Not even joking, this one hurt. The look on Ronnie's face, man... f*cked up. I feel really bad for the guy, and although Jay probably did deserve this, Ronnie shouldn't have gone out like he did - bloated, depressed and now alone.

Just hope the big dude's alright..

The suicide watch joke last night, while funny, is probably more true than we'd like to believe. This is ALL he had, and now with 2-3 serious injuries (see: left lat, left and right triceps) he's either going to put up the fight of his life to reclaim his crown next year... or he's all done and goes out in a sad, sad way.

Ben should trade in that getup he wears for a real suit... he'd look a lot less ridiculous.

This is actually and very classic , telling shot of one of the great dramas played out in any sport.
It shows the old warrior finally being bested by the younger lion.

wtf what is there to feel sorry about. He won the show 8 times!!

He should take it like a man.

I feel more sorry for Jay getting all those second places.

don't forget the weird old man pulling the strings with the silly grin and bulging slacks.

Hey man, watcha gonna do, if it was anyone of us, we would feel the same.

Ronnie has the competitive heart and pride of a lion....

imagine how poor Jay felt all these years....

But i assume it stings a little more for Ronnie...mostly shock.

You know, regardless of the rights and wrongs of this year's result, props to Jay not only for taking his win (after years of disappointment) with calmness and dignity, but also in the way he acknowledged Ron and raised his hand.

I can't remember Ron being as gracious in victory.

Yeah and that's what I'm saying... it's gotta be hard on him because not only did he lose, but I honestly don't know if he has the body left to give it one more run. His back looked BEAT UP and his triceps... man... I'm STILL in shock

you guys dont think if he game in better shape, he doesnt have the gas left in the tank to take another sandow?? I think he does....

he jus tneeds to be like 280 tops...

imagine he does like Arnold, comes back and wins and retires...

betcha thats what hes gonna do...

only thing against him is b3ing 43....man, to still carry that much muscle at 43, is beyond me.

Ok here is a couple tidbits about Ronnie. I suspect that the guy will be just fine. He always has had a laidback attitude and did what he had to in order to win. The man has a "LIFE", he is still a certified cop and has a college degree in accounting and I believe he has a sexy, steady girlfriend in his life.
I am sure he is bummed out, who wouldn't be. While I am not religious, Ronnie may have been at a church service today, and his faith helped him deal with the loss?maybe?
If he retires he goes down now as one of the all time greats in bodybuilding and into other aspects of his life.
. I for one hope he comes back, one more year, in ripped shape and does battle again, one more time.
THAT would be something to see, with all the new hungry young lions out there now

Very VERY good and relieving post bro. Thanks for that. You're probably right, I think he'll be OK and possibly come back like Arnold to take it and retire.

What's up with the off-colored 'dot' in Jay's lat, under his armpit in that pic?

Palpatine Q · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2006, 11:28:28 AM »

You will never see Ronnie onstage again as a competitor. It's the End of an Era....which is sad in it's own way. Reminds us all that life keeps moving.

The fvcked up thing is between him and cutler he was the better of the two last night, if you were looking for the guy with the best build to win the show, that would be Melvin, Dex or Toney.

McFarland · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2006, 11:30:42 AM »

Ronnie's just over it. He dissed Bob for the radio show a few weeks ago and then just shrugged off the Olympia press conference questions. He's just tired of "playing along." He had a good run, fuck it...there wasn't anything left to do, and I honestly think Jay deserved at least one Olympia win like that after he's basically given his whole being to the sport for over a decade now. Jay knew he was about to win last night, I'm sure he and the "powers that be" had an "understanding" going into this thing. I'm not saying it was unfair or there was a conspiracy, either...I'm just saying that it all played out pretty harmoniously in the end, if you ask me. Poetic justice.

God I hope Ronnie didn't follow Vince G's advice. Good this have been the problem.

Not as fucked up as you would look if U took any drugs TA. Stop all the hating.. They're the 2 best in the world (drugs/no drugs) with more muscle in 1 of their legs than you will ever have in your whole body. Grow the fuck up...
