For Ray to be a threat... He couldn't be "off", not even by a little bit. He had to be dialed-in 100% and totally shredded.

Otherwise guys like Levrone, Wheeler, Nasser, Cormier, and Dillet would crush him.

Even 100% he still got beat , Flex was ' off ' because he dominated the springs shows in 93 and by the time of the Olympia he was off and still beat Shawn

Shawn has a very small frame and light bones. Also did not abuse slin and gh like dorian. was afraid to try new things too. With that small frame he could not stand ground with the big boys. he looked real small dressed up in clothes back in the day....lol

Was a gossip machine....lol

In this clip, Shawn gets lost in the mix. The show was between Yates and Wheeler

Shawn Ray best abs (serratus-intercostals) of all time.

No , Labrada has more career wins and in my opinion a better physique. Lee has 7 career wins ( in 10 years as a pro ) compared to Ray's 2 in 14 years as a pro. Lee never finished below 5th place in a professional contest

96 wasn't....I was there. Challenged from the front, unbeatable from the back poses.

Nasser had him beat one year

Dorian Yates looked like a 300 pound lump of shit. His era started Pro Bodybuilding's long death spiral.

Shawn Ray looked like what a Mr Olympia should look like.

Let's say Yates never came into the equation . Shawn was still NEVER going to win the Mr Olympia. Flex , Labrada , Levrone , Clairmonte , would have smoked him

It could have been the fact Shawn wasn't liked much. had a big mouth and talked a lot of shit. Rubbed people the wrong way (pun intended)

Were the judges on crack?

No, instead of taking individual pics & comparing pic to pic, they actually put them next to each other. Yates was much bigger, thinker, denser, more conditioned. Look at the side by side pics posted by ND.

Other reasons he wasn't Mr O include Haney, Lebrada, Coleman, Flex, Levrone & Nassar. Ray looks amazing, but was beaten by these guys side by side.

Wiggs · « **Reply #37 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:13:20 PM »

If these shows were judged the way they read, Dorian would have never won another show after 93. He had one arm and a wide waist. He is the beginning of the end of bodybuilding. He took it too far and created the all drug look. He looked like shit in 97 I don't care who won but it shouldn't have been him. You can't be Mr. Olympia with arm, that's bullshit.

I always laugh when I see that vid and see Flex go over to Shawn and they give a quick hand slap to one another.

1,2,3...probably the best 1,2,3 of all time.

I think that was a chick who was messing with Shawn...Azure who used to post on this board had apparently a relationship with Shawn or Flex.

Shawn had better abs than Dex, and Shawn's quads were more striated. It could be argued that Shawn had a better chest than Dex as well.

Flex Wheeler said that about Shawn's dick....

It was uneccesary

From what I remember Flex had said a woman said that. There was a lot of smack talk between the two. From Shawn saying Flex had calf implants. You look at Flex's Hardbody vid, and you can see Flex was always smack talking someone. From Rico to Chris Comier to Charles Glass.

Yes, Flex didn't examine shawn himself... a woman apparently did.. and told Flex

But Flex should not have told that story to the bodybuilding media

It may or may not be true

If I recall shawn did come on here about the small penis thing and didn't deny nor confirmed it. He said something a long the lines at least it works fine

Dorian's last two Olympias were gifts. Same as Jay in 07, Ronnie's last two. In dorian's first 4, nevermind. It was lights out for him. That's the thing with Heath at 4. He can easily get 7 because he hasn't recieved his two gift placings yet.

BS...Yates was great in 1992,1993, and 1995. He looked good in 1996 and deserved his V. However, he looked like ass crack in 1994 and 1997. The last one was a gift. 1994 he was the reigning champ so he got the nod. His best year by far is 1993 and then even with the fucked up bicep 1995.
