That's hilarious!  Well, if Jay is indeed 290, then Ronnie must be 400lbs cause he still dwarfs Cutler. Shoot, I have another pic to illustrate my point but I don't know how to post it.  |

Strong First Im-Press-ion
Written by: Team FLEX
With Ronnie, Gunter and Jay all shirtless and posing down against one another on the Mandalay Bay Events Center stage, Thursday afternoon's Olympia press conference turned into a spectacle the likes of which have never been seen in bodybuilding's history.
Hosted by Joe Amato, Bob Cicherillo and WWE Heavyweight Champion Triple H, the event, dubbed the "Olympia Pregame Show," started out like any ordinary press conference. All 64 Olympia competitors (figure, fitness, men's and women's bodybuilding) sat at three long tables set at the foot of the Olympia stage. But once the athletes had settled into their seats the event became anything but ordinary.
Gunter Schlierkamp go the action going early on by informing the assembled press and fans that he had beaten Ronnie before and that, come Saturday, he would do it again. Obviously, Big Ron didn't take kindly to such talk and pointedly asked Gunter what he had done against him lately (Gunter's win over Ron came in 2002). Soon Jay Cutler joined in the verbal fracas, letting everyone present know that he came to win and that at 290 pounds there's not a lot anyone can do about it.
Then, after a few more jabs thrown by various competitors, Ronnie decided he had had enough of the talking and let everyone know that he's ready to claim the title today. With that he ascended the steps to the stage and began peeling off his official Olympia track suit top and shirt. Soon Gunter joined the big man onstage, then Jay and then Gustavo Badell. Once Iris Kyle hit the stage it was an out of control free-for-all with shirts flying and shots being challenged left, right and center.
Finally, after the trio of hosts managed to restore some sense of order to the proceedings, the Chickster and HHH got into it over a flippant comment that wrestling, unlike bodybuilding, is not a "real sport." Joe Amato, citing an online spat between himself and Cicherillo earlier this year, sided with HHH, making is a two-on-one affair. Suddenly King Kamali burst from the audience to defend his goomba and mix things up with the WWE champ.
Fortunately the spirit of the brotherhood of iron prevailed in the end and athletes, press and fans alike were sent off with an experience they won't soon forget, and the promise of a show to remember.

Don't know what Gunter and Jay were thinking. I would not want to be compared to Ronnie until show time, if even then, LOL!
Looks like they handed the title to Ronnie already.
