama . think about it ? most whining is centered om him not being as good as previous years .....
Arnold disrespected his competition? Yes
Was the contest fixed? It sure looks like it was ..... at least I honestly think so
was Arnold still the best man on stage that Oct 4th 1980? yes
Does Arnold acts like if the 1980 Olympia never happened? yes
Thats why I love to get my hands on the CBS footage remastered
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHh Sydney
