1995 NABBA UNIVERSE: THE MEN - THE SHOW
This year we did something special to mark the 25th time we have covered the NABBA Universe on film or video. The first was back in 1970 when the winners were Arnold Schwarzenegger (Professional), Frank Zane (Amateur) and Christine Zane in the women's event.
Held in Birmingham, UK on October 14th, 1995 in the wonderful I.C.C., we had two camera crews covering the 150 competitors and the day's proceedings. You will see pump room action (men and women), interviews with the top competitors and a 2 camera production at the Evening Show in this 90 minutes of fantastic muscle. See all of the posing routines of the top 6 in each class through to posedowns and awards.
Some Major Highlights Include:
Pax Beale from USA - The oldest competitor ever at 65 years.
John Citrone winning consecutive Masters titles. Amazing condition! 34 years in competition!
Grant Clemesha winning the first ever overall Amateur Mr. Universe title by an Australian. He is still the only such winner as at 2008.
Brian Buchanan (ex British competitor - now Australian) making it the men's double for Australia winning the Professional Universe. His last contest was the 1988 Mr. Olympia.
Shane Stratton winning the class title for Australia.
Mike King (UK) and Dennis James (USA) - now a top Pro, were other class winners.
This is the longest running and most prestigious event in the history of bodybuilding! The line stretches from Grimek and Reeves through Schwarzenegger to Grant Clemesha, Australia's first overall Amateur Men's winner in 1995.
