**Prince** · 04-10-2005, 12:43 PM

yeah, that was from his 1993 comeback, he was huge.

**Witmaster** · 04-10-2005, 12:53 PM

I think I mentioned this once before in the past....

I met Lou about 4 years ago. He was doing a promotion for the release of the new "Hulk" movie. I'm telling you the man still looks great. Doesn't seem to have aged hardly at all.

Well I am gonna rain on this 'loving Lou parade'.
I used to like him until I met him, I've met him on two occasions now... the last time on my way to the AC last month... he literally ran into me, he just about knocked me over pushing to get to his first class seat, no 'excuse me', no apology of any sort - nothing, I said 'hey - you might be big but you could still have some manners!' I don't care who the hell he is, he seriously nearly knocked me over... anyway, didn't do me any good he just shot me a dirty look... oh well, I can't stand rude people.
He also seemed to be a real pain in the ass passenger on the flight, he was the only one who perpetually buzzed the stewardesses, even when the 'sit down, strap up and shut the f*ck up' signs were on.

He's also one of the few 'celeb' lifters that I've witnessed refusing to let a fan take a pic with him unless they pay a for an autographed pic of his... not exactly Mr. Personality.
I used to think he was cool, now I just think he's an fricking moron 'has been' with a bad attitude.

Ahhh that was nice to vent! lol

**min0 lee** · 04-10-2005, 01:38 PM

This is not the first time I heard this about Lou, I personly never met him but I've about the no autographed signingd from a couple of friends.

You know..... She's right about one thing... At the "Hulk" promotion I saw Lou at he would only allow you to take a pic if you dropped 20 bucks on an autographed picture of himself.

Now I wasn't endorsing his personality traits in any way. I just truly admire his dedication to fitness and Body Building.

Oh, and Britchick, you shoulda just kicked his ass.

That kinda humility can change a person's attitude tremendously!

**min0 lee** · 04-10-2005, 01:55 PM

He still looks pretty good, how old is he anyway?

i met him in real life one time. It was a long time ago around halloween when he was doing autograph signings and promotions and he was in all green (as the hulk) and got an autograph from him. He was HUGE.

In 1993, a final try for the Olympia yielded 10th place, so he switched to the Masters Olympia in 1994, but was edged out by Robby Robinson for that inaugural crown. It would be Ferrigno’s last contest.

**Mudge** · 04-10-2005, 04:12 PM

I think some people suspected that his attitude, besides being mentally abused by his father and children he grew up around (due to him being deaf after an ear infection @ 3 years old), was because he was "always" an also-ran and lived in Arnold's shadow.

**Witmaster** · 04-10-2005, 04:21 PM

Yea, it must have totally sucked to have had to compete againts Arnold in his prime.

**Prince** · 04-10-2005, 05:29 PM

I think Arnold could still make a comeback and win the O gain.

**myCATpowerlifts** · 04-10-2005, 07:41 PM

I'm glad someone brought up his troubled past, and his hearing problems

No wonder he can be "mean"
I can be an asshole without all those problems, you know what I mean?

So fuck off britchick

**gococksDJS** · 04-10-2005, 07:54 PM

Hey, at least Lou took Arnold out for breakfast...
