What?

Wtf @ the shmoe at 6:35

& Wtf is Steve oiling Dorian while Dorians wife just stands there and watches? Dorian couldn't oil his own thighs/inner thighs? Arms? Stomach?

[Earl1972]

You can tell how cocky and full of himself Kevin is at beginning of clip as he walks in front of camera.   

He was my favorite to win that year.   

Never would have thought I’d live to see him place dead last. 

His ego was his primal rival.   Still is. 

they all would've placed last if they stopped competing for 13 years and then decided to come back in their 50's

the comeback turned out to be a great idea, it made him relevant in the sport again and now he is traveling the world promoting his supplement line and making good money

Clairmonte looked the best if you're looking for perfection. That Hebrew (yes, Barbados people are Caribbean Hebrew) has aesthetics AS GOOD AS his American Hebrew brother Flex Wheeler. If he had the right "coach" he would have been top 3 at the O.

looks good standing by himself, disappears next to legit top 4 guys

Dont care how good they say Dorian was, he sure knew how to pick his friends, used to stay with the Weinbergers during the lead up to the Olympia..

Was it usually held in New York?  I think it was held in Chicago once, and consistently in Las Vegas since 1999.

I went to that one.  Dorian deserved it.  Nassar looked amazing from the front, but when they turned around, it was so far over.

[Rambone]

And Steve was the lead judge during this era, correct? How did this favoritism go on without competitors making a huge fuss out of it? It’s pretty ridiculous

Dorian retired after 97

Shawn Ray complained about Dorian having his own room backstage with Weinberger in with him at one Olympia..

Not during Dorian's time, but it was held on the east coast of America quite a bit during the 90's. And Dorian certainly was friendly with Weinberger. If you look at a lot of his American photo shoots on the east coast, they'd be at Bev Francis's Gym or Gold's Syosset. Bev is Steve Weinberger's wife.

Lot's of top guys knew Steve and Bev, but Dorian was extra buddy buddy.

They didnt make a fuss because Weider ruled with a rod of iron, no one wanted to rock the boat, apart from Shawn of course..

Did Dorian ever flick Bev’s enlarged bean?

On a side note, Bev appears to have never looked attractive. Steve is certainly a schmoe’s schmoe. This is the closest thing to marrying a Tom Platz impersonator.

Steve judged one contest Dorian was in and placed him second. 1990 Night of the Champions.

He certainly might of had the chance, from an old Muscle and Fitness gym profile -

"When Dorian Yates was in the midst of his Olympia title run, he’d spend the month before the competition training at Bev Francis."

And this Yates biography says he had an open invitation to their house -

I’m on an iPhone but only see a blank box (this might be a good thing because I haven’t had dinner yet)

That's him. He did look great.

Ha, it was just a cheap joke of a young clothed Bev Francis and then a shirtless Tom Magee, who looks kinda close. Bev was never hot, but at least she doesn't look like her '91 Olympia build anymore -

that's the closest thing to being with a dude. He must be gay or in denial about it.

What’s is momo? 4’11??

he didnt know him then...

[Taffin]

JD Dawodu?

Oops!  

<insert Morgan L Jackson Fishburne joke here>


Edit 1

is it the O? Thought it was British grand prix.

incredible line up. Yates still looked good although I think his arms were down from 95.

Claimonte looking god like as always

Jeezus!  That explains teh Brits thanks (thread detail is up to the usual Taffin standard  )


Edit 2

I went to that one.  Dorian deserved it.  Nassar looked amazing from the front, but when they turned around, it was so far over.

So was it the O..?
