Man Ronnie looked fabulous ! they did the right thing by judging him first and not going with the heir apparent on name alone

Funny, in the opening scenes, Joe Weider is getting out of a limo.
In "The Final Countdown" from Shawn Ray, the video shows all the BBers walking to the contest.
Contrast.

I remember Jacko Strauss was walking around the expo with a shirt that read "The Biggest Arms In The World!"

looked like a douche bag with those oil filled bags!

Greg Kovaks was there and was just a giant!

Neither clip showed (haven't watched the whole thing of the OP's link yet) that they were right next door.
My ESP doesn't work that well.
You're right, it would make sense. But you obviously missed the underlying sarcasm in my post.

"They now look upon bodybuilders as an official sport, official athletes like any other sport that are on the olympic program. So we have reached a goal, where after all these years of work and dedication we are there. We are olympic athletes, we are recognized as an olympic sport and our goal now is to work for participation."

funny how that worked out huh.

Notice when Ben Weider said the first part of his speech, "When Samaranch came to me and said...'Welcome to the Olympic Family,' ect...."

Did you notice there were about 3 people clapping?
Nobody seemed to care.
And since the IFBB has long since been dropped from that Olympic Family, The Weiders are still the only ones that seem to care.

see, if you weren't so scared and ran from the truce thread and other threads, you would know that is not true.

I hardly ever mention your name.

only when responding directly to one of your many idiotic posts..

LMMFAO you constantly follow me around trolling your stupid opinion highjacking every thread I post in

Look at your signature underneath your avatar and now look at every post you make on this board, no matter the thread...it's all about Dorian. Dorian and ND own your pathetic mind, shit, it's got to be Yates 24/7 in your fucking skull. It never stops, you are so insecure about another BBer that it's almost gay and schmoe like. Get with it man.

Yates owns your mind. Simple as that.

omg.. ::) that is so cheesy it shows why the public think BB is for tools and losers.

the start with weider getting out (squirming along the back seat) of the white limo..

and whats with the music?...are they too cheap to come up with something each year or at least better than what's been used for the last 10?

im sooo glad i dont prance around in gyms anymore...

Awesome


once i watched it fully- got past the cheesy start i realised how much levrone got screwed. BIG TIME.

fourth place...

lumps of muscle wins pro bb contests and if you have lumps of ripped muscle, with a great back, then you win olympias.

what a joke.

THE best physique onstage at that mr.o, and some preceding- was levrone..much like Dex's physique is today.

the whole sport went haywire after the 1993 mr.o.

I often think that people forget just how AMAZING and STUNNING my Nasser looked in 98. In terms of mass AND aesthetics AND symmetry he is simply beyond reproach.

As GH15 say, Nasser is as good as it gets.

When nassar turns around , he back looks like shit and the synthol in his rear delts look like meatballs in spaghetti ... a very smug interview too, i wish someone would slap the shit out of him

Kevin deserved his placing, he lacked the detail to compete with Ronnie or Flex and was outmassed by Nasser.
Levrone's back also couldn't match Flex's or Ronnies.

Awesome find! I've been looking for that vid for a while now.  I was at the show and the crowd went nuts when Coleman hit each post at the night show.  The video doesn't capture that aspect but to be there was awesome.
