A Coleman Comeback ?

[Chris250]

Its been four years since Ronnie Coleman packed up his eight Sandow Trophies and sailed off into a [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]bodybuilding[/COLOR][/COLOR] sunset that still shines brightly on arguably the greatest career of all time. But before we start writing the story of his legendary career, it appears that there may be one more chapter left to be written. According to a story, first reported by "Pro Bodybuilding Weekly" radio, it appears that Big Ron is planning to hop on stage and compete later this year at the inaugural IFBB Pro World Master Championships. The December 10th event will take place in [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]Miami [COLOR=blue !important]Beach[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], Florida. So apparently the Big Nasty is taking his talents to South Beach. During the PBW broadcast, hosts Dan Solomon, Lee Thompson and Chad Nicholls reported that they've received confirmations from the contest's promoters as well as sources close to Coleman that the former champ is back in the gym and is targeting the December 10th event.

Arnold and Franco had successful comebacks, but they didn't face the competition that Ronnie does.

I hope he doesnt. It would only hurt him, unless there is some money to be made from doing it.

Well, they certainly don't end up accomplishing what they hoped they would. I can really only think of Jordan as coming back and returning to his old ways

Maybe Freeman will not get over looked for once... I think he should of won one big show on the past !!!

Yea, even still with Dexter and Freeman there, it'll be hard to win, but I'd agree he's almost certain to get top 5

if he has accepted that he's past his prime, maybe he just really likes to compete?

I know ronnie was always hardcore about bodybuilding lifestyle and he obviously still is.

It'll be nice to see him on stage once again anyway. I'd assume from reading how his mindset used to be, if he comes in and isn't up to par and thinks he can do better, he'll come back better
