all hail KING CUTLER BABAY!!!good for david henry too man what a statement for a smaller guy!i also believe dennis the wolf should have been higher in the stamdings he looked great! the best he has in competition.and the end of an era with big nasty ronnie coleman going into retirement.he will be issed on stage!!!but over all it was a great show.
Cutler deserves the win. He’s in the best shape of his life aesthetically and massively. I kinda feel bad for Ronnie though. He didn’t get to break Lee Haney’s record and he probably never will.
Coleman announced beforehand that he’s retiring, so that’s it for him. I saw on MuscleMayhem [I was looking for the results] that they thought that Vic was the clear winner, but who knows what that really even means. Without lots of pics, it’s hard to even trust the ‘experts’ from sites like that.
I have friends who compete, but bodybuilding reminds me of college football, if it was determined entirely by polls and they never actually played any games.
Jay Cutler would never get the “win” from me, just for the fact that he sports an insane comb-over.

Excuse me, shorter. But yes it was nice to see him get some love at a big show for showing up in incredible shape as usual. He admitted in the press conference he wasn’t ready to make a run at the top at this point in his career but give him time and with some more improvements he will be a great contender. I don’t think people realize or remember Dave turned pro just 4(I think?) years ago as a middle weight at 167. He competes now at 205-210 and growing.
Everytime I hear Milos talk about bodybuilding I agree with him more and more.

Dennis James was looking very pale this year, I think he needs to work on his tan
Ha didn’t even catch that when I saw the list.
Had Wolf been a little more crisp from the back he would have taken it. I saw the whole show via webcast and this guy is unbelievable. He even dwarfed Ronnie when they did a most muscular and when he stood next to Jay it was Jay who walked away…
Personally I had it:
1:Victor (massive yet with stunning lines but might need a bit more density a bit more muscle maturity)
2:Cutler (massive but holding a bit too much water on Friday and simply does not ‘flow’ like Victor, he seems a collection of really massive bodyparts and I personally do not like his stage presence but of course that should not count)
3:Wolf (unreal taper, no distented waist whatsoever, incredibly massive, ripped from the front but not so crisp from the back)
My future pick for the Mr. Olympia if he learns to dial it in.
4:Dexter
5:Ronnie (fantastic farewell speach, what a gentleman, a class act!)

I don’t know if you were watching the same competition as me but Jay Cutler did not deserve this win. Don’t get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy and everything but he just doesn’t have the structure, all he has is size.
He wasn’t in the best condition, he wasn’t the most aesthetic, and he wasn’t the best mix of the two. The competition is becoming a joke and I don’t think I’m the only one that thinks so.
Jay Cutler ran away from Dennis Wolf throughout the entire posedown.
I’ll post some pictures so you guys can see for yourself.
