Flex Wheeler is the best ALMOST Mr. O of all time.

He's probably better than the best Mr. O, in '93 anyway.

Superb.  A near miniaturized version of the Oak.  Should have won at least one Olympia.

He wore cut off tracksuits so that he would be forced to hammer the living shit out of them until they improved

Today the answer would be implants.....but back then, it really was training training training until his eyes fell out. So it really can be done, by training like a madman.... 8)

In no particular order Menzter, Padilla and Paris come to mind.  Mentzer walked and whined away when he should have returned with a vengeance.  Padilla was robbed too as was Paris.



As much as I love Paris ( 98% no homo ) he was never a top contender or in for a shout for a win...

Gaspari was one of my favorites...until I met him a few times. I was working the boards/clubs down the jersey shore in late 80s. Dude was an arrogant douche. He dated the sister to a guy i knew,told me Gaspari was known to be hand happy when it came to the ladies.

Robby came the closest, winning the heavyweight class but losing the overall to Frank Zane.

1981, Danny Padilla. I'd also be ok with Platz winning the 1981 Olympia also. Franco winning was a travesty.





I fully agree. Would have liked to have seen Danny win it in 81 and Platz win it in 82.

I posted it before: a Mr O should look strong....Flex never did. Levrone and Shawn Ray did so...

I would have liked to see either one or both (Kevin or Shawn) win. To me, the ONLY year Flex should have had a legit chance was 1993 and had Yates not shown up at 256/257 pounds of huge chiseled muscle, it would have been Flex's win easily.

Let's not forget '98. Ronnie beat Flex by the skin of his teeth that year.

After driving hours to see his seminar in Philly or Jersey or somewhere in the late 80s, I was stupid and naive enough to ask him about something he said in a Flex magazine interview.  His response was "Is that what they made up that I said?"  He had clearly not done any such interview and it was all made up.  

The beginning of the end of my innocence.  I watched him training his biceps that morning and was amazed and impressed by his concentration and vascularity.

Robby was close to mr O, barely missed it. Could have taken it, 50/50....

He had a good shot at grapping it in 1996 also.

I'll 2nd that. He is so unfairly raped on this site. He was a Tier 1 material and should have won it at least once, if not twice. He literally was the complete package with virtually no flaws, other than being 5'6"/5'7" which isn't THAT short for a bodybuilder. It was his outspoken mouth that got him on bad terms with the judges and getbig.
