His physique was so aesthetic it didn't look real. If he had more chest and back thickness, the judges would have no choice but to give him the Olympia.

oh it happened. the damn thing has been done for MONTHS. issues with licencing or somesuch forced them to destroy it. Branch and JOJ have to re-shoot the whole flipping thing (source-MD column)

if he had released it right after the Arnold when his stock was at an all-time high, he would ahve made a FORTUNE. oh well . . .

That's the 95 miami show.

I'll go with that. Maybe even early 96'.... his calves are getting sort of funky, delts are still OK, and his hairline is fading a bit.
