Title: Mr. Olympus
Post by: natural al on May 17, 2006, 05:09:52 AM

hey, does anyone remember a show that was held in the late 70's, I think it was promoted by Dan Laurie...the show was called the Mr. Olympus and I think Sergio won it a couple of times...maybe Serge Nubret and Tony Pearson competed in it.  I think there is a really cool pic from one of these shows with Robbie and Sergio going at it....

Anyway, anyone got any pics or comments on this show?

Dan Lurie's WBBG ran the Mr. Olympus from 1976 through 1979:
Winners:
Sep 12, 1976 Sergio Oliva
Sep 10, 1977 Serge Nubret
Sep 9, 1978  Sergio Oliva
Sep 15, 1979 Tony Pearson

If by Robbie you refer to Robinson, he never competed in the event.

I saw a pic awhile ago and it was Robbie Robinson and Sergio hitting a front double bi in a contest, Robbie still had the big ole fro going so I assumed it was from the 70's..the Olympus was the only show that I could think of that Sergio did from this time frame..anyone know what pic I'm thinking of?
