Wes, you old pansexual, as a big boxing fan who doesn't take kindly to disrespect, why didn't you dedicate your life to that sport instead of prancing around in your underwear on stage? You could have got your ass kicked by some of the legends from the golden era and wrote a book about it.

He did fight the best in that sport back in the day, but stopped boxing and got bored of it after defeating John Sholto Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry.

On to a new horizon.

So much drug use in the bodybuilding world. If it's not bodybuilding drugs it's recreational drugs.

The biggest asshole I met was Wes. Back in the day through another board we decide to meet for a beer. We never met before. When I arrived there was Wes sitting at the bar. Offered to buy him a drink and told him his back looked great in that picture on the board. Wes started screaming at me. He tried to hit me with a round house and missed but got me in a headlock. I picked him up and dropped him hard on his head. Bouncers were running in our direction. I ran out of the bar and who do I see? It was Wes saying sorry I'm late I had some things to take care of. Who the fuck was I talking to in the bar? Disclaimer: none of this is true.

Me and my buddy Harrishoppedon a Greyhound and were on our way to the contest...........it was mobbed when we got there.

Tons of huge and guys that thought they were huge all flexing and smelling of Ben Gay and shit !

We saw one animal sitting around before the show and we found out his name was Warren Frederick............... .....a true fucking beast.

Once we saw him,and trust me he was fucking huge in person we knew this show was gonna be a good one.

All of a sudden we heard tons of people laughing,screaming,clapping,and just acting insane.................. ..we looked over the veritable sea of people in back of us and saw a huge guy in sunglasses just towering over the mass of people who were following him..............we found out this was the then little known Lou Ferrigno.

Kids and people asked him questions and he compleely ignred them walking blankly through people like he was a striding Steve Reeves in a Herculues flick.

Compleely oblivious to anyone who approached him and he didn`t give a shit.

When he spotted Warren Fredericks who he knew from NYC hel ooked worried,then we heard that Leon Brown was entering the contest.

Leon weighed about a buck 80 but looked insane,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he even beat out Franco for the Most Muscular trophy once which would not have been an easy task for anyone.

After seeing Leon,Lou went up on stage and stepped on the small raised plaform/podium type of thing they posed on back then.

He ccted like he was so huge that the podium might collapse under his immense weight so he announced to Ed that he wasn`t gonna compete and wasn`feeling well.

He wasn`t feeling well because he knew he would get smoked on that stage.

Leon Brown won the overall contest and took home all of the bodyparts trophys as well as the Most Muscular trophy.

Leon Brown became my inspiration that day and fate allowed me to compete with him at he Masters Nats some 30 or so years later.

We shot the shit for over an hour or so...........a true bb legend....while Lou was an insolent clod to everyone there.

No $20 pics back then with that attitude for sure.

You spent a lot of quality time with Chris

To be fair, if we've learned anything from ESF, it's that you can hear a lot of things in one small discussion from someone who is affiliated with drugs.

Also - who said Kamali was a bad guy in person? He has always had a great rep face to face. I know he didn't have that on boards, but I've never heard any bad words about the guy from people meeting him.

Nonsense about demayo. He didn't have a "sponsor" till after he'd turned pro, after he'd already done the Olympia ans after he was dropped by metrx and done jail time.

Typical delusional meth junkie Chris Duffy saying or wanting to believe that Paul DeMayo would be crying over him.

Paul was a good dude who happened to have an addiction to opiates, something that will usually kill you on the east coast. Coke and meth don't typically have the kind of withdrawal, physical withdrawal opiates do, and also don't tend to affect your job performance (except for when you're WITHOUT them &/or trying to kick, on purpose or just without them).

Plenty of bodybuilders have had issues with painkillers, usually in the 90s starting with Nubain, after being told (& reading) how it was "non-addictive".

Last time I saw Paul was at the expo in I believe 02(??) & He'd said he was clean and detoxed, as I was still detoxing with temgesic (remember that Scotty? Aka "Bailey" When you were blowing up my pager for nubain or Vicodin begging for 'bain? & Told you I've got this great shit called "temgesic" aka Injectable buprenorphine?... Fucking junkie). Wasn't long after he'd OD'd on east coast powder heroin and died.

Paul had a queer funding him as an amateur. That was/is not the same one that carried him when he was hitting the skids later on as a pro. The first one he was introduced to when he went as a guest of a member to that gay gym over near Fenway Park. After a while this man dropped him because of Paul's temper issues.

Chris doesn't use meth. At least as far as 2013 when I last spoke with him. I still see Wendy his "gf" that he was supposed to marry but didn't (not that first wife of his Jenny or Joan or whatever) around town and she has also told me in the past that Chris would never touch meth. He used adderall at times to get out of the pot and mushroom fog and that made him jittery. But mostly he just trained while stoned. You must be talking about Bruce Patterson (pro) or Eric Rhodes (not pro but dead) as the meth junkies. They were known for that.

That was fucking funny Rich and sadly enough,it seems familiar to me ! LOL

On a sidenote,nobody has ever gotten out of my headlock an I`ve been put through windows as they tried to escape one.

Went undefeated in wrestling in junior high school.........can`t say much about high school though as I wasn`t there too often!

Another sidenote,it wasn`t all that hard for me to go undefeated as a lot of my matches were forfeited because I weighed about 95 fucking pounds.

John,that was in 1970........... as I mentioned somewhere in the thread,yes it was mentioned in the PI book.

Mt. Park made me infamous for my cameo role as a schmoey looking spectator in the audience scene!!

Also John,I finally got in touch with Jim Jarvis via Facebook and he`s supposed to give me a call soon.

Thanks for profiling him.............I thougt he was more than likely dead instead of kicking ass at 73 years of age.

Just kidding Rob.

Anyway,this kid could have been another Sergio Oliva and I`m not joking in any way shape or form..............a natural phenom.

Let me get some coffee in me and I`ll wow you with stories about this kid he was a fucking animal if there ever was one.

Ive met Kamali backstage after prejudging at the Arnold one year. He was distraught and distracted, maybe over his placing, but he was incredibly polite

Chic was a really good dude too.

Online isnt real life I guess.

Some great stories here, especially from Wes.

Only pro I met was Flex Lewis a few weeks ago at Venice (Italy) airport. He was friendly and courteous although we didn't speak for that long. There were a few other bodybuilders on that flight who I didn't recognise. They were returning from the Yamamoto Pro.

Just got off the phone with an old buddy of mine Jim jarvis............74 years old and still doing greatt in national level contests.
