1998 NABBA Mr. Universe: Show

The Men – The Show includes the Parade of Nations, and the complete posing routines of the top 6 finalists in all six classes (4 Amateur, Professional and Masters), as well as the posedown and awards. 1998 had it all, with the biggest crowd yet seen at the wonderful ICC in Birmingham!

Also includes the presentation of the 4 Legends on stage , as well as past winners who were attending the event.

What a Contest! What a piece of Fantastic History! 4 Great Legends presented on stage – Steve Reeves, Bill Pearl, Reg Park and Mickey Hargitay.

GMV Productions was there to capture all the excitement and action with our 2 cameras. The Pump Room is an absolute highlight for backstage raw muscle action.

It was a repeat victory for Pro Champion – Eddy Ellwood, weighing in at a shredded 285 lbs, as well as for John Citrone (190 lbs) in the Masters.   Big Gary Lister blitzed the men’s amateur field.

Also of note, the Wonder from Down Under- Pina Theodoridis winning her second overall Figure Class title. Masters winner John Citrone holds the record for the most NABBA titles ever won.  Julia Abel of UK won the Women’s Physique Class.
