I remember Franco breaking his leg on one episode, carrying a fridge on his back!

Franco broke leg in World's Strongest Man competition...not this bullshit. He was actually pushing for the lead, despite giving up 100lbs. to the leaders. Hurt the knee when the bumper of the car grazed the top of it. I will try to find the post injury interview...truly a badass...."it is just a sprain..."

Howard Cossell is still the best.

they rest were some skinny, weak pathetic coke snortin' individuals...

STFU you moron. Everyone is enjoying the clip and a lot of us enjoyed the TV programs those people were on.

And Richard Hatch could have kicked your ass back then.

Of all of them, Lou is still looking the best. The rest of them just make me depressed about the aging process.

Agree strongly with this. Even the Governator himself Arnold does not look anywhere near what he used to be. Lou could still compete if he wanted to. This may be blasphemy but I think Lou is even more muscular now than Flex Wheeler and Kevin Levrone based on some recent (As of last year) pics I've seen of them.

I think Sergio Oliva also looks pretty good for his age. Does anyone have recent pics of Sergio? Same with Casey Viator and Boyer Coe.

Sergio is really showing his age now.
What you hit upon with Lou in relation to condition really strikes to the heart of what Arnold was about. To Arnold, bodybuilding was as much a medium for advancement as it was a passion. Lou was/is the consumate bodybuilder, he will always be doing this, with drugs, without, doesn't matter.

Billy Crystal is the size of Lou's leg

Knocking some dust off this thread to reveal more of Big Lou from back in the day...


L-R: Lou Ferrigno, Bill Bixby stunt double Frank Orsatti, and Hulk double Manny Perry

Perry was an AAU competitor and is now a Hollywood stunt man. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0675189/

The only thing better than watching FERRIGNO single-handedly win the Tug-of-War is listening to HOWARD COSSELL call the play by play as if it were the SUPER BOWL!

Well, that sucks.

Thanks Retwa....how many stars today would do that? I would think they would all be too "Cool" for that now.
