What was his last wish?

RIP Ric!

For Arnold to appear on his show.

For Ric it would’ve been a huge deal but I guess Arnold didn’t have the 20-30 minutes it would’ve taken to do the interview, which Arnold could’ve done from his couch.

I figured that was it. Agreed. Arnold couldn’t get on Zoom for 20 mins? And imagine missing your best friend’s funeral? What a dickhead. Arnold only cares about Arnold.

We talked a lot of shit over the years, but getbig is probably the last place on the internet with real old school bodybuilding aficionados/primemuscle recovering schmoes.

It's sad now to see the golden era guys slowly dying off.

Even though he's turned into a virtue signalling, beta libtard... it's gonna be a very sad day here when Arnold kicks it.

Ric aged gracefully, he still looked pretty badass at the end.

Arnold's got that saggy dyke look that ageing hollywood guys get from too much botox and cosmetic work.

Yeah, it was fun goofing on him over the "tapes", but for years I truly enjoyed the his videos and all the stories he told. I was born in the early 80's so while I guess a lot of people my age would be inspired by bb in the 90's, It's old school all the way for me.

Ric's problems seemed to start after he snapped both his patella tendons.  He had 2 knee replacements, congestive heart failure, a massive infection in one of his legs that never healed and failing kidneys.  He took many diff prescription drugs including lasix.  He had bad hips, shoulders and back.  He was on roids in the late 60's, 70's and 80's and TRT since his 50's.

Arnold did seem to age quickly, especially after his governorship was finished.  I don't think he ever had any cosmetic work done or botox injections.

Jerry Brainum posted a video this morning (which he abruptly ended after getting very emotional) and in it he mentioned Ric only having one kidney.

No way! I see a face lift and a hair transplant right off the bat! Probably some eye work to get away from the chinky look.

Maybe he doesn't want to be associated with bodybuilders from that era that made porn for a living. It doesn't reflect well on Gold's gym and the bodybuilding crew that worked out there.  Apparently there were a few of the known bodybuilding stars that participated.

A guy who won the Arnold Classic three times fucked a grapefruit and got blown under towels -

.

Drasin was a minor star in an obscure porno film.

My guess is Drasin's channel was too small for Arnold to come out for, and he didn't want him making money off his image. Also Drasin was tight with Robby Robinson, and Robinson did a press tour trying to hurt Arnold's credibility during one of his gubernatorial runs.

There could be an unspoken grudge there.

Just an aside, the artistic vein runs deep in their family it seems, his daughter is a pretty high end fashion photographer -

Dave Palumbo did a nice little tribute to Ric yesterday that was very good -

I met Jerry in the early 90's, probably before he knew who Gates was - lol

Arnold fucked an ugly Guatemalan maid and secretly fathered a child. I think going on a small bodybuilding YouTube channel to talk about the old days for 20 mins is the least of his worries regarding his image.
