Arnold: Bodybuldings First "Bad Boy."
- Thread starter Nelson Montana
- Start date
Arnold went under a few delicate heart surgeries already.
I bet on this: he's a multi millionaire, a celebrity & now a statesman...
I bet if good medical care exists, HE's going to get it no doubt.
Mentzer & Duchaine were poor bums.
And yea the heavy duty cassettes did sell out ok for a while but Mentzer would tour Italy sponsored by a clown supplement manufacturer in his late years and once everybody pointed out ad nauseam Dan Duchaine's "few inaccuracies" in his steroid books, well the show was over.
Mind you, i did get Dan's stuff but there's just no comparison.

Dude, Dan Duchaine died of polycystic kidney disease, which he was BORN with. I highly doubt AAS had anything to do with his untimely demise.

Arnold is one of those rare people in history that can completely determine his own fate by sheer force of will. Here in Cali he is know as the miracle maker. He came into office facing a Democratic Senate and Assembly that so wanted to see him fail (and still does) so that they can crush any Republican rule once and for all. With the State in a huge debt and forces working against him he couldn't have come in at a worse time. It hasn't always been about good timing. He made his own good timing. With a combination of charm and ruthlessness he has even his most bitter enemies forced to take his side. The rules are simple: Stick with him and you will be rewarded. Go against him and you will be punished. He has been accumulating power his whole life and can make or break a career (and lives). He has proven time and time again, mostly against the odds, that there is really nothing he can't do.
There will always be some set backs. But in the end, when the dust settles, Arnold, one way or another, will always come out on top. Always.

Great Post.
At one point during his gubernatorial campaign, when things were really gearing up for the great battle, he looked into the camera and talk about how on such and such date when he is sitting in the governor's chair, it reminded me about a part in Pumping Iron, and correct me if I'm wrong since it's been over 15 years since I saw it, when he said that before a contest, in his mind he had already won. It's already happened. Like he had some sort of vision and now, and this is what stuck with me, and now, it was just a matter of going through the motions. I recall something to the effect where he called his mother and said that he had won. He did this before the show even took place!
After he made that claim on camera, that his winning was already a done deal, he pretty much stopped campaigning and began acting like the governor-elect. Setting up a cabinet, talking policy, etc.... His opponents derided him for his arrogance and ego. But I thought back to that episode in Pumping Iron and wondered: Did he have that vision? Has it already been preordained? Is it now a matter of just "going through the motions?"
He didn't talk like that all during the campaign. Just at some point. Sometime after his debate on TV. I then recalled how when Arnold first got in the race one of the leaders of the California Democratic party said that Arnold was just an actor, just a muscle man, that politics is a whole different game. That this time he's in over his head. He doesn't know what he's in for. He doesn't know what he's getting into.
I then thought back when I first saw Arnold as a little boy on the cover of some muscle mag. How I stood there with my mouth open, bent over slightly, both hands resting on my knees peering through the window of the magazine store just staring at Arnold in disbelief. How incredible and unworldly he seemed. I still accepted him as human but he was also beyond that. He was at a different and much higher level of being a human being than the rest of us. I just studied him on that cover. I must have been about 8-9 years old. This was the cover:

I then reflected on the words that that over weight political hack said about Arnold. "Arnold doesn't know what he's getting into." I chuckled and thought, "I don't think so Mr. Fat Girly Man, you don't know what you are getting into with a man like Arnold."
