Arnold gets booed off the stage in 1980.

[Tarantula157]

samir in 83 was awesome he never did replicate that condition either for the rest of his career

Yeah, he tried to play the size game and compete at a heavier weight and was never that dry and crisp ever again.

Plus he competed in a non IFBB show the next year which pissed the Weiders off.

WABBA? IIRC Samir looked sick at the WABBA show. Beat Jeff King and Kawak... the difference in level was crazy. That show wasn't even close.

do you have any pics from that show ? i was to young then to even know about it .  i totally believe the pissing of weiders part, the poor bastard got black listed for the rest of his career.   but danny padilla  did leaven for wbf comeback and placed decently  aron baker was probably the most fucked over bb of the 90s

Pretty sure the most of the show is on YouTube,  at least the posedown is.... also I don't think Danny competed in the IFBB again after the WBF... his NOC and Niagara pro (?) Where he was 2nd or 3rd was before he was in the WBF.

Edit: video isn't the sharpest quality. Can't tell if he's smooth or it's poor video quality.

^^^That was a great contest.

Thierry Pastel and lance Dreher in that show as well.

Both were very underrated in IFBB

Yes, it was loaded.

Out of desperation, Arnold took a step forward in an attempt to deal with Mentzer’s awesomeness.


This ain’t close. Mentzer blasted Arnold in 1980.

If Mentzer was really that good, I mean if he was really so god darn great, those 2 inches of foot placement would not have mattered.

He was absolutley 💯 dwarfed and outclassed by a 70% Arnold. Hahahahahah

Also, this shot is a frame side by side that had Rodger walker in the middle of both of them, this "foot place m ent " may not even be accurate.
Like I stated....if Mentzer was so darn good this foot placement would not have mattered.
Arnold dwarfed Mike so much it was apparent by all who could see. Theses shots of Arnold clearly show just how insignificant Mike was by comparison  hahahahaha

Look at Arnold.just destroying the little Mentzer, Mike did not stand a chance. His potbelly and flat chest where a joke

Mentzer had a better chest and bigger arms & delts

and better abs, quads, and calves

Let's get real here guys.  Mike is obviously the better man.  Arnold seems to have Polio.

Even a badly out of shape Arnold shits on a depleted/flat mike.

Let's get real. Mike went up against the worst version of arnokd ever and his fans cling to the idea that mike was better. FFS Arnold in 71 73 74 75 are all far superior to anything mike ever brought.

But if all you got is your comparison to the guy on his worst day then.... eh it's a pretty hollow "victory"

But if we're not talking Arnold v. Mike, if we're talking specifically about the 80 Olympia,  then compare mike to boyer, then to Zane, then to Dickerson.  Because they all beat him too. 80 was also FAR from Mike's best shape also.

Mentzer was the mentally weakest competitor I've ever seen in any competition. When has anyone ever melted down so hard after a defeat? People lose all the time, get pissed, brush themselves off and try again. Mike quit and literally cried for 20+ years in the magazines about the injustice he felt he was dealt. If the weak dumbass would have just kept competing he probably would have won quite a few contests although I doubt he ever would have won the O.

Hi Danimal77


Arnold had a “relationship” with Paul Graham. Paul Graham was the promoter of the 1980 Mr Olympia. Arnold and Paul shared a one bedroom apartment together.


Arnold suffered from Polio in 1980

Hey bro

Check out Markus YouTube he's got lots of vids bout mentzer

And he is mid late 50s looks.mid 30s

He trains only HIT

[Pet shop boys]

Plus he competed in a non IFBB show the next year which pissed the Weiders off.

Looks like Samir let the popularity and Sandow go to his head ...
Suddenly he felt he no longer needed the IFBB and was the "shit"

However, It must have been really painful to go from winning to 6th place..

in the Mr.O 84' video (finals) you can see Samir so confident he got number 2 tittle in the bag, he even goes on stage and pushes the competitors a side to place himself on center stage just to be announced 6th place right away.



Woooosshhhhhhhhhh  LE VRO NEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
