Haney competed in 91 to win his 8th putting him one ahead of Arnold's 7
There would have been no point in him competing in 92 to try for a 9th
Dorian came second in 91 Dorian has stated that if Haney had turned up in 92, then he, Dorian would still have won and been Mr O that year
Dorian would have dethroned Haney the same way as Jay dethroned Ronnie after Ronnie got his 8th, no 9th for Ronnie, and there would have been no 9th for Haney
Did Haney stay away because he knew Dorian would beat him? Or did he always know he would retire undefeated once he had his 8th?
Haney had his long run, then Dorian, then Ronnie Shawn, Flex and Kevin were all runner up, usually made up the top four, and any of them could have won on their year
Ronnie was way down the list so when Dorian didn't come out for his seventh, any of these three should or could have won that year
So it was decided somewhere that Ronnie would be put into first place and stay there
Some people also talk about Nasser of course
But Shawn, Flex and Kevin should each have has a Sandow and held the title, same way Samir and Dickerson did
1992 Dorian Kevin 2nd Shawn 4th Ronnie 16th his Olympia debut
1993 Dorian Flex 2nd Shawn 3rd Kevin 5th Ronnie no sign
1994 Dorian Shawn 2nd Kevin 3rd No Flex Ronnie 15th
1995 Dorian Kevin 2nd Nasser 3rd Shawn 4th Flex 8th Ronnie 11th
1996 Dorian Shawn 2nd Kevin 3rd Flex 4th Ronnie 5th Nasser scored 3rd disqualified
1997 Dorian last Olympia Nasser 2nd Shawn 3rd Kevin 4th Ronnie 9th
1998 Ronnie first win Flex 2nd Nasser 3rd Kevin 4th Shawn 5th
We have Flex, Nasser, Kevin and Shawn occupying the runner up top five slots right through there
In 98 anyone of them could have been number one, with the other three lining up behind them
Somehow Ronnie comes from lower down the pile to win the show, with the four of them lining up after him
With Dorian we saw him come 2nd to Haney in 91 then inherit the title in 92
Jay came up the ranks and held second for consecutive years until he won
So how did Ronnie jump over the four top guys and then stay there ?
