all weird shape angles,,bbing real bbing is building it whatever way you do natural/clean/drugs ,,but making bodyparts misshappen to compensate is throwing the original formula out the window..

Like pro wrasslin, the internet has pulled back the curtain and people don't enjoy the reality.

This,  people just can't take today's champs as serious as the did say 15-20 years ago

Agreed

I also think with everyone getting onstage it really has eliminated the exclusiveness of competition. Also the Internet has eliminated the idea that it's glamorous

Because the overt homoeroticism is at an all time high.

If that was the case, today's Bodybuilders would've been more popular actually, the LGBT agenda is all over the media and more accepted than ever, gay people in general, just don't find bodybuilding "entertaining" .

My Metroflex hangs supplement posters all over the walls; Over 75% of them depict individuals who aren't associated with the IFBB/NPC.

AAS/PEDs are frowned upon by mainstream America. These fake nattys are pulling the wool over their eyes and taking the money out of their back pocket.

New M&F Fitness has Wrestler Batista on the cover  ..

You'd  think with the kind of year bodybuilder legend Mr.Dexter Jackson has had, he'd land at least one cover on a BB publication....but no.

Why ?  Interesting how bodybuilding publications are featuring bodybuilders from the past in order to get people's attention.

Like frank Zane, last time he was on the cover of a magazine was in 1989 .....26 years later he had to be back in order to boost sales .

These are all issues from recent months !

because anyone who would buy print media is probably old as fuck anyway.

but to answer your question because anything you'd want a bodybuilder for you could get better in the wwe.
there's been about 2 popular bodybuilders ever;arnold and lou and the later is probably hella niche.

bautista in #1 movies
rock in #1 movies
cena in #1 movies
jericho on dwts
brock on espn
undertaker on fallon
ect ect.

Bodybuilders are not popular for a number of reasons.

Bodybuilders are not popular because for most people, big muscles and veins all over the body is a repulsive picture.

Bodybuilders are not popular because they spend too much time trying to look good. That sends the message that they are shallow or more shallow than the average person, someone you cannot form solid friendship or eventual love relationship with. Also, most perceive bodybuilders as insecure because of this obsession with muscularity.

Bodybuilders are not popular because for most people bodybuilding is more related to striptease than it is to sports. In fact, one just have to watch one single clip of bodybuilders competing to realise how erotically charged bodybuilding is. If anything, people see bodybuilders are sex objects rather than sportsmen. I'm sure most don't complain about it though. Obviously, your average heterosexual man is not interested in watching nearly naked men, if anything they would watch Miss Universe contests.

Bodybuilders are not popular because they, as a collective, are perceived as aggressive, sexists, misogynists, homophobes. Most of the time bodybuilding is related to these negative qualities which make people not find something to admire in bodybuilders. People adimre heros; not villains

none of those guys were actually popular though? 99% of the population couldnt name a bb other than arnold lou or maybe lee haney

You may have a point. He is on Instagram arguing with anybody who complains about having to pay $5 a month. His job as the sales person is to sell people on the value of what they are getting. Not chew them out for not wanting to pay
