And we will never ever figure out what happened to Orville either...we all know about the surgery gone wrong, the reaction he supposedly had. However, aside from that info, anything else has been swept under the rug. Every message board I've been on in the last 10yrs (approximate) since his accident has deleted anybody trying to figure out what happened to Orville.

Tom Prince used to just delete the comments and then say "we'd rather not talk about fellow IFBB Pro Orville Burke" or something to that effect.

Chris Duffy of all people blamed it on higher testosterone levels than others, he said that blacks never had to work for back thickness they just have it naturally and whites had to deadlift their asses off for it, he said it in an old back training article he had in Flex years ago.

Didnt someone say they ran into him and he is just living a normal life now out of the bodybuilding scene?

Orville had one of the sickest backs ever...
There was a great article in the March 2002 Muscle and Fitness of him training back with Mattarazzo.Tried to find that article but only found this.Awesome read if anyone has this back issue.




In The Trenches: Shake, Rattle and Row
Fresh off their onstage rumble at the Night of Champions in New York City, Mike Matarazzo, Victor Martinez, Jamo Nezzar and NOC champ Orville Burke push one another to the limit in a brutal back training session.

I don't recall that, not saying it didn't happen but I probably missed it.

Even if he is just a normal human again, it just makes me curious as to why any and all info regarding his post surgery condition is swept under the rug.

Met him in Danbury Ct, in 2001 where he was guest posing.................p retty cool guy, and just incredibly huge in person........interacted backstage just like one of the guys so to speak.

Valentino was the trophy presenter, and although I`m not a fan,was as funny as hell.

Do you have the link by any chance? I'd be interested to see what he looks like nowadays.. the man has become a bit of a legend since his disappearance.

no man i wish i did, the only thing i can suggest is try looking for it in their archives, type both of their names into the search engine, i remember they were both covered in baggy sweatshirts doing barbell inclines but you could clearly tell that Orville was carrying a lot of muscle.

There was an article in FLEX back in the 90s where he mentioned that his back got that wide from his doing chins everyday around the time he started lifting, when he didn't know much about training. One of the few times you can actually believe what you read in FLEX re. bodybuilder routines.

Orville did a photo shoot once for the mags, there was a picture of him standing on the street with some kind of military rocket launching tube.  (square kind that holds 4 rockets).  That was a bad ass pic.  If he showed up on stage like he looked in that pic, he would have been unbeatable.
