How was Rockel not even in the top 15?!

rocket · « **Reply #1 on:** October 02, 2006, 05:36:05 AM »

Because the top 15 was full of really good physiques.

True story.

Really? You think this is a better physique?

Sorry I should have said really good physiques and "automatic placements for those who've paid their dues"

RR has a great physique, hope he gets his dues soon...

He was the only physique that impressed me. Maybe it was the lighting, but seeing most of those guys at Flexonline really made me question why I even follow bodybuilding, and then there were the few like Ronnie Rockel.

He's at least better than Darrem Charles who is totally unbalanced.

Another similarity to pro wrestling. They don't give their phony titles to new guys either.

Rockel and Martinez had two of the best overall physiques there. Period. Top 6 for sure.

ronnie has a physique that most can aspire to if they have the right kindas budget

i wish he and a few others placed higher..but hte olympia is a freak show *shrug* guys like him can only hope to make a living at the smaller shows.

I agree on Martinez, a really good surprise...Toney Freeman and Melvin where had also very good presentations of their physiques.
But i was dissapointed with a lot of guys coming off this year...Gunter, Mustafa, Johnnie and Branch (well, the last two may have suffer a little with the shows too much close of the O, specially Johnnie)

But i always imagine the damage Lee could have done to this line up!!! i would put him at least at 4th behind Martinez!!!

You're right, man. Rockel looked pretty solid. All politics. All politics.

Olympia is a size game. RR doesn't have the size.

2005 & 2006....Ronnie Rockel was screwed. And this time the blue blazers can't blame it on the Dream Tan.

How the heck did Rodney st-cloud make the top 10 and Ronnie Rockel place so low??? It seems like GAY for PAY is much more respected. $:-\$

Not bad, not the best lat spread though

Amazing because some of the idiots on this board actually think he could have been top 5. Stupids.

He was conditioned but smooth he was somewhere in between 13 to last maybe. He placed where he should have. Great upside though.

Bullshit! The man got overlooked pure and simple. Cutler now he was smooth.

Ronnie has paid his dues. He has continually been overlooked over the last couple of years. How well should he have placed, you got me? the man deserves a fair shake.
