Mike Matarazzo - Last Interview - Pics

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

That physique cost him his life.   Good guy to chat with but I was sad at all the stuff he did.  Ridiculous shit

[SOMEPARTS]

he wouldn't be top 6 today just like he wasn't then

This. Couldn’t hold a candle next to todays freaks like Ramy or Phil. Could oil them up backstage at best

Earl, are you saying that Matarazzo had nothing between the knees and armpits?

Did you ever offer him some kielbasa?

[Matt]

Did you ever offer him some kielbasa?

I have on good authority that Vincenzo packs 8" and thick.  That said, what makes you say think that Matarazzo was a bender?  I've never heard any word that Matarazzo was a bender.  Pretty sure he was straight.

Also, sadly, Vincenzo is absolutely correct that Matarazzo's physique did indeed cost him his life.  Not sure how Vince knew what Mike took or if he took anything above and beyond the average pro though.  Although Vincenzo does have inside sources, so who knows.

Someone told me Mike had used recreational drugs at times, but I don't completely trust the person who told me that.  It wouldn't surprise me - but I don't believe it just because someone said it.

Early 90’s

Amazing arms and calves and also a really cool guy.

I met him in the early 90's and based on how he ate (loved Taco Bell) I kinda figured he would end up with heart issues later in life.

Brandon shits all over this corpse.

[Earl1972]

he said he ate a jar of peanut butter and 5 pounds of red meat each day

i love 90's bodybuilding as much as anybody but the nostalgia really needs to stop

you can argue for the actual top guys then being top guys today but when you mention guys like matarazzo or munzer, that is just ridiculous

[D.O.A.]

Arms are shopped as hell..

Do you ever tire of being wrong?    He wouldn't be top 6 like he wasn't then. Your fucking stupidity is boundless but I do enjoy when you type so I can show everyone how clueless you are.

You're just like Hulkster a clueless moron who spouts off on a subject you're completely ignorant of. Try fact checking once and a while it may prevent you for looking like such a fucking idiot. I'll be waiting for you to try and save face with some stupid reply.

Just as a reference anytime someone references top anything it’s in comparison to the elite contest, in this case the Olympia.

Taking 2nd at the Toronto pro doesn’t mean you’re the second best bodybuilder in the world. You might not even be the best bodybuilder in Matt Cannings city.

Hope this helps, newb.

all that childish name calling like a teen aged girl holding a grudge against her ex boyfriend makes me think he had a lot of bottled up hatred for me, probably due to me criticizing his favorite bodybuilder in the old truce thread

i wonder how much time he wasted looking up those competition placings

pittsburgh pro 2nd place in 1990 = best bodybuilder today

[LurkerNoMore]

Matarazzo was like the white man version of Heath in the arms department.  Almost.

[D.O.A.]

Matarazzo was like the white man version of Heath in the arms department.  Almost.

I agree.

[usmcdevildoc]

Did you ever offer him some kielbasa?

You have to ask Ed Conners about that.

The thing that impressed me the most was the 'concern' that folks had for Matarazzo. They were so concerned that they could not even round up enough money to save the guy's life and have him go through a heart transplant. What happened to schmoe-ville?

[NarcissisticDeity]

Not what you typed moron.  your quote cool looking body doesn't mean elite competitive body again your quote. He wouldn't be top 6 like he wasn't then 


Thanks for playing idiot.

Says the teenage girl who " cried " when a washed up Kevin Leverone tried to compete again  . 

I don't hate you , I don't even know you. What I do know is you're ignorant and biased and type a lot of dumb shit that me and other people correct you on habitually. You're getting your ass handed to you still for claiming Heath would beat Dorian  the contest placings took 2 seconds to look up ( try it sometime ) and would Mike be top 6 in last years Olympia? probably , because as Ronnie & Dorian had said the sport has fallen so far that the current Mr Olympia wouldn't have placed top 6 when he competed lol

[Matt]

Why are you being mean to Earl, ND?

It doesn't sit well with me that two legends from Getbig's Ironage are being mean to one another like this.

Can you fill me in, and explain why this is occurring?

[Marvin Martian]

You and no fckn clue what “all the stuff he did” was. He didn’t tell you. WHY would he? I hung out with Mike numerous times through the years. We had some common friends.
Please post about it on YouTube. You will reach 75 - 200 views and really inform the world

I would say that Matarazzo was elite. Anyone that turned pro in the 90’s would have to be considered elite.

Look at the names in the heavyweight division that Mike had to defeat in order to turn pro:

HeavyWeight
1  Mike Matarazzo
2  Ken Wheeler *
3  Dean Caputo
4  Chris Cormier *
5  Kyle Norris
6  Harry Johnson
7  Bill Burney
8  Davis McGinty
9  Philip Hernon *
10  Raoul Fulcher
11  Bob Cicherillo *
12  Joe Carrero
13  Vincent Allen
14  Ronnie Coleman *
15  Gerard Dente
