sorry to hear that.

**D-NUTZ** · December 11th, 2012, 05:16 PM

And the 2013 Arnold Classic Champion is...

Branch Warren

All the best branch hope he comes into the Olympia in his best shape ever

Dissapointed to hear this. I was looking forward to Branch getting his ass handed to him by a hungry up and coming bodybuilder. Oh well. I'm suprised that he already recieved the phone call notifying him that he won't be winning this year. The show is still 4 months away

That's terrible, but I hope he manages to retain his best poser award, maybe he can mail in a video of him stomping around his house. It should be enough to win it.

Did Wolf say he's not doing it? Could be a good payday for him unless Dex shows up

**Cunter** · December 11th, 2012, 05:47 PM

time to retire

**Adina Zanolli** · December 11th, 2012, 05:47 PM

If Dexter were to enter and win, he would tie Flex at four wins for the all time record.

Cedric for the win! must like NY pro though.

Or Dexter!!!

Smart move on Branch's part. He has to rest his body

**FLIP** · December 11th, 2012, 05:50 PM

Dexter right now would murder Cedric right now. Ced got to come in harder and drier to hang wit Dex

Just as I said in the master o's play by play thread that Dennis James would place at least 3rd place because it's olympia branded show. Nobody would've thought that.

I agree. They want someone new to win. As indicated by Branch dropping out, and Dexters placings in his last few Olympias/Arnold Classics

**bigrgc** · December 11th, 2012, 06:09 PM

They are looking for new people to win. Troy won two shows and nobody really cared. If they award someone with 1st place trophies that bodybuilder needs to have a good sponsor, or a large fan base. Otherwise what does the IFBB gain?

**alexxxxx** · December 11th, 2012, 06:17 PM

what is this bullshit i couldn't wait to see branch getting his ass handed to his face and now he's scared? Evan and Wolf schould have a change of mind now that the title is up for grabs or maybe the ifbb is making way for cedric to win this show, POLITICS AT BEST !!!
