a couple thoughts:

- awesome music during Gaspari's training
- mispelled "Knight" of Champions
- is it me or were bb back then more separated and detaield back then? drugs?
- everyone trained LIGHT - some sissy weight being pumped
- strydom's voice was NOT what I was expecting
- Mike Christian was awesome - too bad his legs were too small

Thanks Mike!

Yeah, it kept stopping for me too and I had to restart at the beginning.  So I gave up after that happened a few times because I was tired of watching the opening sequence over and over.  I'm using Firefox, maybe that's the problem?

Gary's originally from South Africa.

Maybe it was me, maybe it was the times...  but like some other guys said, BB seemed so much more exciting back then and the pros were so much more personable and charismatic.  And of course as was mentioned, the physiques had a different look, one which I vastly prefer to today.

Exactly.  It was so much more fun back then.  In the gym the guys were so open to talking and teaching.  As you saw so many people would just stand and stare.  That is why I truly believe BB has gone backwards in a major way.  The PDI and Wayne is going to bring this back.  That is what he wants to do.  Make BB exciting and fun for the fans and competitors.  If you never go to another show in your life go to the NOC and see what he has planned.  It is what the PDI is all about.  Bringing back the fun and excitement that big corporate business has taken away.  If anyone here doens't believe that is better and that the PDI at least doesn't deserve to try then really you need to get into Darts or Backgammon.

I saw a lot of physiques there that I aspire to...unlike when I watch BFTO...

I have always been a HUGE Mike Quinn fan, I guess I had that attitude a couple of years ago (I meelowed out some with age) but I love to see QUinn training and talking like only he does

Thanks for the vid

188 lb. sammir beat a 230 haney.  even though haney did eventually have his record win streak, back then guys main concerns were quality muscle gains & enlargement with weight being a secondary issue.  even though there is some correlation between body weight and muscle mass, those guys kept average or at least above average weights while still having extremely large muscle mass.  they looked heavier than they were.
       i started lifting over 6 years ago & had a friend that wanted to train too, (he didn't last more than 1 month, as most people tend to do when it comes to weight training) from the start he said his goal was (he was about 135 at the time) to be 230lbs, but be shredded and ripped to look like he was 180.  that never made any sense to me, still doesn't.  at the time I might have been about 115-118 so thinking for shorter term reachable goals i said i would rather be 180 and look like i'm 230.  well i'm close to 190 now, with high end single digit body fat (8 or 9%), and i still have the same mentality, although 230 is now attainable as a somewhat short term goal, i rather just break 200 and see from there.   ;D
