Post by: The True Adonis on September 28, 2007, 06:03:34 PM
Is this one the worst ever as far as interest, both for the "sport" and financially?

why do you think ronnie has a chance?  I've never seen him (a) look this small (albeit in sweats, FWIW) and (b) his attitude is completely different. resigned. . . fatalistic.  que sera, sera bullshit.

meanwhile, no real noise from victor . . . but if there's a surprise, that's probably where it will come from.

Fuck i agree ever since Lee Priest stopped writing for MD it sucked.

Well i only bought one issue after. It sucked.

Mr.O, great year. If Jay wins this year by a mile next year without Ronnie will be boring.

Anyone that's won as many Mr. Olympia's as Ronnie has has a chance to do pretty much anything he sets his mind to, if you ask me.

The real question is does Ronnie have enough left in his tank to pull it off. IF he can come in at 85-90% of his old self he annihilates Jay, always has. But it's a pretty big "if" :P

Last year Ronnie only lost cause his condition was off. Really off compared to 98, 99, 03 and 05. He was still bigger than everyone and still looked great at the grand prix's. You can tell he is in condition this year, Jay can get him on size though i think he has gone past him a little.

I haven't really paid attention since 2003, this olympia seems like it should be good.

Not really IMO.

Jay's been the same size for years.

If you really pay attention, you realize that after a couple of years that they really put it together, these guys slowly get worse, not better

Yeah, it's the most drama the IFBB's had in years . . . but I wonder if there will be a real "battle" at the end (in which case Ronnie's attitude will matter) . . .

if jay wins and vic is an exstremely close second then next yr will bring back the excitement of 06(well not totally)!

I think the ronnie /jay scenerio ran its course do to ronnies age and deterioration!

Lets leave out the bullshit judging for awhile.

There are a few indicators that the interest is actually growing.

*The total prize money was higher than ever.

*The expo was bigger than ever.

*The auditorium seemed to be filled out very well.

Thoughts?
