for 15 minutes he did look great .... He was 100% certain he was going to replace Arnold and the popular Weider's principles/methods " (for 15 good minutes) lol but when Arnold, being retired 5 years and 3 other bodybuilders placed ahead of him in Sydney.... He showed what he really was made of, Mike was never a people's champ nor a victim of the powers that be", So from October 5th on instead of redemption or coming back stronger, he just got lazier as he got older by working out less and less until he gave up on bodybuilding altogether. Like he gave up college, the Airforce, writing for Weider, was smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day, attending HIV meetings, sniffing white lines ,having his rent covered by a pinga lord, In the end he gave up on life altogether. The guy was a total failure.
WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
Before their death a video of them talking while Mike taking a smoke break, a random girl walks by and Ray says “I can’t get any girls”
Both died with no kids or wife, alone
Mentzer shouldn’t have stopped competing, he was mentally weak and the 1980 O broke him and he never recovered
And to rub more salt into the wound, he got to see Arnold take over the action genre in Hollywood, marry a Kennedy, and became filthy rich and famous all while Mike and Ray were living in an apt in a seedy area in LA
