This appears to be some movies that the narrator filmed at the contest
-
Strongest first post I’ve seen in a long time. You’re going to do well here.
-
His name escapes me but the person who narrated and filmed that was a nice guy. God rest his soul. He once asked me for my address and he sent me a VHS that he filmed of the first Olympia. The lighting was terrible and well as the footage but it was great to see. I think he uses a super 8 to film it. He also sent me a print of a painting by Chuck Sipes. He did this because he said I said some kind things about his friend Sipes and his terrible suicide. I want to say his name is Norm Komich but I'm drawing a blank. Wes would know.

Hey man - don’t beat yourself up. What’s important is that your error was pointed out and you acknowledged and then promptly corrected yourself!
A lesson that a guy we know would do well to learn!!! 😁

Bro? I guess that went over my head.

Yep; Arnold won.

Damn, Arnold looked worse than I thought

That's funny, first thing I thought was the same thing . My next thought was despite being way off he looked better than I thought, compared to everyone else. They all look like manlets next to him and no one carried as much mass.
This video will finally, and thankfully, put an end to this idiotic debate.

Norm Komich (RIP) a great person. I have various CD's he gave me at the old Strongman dinners (AOBS).
He was also good friends with D-Mass and we would all sit together at the dinner... He was close friends w/ Chuck Sipes back in the day.
Norm was a pilot in the Air-Force, and then commercial when he got out.

Arnold had a shitty back and shitty legs.
Mentzer won.
-
Arnold was definitely not his best, yet still good enough to win.
His combined overall look and charisma is unmatched. His legs where weak as was his back in comparison to the others.
Yet he dominated in overall size, posing,charisma. His ability to present a weaker version of himself against the current pros says a lot of his mastery.
There very well may have been some bullshit going on in his favor via the Weiders.
It was their show, they created it and Arnold was always going to win. To be their consumate promoter.
Not one of the competitors that day where ever going to promote bodybuilding to the level Arnold did.
Too bad Arnold did not show up a little bigger in the legs and back as we all know there would be ZERO debate.
-
All Arnold really had in this show were biceps and shoulders
Everything else was sub-par including his chest and of course his legs were terrible.
Mentzer looked better than I expected from previously just seeing photos
Zane and Dickerson both looked really good
It was cool to see the individual posing routines

will you just fuck off with the constant gimmick searching
What fucking difference does it make?
-
His calves were huge, his chest was huge, if his was sub par everyone elses was crap. His quads in some shots were a bit slender but not all and the separation was there. His back double bi was still great, maybe lacking the thickness relaxed but his rls was wider than anyone else's.

Zane , Coe , Arnold immediate standouts in the opening line up
callender, mentzer, walker all about the same - Cock up his arse dickerson
went unnoticed - cleary the other comparisons come into play.
From that video if anyone had a right to bitch it would be Zane.
Remember 1st impressions count.
-
Roger Walker looked the best I ever saw him.

Yes! He looked a little smooth like he missed his peak by a few days. If he came in dry and shredded he would have crushed everyone. He was the only top 6 guy who matched or beat Arnold in mass.
-
I always failed to see why Zane didn’t win 1980.
He was maybe 10% below his best, but Arnold was 30% or more below his best.

Having crushed balls didn't help.

don´t think it was his balls but he snapped something during a swimming pool accident, or so the story goes.
even at his best i doubt if he would have won anyway because we all know the story.

Yup, Mentzer was untouchable

Zane looked amazing. Maybe the most ripped he ever was. The problem was he was down in weight. Never under stood how the lawn chair collapsed while tanning and sliced his dick cutting his urethra. That had to hurt. Imagine being rushed to the emergency room with your dick gushing blood?
He said he weighed 183 for the 1980 contest. Down in weight from his 190 something Olympia wins. Still think he looked fantastic. I know there is a lot of hate for Dickerson because of his gayness but he deserved his second place. Maybe should have been first. Again Mentzer didn't come in first, second or third. He came in fifth. Yes, Boyer Coe looked better.

I met Dickerson once as our gym owner hired him as a guest poser.............he was gay,but was a really nice guy,well dressed, and was very polite and humble.
I cringe and my balls shrivel up everytime the Zane vs. lawn chair incident is mentioned..........OUCH!!!

Any video footage of “the confrontation”

God that would be epic.
We would see Arnold walking in like he owned the place... expecting everyone to just take his arrogant bullshit. Then seeing Mentzer telling him to back off.
Arnold pulled his arrogant crap with Ferrigno in South Africa. But seriously that routine got old quick.
Arnold was even telling lies about not attending his father’s funeral. He was calling Franco Colombu a “child” behind his back.

I think the best interview to watch is from John Hansen & Roger walker.

Arnold on cocaine acting all weird. So embarrassing.

I´ve heard of bodybuilders drinking whisky before a show but cocaine ? I did read that story too about arnold. Probably why Bill pearl was reported as saying arnold was very aggressive on stage, basically doing what he wanted.
would make sense as arnold was underweight ( i believe) & not so confident as usual.
-
Zane in at least one of his previous wins weighed 177.

I really admire his longevity in the sport. Amazing he was at his best in his forties. In the late 70's and early 80's he looked like he was craved from granite.

According to the John Hansen/Roger Walker interview, the 1980 Olympia was not a “competition”, it was a “show”.
As Roger Walker stated: 8 weeks out from the 1980 Mr Olympia... why would Arnold, who was 5 years into retirement, suddenly decide to compete?
Answer: because he was “more than friends” with the promoter.... who had told Arnold that he would be given 1st place.

They were wrasslin' buddies?

The promoter Paul Graham. Who had previously gone to jail to save Arnold and the then to be Weiders golden child back in California is so it's told. Paul ended up with IFBB in Australia for life basically lining his own pockets and never advancing the sport or the athletes, even after guys like Doherty who had a true love of the sport appeared, anyone who ever made it in bodybuilding down under did it themselves with no help or guidance, they never introduced a pathway to pro, Doherty did that or they did after he was going too. It was simply a cashcow for life run a show there and pay them or partner with them.

Yeah, damaged urethra from an accident at the pool. Same area of the body regardless. A very frightening injury I'm sure. Hopefully, Christina didn't have to go without sex for long.
