Ronnie Calls it Quits

[rauljimenez]

This is a SAD day for me but I think he made a great decision for the long term health and run.


This just in from the Ronnie Coleman camp!

Amidst a whirlwind of speculation, Internet message board gossip, hearsay, conjecture and bodybuilding industry rumors for the last year, 8-Time Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman and arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time has just shocked the world by announcing that he will be officially retiring from Olympia competition after this upcoming Mr. Olympia contest on September 29th.

God be with him. He has had a great career and probably deserves to sit back,chill and reap the rewards and money he has accumulated over the years.

 

[PHIL HERNON]

SHOCKED THE WORLD?

HAHAHAHAAHHH HE TOLD EVERYONE THAT KNOWS HIM THAT HE IS RETIRING THIS YEAR. SHOCKED THE WORLD..............THAT IS PRECIOUS.

 

[rauljimenez]

Gonna be a fun olympia for sure

 

[PinJammer]

What IF he won again? Does anyone think he'll come back to defend it?

 

[goonstopher]

Every generation has a guy who takes it to the next level. for the 90's and 2000's that was Ronnie. Who can possibly one up him? It will be crazy to see the next level after someone like Ronnie.

 

[thedonker]

SHAME.

 

[HUTCH]

No suprise here....I thought he was going to retire last year if he won anyways...

 

[Shooter]

can't understand how anyone would be surprised by this...what more is there for the guy to do?

 

[MightyJohn]

Well....

This does leave him open to make a comeback a few yrs from now say like Arnold did yrs back...

But Arnold was around 33 or 34 with his comeback.

 

[littleguy]

I can imagine a hard decision to make. But probably the best thing for him

 

[terryd5150]

Doesn't matter when he retires....

We should all take our hats off to him for being such a hard-working, outstanding competitor.



Anywhere "The Greats" of the sport are mentioned, his name will be among them.

"he will be officially retiring from Olympia competition after this upcoming Mr. Olympia contest on September 29th."

My personal favorite BB! No one will blow up BB like he did for a very long time IMO. You may not all like his physique but no one can say he doesn't blow your mind everytime you see him in shape.

 

[LEX]

so after he retires is he gonna go back to being a cop?

 

[Steak Helmet]

RONNIE COLEMAN in CONAN THE NEXT GENERATION. PEANUT!!! I pray to you. YEAH BUDDY is his side kick.
