Who cares about the special invite. Bodubuilding is about dead so anything to make it more interesting is fine with me. Kevin hasn't abused his body with weights and supps for over a decade so who's to say he won't respond? Dexter has been at it forever and still looks great. By the looks of Kevin's pics he looks to be coming along just fine up to this point. Lets just hope his legs come up to a decent level.

Totally agree. It would be interesting to see what he can achieve if he does go through with it. Worst case scenario - he looks just as bad as Branch Warren, lol

Very strongly doubt he'll be on stage.

If he is, he will look small, dull and with shit legs and back.
I say he starts training and prepping for the Olympia. Realizes it's a bad idea shows up as a guest poser for the O. Great hype for the O and his line.

Wider than Heath

Better Dress sense than Heath

More likeable than Heath

Possibly even more oil than Heath come show time

Even Frank Sepe is wider than Heath

Levrone should be 1st

After last year I knew they would need to do something to garner more interest but I don't know what to make of this. I don't know what's worse: A 50 year old man who hasn't competed in over a decade being the main attraction or fans thinking this is going to be the kevin levrone of the 1990's. I guess people need someone to root for

Levrone never even trained year round so there's that...

He's where he needs to be, he's carrying a tonne of size already. Another 20 pounds and he'll look fantastic.

I highly doubt Kevin will show up on stage come contest day.

You guys are aware of his past, right ??


This is just to boost his supplement line. Will probably pull out within 7 days of the show with a mysterious illness or muscle tear.

He's over 50. Is the field really that bad to where a
51 year old man who hasn't competed in years is w legitimate threat? Think of how bad that is

I still say it's a ploy to sell tickets and he'll back out the week before the show or something

who cooks these schemes up?

is it manion, branch and some fellas sitting around a table smoking cigars in a nondescript basement?

I'm with you it seems so contrived.

Yup and will guest pose at the Olympia. Great hype for the IFBB and his supplement line.

It's like wrestling.  It may work because old school bodybuilding fans don't have much to root for these days and for them to see one of the legends get up there will bring back great memories of the good old days. I know someone who was on the fence about going that bought a ticket after hearing this.

Knowing Kevin and his relationship with the truth, I just don't believe he's really going to compete. His posing routine would probably be better than any of the current people but it's not going to be 90's Kevin.

If anything it just shows they really need to work on marketing Phil better.

Would definitely bring some excitement but can pretty much guarantee he won't show on the day

yes I would put good money on him having a few serious injuries. Essentially the exact opposite of what he claims is true.

I've been trying to come up with a description for what we are observing with respect to "pro bodybuilding" the best analogy I've found is pro wrestling. The whole thing is cooked up *storylines*. I really want to know who's the wizard of oz for this operation.

Some of you are so ignorant/naive.

When Kevin was awesome he was 20 years younger and gassed to the rafters. His organs were on life support.

When he attempted to be more reasonable he walked on stage looking a shadow of his best form.

Plus injury/nerve damage which saw his wheels become flat.

He's not challenging anyone.

But as is said, he won't compete, anyway.

This actually brings some potential excitement for me again.  I'd love to see Levrone get back on stage...he's one of the "90s guys" that we constantly refer to.

Some people believe he's actually going to challenge the top 5. If that were true, then they should abolish the bodybuilding category on the spot because it says more about the quality of current competitors than it does about Kevin and his genetics.

I think people are nostalgic and quite honestly they want someone to root for.

He looks amazing for 60 and was an awesome bb. I was just being sarcastic about a comeback. :)
