I know none of can ever really no for sure where the exact cusp was, but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't dennis newman rising through the ranks before the slin/GH stack purportedly made its big foray into pro bb'ing and drastically changing the look from that point on? If that is in fact the case and these pics were pre GH/Slin explosion, how did this guy not throw something together to make a big run at an olympia?
