I knew Ed Connors quite well. Ed was not a gossip queen. Now....Eddie Giuliani loved gossip and was a veey funny guy. Giuliani loved to tell stories about guys from the past. I mean...he loved to gossip. Same thing with Ric Drasin. Drasin had a bunch of bad shit in his closet so he was a hypocrite talking shit about other guys when it came to homo activity. Giuliani said that Waller dispiced all homo activity in any shape and form. And that Waller definitely had personal issues with Katz among others due to his homosexual actions and while still being a married man. Giuliani was very clear with absolute certainty that Katz and his training partner Joey were lovers. Katz would spend most of the summer in Venice...without his wife and children..Most fathers-husbands would not do such a thing for such a lomg stretch unless other issues were involved. Giuliani also mentioned that Katz would live rent free at an apartment complex in Pacific Palisades that was owned by the biggest, legendary Queen Schmoe by the name of Dudley Cowan. He paid for Mike's entire summers, food, drugs. Giuliani stated that Katz was a huge loner and was shunned by most of the other guys. And that while he trained with Arnold...that Franco hated Katz and that Franco would call Katz gay slurs in Italian and refer to him as "the finocchio".
BULLSHIT.......THE FAIRY TALE OF THE DAY BY OUR RESIDENT FAIRY.So now Katz was fucking Joe Ugolik.....I`ve heard enough of your shit fuckface.DID YOU HAVE A RAGING HARDON TYPING THAT ?All the top guys flocked to Venice for contest season back in the day.....was Mike fucking all of them too?YOU FUCKING CLOWN.
Some things to say. I am dying laughing...at you calling me our resident fairy. I like that one....lol. And no.....Joe was the one fucking Katz. Every story ever told had Katz as a bottom....taker.....cock rider. He didnt fuck. And no....I did not have a raging hard-on while typing this thread up. I am not a homosexual. Just a fellow bodybuilder who was in the know for many years with many stories told to me.
I had my own encounter with Katz in an Atlantic City diner in the early 90s in which he explicitly told me....in his own words " I LOVE GUYS LIKE YOU". I was in my late teens at the time. Had just competed that day.....it was after prejudging....and in a diner. My grandfather was with me sitting in a booth waiting for our meal and I was waiting to use the restroom. Katz was the emcee of the event and I approached him for an autograph and to chat....while we were both waiting to use the toilet.Conversation ensued....autograph was given to me.....and then he dropped his crushing comment upon me. I was all fucked up by the encounter and have never forgotten his words.
What kind of weirdo is worried about who was sleeping with whom in the 1970s?? It's not like anyone looks up to Katz as their Hero and is going to care one way or the other if he was gay.
Whatever asshole....anyone can make up tall tales.I`ve known him for eons.....since I was very young until now, and he was never like you describe him.....could it be that you are full of shit?
Wes cares.
I am certain that Katz was not after every man. Nobody is saying that he wasnt a good man. Maybe he just wasnt into your type. He clearly preferred darker brunette men when wanting to be bottomed out.
My thoughts exactly with regards to his unhandsomeness. Age has done nothing to improve his appearance either. Why bother outing these guys all these years later when what they did in their prime probably has no bearing on who they are today. I find no satisfaction in reading Mike Katz was gay, bi, G4P or just into sex with whoever would consent to it. This is basically homophobic gossip which is pathetic.
I have said this before....many years ago. But it bears repeating. Mike Katz....though married for many years and with kids.....was a known closet bottom. This was told to me many times by a few select oldtimers. I was witness to Lee Priest grilling Eddie Giuliani about the rumor in World Gym in Marina Del Rey and Eddie giving Lee the rundown. Lee was in stiches....as was I and my training partner. It wasnt the first time I had heard the Katz stories. Here are 2 quickies that I had heard....plus I had my own encounter with Katz moons ago and had a personal "come on" from Katz. But here we go....Katz was known to cruise for younger up and comer bodybuilders everytime he visited NYC and was training at Tom Minichello's Mid City Gym. The late Bob Bonham told me that the word around the NYC-NJ area from Minichellos mouth was that Katz would get on top and ride the young guys raw without a condom. Also....Eddie Giuliani told Lee that Katz would come out to Venice without his wife when teaching job was off for summers and that he and his training partner from Pumping Iron...Joey....were summer lovers. I will get flamed in moments from many saying Katz was a saint. Not saying he was a scumbag at all....but the man was absolutely a closet bottom. Deal with it.
Tommywishbone confirmed that Beefy was a hardcore competitive bodybuilder back in the day and that he is a solid, honest guy. Enough for me. I don't doubt these stories one bit. Hardcore bodybuilding has so many skeletons dangling everywhere. He isn't 'worried' about Katz and his sex life. This is the Gossip board of Getbig, so he is posting gossip for shits and giggles.
WAIT....You said that Katz was NOT a scumbag, and yet you selected him, of all people, to disparage on Christmas? You are a lonely deviant. No family. No friends. Your thread is clearly cry for help.
Are you Tom Prince?
I've always thought this was Tom Prince for some odd reason.
Exactly who post homophobic accusations about a 75 year old man with vulgar details at 5am on XMAS? Did Katz molest this guy as a child or something?
