1993 NABBA Mr. Universe: Amateur & Professional:  Show

The battle of the champions at the fantastic International Convention Centre (ICC) in Birmingham, England on October 2nd, 1993.

A massive lineup (total of 136 bodybuilders from 25 countries – an all time record) really had the judges working for their coffee and biscuits!  I know we say this almost every year, but this year most of all, never have so many superlative physiques graced the Universe stage in both men’s and women’s categories. The ’93 Universe was a superb event, and GMV was there, as always, to capture all the action.

The Men’s Show video includes the posing by all top 6 finalists in each class from Amateur to Professional, together with the tense posedown for Overall Amateur Mr. Universe for 1993.  Watch for the battle between Australia’s John Terilli in the Professional Class making a comeback – versus the eventual winner Ed Kawak.

Ed Kawak looked sharper than he did in his last Universe victory, huge and dense with skin as tight as a drum. Australia’s John Terilli also looked sensational and only lacked the density compared to Kawak.  It was a bit like Mentzer against Zane in separating these two great stars of the sport. This was just in the professional division. The Amateurs included stars such as the class winners listed below and many more including Peter   from USA, Charles Duca, Lutz Wilke, Mike King and many more.

These are some of the highlights that made this one of our best productions for 1993.

The rear cover above shows Pro Mr. Universe winner ED KAWAK on the right and CHARLES DUCA of the famous arms on the left.

Professional Mr Universe – Edward Kawak (France)

Men’s Class 2 – Dennis Francis (Overall Amateur Mr Universe) UK
