Flex Wheeler On His Rivalry With Dorian Yates!

Too bad you’re black um Sergio anyone or a guy named lee 😂gtfoh flex

Its not really a rivalry if one person dominates

Yates won because he had the best work ethic trained the hardest and also the smartest. If Kenny had Yates drive work ethic etc etc he'd have won 10. Yet he still moans even after Yates tore his bicep he still didn't beat him. There's the answers above

Flex has got to be the best mr olympia that was never crowned , the last of the classics full stop

Mouse? 🐁 😆

I see people in the comments saying if Flex trained more often, if he was more disciplined he would’ve beaten Dorian. Listen, Flex was better as he was! He was better than Dorian and the mass monsters, he was better than Zane and the aestethics crowd, he was the best of all time!

Even Arnold said Flex was the best he ever saw, period. Dorian and Ronnie took Mr. Olympia in a bad direction! I fully believe the best guys never won Mr. O because of Dorian.
There must have been five other guys that should have won at least one.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ

Flex is the most perfect physique in bodybuilding history

Nobody ever had cavs like Dorian

Flex had zero self confidence early on.
I couldn't imagine flaring my lats in the mirror and looking like he did and not being an overconfident beast.

IF...Flex trained like Dorian or Kobe...
There'd be no argument.
Flex was the closest thing there was to cartoonish perfection.
ZERO weak points.
Just soft glutes cause he didn't have the work ethic to fully cultivate God's gift to him.

The first time I saw Flex wheeler on the magazine, I was stunned. Balance proportion and just good amount of muscle.

The level of disrespect Flex has here towards Dorian is dissapointing. Coleman and Ray feel the same way. I can’t help but chalk it down to them being jealous that they didn’t win. Dorian was so much bigger and with more condition, an excellent poser, with torn muscles that only really became a problem in 97’. How can you say Dorian from 92-96 doesn’t smoke anyone that’s ever competed. That was the peak of muscular development. Now we just see blown up soft muscle. Even Ronnie had soft muscle in 2003 but so many people call that the greatest physique 😂 Not even the pros know anything about their own sport.

Sergio was just being nice. No one thought Flex shoulda won '93, that was one of the most insane packages ever bought to the stage. But after the bicep injury, this highlighted a problem with the current judging criteria, it allowed someone to have a flaw and not be punished severely enough. There is no way he should be walking away with perfect scores because simply put his front double bicep was never gonna trump any of the guys with non bicep tears every again. It's not a front thigh, calves and lat flare pose, its a friggin' front double bicep pose. Not saying DY didn't deserve some of those Sandow's but I think 6 was too many, he prolly shoulda won about 4.
They still have not fixed the judging mess, and here we see the 2023 Arnold Classic Nick Walker controversy loss as evidence. Whereas before DY was winning because of the mandatory poses (he wins the majority), now we have an athlete who clearly was winning the majority of the mandatories now not winning the competition overall.

"Too bad you're black or you'd be great one day" I don't get that comment at all because blacks have been big in bodybuilding for decades now. Lee Haney was dominating 8x when Flex was coming up. But either way it was a stupid insulting comment to make to him.

What "rivalry"?
Dorian always absolutely SMOKED FLex onstage.
Then , of course , there were those NINJAS so ........ 🥷

Flex's genuine, open demeanor is inspiring. The man has been through some real sh!t and serious pain. I wish him all the happiness and success with the rest of his life. What a good soul. Flex, thank you for being you.

Long live the Late Great Flex Wheeler 🙏

Flex is a gentleman

Dorian was an amazing poser actually. He was really good at showcasing his strengths and hiding his weaknesses. The only pose that really suffered from the biceps tear was the FDB. He was that good at hiding it otherwise. It wasn't until 97 that he really went to hell. No way he should have won that one.

Flex is a great and humble person.

They got so blinded to Dorian's mass they didn't care to notice the uneven biceps, which was a crime to Flex...who had perfect shape

Can you imagine being as good as Flex but being sandwiched in between Dorian and Ronnie? Bad luck.

For the front upper body I think he beats Yates but legs and back are where compertions are won and Yates had that down

Flex wheeler: the best bodybuilding genetics ever.

Introvert goat

Dorian had a torn bicep but flex had fake calves so .. come on flex

A lot of politics but Dorian had that Arnold mindset where he would own the stage. He walked around it quiet and calmly but you felt like he was the guy. It was his house. He gave off an energy of dominance while the other guys just looked like happy buff dudes. I don’t want to sound ignorant but after watching a few shows there’s certainly politics in play but the mind games were set in motion way before any of them got up there.

I met Serg too! You were better than both dudes who beat you...

Flex Wheeler and Shawn Ray got hosed... Sorry its probably why I lost interest in the sport too much fixed bullshit

The best competitor to not win an Olympia?

I think so.

Flex was a class act. To bad about his accidents and his career. 2021

Sorry Flex but Dorian was clearly superior in those early battles. The later ones granted he had clear issues but everything else was absolutely monstrous. He should not have been getting all 5's on his last couple of wins but none of the other competitors were deserving of 5's either. It was very close and as you said, Dorian's presence probably carried him at the end.

Flex is such a God damn bullshitter

He tore it for one Olympia your acting like it’s been since day one of his career

This guy is 53 wtf.

Being black never stopped lee Haney in the 80s , come on have a word. And why didn't Dorrian Yates slap shawn ray around the back of the head.

Did he say wanker?

This Scottish guy pre inter webs bought a VHS tape of the Olympia to see Flex get second to Yates. So awesome to actually be able to hear his perspective years later.

im not racist so plese i hope nobody offended..if i hearing this on the radio..and dont know who is f.wheeler...im gonna thought this is white dude talking

great syntholnetics with this one

OH IT MUST BE RACISM WHEN A WHITE GUY BEATS A BLACK GUY,MUST HAVE JUST COME WHEN YATES COME NOT HANEY OR COLEMAN REIGNS

Flex could never put on the ripped heavy muscle. He was a lightweight up against Dorian.

Flex was the best bodybuilder ever and he is such nice person......all the best for him 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Even Dorian in the years since has sort of admitted his last couple Olympia wins were given to him on credit. 1993 though between him and Flex that’s a true toss up.

Damn this guy is REAL

Get Flex again

Wait, don't you need to have some wins against someone to have a rivalry?

98 pound when he graduated, what!?!?
