I think Coleman is awesome and still think he looks great, but he’s got absolutely no shot. No a chance in hell he’ll ever be Mr. O again. Ever. I’d be surprised if he made top 5. If he did I imagine it would be more out of respect for him than because of his physique.
There is a time in every athletes career when he has to realize it’s time to give it up. Hopefully he sticks around for awhile on the scene (promotions, guest posings, etc.) but I think Big Nasty should remain retired from competition.
Yup you’ll see guys Papa Weider will pull some strings…hopefully I wouldn’t want to see Big Ron in the ass end of the top 8. Arnold came back looking nothing like his previous Olympia contests and they gave him the Sandow. Fuck that shit though, he’s a 6 time Mr. Olympia in my book and a backstabbing bitch. [/quote]
he was still arguably good enough to win on that day, giving the Olympia to Franco the following year, well that’s some BS. I agree that his win over “The Myth” can be debated.
Regarding the return to aesthetics vs. size, well Kai blew that theory out of the water huh? I think guys can be freaky large just so long as they are hard and dry. People say well his build won’t be accepted on the Olympia stage, it can be and will be.
Weider is like bill gates and his magazines dictate who’s the center of attention, he gets a hard on for a guy and they are the next it. He definitely wants his horses to win the race.
