Does Mr Oympia always come with a GB public enemy #1 tag, I wonder.

[rocket]

Brothers, as I sit here in my dungeon, having successfully masturbated and now, having read yet more vitriol towards the current Mr Olympia - I am ready to contemplate thongian philosophy, I cast my mind back to the days of yore and I wonder:

Can you recall a time where we had a Mr Olympia that wasn't public enemy #1 on this board?

I think back to Ronnie.. huge hate for him.  A lot of people would probably be surprised about that, but there was this huge push for Jay to win over him, which seems increasingly ridiculous with every day that goes by.  I remember people were so happy when Gunter beat Ronnie.

Surely, surely we were not fans of the fridge when he caught his break?  Humble he may be, he has the least detailed upper body in the history of Mr Olympia winners - the "bloofyness" that we're only now starting to understand.

I cannot remember whether Dex was hated - but let's face it, Dex has a little cockyness in him, so likely that was the case - as you're not allowed to be proud of your achievements on the internet

It does beg the question - let's say this board was around when the great oak was in ascendancy - would his cockyness also condemn him to being the #1 enemy of getbig?

People like to root for the underdog. Everyone is happy when there is a New Mr Olympia and then when he keeps winning it gets boring. Phil is the best of his generation , however he's beatable and time has proven Mr Olympia winners don't get better as they progress ( sans Haney )

Phil is like Killary just unlikable , he melts down on and off-stage , fights with ' haters ' online , leaves his wife who had cancer , photo-ops with cops , bad mouths them the next minute.

Yeah, that's a pretty classic example of what I'm talking about.

Basically, he shows a little cockyness - actually talks back to some haters and suddenly, people are making up all sorts of shit about him.  The whole leaving wife thing.. such a beatup - I mean, are we seriously going to be suggesting that it is unethical for a relationship to end after one person has had cancer?  I've read people say that phil used his wife's cancer to promote himself and then left her when she was healthy - I mean, it's such hiliarious bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of his physique - I just think it is interesting how people are prepared to just go into outright speculation and look how people run with it.

If Arnold was on instagram during his heyday.. come on, the dude was a womaniser, he was cocky, arrogant - probably would fire back at haters.. he would be hated.

Although Arnold had an unquestionable physique

.. or did he?  Would getbig have stood for that last olympia result?

If Arnold was on instagram during his heyday..

Arnold wouldn't have wasted any time using instagram and the like.

I think Ronnie was quite widely accepted.

And to be honest, he is the last impressive Mr. Olympia.
Jay was OK one year but not wow-effecting.

[Griffith]

Dexter was not hated and Jay Cutler was always popular.

[rocket]

Jay was wayyyy too popular on this board when he was the second place guy.

[Simple Simon]

No one ever hated Lee Haney.

[OB1]

No one will ever miss Philsulina.

[mass243]

No one will ever miss Philsulina.

He seems very unpopular.
I think he had some solid fan base foundation when he first won.

But now I hear that the line to his booth at expos is shorter than for many other people 

[NaturalWonder83]

We have issues with the fact that he's an arrogant pompous piece of shit who used his ex wife's cancer to further his career, stepped over the line on stage, insulted police online then did a photo op with them, harassed and bullied a gym receptionist. He deserves to lose this year and should be thrown out of the ifbb

We hate you Phil

who used his ex wife's cancer to further his career

Like I said earlier, this claim right here.. is fucking bullshit.

I draw the line at making shit up - particularly when everything else you say is true (to some extent).

A solid case for an IFBB suspension now that roids, peptides and being an insecure adolescent shmuck have been given carte blanche.

[Europe]

some didn't like Jay because of the -07 fiasco, some didn't like Ronnie because of his gut in his late Olympias, some didn't like Dorian because Nasser controversy, but all mentioned were widely popular and liked by most.

BUT EVERONE HATES PHIL CHEATH because he's a pompous cheating liar bubble Gut disgusting 1.0 heaths wide human being.

100% spot on.

In real life phil is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he is very approachable you can just walk up to him and he will shoot the breeze with you.

You are trying too hard it makes no logical sense for you to approach phil and he treats you like crap unless he knows your getbig handle.

he acted like he had no time for me-wouldn't even look me in the face-kept looking and talking to other people and people behind the table, was dismissive, acted like I was a bumbling fool, and rushed me after I waited to meet him-he had zero respect for me and acted like he was superior
Jay cutler Sergio Olivia flex Lewis Gustavo badell, Evan, Ronnie all treated me very well
Fuck phil

You lose for waiting to meet a pro BB in the first place.

No one ever hated Lee Haney.

If this site existed like it does now when Haney competed, there would  be countless comments on his small arms in relation to torso, under developed legs, lack of conditioning, and overall blackness.
