jay. politics influences judging.

**Kaboom** · 06-11-2008, 01:13 PM

Probably^^

Tripower · 06-11-2008, 10:09 PM

I am hoping it's gonna be wolf...his v taper is rediculous....although I know its gonna be jay. Which sucks.

dieseld · 06-11-2008, 11:32 PM

jay, vic, wolf..i think wolf is an absolute god in bbing to be only 29 years old-best delts ive seen since kevin

Luscious Lou · 06-11-2008, 11:42 PM

anybody see a pic of dennis lately? all he had to do was bring up his lower lats and calves a tad bit more and this guy coulda taken the big cheese.... and of course take down the muscletech empire

rdobson · 06-12-2008, 09:09 AM

jay will win as long as he wants just liek ronnie,haney,dorian, and arnold did.....jay said it in 05 after losing..."if your the champ you will win"...its sad and messed up but thats how its always been, how many champions have gotten beaten.....not many

I hate the Ruhl retired...he shoudl have won a few times, but liek everyones said its all politics and sponsors

**Kaboom** · 06-12-2008, 09:44 AM

Its sad but its that way even at the lower levels of competition.Guess I should be a nicer person and get some judges to like me.BEFORE the contest lol.
Thats ok next time I step on stage its gonna be obvious who the winner is lol

Tripower · 06-15-2008, 08:12 PM

Mmmmm. Polotics in sport is ****. But unfortunately, it seems inevitable.

harmankardon1 · 06-17-2008, 08:06 AM

martinez, cutler, wolf i hope jay goes down im sick of that huge waist and blocky body but with guys comin through like wolf it makes the future look a bit better

harmankardon1 · 06-17-2008, 08:10 AM

i wager that if jay wins this year it will be his last olympia victory the guys comin through wolf martinez are more gifted than him they look better

**Freak** · 06-17-2008, 10:13 AM

Can you really bet on it at bodog or betus or something? I've never seen it before. I doubt Vegas even has lines for it. Would be interesting.

I think Jay will win. Should he? idk probably not.

**Kaboom** · 06-17-2008, 10:22 AM

Ronnie Coleman said this when asked"it will be a a wolf cutler war but Jat will win until he retires he has it down to a science."

Might not be exact words but close to it.

it's not a matter of looking better, Jay is still marketable, he brings in a huge profit for Mr. weider and all his other sponsors, and whilst he is still raking in the cash for them he will continue to win the O.

however as a bodybuilder i rate Jay quite highly, coming 2nd all those years to ronnie and still stepping on stage year after year takes alot of courage.

harmankardon1 · 06-18-2008, 05:28 AM

i aggree with your comments musclemanic jay is more marketable and that will do alot to keep him as mr o, and while it might sound like i think little of jay i also think he is a great bb certainly one of the best at the moment. Although, there comes a point in the o where marketablity isnt enough, the merits of physique are ultimatley what the o is judged on. I think that point for jay will come sooner rather than later.

**mitbar** · 06-22-2008, 03:14 PM

I would like to see Dennis Wolf win, he has a great frame and actually has a waist. but with the politic bull**** in bodybuilding jay will win again and maybe for a while longer, he does bust his ass but i like to see and actual waist on a guy with a good V taper.

F-111 · 06-22-2008, 08:58 PM

my money is on jay for the above mentioned reasons. also, there is a black cloud over vic (not only becuz of his knee) but also his past seems to be brought up quite a bit. i think that might ruin his chances to be a positive role model for the sport.

i wish wolf would win but he doesnt have the marketing appeal like jay.

i must say though, as much of a nice guy that jay is (met him a few months back), his physique is WAY too blocky for my liking.

EXCEPT for in my avatar lol...crazy striations!

**Zack** · 07-03-2008, 11:00 PM

what's this about martinez's past?

andy rimmer · 07-06-2008, 03:09 PM

id like 2 no about vic's past aswell..

andy rimmer · 07-06-2008, 03:11 PM

o yea and my money's on jay for all the above but also i reeli dnt think they'll have the younger guys lik dennis or phil win simply because they've nt reeli been in the game for to long an they might not be able to handle the constant keeping in magazine shape near enough all year round

andy rimmer · 07-06-2008, 03:11 PM

dexter will crack the top 3 i recon

tony216 · 07-09-2008, 02:06 AM

jay
wolfe
dexter

although i would like to see wolfe win

F-111 · 07-10-2008, 05:17 AM

vic was arrested for assault or something years ago. it has been brought up a few times as holding him back. i saw an interview with charles glass saying that the ifbb dont want a violent role model for the sport because it has a bad enough rap with the roid debate.

so there u go...

therock030488 · 07-13-2008, 12:30 AM

My money is on Jay simply because of politics, but I also think he'll retire after this year. I'm rooting for Wolf tho, he's physique is pretty amazing, could use better biceps and lower back thickness tho.

tony216 · 07-17-2008, 03:48 PM

I feel his biceps are massive, i think genetically they just dont peak much. But there are ways around that

Malgate · 07-17-2008, 08:41 PM

i think Cutler will win it until he decides he's had enough simply becuase he is the champ and the others have to beat him not equal him. i think that is crap and shouldnt be the way

I'd like to see dennis wolfe and dexter up in the mix and maybe lee priest can get himself up in the places if he makes it in
