Arnold was no where near his best in 1980 and still dominated.
Just shows how bad the lineup was in the late 70's and early 80's.

Funny how the crybaby losers like Coe and methzer never said anything against the judges at the athletes meeting before the contest when Bill Pearl asked them. No one challenged Arnold for a rematch with different judges either. All they did was to moan, complain and boycott. Neither Boyer nor methzer beat Dickerson or Zane either. Sore losers.

The top 3 guys in 1980 all won Olympias in other years while the ones that cried the most, namely methzer and Coe never did and it wasn't a coincidence.
Certainly it wasn't Arnold's fault that they lost to Dickerson and Zane at this contest, that they NEVER beat Zane in their careers and that they NEVER won a single Olympia even though they competed in the easiest era to do so.
Imagine a scenario in which Arnold lost. Then Dickerson would've won and Coe and Mentzer still wouldn't have placed it the top 2. But then Arnold would've been pissed off, he would've wanted a revange and guess what would've happened the next year? They actually boycotted the next Olympia cause they weren't sure Arnold would not come for more...

CBS Sports filmed the controversial 1980 Mr. Olympia with a full crew in Sydney, Australia, but ultimately shelved the footage, which was never aired or edited. The footage is widely considered hidden rather than lost, with reports that it was never officially produced because Arnold Schwarzenegger's victory was viewed as controversial.
