I dont know much about Pro bodybuilding, and im watching "Pumping Iron" (Good Movie BTW) and Arnold and Ferrigno were competing in Mr. Universe. So I didnt know why guys from the O never won it.

Technically the Arnold Classic used to be the Mr. World promoted by Jim Lorimer. Lorimer and Arnold teamed up and it was the Pro World Championships then eventually switched to the Arnold Classic in 1989. NABBA still has the Mr. Universe. They started that title back in the 1940s (maybe late 1930s) and have kept it.

Mount Olypmus is greater than the whole universe because its owned by Joe Weider (in dollar terms).

There's also the natty WNBF World Championships... the winner of which is the Natural Mr. Universe. yes O/T, but something most people don't know

The Arnold Classic is basically the Mr. Universe contest. There is no more Mr. Universe.
