Not only did Arnold beat mentzers weak ass but the 1981 version of Franco would've too.

If Mike's tried his finger-pointing 'tough guy" stunt that he pulled in Sydney, Franco would've obliterated him.

Thats why mike walked away in shame. He new he just wasn't good enough.

Unable to stand on his own convictions mentzer tried to persuade zane, coe and others to 'quit' also. They joined mike at first. But once they saw what a loser he was, they distanced themselves from the stench of hobo mike. They quietly returned to the IFBB, turning the other cheek when mike was disgracing himself in the gutter outside of Golds gym, flopping around like a dying fish...... Figures hes your idol.

Around the time mike was finally institutionalized, he would repeatedly accuse Arnold,  Paul Graham and the Weiders of being gimmicks. It was the most shocking and flagrant sign of his mental deterioration.

Maybe he is the reincarnated Mentzer still crying about losing the Olympia in his new shitty life.

Always a different perspective with rare/new pictures.....  Even in the so called weak pose (lat spread) Arnold looks the man to beat ....
Goes to show you if he was a stranger/no name pro, no one would have had a problem/pain with him taking the Sandow





WOOOSHHHHH
Great rare shots from the 1980 Mr.O   ARNIE1947

The only takeway I have from the 1980 Olympia is that Roger Walker got screwed over.

Explain.

His physique was worthy of a top 3. He is on the left in the first two pics. Second behind Arnold in the third. He ended up getting sixth. Maybe Vince Basile can comment since he was there.

The only one who was bigger than Arnold. Looked a week or so off in conditioning so that has to be why he placed so poorly.
