AND .....
Is/was Arnold Over-rated.
1 = Yes, he has been definitely overated.
2 = Arnold was sorta over-ratred.
3 = Arnold was definitely not overrated.
If The question was : How important was Joe Weider to Dave Draper's (Blond Bomber) success , ID say 5.
Regarding Arnold, I asked myself that question when I watched the Bigger movie , However With Arnold it simply does not apply .....
Arnold was going to make it no matter what
The Blond Bomber was on cover of mags and adds when he wasnt a top 6 Mr.O contender where Sergio, who was mr.O wans't promoted.....
yet Draper was forgotten in time .... with the new poster boy and so on ......
1- Like Vince said, Arnold was told to do certain jobs for Weider when he first arrived he said
NO yet he went to take over Dave Drapper's place and went to become the face of Weider's empire .
2- Arnold was told to take his shirt off and do a posing routine on Carson's Tonight show but he said
NO yet he went to promote his books movies ec..
3- Arnold was asked to play the good guy in the Termnator movie he said
No yet he went to play the Terminator himself and the rest is history ...
you dont know who youre dealing with here
WOOOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH BARRACUDA MODE
