I love the Excalibur music he used. I know that was one of Haney's favorite movies, and it's one my favorites as well.

Both pieces are from the same movie. The movie "Excalibur" that came out in the early 80's.

Thanks ND for posting that! I was there on the front row and that routine is the single most awe inspiring moment I have ever witnessed in bodybuilding...The final appearance of a King!

Hard to tell.  I'll say this, his stage presence was unbelievable.  This is the first Haney video that I have ever seen and still pics do him no justice.  His thickness with such a small waist was just ridiculous.

Great video.  Thanks for posting it.

I was there too.  Haney was the last 250 pound bodybuilder to have a wasp waist with amazing size.  :o :o  Surprisingly, although not to the extent of Haney, Dorian did also (at that time).  Thus, as I have said all along, Dorian was really a great bodybuilder until 1993.  After that, he decided to go for the size game and is physique sufferred as a result.  If Haney could have stayed with the game and progressed year to year; I feel Yates would have been lucky to get one Mr. Olympia.  However, that is assuming Haney did nothing between 1991 and 1993.  Too bad we will never know.  One thing is clear, none of the Mr. Olympia after Haney could claim to have a vacuum when they posed.

He was a fantastic poser - as a Mr Olympia should be. No raising the roof for him.
I wish both he and Dorian would come back for a one off contest - to determine who really is the greatest.

By this point Haney would have no problem with Yates he can't even train like he used to .

Excellent routine.  Amazing that he utilized this routine in his final Olympia, and he did the exact same routine in his first Olympia win in '84 at the Felt Forum in Madison Square Garden--NYC.

I feel that by looking at them, Haney just looks healthier than Coleman or Yates.  The latter two have obviously abused their bodies with gross amounts of chemicals.  Dorian looks twenty years older than his real age.  Coleman, he gets fat in the offseason.  Granted, in shape Coleman looks amazing, but he really does let himself go for the six months after the Olympia.  Dorian got fat also.  Haney never got overly out of shape.  He did a show on ESPN in the early 90's where he was always ripped.  I know he juiced heavily, but he did not have that GH/insulin look that Yates and Coleman have.  The only bodybuilder right now who does not look overly drugged up is Heath.  He is also about fifty pounds smaller than Coleman.  In the future, if the small waist and aesthetics do dominate, I have a feeling that BBing will move away from all of the GH and insulin.  For one thing, it is exceedingly dangerous.  For another, the competitiors seem to have a shorter lifespan in the sport.

Haney was never sliced @250lbs. 1991 was his all-time best @ 242lbs.

You're not going to look healthy when you're as heavy as the current guys (from Dorian onward) get. Too much weight for your height is going to make look like crap, whether its muscle or not.

Yeah, well close enough. At two weeks out he was probably 250 and looking incredible.

The last song was Carl Orff’s “O Fortuna” from Carmina Burana

Thank you ND, I did read somewhere that Haney was close to 250 (I believe it was Ironman or Flex).  BTW,seeing how impressive Dorian looked at 257 (1993), what do you think Haney would have had to improve upon to beat him that year.  I feel he needed at least 10 pounds on his legs and maybe get his arms up a bit.  Haney's torso was always the thickest and most impressive in bodybuilding.  Ronnie may be bigger now, but for that era Haney was untouchable through his chest/shoulders and back. I feel his taper would have given him a very good chance to beat Yates 1993 if his legs came up.  For 1992 and the other years, I don't feel Dorian was really capable of beating him.
