NEW S He should at least have been compared to several of the other competitors. In 1994 he was the winner of a major pro show (the Niagara Falls Pro International), and his condition at the Olympia was just as good. Why he was overlooked is a question that I can't answer. Perhaps the judges can. I do think that his position onstage in the lineup hurt him. Wearing number 23, he was the last guy out, and was left standing in the shadows at the rear of the stage in the lineup. With 23 of the world's best pro athletes to judge it is very easy to ignore someone stancting in shadows at the back of the stage. Henderson is a heck of a nice guy, and I felt his frustration following the prejudging when Bob Kennedy, Johnny Fitnes.~ and I were walking through the parking lot and ran into a very disappointed and frustrated Thome. Henderson just threw up his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and exclaimed, "Man, I just don't know what I have to do!" We all agreed and offered him moral support; however, Henderson had a good point. What does he have to do? This year's Olympia was not the best that I have witnessed. Dorian Yates won more or less by default. He certainly was not in his best condition and no one really chal lenged him. Granted, Shawn Ray and Kevin Levrone were in terrific shape, but they still lack Yates's colossal mass and thick proportions. Only transplanted Canadian Paul Dillett has the same kind of Canada's presence at the Olympia was potential for huge mass as Yates possesses. impressive, yet failed to have its deserved impact. I will miss the traditional New York Ms. Olympia, which was the final pro show of the season. I really feel that combining the Ms. Olympia with the Mr. Olympia takes something away from this exciting women's competition. Perhaps the Masters and Ms. could be run successfully as a separate show. How about it, Wayne?
