    Yeah I remember seeing this on TV and I recorded it ,and for you young kids it was on something call VHS
    I have no idea where the tape is and even if I did don't have a vhs player , and this is a much better copy.

    this was the classic BB battle that matched the mass of sonbaty and more classic physique of wheeler
    Arnold does the commentary . I love the comment he makes about arron baker "I could win with that physique" what a mind f*ck
    Ron Coleman was Mr o , yet, 4 previous AC winners, Sonbaty ( second in 97 mr o and there are people that say he should have won)
    and throw in muscle mass monster Dilllett, Priest ( if he was 4 inches taller would win ) and I always like Harrison.
    Don Long went into kidney failure after but had incredible physique. Someone you knew was destined for greatness

    you are right this is probably a best of the late 90's line up, I can't believe this was 20 years ago

    well they posted the 1998


    I remember this being on UPN, a network that is remembered for Star Trek Voyager...and that is about it(.. did it last more than a year?)
    great line up ,rock, concert lighting, and a lots of switching cameras , angles and basically ruins the whole thing if you are a bodybuilding fan, if you are regular person it might be more interesting. IMHO you want to see a front lat from the front, not from side, then angled up and then panning over the bodybuilder to show the audience .This is not a football game during the huddle. The only worse coverage for a bodybuilding contest is the 2001 Mr O, where they kept panning the audience and front lat from the side ..

    I remember those days and the 80s reading Muscle and Firness and trying everutging they talked aboutvto get bjgger. Never worked like I hoped for, but I eventuality got big and ripped, and now 17 surgeries for wearing out tendins and two hernias, lateri wish I jad never go e above 200 lbs. Would have been much better off and not fighting to just stay in the gym. I make zero testosterone among other little things.

    Good videos, brings back the memories and reminds me we are all human and all destined for the dirt nap.
