The Mr Olympia Venue and Location
bic_staedtler:
What do you guys think....with the O pretty much in Vegas to stay, do you think it was better when it used to go all over the world? I think it'll stay in Vegas if only due to the money factor...cheaper for the majority of competitors and fans to see.
But I'd still like to see the big show get a global treatment. Probably not gonna happen. What y'all think?
bic_staedtler:
I think it'd be HUGE in Australia.
I think the fact that shows worldwide aren't doing well is that the participants in those countries might be finally realizing that doing "whatever it takes to win" isn't worth it. Scoring the drugs and the complications both healthwise and legally being a big reason, I'd say.
The IFBB basically has a "monopoly" on bodybuilding, so they can make the rules...and as long as it's making coins for those in the States, I guess they're happy. Not good for future growth, I think. I don't think moving the O around would 'save' bodybuilding, but it would make it a truly international affair.
Imagine the extra trouble it took for Haney to peak after those flights! Imagine the bitching you'd hear about it nowadays....I mean, after all, the Gran Prix is all but dead.

Really, Australia ??? I think the best turnout would be somewhere in North Antarctica ;D
