1990 NABBA AMATEUR MR. UNIVERSE:  PREJUDGING

The big stars were : Peter Reid, Shaun Davis, Robert Wall, Kevin O’Grady.  Held in Harrogate, Yorkshire, 22nd September, 1990.

THE PROFESSIONALS – A HAT TRICK FOR CHARLIE!! Charles Clairmonte, arguably the greatest British bodybuilder of modern times, again took on the world’s best to gain his third consecutive Professional Mr. Universe crown beating an impressive VICTOR TERRA of U.S.A. and a massive BASIL FRANCIS of England. A ripped and defined CLAUDIO MOSTACCI (Italy) placed a close 4th. Charles is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and yet carries huge amounts of beautifully defined muscle on a slim structure. Once again, he presented himself as the true professional. (NOTE: No footage of the Pros is in this Amateur Men’s PJ DVD.)

Men’s Class Three (Short): This class opened the Show, with a stunning lineup of thirteen excellent bodybuilders, each striving for victory The real battle for first place evolved between British rivals ROBERT WALL and TERRY FISHER – Robert’s size and shape against the rugged granite-like Terry Eventually the judges decided in favour of Robert’s mass and proportions, with a very ripped Eddie Lancia of Italy taking third place.

Men’s Class Two (Medium): As soon as this class strode out it was soon clear it would prove the most difficult category for the judges. With twenty-six competitors from around the world, it was a fiercely contested meeting of nations. PETER REID from England and CASEY KUCHARYK of USA soon emerged as the top two. Peter Reid was absolutely awesome from every angle! He has freaky muscle development, including an enormous back deep and beefy pecs, massive arms and wicked aesthetics. On the other hand Kucharyk’s lower body was amazing showing a hard vascularity and powerful thighs.  When the smoke had cleared Peter Reid had definitely outgunned Casey Kucharyk, with TONY FRANCIS (U.K.) third, and ANDREAS KREBS (Germany) fourth.

Men’s Class One (Tall): This Class usually presents some amazing physiques, and this year was no exception. There was a battle royal for the top five positions with spirited  combat between SHAUN THE DINOSAUR’ DAVIS (U.K.), OWEN NEIL(U.K.), ROBERT HARROP (U.S.A.), KLAUS RAGG (Germany), and FAUSTO ASCANI (Italy). With his shaven head and intermittent grunts and scowls, Shaun Davis presents a fearsome enough sight but it’s his physique which really chills his rivals! With his wide, wide shoulders, huge deltoids, and ripped thighs, Shaun was the man with the strongest credentials and fully deserved first place.

The Overall Amateur Title:  For the first time ever, we saw three Britons fighting it out for the Overall Amateur title – PETER REID (Medium Class) SHAUN DAVIS (Tall Class), and ROBERT WALL (Short Class). The posedown was a hectic battle before Peter was announced the winner. With his blend of aesthetics and eye-popping musculature, allied to superb condition, the overall award was more than justified.

This Amateur Mr Universe Prejudging DVD has the complete routines of all 59 competitors, together with the important round three comparisons for each class.
The Show DVD, shot with 2 cameras, includes the routines of the six finalists in each class, together with the complete posedowns and awards for each Amateur class; the judging, posedown and award for the Overall Amateur title; and the Professionals’ routines, judging and awards.
