1996
The scores on the night: Dorian 1st Shawn 2nd Nasser 3rd Kevin 4th Flex 5th Paul 6th Ronnie Coleman was ranked 7th so did not appear in this line If Ronnie had out pointed Paul that night we would have seen him on stage next to Dorian and the top four contenders They had come 2nd to Dorian at one point Shawn 94 and 96 Kevin 92 and 95 Flex 93 Nasser then would in 97 As it turned out, Nasser was disqualified a month later so everyone moved up and Ronnie became 6th So we never got to see Ronnie pose in the Top Six as a contender - we first saw him up there in 98 the night he won
Kevin had been 2nd to Dorian twice, in 92 and last year 95 To see him leave here with 4th so Shawn and Nasser overtake him is hard
Nasser was 3rd here and last year 95
In 95 Kevin was 2nd and Shawn was 4th
In 94 Shawn was 2nd and Kevin was 3rd
Nasser was 7th in his debut - just missed making the line up
In 93 Flex was 2nd - his debut
Shawn was 3rd
Lee Labrada, left over from the Haney era was 4th
Kevin was 5th
Dillett was 6th
In 92, Dorian's first win
Kevin debuted and placed 2nd
Lee Labrada 3rd
Shawn 4th
Ronnie made his debut and did not place
..........................
1997 the following year was Dorian's 6th and last win Nasser came 2nd Shawn dropped to 3rd Paul, visibly annoyed here at only getting 6th, placed 4th Lee Priest got 5th, appearing on stage in the line up This dropped Kevin to 6th Ronnie dropped down to 9th Flex did not appear due to injury - he would come back in 98 and place second, with Ronnie winning his first . In 98 Ronnie has his first of his 8 wins 2nd Flex 3rd Nasser 4th Kevin 5th Shawn so all the top four contenders are present, just in a different order, with a new Champion having over taken them all 6th was Chris Cormier 7th was Lee Priest - so we didn't get to see him in the line again this year Paul was in the pre judging but didn't place
Both Kevin and Flex made 2nd place on their debut - 92 and 93 respectively Dorian came 2nd in his debut in 91 Ronnie never made it to the final 6 for his shows 92 to 97 years - then won in 98
............................
98 Ronnie first win

Shawn Ray After a not too good start in 88, Shawn placed high and was on stage for the final 6 in all his following shows 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th at the shows - was never the first man taken out with 6th Many thought he should have won in 94 - the first of 2 years he would place 2nd to Dorian Did not compete in 89 1988 Mr. Olympia – 13th Place 1990 Mr. Olympia – 3rd Place 1991 Mr. Olympia – 5th Place 1992 Mr. Olympia – 4th Place 1993 Mr. Olympia – 3rd Place 1994 Mr. Olympia – 2nd Place 1995 Mr. Olympia – 4th Place 1996 Mr. Olympia – 2nd Place 1997 Mr. Olympia – 3rd Place 1998 Mr. Olympia – 5th Place 1999 Mr. Olympia – 5th Place 2000 Mr. Olympia – 4th Place 2001 Mr. Olympia – 4th Place
