The montage accompanying the post featured various commentators praising Wheeler’s musculature. And, even Schwarzenegger’s voice was also there praising Wheeler for having precision and flexibility. “I don’t think I have seen in the history of bodybuilding anyone be so flexible that he does this particular pose,” Arnie said about Wheeler. It is undoubtedly a magical feat to woo this legend with your stage presence.
Wheeler was truly an uncrowned king
It is widely accepted among the fans of Bodybuilding that Wheeler was an uncrowned Mr. Olympia. He did get quite close to winning it once against Ronnie Coleman, but the latter bagged it. Wheeler has finished on the 2nd spot in Mr. Olympia quite a few times (1993, 1998, and 1999).
