Agree, Randy. Met Mike at 2004 Jr USA and again at a Dave Draper seminar. He is a cool guy and a very proud grandpa as well. Like him a lot also.

LOL.... I dont think that anyone at the show had the appreciation that we had to meet Katz... They all must see him on a regular basis. we wanted so badly to ask him if he ever found his blue T shirt.

He looks very trim. A few years back he was looking like he was packing on the pounds. I saw him in the lobby of the nights of the champions in NYC. This was about 1978 or so. He was huge. His chest was scary big in his botton down shirt. He wasn't competing but he looked in top shape. I think he hurt his knee the year before the Jets went to the super bowl. Imagine being Mr. America with a super bowl ring. He's is one of my all time favorite bodybuilders.

Cool thread!!
Big Mike is a great guy.......I`ll be seeing him again this May when he MC`s the New Englands inj Boston.
Mike was also the MC at the Southern States in Ft. Lauderdale one year that I was entered,and I told Mike that I was in Pumping Iron with him.
When he announced my name to pose he told the audience I was in PI.....the audience must have expected some big huge dude to stroll out onstage............instead they got lil` old me!!! LOL

Well, there's only one female in the photo, and if it's your fiance, I've just decided to make you a deal..... I'll trade in my mod status for your fiance. Deal? She's beautiful, lucky man you are.
