Weider owned Arnold like a Dime in his pocket  :D
Roger Walker was his own Man

And Arnold ended up being the greatest bodybuilder of all time ...

While Roger Walker is known for being on the same stage Arnold was once in 1980.



WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHh  10.4.80

No, he didn't, he DID NOT AGREE with Arnold winning in Sidney and was vocal about it to the point he was to boycott the following year alongside Mentzer, Boyer and Zane ....

However, oh Surprise! there he was in Columbus Ohio kissing Weiders ass and taking part of another charade with Franco Columbu winning after 5 years away with gyno and no legs and Roger Walker placing 10th lol ....



As far as a man of integrity goes, Roger is a piece of shit (Myke Tyson"s voice)





WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Go to 50:35

Roger Walker discusses the 1980 Olympia.  You will soon understand the political stunts that carried Arnold to a “victory”


He's risking a lot by talking on camera about this. Doesn't matter how many people talk about the dark side of the industry, or show proof, people still won't believe it. Gotta be frustrating for the people that got screwed over and have seen his success over the years as a result of what was done to get ahead.

1- But, who was Roger in 1980? wasn't he at the other side of the world in Australia?

2- Seems he got in Mentzer's whining wagon

3- He got carried away with crowd reaction because he was a local bodybuilder (but that's it)


4- How were Schmoes from Venice Golds interested in him anyway?
Yeah, Roger was ugly as fuck

They both definitely worked for Joe Weider. And from what I understand, they we’re friendly towards each other prior to the drama at the 1980 Olympia.

Older Roger looks now like the kind of guy that wouldn't take disrespect kindly.


Funny how all of them now say they all knew Arnold was competing weeks before the show. hmmmmmm
but back then even on the plain to Australia , they all thought Arnold was going as a commentator for CBS sports covering the event (I wonder whatever happened with that footage) lol
When Arnold was announced as a contestant hell brole lose well you know the rest

The Survivors of 1980 Olympia  should all try to get together for a well-produced documentary, with Arnold and have a friendly conversation for once and for all to look back and close that chapter ..(if possible)

If Dickerson was a bit taller and bigger from the side and his chest and arms weren't so deformed he could have won in 1980.

They had conversations alone together? Did mentzer play hide the rocket ship?
