Title: Ronnie Coleman Video Backstage After his Final Routine..
Post by: Ron on October 04, 2007, 06:54:20 PM

Seeing Ronnie on stage for the past 10+ years, it was an honour to be at his last finals event, and this is some raw footage of Ronnie as he just finished his 3rd round posing routine, in which he received a standing ovation. It was just too much for the Big Nasty...

Thanks to Big Ron for 10 years of exciting bodybuilding!
Think how the last 10 years would of been without him.
He seems like a grateful person who focuses on the positive
and not the negative. Not only a great bodybuilder but a great man.
(His attitude towards life reminds me much of another great, Lee Haney.)

Now he can go and enjoy life.

That was awkward.  After that looooong pause, I thought he was going to go apeshit.  Glad to see his great attitude and giving credit to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Good luck in your next chapter Ronnie...

I would THE GREATEST of all time.  He matched Lee's reccord and his 98 form was the best package ever displayed on the Olympia stage.

Post by: Necrosis on October 04, 2007, 09:22:10 PM
he sounds alot more intelligent when he is relaxed, i think he has some social anxiety that makes him stammer and lose his focus.

when he is relaxed and calm the dude actually makes sense, and doesnt stutter.

Ronnie sees his whole life behind him, and for a bit is completely overcome with emotion.

Ronnie Coleman = Best bodybuilder ever.

Going to be long time before someone else shows up better than RC at his best.  Now that Jay is Mr O (not hating on Jay) the sport has taken a step backwards.  Haney was better than before him, Yates best was better than Haney's, Ronnies best was better than yates best.  Now I cant ever seeing Jay's best being better than Ronnie's.

One of the things that makes Ronnie so enduring is that you can tell that he absolutely loves bodybuilding.  He is gutted.

amazing how much bigger Ronnie is than the average little 215 pound juicing gym bodybuilder, muscle on top of muscle, makes the average gym guy look like a little bitch.

he should have beat that little bitch jay though.

incredible moment caught on tape. He isnt even my favorite bodybuilder, and i dont even think he deserved ALL the sandows he got, BUT i respect Ronnie a lot, and he made me a fan also. I respect a lot his devotion to do something he likes so much and all his focus on it
He overcomed many difficult things with his drive and his commitment to bodybuilding is probably second to none
Probably the best competitive bodybuilder ever.

Very emotional.....Ronnie is a true champion and a fighter in life.......he has my respect.

Oh, did anyone noticed that when Ronnie was speechless and very sad the song in which Will Harris "walked on the moon" started to play? i "LOLed"

thats what bodybuilding is about. it was a weird time to film but that needed to be caught on tape.. you never see that in bodybuilding.. i know these guys emotions are all over more people need to see it.... i think  it makes people understand theyre not just big dudes but they actually accomplished something.

That's a man very content with his life and his honesty is overpowering!  It's been fun watching Ronnie get crazy bringing an entire different approach to the word "intense".  You have to respect a mans humbleness if not you are a true self-coward and not a man!

Good luck Ronnie...you earned my respect and appreciation!  Nuttin' but a peanut!!! ;D

If I was Ronnie....I probably would have told Ron to go take a walk with his video camera.

I actually thought he WAS going to do that.  When he turned around and noticed Ron coming with the camera he didn't look to happy, almost like he wanted to be alone, at least to take in the moment.


Coleman = best bodybuilder ever!  ;)

Video, pictures ... this is the Olympia.. this is the expo, this is the place where thousands come to see you.  Ronnie is and has been the number one bodybuilder of the past 8-9 years. I take a lot of pics and video. It is part of the aura backstage when you compete, and onstage too, and it the expo. 

All respect for Ronnie, and was surprised on the emotion of Ronnie, as we all felt it. It was an honour, this is the eight time Mr. Olympian who was the best in the world's final dance, at least that we know of.  People only see one side of Ronnie. Well, Ronnie is human, intelligent and can speak quite well. 

There were people behind me, and I couldn't really move back either when I shot that. And all of us were giving Ronnie respect, like he deserved. 

PBW Monday will have a tribute show to Ronnie. I hope they talk about the highlight of his career, his standing ovations (twice at this show), the other side of Ronnie which people don't see.  I am amazed that some of you think bodybuilders just push weights, eat and sleep.  They actually are real people too.

I'm not a huge fan of Ronnie's physique, at least not for many years.

But Ronnie has always been a class act, and has been a tremendous  spokesman and icon for the IFBB.

His talent was clear very early on, before winning the first Mr. O.
