 You don't think it would have gone into a pattern like it has in recent years?

Good point...  let's say Flex won in '98.  Would he have ridden the wave and continued to compete and win Olympias until he ultimately died of kidney failure?

Perhaps God made Flex lose in 98 in order to save his life.   Maybe that's also what Ronnie means when he says it's God's will that he be Mr. Olympia.

Well I think the Bros Wieder would have perfered to get it to be in a pattern, but objectivley speaking, when you judge a contest by who shows up to win, and not who is the champ... This is the list I have ...

I think the only champs that really repeated justly were Arnold and Haney

  Would he have ridden the wave and continued to compete and win Olympias until he ultimately died of kidney failure?...this shouldn't have been funny, due to its meanness, but it made me laugh

I didn't intend it to be funny, honestly!  Flex had to stop competing due to kidney problems.  But the big one always eluded him.  I was just wondering out loud if the glory of being Mr. O would've caused him to continue competing even though it would've been ruining his health at the same time, due to his kidney disease.

I think if Haney decided to he would rule through all of those years as well.

 Knowing how hard it is for bodybuilders to quit when they look bad, it must be even harder to quit near one's peak

For Dorians' reign who knows but for Coleman,then after

You goofed up in 1999. It would've been Flex Wheeler - again!

true - the judges would have gave it too him even though chris was much better.

[phyxsius]

Hahaha.. Is it also God's will for Ronnie to have a dead tongue




or it's because he's a Texan

 I'll bet Ronnie has a bigger tongue than you

[Earl1972]

seeing as how dorian started his reign in 92 and Kevin got 2nd he would've been Mr. O for the next several years

If Flex won in 93, the mass monster age would have been over. And Espn would probably still be running bbing shows.

Flex probably might not have run into his kidney problems if he stayed in the 218-25 pound weight range.
