    Default 2017 Mr. Olympia on CBS

    Will it actually happen? Or will it go the way of the NBC debacle of 2014. Will it be live or taped? I'm thinking with the Rock behind it something might actually happen but I doubt it will be live.

    I think it will be live, but not on actual CBS. Rock said CBS Sports which is an extra channel a lot of ppl don't have. More ppl probably have the app on a Firestick or tablet.

    Regardless of which CBS affiliate this is in, it's a major positive for the sport. The NBC SN mess seemed like the last shot bodybuilding had to get out of the shadows. So having The Rock involved and being the apparent lynchpin behind this 'marriage' with CBS is a very good development.

    If The Rock is involved, I suspect the broadcast will be top notch. He's a modern day Arnold in his Hollywood star appeal so I'm pretty certain that he can "get things done".

    It will be good to have the show on CBS as they know how to produce good content unlike the chancers that live streamed this years Olympia. I reckon they were set up to film a rock concert.

    As to it being a great opportunity for bodybuilding.....who cares. This pipe dream of bodybuilding being in the Olympics and it gaining credibility is the same shit I heard 30 years ago from Ben Weider. Bodybuilding as a competitive activity is a beauty contest supped up on absolutely huge quantities of drugs. That is the elephant in the room when Arnold talks about promoting health and fitness. The reality is top level BB is about cosmetics not sport.
