The '88 Road to The Olympia was the only one I've seen. They used to show it on the Discovery Channel and I taped it on VHS. I loved the banter between Haney and Mike Christian, and the footage of people like Gaspari and Albert Beckles training. Those were the days. Haney was such a classy champ.

How much coke did Mike Christian do before his interview?  He's jumpy as fuck.

To this day I do seated cable rows the way Christian did in that vid. He leans all the way back before sitting upright and starting his reps. It's such a habit now I can't start the set any other way.

it's amazing how much the business has changed, Victor Richards was looked at back then like he was the freakiest dude around and looking at his clip he couldn't win the NPC jr. Nationals today sizewise, amazing.

damn it looked like Lee Haney was really angry in Mike Christians clip at the end, i think Mike thought he was joking around but Lee looked pissed off.
