Priceless shot; Mentez wasn't having any of it.

Small cameo of Mentzer sipping at drink at Gold's at the beginning of PI when Arnold comes in; completely overlooked in the movie. They only intreviewed stiffs as Arnold's competition-not a word from Nubret, Robinson, Oliva, Draper...

 It's a shame more those Ironage greats weren't interviewed. Were they in the special features?

They went to Draper's to interview him but he was unavailable; already into drug/alcohol probs. Unfortunate since he deserved to be in it.

As far as the others, the absence of some of the others is inexplicable. Possibly a desire to stage the movie in a way that made it more interesting or consistent with Weider publications' version. For accuracy's sake they should have been in there since it was claiming to be a documentary.

  Mike made it sound like Arnold was Supporting Getbig, but he seems calm in the picture.

 I can't spell it the old way, but I think it's a good thing. It was becoming too much of a crutch.

Each mr olympia has a stake in bbing history for their era,scott brought a new thickness and huge arm's and a exercise named for it scott curl,oliva had immense proportions and could have gone forever some thought,until arnold who brought european mass to new level's and started bbing in new broarder masses and has to this day certain signature poses that he mastered,columbu just due to weight classes at time didn't get his rightful due.zane who was a statue come to life brought a new level of ripped muscularity never seen and too win at such a lighter bodyweight than most peers.dickerson and bannout were very good but it was time too ring on the big boy's and people had enough of the 190 pounders for good.haney started what was considered the most competitive era with bbers from all over the wordl vying for the title while bringing a massive package of thick muscle.yate's just increased the formula 10 fold and pretty much for most of his win's demolished his competitor's and his era had some of the best bber's to be seen yet,now we sit with king ron proving that  as the oldest mro  yet what training ,diet,supplementing natural and unnatural that the sky's the limit.all in all they were all great and have contributed to the progression of bbing's great prize.

So, how much longer you guys think the Mr O will exist? I doubt it will be around 10-15 years from now. Pro bb as we use to know it is dying off for sure.
