1999 NABBA Mr. Universe: The Men – Prejudging

The 51st NABBA Universe, held in England, enjoyed the highest standard of lineups seen in years. Class 4 was probably the best ever men’s lineup ever seen at the Universe; in fact most of the contenders have been class winners in international competitions.
