Why arent the current mr olympias the most popular people in the sport

Jay and Ronnie were the best ambassadors, and none of those who have come after have been even remotely close, even with the tool of social media.

Totally agree.

Jay and Ronnie were great meeting fans in person.

Being popular on social media requires a totally different skill set .

That's why popular social media stars can be disappointing to meet in person.

That’s because Jay and Ronnie genuinely enjoyed meeting their fans!

I’d watch some like Dexter and you could he just could not be even remotely arsed.

Also Jay and Ronnie were favored by the Okabe documentaries that came out year after year, by that rivalry and the magazines that were still the direct way to obtain information.

Derek and Samson are GREAT on social media and sadly, you have to be now.

True and both excellent in real life. They take their jobs seriously.

Back 15 years ago , I got a picture with Dexter and let's just say he didn't look too thrilled to be there .
The ironic thing is , I was a big fan and told him it was an honor to get a picture with him .

I even posted it on this forum a few times .
To this day , the Mayor has some funny things to say about Dexter's expression in that picture hahaha

I'll take your word for that.
I never met or had any interaction with CBum , so I don't have a personal opinion about him

However, from many credible fans like you ,he seems to be a popular ambassador.

There are very talented athletes but they have no passion for their sport, they simply do it because allows them to earn money and have a good life. I think Dexter falls into this category, although in recent years he seemed to have become more friendly and relaxed with the fans.

I remember a Mexican footballer who played in Spain, he had previously played for Arsenal, Carlos Vela. He was very talented but quite lazy, he said that he did not like soccer and did not watch the games, that his dream would have been an NBA player, and finally he went to play soccer in the US League so he could watch the NBA in live.

Cbum is very cool with fans too, yep.
