Generation Iron Page #9

persuade the masses

to start to favor him.

When you line up

the best in the world,

it's so easy to judge.

When you're right there

in person,

you see everything.

Sometimes a photographer

will take a picture

and Phil's looking great,

Jay doesn't look great,

or Kai or Branch,

you need to see it all together

and also, it's not the clearest

of quality on the internet,

not like in living color.

Being there and seeing it,

it's pretty easy.

Phil Heath and Kai Greene,

right off the bat,

seem to separate themselves

from the pack.

Those two clearly,

Number One and Number Two.

If there was any question,

we answered that

in the final call-out

when they were the only two

brought back, center stage.

I think there's a lot of support

out there for Kai Greene,

there's a lot of people who think

that he's winning this contest.

Listen to me, you beat him

every freakin' shot.

Hands down.

Hands down, okay?

And the feeling was,

he was terrible.

He was picking

your best shots too,

side triceps,

Back double biceps,

you frickin' creamed him.

Do you really think that,

George?

You have the frickin' edge,

would I lie to you?

It's Mr. Olympia,

the best of the best.

You saw it.

Yeah, exa...

Once you start, you know?

That was getting close

with the whole Kai thing and...

Kai starts good, he started getting better

until he becomes great and then,

and then you shave it down

to the top guys

and those top guys

were Phil and Kai.

The drama came in there,

'cause first you go,

"Okay, yeah, you know, Phil's walking

away with this," then you look, you go,

"Wait a minute, this is getting

closer than I think."

The more you look,

the closer it got.

I mean, I don't know

how much tighter I can get.

I wouldn't try to get fuller

if I was you.

Thank you.

I mean, really.

There's no way I could be

any tighter than I was.

I mean, I lose room

all the way up past my hip.

What else can I do?

I mean, you tell me

where I can be tighter.

I think I was tighter

than last year,

easily, easily but...

I think what I presented

was good enough for the win.

But we'll wait and see.

- Want some water, champ?

- No, I'm good.

Not always gonna hear

what you want.

So that's when you exit.

Because you don't need

to hear negativity right now.

If anything,

I like to be the guy

that smiles,

plays nicely, you know?

But I'm trying

to take your head off

just like anybody else.

Don't sleep!

Okay, now I am starting

to get irritated,

like, I can't deal

with that sh*t right now.

You know what I'm saying?

I can't think

like that right now.

That sh*t has no importance

whatsoever

to me winning this show.

We won last year

with a perfect score.

It'd be nice to try

to do it again.

It would be nice, I mean,

I don't know that's Hany's goal.

That's mine.

It's always a goal

to try to win.

To win, perfect score.

I mean, this is definitely a hard focus

right now, there's no soft focus at all.

Like, this is definitely

very serious.

When you start stressing,

your body starts changing.

And just...

and a lot of people

who've done competitions

have looked absolutely amazing,

and then, all of a sudden,

the stress hormone kicks in,

and their bodies just kinda fade away

and they don't understand what happened.

This is not where you let off

the gas, either.

I'm gonna have to get going.

Catch your breath, that's right.

- Huh?

- Catch your breath.

Come on!

That's right.

Yeah, if you want.

I know I'm the champ.

I don't have to keep saying it.

They know I'm the champ, too.

My title is Mr. Olympia.

Theirs isn't,

and they're trying to get there?

They've gotta fight me all day.

There's no way I'm gonna lose.

The champ takes a moment

to drive

through the streets of Vegas

to clear his head.

The most important battle

of his life

lies here moments away.

The battle that will define him

as a competitor forever.

As you know,

it's Olympia weekend.

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and girls,

bodybuilding fans

from around the world,

welcome to the 48th edition

of the fall classic,

the Mr. Olympia!

For those

that was here last night,

you saw one of the most exciting

pre-judgings in Olympia history.

Because once again, folks, only one person

can hold the Sandow and only one man

will be crowned Mr. Olympia.

Mr. Olympia is my dream,

my life dream.

I can't think of anything else

that will ever happen to me again in my life

that will mean as much to me,

because it was nothing

but sheer will, determination,

and stubbornness.

I knew from the time I was 18

what I wanted to do in life.

I set goals for myself.

I've accomplished every goal

I set out for myself,

except for one,

and that's win the Mr. Olympia.

I'm training for this title,

I want to win this title.

My daughter is my biggest fan,

she's always at the Olympia,

she always wants to be there

and I won my first show

where my wife and my daughter

were together there watching us,

and that was amazing,

you see the girls crying,

because they are so happy,

it's amazing.

You know, in Japan,

nobody really challenged it

before me.

I thought I was going to be

the first one really

to challenge the top.

I want to prove

that bodybuilding

is not all about size.

It's a dream

for every bodybuilder

to stand on the stage

for Mr. Olympia.

It was my dream.

It was my dream,

and I make it true.

Everybody can make it true

if you want it.

From Brooklyn, New York,

comes a predator.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Kai Greene!

When I was younger I'd leave

the cold institutional facility,

go to a bodybuilding show,

and I'd stand there on stage

with athletes, teenagers,

that had people at home

invested in seeing them succeed.

You'd hear

a very proud mom or pop,

sitting in the third

or fourth row

and then there was you,

no mom, no dad,

there's nobody gonna be sitting

in the audience,

proud of you,

but you were proud.

You took pleasure

in beating those guys that did.

He's your reigning

and current Mr. Olympia,

"The Gift," Phil Heath!

They only nitpick the best.

They only criticize the best.

They do!

In all sports, they do.

Because it's hard for someone to say, "He's

just perfect and we'll never talk about him"

They have to say something!

Did they announce it?

- Did they announce the Top 10?

- No.

I'm just gonna go.

As I call you out,

that means you're in the Top 10,

if you need to go see Pro Tan,

get greased up,

go down and do it,

then we'll get you up there.

In numeric order,

please, gentlemen,

Can I have Branch Warren,

Tony Freeman,

Johnnie Jackson,

Evan Centopani,

Lionel Beyeke,

Dexter Jackson,

Shawn Rhoden,

Dennis Wolf, Kai Greene,

and Phil Heath.

Once again, Branch, Tony,

Johnnie, Evan, Lionel,

Dexter, Shawn, Dennis,

Kai and Phil.

That's our Top 10,

thank you, gentlemen,

we should have you

on stage in roughly 20 minutes.

Roelly, sorry, brother.

Fuel for next year, baby!

Come back next year.
