I will take Samir Bannout’s words over yours 😂

Listen to that .

Sammir who wasn't even in the conversation, it wasn't his war, yet he felt betrayed by his idol, lol because how everything went on ,,, Samir was training with Arnold and somehow thinking Arnold gave a flying F about a newcomer to tell his plans Terminator mode in Sydney ..




WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHhh  DELUSIONAL

1980 = rigged
1991 = properly judged

1980 Mr Olympia, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

No amount of videos with aging bodybuilders is going to change that. The viewpoint of losers is all these videos are.
To date there is zero validation to any of their accusations. Just comes off as sore losers. Male "karens"
True. All these years and not a single proof to validate the claims of these sore losers despite so much effort from their side.

Wow, so not only was Samir a competitor in the contest. He was also a judge?
He was also buddies with Mike so who cares what Samir "thinks". Key word "thinks" as in opinion.
Samir was a friend of Mike, and Mike saved his life by giving him potassium when  Samir started cramping up from a diuretic. Samir owed it to Mike. Also, Mentzer went all the way to Germany to support Samir at the Olympia in 1983 while Arnold was rooting for Bertil.
Plus, Samir's viewpoint standing at the back of the stage while not getting a single comparison is not the best angle to observe the physiques and judge the results. I would rather listen to the opinion of IFBB Pro John Terilli who saw everyone not only backstage but also sitting front and center row in one of the best seats in the house.

Agree with all you state. I dont put any stock in competitors that never went on to achieve much afterwards. Di Arnold really crush all their hopes and dreams, their ambitions crush by the weight of Arnold's victory. Or where they just slightly above average bodybuilders used as fluff fillers till the new upcoming champs arrive, the likes of Lee Haney.

Why was the Olympia rigged in 1980?
Someone should create an AI version of the 1980 Olympia with an alternate outcome. Should then be circulated around online. Then the malevolent spirit of Mentzer will finally have peace and be at rest.

Epic! Mentzer winning and everyone claiming it was rigged that Arnold should won instead of ending in a ridiculous fifth place, and Paul Graham sold his soul to the heavy-duty system ;D

So was Roy Callender. Mentzer should've placed 7th at best.
