Did I miss something? Ronnie Rockel...

[donrhummy]

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.

That's stupid. how can you be conditioned AND smooth.  You're either conditioned or you're not, and being smooth is NOT being conditioned. He wasn't smooth and he definitely deserved to be top 5.

....Rockel needs to train with Dorian, or at least move to the States to prep for next year.  He's the best Euro bb'er I've seen in recent years.  He won't be denied if he brings it next year...

He didnt make the top 15 because he's European.

Next to The Blade RR has the best aesthetics no question and he should have been top 10 at the least

problem with RR is he couldnīt order a bigmac at mcdonalds because his english is non-existant. not very marketable. his body is perfectly proportioned though. now if he just was 2 or 3 inches taller....

He was smooth from the rear.  Looked good from the front.  You can overconditioned and conditioned.  Ok then let me preface it then.  He was conditioned from the front and smooth from the back.  Better?

Graphicmuscle.com's Meet Ronny Rockel, you can see how his english is not good. He had to stop a few times to get the correct words. But he sounds like Gunter, so that's worth points huh? http://graphicmuscle.com/pop_report.cfm?ReportID=238

The reason he missed the top 15 is simple: He's way too proportionate and symetrical, with no distension
whatsoever!

[Cableguy]

Ronnie Rockel embodies what bodybuilding is supposed to be about: symetrical proportionate development,
where nothing stands out. In that same tradition I would offer BB'rs like Steve Reeves, Serge Nubret,
Bob Paris, Shawn Ray, and Lee Labrada as a few examples.
Don't get me wrong, I love to see the freaks, to see just how big and ripped a human can get! Markus' physique isn't pretty, but from a purely muscular standpoint, he's pretty damn impressive!
Instead of seperating competitors by weight class, maybe they should have two shows: one for aesthetics,
and one for the freaks! Although, bodybuilding being the subjective sport that it is, there might be some
disagreement as to who belongs where. Cormier for instance, has a foot in both camps (when he's in shape, without that friggin' cell phone plastered to his ear!)

those pictures of Dennis James made me feel sick(literally) please don't post them up again, the only time a picture made me feel like that was when I saw Heiko Kallbach. I actually am a big fan of pro bbing also... disturbing

[phyxsius]

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

put down the pipe

[sammy1980]

rockel was top 5 for sure..and the new mr o is melvin anthony..jay and ronnie look like shit, same with dennis james , the guys look big and all in a tanktop, but if you dont have good abs you can never look great. And the only way dennis will be able to fix that is to come in way lighter.

Ronnie Rockel got the shaft.  He was top 10 material.  Hopefully some judges are reading these posts.
