Chris dickersons fdb was horrible. His abs looked like they were melting/slipping down, his biceps were tiny. He looked good from the back just standing there but lopsided from the front.

According to the judging panel Chris had the best legs in the top six

Between Zane Arnold and Chris, it was so close on many levels. But Arnold had the charisma and showmanship to pull it off at only 75 percent. Royalty will argue, but it’s the way it is.

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH

I wasn't there at the Opera House that day, but obviously stage presence got Arnold further than that Mentzer's flat chest, distended midsection could ever do for the poor guy,

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHh 10.4.80

Bwahahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha!!!

Some asshole heavy duty /mentzer/ cult member told me Mike put on 20 lbs of muscle for the 80 Olympia. These people are delusional. Royalty has no argument so he makes up these wierd posts about Arnold having sex with men. Grow up.

Why did Mike and Royalty have such a huge problem with just Arnold? ... Dickerson, Zane Were also
Placed ahead of him, Boyer Coe was tied with Mike.. and, the 4th place was awarded to Boyer to make matters even more painful to Mr. Heavy Duty.

Did Mike honestly think Arnold had also arranged all them placings?

It's a shame Mike could have had a relatively easy win the following year (1981) with a great career within the industry, Mike had a lot of good ideas while rocking a legendary mustache that put Joe Weider's to shame.

The mental weakness let him to a detriment downfall to the point he was seen running naked on traffic busy streets

That's something I always found interesting. Mike followed the Objectivist philosophy and Teachings of Ayn Rand.
The characters in her books she used to illustrate her objectivist philosophy were unusually strong willed, possessing incredible self belief and did not depend on the opinions of others to influence their work. They were objectivist but also were self interested, bordering on arrogant.

But Mike let the judges opinions absolutely destroy his life.

He failed at objectivist philosophy just like everything else.

Boyer coe placing ahead of mike is surprising, none of his poses really flowed. Maybe the judges really didn't like the flat chest and first bloated gut look.

Bloated gut

Prolapsed anus

Semen soaked mustache

Guy was a mess. Im surprised they even let him on stage. He embarrassed himself and the sport. His legacy is that of a drunk, piss guzzling, con artist with a legion of delusional, retarded fans.

Yes.

It's kind of funny how he has a following the way he does.

Granted he had a great look when he was at his best but he just wasn't any better than any of the other guys back then. Yet, Dickerson, Coe, Padilla, Callender, Tinnerino, Viator, Bannout etc.. none of them have an army of rabid idiots who think they were 'perfect' or insist they were robbed whenever they didn't win. Its kind of bizarre. He had his following of course but the myth his fans believe about him it's actually humorous. Look at this invalid, royalty. He's consumed with 'defending' mentzer. Its changed his personality, posting style, the content he posts, it's brought his latent homosexuality to a raging head. He's lost his mind following mentzers flawed beliefs, he's clearly gone insane and unfortunately there's no helping him.

After Mike Menthol passed. They cremated his remains and placed them in one of his mason jars that he used to drink piss from. Its what he would have wanted.

He is seen by them as the father of (s)HIT even though he just parroted everything from Arthur Jones.

I mean holy fuck this guy has a one track mind.

Even when it's embarrassing for everyone else to watch this creep struggle with this addiction, he still can't stop.

I can imagine being in the Royalty household-

Dad- "Honey, haveyou seen our son anywhere?"

Mom- (Sighs deeply, shaking her head) "He's in his room The doors locked."

Dad- "God dammit! Is he watching gay porn again!"

Mom- "Yes. I think so. I don't know what to do. Every time I try and talk to him about it he just says 'it's bodybuilding related' and won't come out."

Dad- "Sonovabitch! It's those Goddamn muscle mags and that fucking mail order course from that wierdo mike muncher or whatever his name is!!"

The truth is Boyer probably did the best posing routine at that contest. He showed off his best points and hid his weak ones, like his abs. Dickerson had the most aesthetic routine much appreciated by the audience. Zane wasn’t very big and posed way too long. Arnold came alive in the comparisons. His 3/4 poses made everyone else look small. Plus Arnold competed only after he knew who was judging.
