Open is gonna be kinda boring without Hadi, Jacked and neckzilla. Hopefully they get their visas or whatever sorted

I think all 3 should be fine,unless I’ve missed something. Hadi has multiple year work visa as an Evogen employee. Jacked has been traveling back and forth from Dubai bunch of times and Neckzilla ?? He is Colombian so he should be able to get in.
IMO Arnold should bring back 212.

Poster said pending on them 3. Assumed it must be visa related/getting them in time.

Oh I didn’t even pay attention to it. Hadi definitely wants to redeem himself, but if Samson beats him he’ll go batshit crazy IMO.

Hadi for the win. As Patrick noted, if he gets beat - he's gone. Losing his title is one thing, losing a non-Olympia show will send him away from the sport. And probably in a volatile manner

I actually think they should do away with 212. Let them all compete in the open. You have the current and former Mr Oly Pia's being former 212 competitors and several other 212 guys that have done well in open shows. I want to see images like Priest standing next to Dillet again

I completely understand your replay Bestia . As a bodybuilding fan I would rather see 212 back then all the other crap such as MPD,Bikini etc .

Totally agree on doing away with all the strictly money categories. MPD bikini wellness figure - hell even classic. Can you imagine what some of the classic guys and their frames would look like if there was only open and they trained and geared for that level? That is the kind of shit I want to see

Steve W. loves Samson ,no way him in 3rd .I would not be surprised if he beats undeservedly Hadi.Samson will never gets shredded with Milos ,Hadi will makes him look 8 weeks out.
-
Hadi for the win. He is in "not fucking around" mode. If Rubiel competes he will deserve 2nd but Samson will get it instead. If Rubiel gets in great condition he is a threat - even with his imbalances. He did what Vito should have done - jump into a show with minimal bullshit hype, shock people, and then watch them scramble to downplay how good he is and will be. Outside of the top 3 zi hope that James and Jon do well - pulling for them to get in their best shape.
Hope all is well Patrick
-
Looking at the Olympia scorecard in one or two of the judges eyes Samson was better than 3rd, so he isn't that far away from Derek and Hadi.
If they are judging the posing round this year then I can see Samson beating Hadi, but it will be close.

Bang on with Good Vito !!Dude should not cry about having troubles as an Russian citizen to travel .By now he should be Brazilian /it takes year from marriage/I won’t hold my breath to see
him in the stage
Was hoping to see Krizo ,but he has mentioned he’ll qualify in Spain again.
-
James is looking tight but small in his latest shots. I'm worried this is going to be another less-than-expected showing and he is going to hang it up. Outside of Samson I don't think Milos does much with his guys as far as improvements.
-
Neckzilla is out ,visa issue.
-

Hadi doesn't see to handle adversity very well, even minor stuff. While the Olympia (not really minor) he blew his top a bit.
When Rx and Aceto said he had "Jimmied Delts" he blew his top, threatened to sue Rx, etc.. LOL ::)
-
I dont see thong man Hadi getting "beat", he is looking crazy.

Walker is doing NY Pro not Arnold?

I've got an old back pack I don't use if he wants it, just saying 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Correct ,Walker is doing NYPro and playing it safe to qualify for the Olympia .However NY Pro 20k vs ASC 300k is a bit of a difference.

Not a Hadi fan?
Hadis best look hasn't actually come at any of the Olympias. It was a show in Toronto years ago. If something about the Olympia doesn't agree with him, then he could potentially surprise and bring his all time best look here.
If he brings his typical Olympia look then Samson has a good chance of taking the win. Hadi no worse than second though.

Nothing against him personally, I just class him like a Branch Warren type
Hollingshead is my pick literally based on a pic of him I saw today LOL
We'll see :)

He also looked great in Korea few years back.Totally smoked Flex but Steve-O saw it differently.
It’s a shame Hadi wasn’t allowed to travel into the USA for few years otherwise he would have hurt Flex feelings.

Becoming the first former 212 guy to win Mr O probably did that anyway. I mean who even cares now that Flex won a bunch of 212s titles?
Hadi in Portugal

He hasn't really bettered this. Might have even regressed.
