Wild that Arnold only needed such a short time to get in winning shape vs the other competitors who spent so long just getting in whatever shape they were in.
He was the master of bodybuilding.

Weider made the claim while using his face on the body of Robbie Robinson for the statue.

Sure he did & he used Arnold like everyone else, the only difference was he took a liking to Arnold  ;) & of course Arnold met all the high society of Bodybuilding Schmoes,
judges & promotors who loved Arnie  :D

Barbara Outland Arnold's girlfriend back in those days made him realise the gays liking him wasn't a bad thing as Arnold had erupted in anger about him being tricked into a posing session or something way back.   She called him down and made him realise it doesn't  make him gay that people like him.  Now you see straight celebs on the front of gay magazines, a photoshoot and article.

The main reason we are so adamant about the 1980 CBS never released footage

Is that we might see a way clearer picture of Arnold Winning the contest
and most contenders still being pissed for life because:

Arnold disrespected most of them fellow competitors
Picked his friends as judges
Acted as being above all of them and wanted two division the very same day of contest
Arnold supposedly had one judge fired after prejudging
Was told by Pearl he was behind Boyer and Dickerson during prejudging
Arnold didn't do mandatory poses as told and even had Franco on stage with a towel
They all seem to hate with guts the promoter as well.

Everyone says that the footage was hidden or bought by Arnold or even destroyed because was evident how rigged or too contentious for television....  really???

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH  10 4 80


Let’s not forget that Joe Weider told Mike Mentzer about Arnold’s cocaine usage at the 1980 show.

Royalty,  thank you for posting these pictures again. They really show very clearly just who won that 1980 Mr Olympia. So awesome that Arnold was able to easily win this show against all the manlets that where on the stage that day.
The only thing bigger on Mike Mentzer than Arnold was his stomach

That only makes Mentzer's 5th place looks even more embarrassing if Arnold on recreational drug still beats Mike lol
Even if Arnold didn't show up Mike wasn't going anywhere ...
They were judges having Tinnerino ahead of Mentzer.. Not a single judge had Mentzer winning


WooSSHHHHHHHHHHH

Arnold went on to conquer real estate, books, movies.......Mike went on to Meth, and ghey for not pay, running in the streets naked directing traffic,  to drinking mason jars of his own piss, sleeping in ditches. What a genius
