How can anyone get excited over that lineup  

I hope Dexter wins just for the nostalgia factor.

Why isn't Rami competing?

Why isn't the defending champ (Wolf) competing?

[thegamechanger]

From a financial perspective it doesnt make a lot of sense to skip the Arnold.

Yes Olympia payout is higher - if you finish first. $275.000 but for 2nd its $130.000 (same as first in Arnold and at the Arnolds you dont have to worry about Heath and Kai), 3rd place in Olympia is $90 000 , 4th is $55.000 (Wolf finished 4th and got this but he finished first in Arnolds last year and got $130 000) and 5th is $45.000

So neither Wolf or Rhoden (who came second in the Arnolds last year) will compete this year missing out on a big bag of money.

Ifbb Pro bodybuilding has finished at 2005 around.
NOT EXCITING AT ALL.
