Will there ever be a movie made about this historic show? Who would play Mentzer? Can Mike O’Hearn be in the film?

Danny DeVito can play Mentzer.

I waited all month for each episode of "American Muscle" on ESPN.

Yes, I remember that as well. American Muscle Magazine.

Fuck, I miss those days. Seems like social media has really devalued so much. I miss reading those magazines, watching sports on regular TV,  watching Larry Holmes defend his title on wide world of sports, for example , or reading an article about the 1985 Night of Champions contest. Professional coverage of most things, whether its sports, politics, entertainment etc has been replaced with social media hacks. Every asshole with a phone is an influencer and what they put out is utter trash, yet it pushed out printed publications and professional photographers and journalists along with it.

Arnold and Zane look like bookworm nerds. Arnold looks like he has down’s syndrome with his pants pulled up super high. Is that Dennis T. in the back right? His abs look great. Zane looks like crap and Boyer Coe does as well.

Mentzer appears to have a big fat belly as one of the other competitors observed. Is that Roger Walker up front? His belly looks very pudgy.

Thats a bad shot, bad angle. During his posing he was fuller and just as cut as those guys. Had some of the best arms and legs in the show. His lack of abs and sloped shoulders aren't a good look for him in this pic.

Whatever.  He placed ahead of Mike, as he should've.

If Boyer just had better ab genetics he would have had a much more successful career.

Gold dude.  Solid gold.  Reminds me of the time I had an issue with Subway.  When I got back to work I called to complain and threatened to suck the managers cock.  He was pleading with me on the phone and apologizing.  I finished with "I'm on my way back and I'm sucking that cock!"

Since John Hansen wont post it himself he it is  ;D

[/youtube]

Just when I thought we finally will get some closure on the 1980 Olympia controversy, Arnold just made things worse ....


Theres a Dominican saying (hard to translate but is exactly what Arnold just did there) He shot at us with a toy gun "

1- He wants us to believe that the eternal whining wouldn't have happened had he donated the $20,000 winning prize equally throughout the top 6. FACK that!

2- He proudly kept talking how he got the winning prize from $1.000 to over a million in prizes, that Andrew Jacked won both Arnold and collected a million dollar in a month, for him to be worrying about the 1980 Olympia (that wasn't the point)

3- He knew the CBS hidden footage question was next, so Arnold being the Barracuda that he is decided to wrap things up and give some kudos to Johns Bodybuilding books (Barracuda Mode) Damn Joh was a happy kid there .... I'm happy for him.

4- Why the 1980 Olympia was omitted from his recent Netflix biography documentary? we will never know  ...John was stopped before he could get near those grounds .



WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  10.4.80

I think he covered it fine.  He's not suprised people complained bit he has the title and that's it, there's no point complaining and that's how he lives life, doesn't focus on negativity. Also said what everyone else says about mentzer, he was 5th so no way he should have won.
