I’m only a minute in and Arnold is already acting like an asshole. Ken Waller can at least do it while being funny. Cool video nonetheless!

I will never forget Waller's kindness and sense of humor when I first went to the original Gold's and bought an XXXL tank top and I think I had a 34" chest.  He just looked at me and said something along the lines of "you're gonna need more than the Weider Principals to fill that out, kid".  He didn't stop there but none of it was mean spirited and he really was a good guy.  He got me a few more times on different visits to the gym but again, all in good fun.

Arnold can also borrow my bathmath, me and Rob C are both advocates of it, and proven results of thick, meaty, and veiny cocks

Every time I see Paul Grant, he reminds me of Joswift.

They have very similar builds and hairstyles.

One of the first yes.

To his defense, in that room there were easily about 10 women, so there was nothing gay about his peeling.

Interesting discussion about the union.

Arnold must have been using that as an angle to force the weiders into a payment/power move for himself.

Weiders made a killed from pumping iron to the 90s. It's a shame the bodybuilders didn't get a fair slice.

You know Arnold probably pulled a Hulk Hogan, and immediately went to Joe and ratted everybody out.

Robby in his book, is mostly indifferent to Waller. Waller was nice to Robby when he started at Gold's, but then Robby started seeing Jealousy and slight racism, as Robby always does.

On the Union, he doesn't discuss this filmed version (or maybe this is just early into it), but -

"Just when I was doubting that I would be able to make a living at bodybuilding, the guys began talking about starting a union for bodybuilders. We were all excited, because we thought this could really bring some needed changes to our sport, particularly some kind of guaranteed income. Even though Muscle Builder portrayed us as a group, we were divided. I started to see how Joe had made that happen. He would give one guy a paycheck and not another. Then he’d tell the first guy, “don’t tell the other guys or they will want to get paid, too.” So no one dared discuss their pay, for fear of retribution.

The meeting about forming a union was held at the Holiday Inn on Colorado and Pacific in Santa Monica. We all showed up, including Arnold, and took our seats. I was surprised when Joe and his brother Ben, who was president of the IFBB, walked in and took seats at the table in the front of the room. I thought, “Well, I suppose we have to meet with the heads of the organization to discuss and agree on new rules and regulations.” This was the first time I had seen Ben, probably because he ran the federation from his Montreal office. Ben was stiff and lanky and carried himself with more of an air of importance than Joe who was looser and had more of a swagger. Whereas Joe had the power to make or break a bodybuilder with his magazines, contracts and influence, Ben held sway over the judges and our placing. I could see he was not happy with the idea of giving up any of his power.

Without any hesitation, Ben stood up and said sternly, “There will be no union,” hitting his clenched fist on the table. With that, Arnold stood up, walked to the front, kissed Joe and Ben on their cheeks and walked out of the room. All of our jaws dropped, because we thought we had Arnold’s support behind the union. We had all talked about it and agreed that if we came at them as a group, they would have no choice. Now it was clear whose side Arnold’s was on."

From there, he talks about how the whole thing fell apart.

It would have been successful if they held it at the Mirage hotel

Cold fucker. He must have got a nice bribe from the Weiders out of that. The way he used everyone around him to rise to the top was crazy.

"Jus wen I woz dowtin dat I wud be able to make money from bodybuildin, da guyz began talkin bout startin a union for bodybilderz. We woz all exsited, cuz we fort dis kud really bring sum needed changes to our sport, particularly sum kind of guarantid income. Even though Muscul Bilder put us togetthere, we woz dividd. I startid to see how Joe had maid dat happen. He would giv one guy a paychek and not anuther. Den he’d tell da first guy, “don’t tell da otha guyz or dey will want to get paid, too.” So no one dared discuss dere pay, for fear of retribushun.

Da meetin' 'bout formin' a union woz held at da Holidai Inn on Colerado and Pacific in Santa Monika. We all showed up, includin' Arnol, and took our seats. I woz surprized when Joe and his brothr Ben, who woz president of da IFBB, walked in and took seats at da table in da front of da room.
