Is Kai Greene the uncrowned Mr. O 2014?

[a11]

What do you guys think?

[Wheels]

No, even with Phil coming in off at Prejudging and, arguably, still not at his best at the finals, Kai still couldn't seal the deal.

He will never be Mr.O; "uncrowned," whatever that means, or otherwise.

I think Shawn Ray is a good example of an "uncrowned" Mr. O. Kevin Levrone as well due to how close he came when at his peak.


...and truth be known, if this were 2004, no one would be acting like Kai was off or couldn't seal the deal.

Good points

Conditioning has become the paradigm with which all placings are ultimately judged; Ramy and Branch's placings good example of this.

[HTW]

No, lucky he placed 2nd.

[Poker face Ace]

Kai was off.

Mr. Olympia is so champion-friendly that you have to be 15% better than the reigning champ.

As much as I would have liked to see Phil getting knocked off the throne, Kai really didn't beat him.

Now, one thing you COULD argue is that OUTSIDE of the Olympia contest Kai is a much, much more impressive bodybuilder than Phil. Sure it doesn't pay the bills and sure Phil only goes for the O that one time a year - but is that really all that bodybuilding is? Who can look great on stage? Is being the greatest bodybuilder in the world just about hitting the form one single day of the year? I'm not so sure. It's food for tho...

It's what most modern Mr. O's have done. He's building a brand for the post-competitive years and he's a good ambassador.

He is a good ambassador? Compared to who? lol He looks like 70% of his Mr. O self almost all year, at all guess posing appearances and what has he really done for the sport? A good ambassador would be someone like Jay or even Ronnie was night and day better than Phil.

[Poker face Ace]

Phil's gut didn't help either so it was a close one between both Phil and Kai. Guess it's Back to the drawing board.

Oh he's Uncrowned alright, the Uncrowned 4th Place winner.

[Mac]

Oh he's Uncrowned alright, the Uncrowned 4th Place winner.

That's why he came in 2nd, again.

[Nic Brunicardi]

Did he reject an interview with you or something, or why the harsh words?

[BigZero]

There is only one "uncrowned" Mr. Olympia. Victor Martinez, 2007.
