Bodybuilding Gossip's "Who is it?"

[Arnold]

Photobucket has been known to delete "headless" images from my account.

No clues to start!

 

[Curt James]

^Top IFBB pro in the 1990s.

 

[Kathybird]

ummm... still got nuthin'.

 

[Kathybird]

It's not David Hawk is it?

 

[Curt James]

ummm... still got nuthin'.

lol

It's not David Hawk is it?

Newp.

Another hint: He won just about EVERYTHING in 1990 and placed as high as 5th at the O and 2nd at the Arnold.

 

[Gregzs]

Mohamed Benaziza.

 

[Curt James]

Correct!

Those bastards at Photobucket deleted the pic. Son of a...

I even had it labeled appropriately. Or so I thought.

No hint to start.

 

[Kathybird]

Tevita Aholelei?

 

[Kathybird]

I'd say Ronnie but i think that'd be too obvious.

 

[Curt James]

I'd say Ronnie but i think that'd be too obvious.

Not Ronnie either.

Hints: An IFBB Pro. And one whose life recently has had more than its share of drama, heartache, and controversy.

Hints:

• An IFBB Pro. And one whose life recently has had more than its share of drama, heartache, and controversy.
• His sister was named Eridania.

 

[Gregzs]

Oh. Victor Martinez.

 

[Curt James]

^Yes! I'll post the pic of Victor and another image when I get home.

Drama, heartache, and controversy surrounded Victor in the past few years.

His controversial loss to Jay Cutler, his knee injury, drug charges associated with BALCO (or do I have that one wrong?), and - sadly - the murder of his sister.

Vic's luck may have changed for the better with the success of his Muscle Maker Grill franchise!

Now that looks like Kai Greene.

 

[Curt James]

Correct again!

And I won't bother naming the controversy associated with Kai. You've more than likely already heard it all by now.

Looking forward to this year's Olympia to see if Kai can take the Sandow.

 

[Curt James]

Guess now! Photobucket has been deleting "headless" images.

Years ago (2002) I went to Las Vegas on vacation. I had my Gold's travel pass so I went to work out as usual. While there I snagged some copies of Gear Uzr magazine. I still have them.

That pic with Ronnie Coleman is of Trevor Smith.

 

[Curt James]

Wow. You are good.

Correct!

Rest in Peace Trevor Smith.

[Curt James]

All correct with the exception of the Arnold flick!

You're an animal! lol

Ouch. I could have looked up the movie but felt that would have been cheating. I even saw that one in the theaters back in the day.

Oh, next time "cheat". The game is for fun and "posting first" is part of it, imo. Consider this an open book exam. And with your knowledge of the sport you should be posting the pics!

Red Heat, right?

Raw Deal was good stuff, too.
