2006 AUSSIE PRO RESULTS!

**Trick D** · 03-21-2006, 04:07 AM

WOW... I am on 56k modem so I can only give you top 6.

1. Ronnie Rockel (wow)
2. lee Priest
3. Vince Taylor (49 years old, first comp since 2002)
4. Mustafa Mohammed
5. Branch Warren
6. Francis Benfatto (he looked damn good too at 48)

Luke Wood was at the show and he said that Vince Taylor could have easily won the show and said he would have had him at 1st and Francis at 3rd!

This means that Vince qualifies for the Olympia. He is said to do the Masters NY pro in APril and the Denver show in May. Lets see how he holds up against some of the youngest competitors at the Shawn Ray Denver show

Wow that is pretty surprising. I expected Branch to place higher, but I am happy that Vince did well.

Ronnie Rockel is good but I never expected him to win!

He really has improved... branch is just tired... he had to travel a long way and had 3 shows in 4 weeks or so. It is hard to stay in condition. He placed second at the Arnold... He did his job.

I was blown away when I saw Vince's name in the #3 spot.

That is awesome to see that old vet having that kind of success.

What happened to Branch Warren?

Vince placed higher than several top pros.

I need to see pics of Vince. :cam:

I was also amazed to see Benfatto's name. Haven't seen him for a long time too.

I just checked out pics at flexonline.com and I would have to pick Vince over Ronnie. Especially the back shots. Vince's back was bigger and had better detail than Ronnie's. Ronnie has slightly better legs, but only because they are bigger and he is shorter than Vince.

I know, I have to agree with you. I will post some pictures of Vince three days out and his arms are just awesome. Benfatto looked really good, could have been higher. Mustafa's waist was way too wide. Branch just wasn't sharp and doing that many shows in a row will do it to you. Lee really didn't look too good either, but I would have placed him third or fourth.

Here are some pics three days out the Aussie Pro. Vince looks awesome.

It will be awesome to watch Vince at the Olympia.
