Since winning his first in 1998, there has been one constant, undeniable and irrepressive force on the Olympia stage: Ronnie Coleman. Even last year, one year after Coleman's streak of eight consecutive wins was broken by long-time runner-up Jay Cutler in 2006, the enormous shadow of Coleman's legend loomed over the rest of the field. During his reign, which lasted longer than any other aside from Lee Haney's, it was impossible to mention the Olympia without immediately mentioning Coleman's name.

So even though the story lines are aplenty heading into this year's contest, you'll have to excuse us for feeling a bit nostalgic as the end of September approaches. With that in mind, we caught up with perhaps the greatest bodybuilder who ever lived a week before the 2008 Mr. Olympia to get his thoughts on retirement, this year's lineup and, yes, a possible comeback to the competitive stage.
