my olympia take

[powerforward]

i watched the ppv, and as hard as it is to really see the conditioning of these guys on tv, here is my take on some things...

1)the coverage was horrible, last year's ppv was light years ahead of this one. announcers were turned off for the first 30 min's, camera was all over the place, the on-screen stat and info was halfway off the screen. commentary was terrible. Overall looked like a cable access show.Very disapointing.

2)The field was weak. Levrone, priest,groux, all were worse than last year.

3)Lee Priest with a mullet looks like the he-man action figure. (btw, his legs were gone, and not as sharp as normal)

4)Ronnie looked awesome. Huge, sharp, gut still is out a little bit, and he really doesn't have great ab development, but he has the best back,arms,shoulders of all time. The most muscular person ever. Someone said he weighed 286 for the show and i believe it.

5)cutler looks huge, but soft. Lack of vascularity just hurts him.

6)Dexter looked incredible. Like flex from 3 years ago.

7) Arnold making fun of Franco was hilarious.

8)Gunter looked sharp, but just doesn't have a great v-taper or great shape. Thought his placing was right on.

9) Overall a weak show, with a couple of guys that stood out.
I'm worried about the crappy presentation, it could really hurt the olympia being shown next year.

Shitty coverage would have been better than what I saw. About twenty of us gathered at a friends house, we had all pitched in for the PPV and food and stuff. 9 o'clock came and it didn't come on, we called the cable company and all she had to say was, "I guess you can come get your refund on Monday." We were pissed. Nothing like a house full of raging bodybuilders suffering a let down like that.

that would suck. i was frustrated because i taped the show and got nothing but audio.
