Ever notice how the Mr. O winners tend to win year after year. When the race is close, go with the default (=previous year's winner), and only crown a new one when the old Number 1 steps down and retires. This is the same logic that Vince McMahon used to use, having Hulk Hogan hold onto the WWF title for long periods of time, to give added prestige to the championship. In this sense, the Mr. O contest results are "fixed." I suspect Weider likes it this way. He likes champs who are yes-men. Someone like Titus or PRiest would be horrible Mr. O's, regardless of whether they really are better than Ronnie, because they would not go with the status quo but would be outspoken.
