That is a totally absurd statement. You need your eyes checked.
Gaspari was one of the most overrated BBers ever. The fact that he won the first Arnold Classic (beating Bob Paris, Samir, Robby Robinson, Bertil Fox) is absolutely ridiculous. I was there... half the crowd was booing when he was announced as the winner.
No, it's called a critical and unbiased observation, and no, I have nothing against Arnold; he inspired me to start lifting.
I'm not saying that Gaspari is a great bodybuilder, but he's a good example of someone
with vascularity. Hard to say, who 'should' have won the '89 (correct?) AC, since all of them had great physiques.
