Shawn is SOOO fucking overrated it's beyond laughable. Excellent physique absolutely. a great bodybuilder? NO by no fucking metric. Dex won more contests in 2008 alone than Shawn won in his entire career!!! now factor in Dex won more shows in 2004 than Shawn did his entire career and again in 2013 and in 2016. Dex has 29 wins I believe with an Sandow and Shawn won 2 fucking contests

You can argue who had the better physique but under no circumstances can you argue who was the superior bodybuilder. And I personally believe Dex would beat Shawn at their respective bests.
Dexter was 100% spot-on about everything with the exception of let the 90s guys compete today and then would have trouble! The 90s guys who couldn't win were " full " and just couldn't come dialed in at that weight. So they lost to the guys who could. And it's all irrelevant because no one is weighing people on-stage. The 1990s is the highwater mark for professional bodybuilding specifically because of the size , shape and conditioning.
Dex was also right about Shawn creating buzz to keep his name relevant , He started that Digital Muscle Media looking to create controversy and views. Shawn is very good as promoting himself to be something more than what he was which was a mediocre bodybuilder.
