Ruhl is massive but his physique is not aesthetic.

Blocky and angular.

His delts are weird and he has no neck.  One ugly dude.

Looks like a science experiment gone wrong.

About a year and a 1/2 ago, it made more news on the Spanish speaking side, as that was where he was making most of his money and doing most of his marketing -

Ken Jones vanished, I wonder where he is now.

Insane amount of mass, surprised he didn’t win more smaller shows

But I guess when going up against Melvin at smaller show Melvin would get the nod

Good ol' Lonnie Teper, getting overly excited in a bathroom while watching a muscleman pose in his underwear. Imagine what the fellas entering and leaving the bathroom are thinking.

LOL at 0:53 "I do the interview and you just do the taping".

Another guy that disappeared. I did a little deep dive seeing if he had any recent stuff around, and the closest I got was a decade old Canadian forum post that said he was still training around 2010 or so. Palumbo was thinking of doing an interview with him a few years ago, maybe he drew a blank also.

That healthy routine also has been a plus for Bertil Fox and Melvin Anthony longevity.

He presented himself many times as being Puerto Rican, but he was venezuelan after all. Gustavo that is.

Well, he lived in Puerto Rico and represented Puerto Rico in bodybuilding so it seems he could call himself Puerto Rican. Venezuela and Puerto Rico are directly across from each other, and most people would rather be in Puerto Rico than Venezuela (these days).
