Listened to Ed Connors on Rxmuscle interview , highly recommend it . Mike Matarazzo was mentioned. For all you fans of bodybuilding, you know Mike beat Flex Wheeler in the USa's and got his IFBB professional card first

I may have to re-watch, I was texting a lot of the time .

Mike competed in 1992 Olympia, and never really placed that well. I thought he looked complete. Something I found out on the Ed Connors interview ,he was divorced five times, and the last divorced took a lot of most of his money. He was making 350 k a year or something like that Ed Connors said so he made a living from bodybuilding for at least a decade.

Anyways I really like the guy and thought he could have placed higher. Mike actually reminds me of a friend I grew up with named Mike back in Baltimore , where I'm from. Italian like him too, only has the Baltimore accent.

Guy had a great physique.

Weird how he was missing his lower lat and lower abdominal on the same side though. And that calf..... Freaky
