Interesting posts about Zane, Franco, etc.. I really enjoyed the BBers of the '70 and '80s. Franco was always a beast. A lot of great work then to setup to where we are today. There were some really great BBers then and there are some great ones now. One of these years, I need to get to some shows again - Texas Shredder is local, so I don't have any real excuses.

The pro's of today are HUGH compared to many of the pro's of yesterday. To be expected, but one does wonder where the sport will go from here. Are we at the genetic limits on size and health? Phil Heath looked excellent this time. I thought Jay was probably placed too high and wonder where Branch W. would have fared if he was not injured on the way to the show. Oh well. It's another year. Let the fun begin.
