Ronnie Coleman posing 3 weeks out from the 1998 Night Of Champions

This was the first show of Ronnie working with Chad Nicholls.


Chad on instagram:

Here’s a flashback to where it all began! These are 3 weeks out of the ’98 NOC – our very first show working together. We all know he went on to win that show, but it was also when I realized there was something very special about Ronnie Coleman. Work ethic like his is very rare and I knew right then it was going to be an amazing ride! These are the exact set of photos that I received (in the mail-overnighted) – 3 weeks out, un-altered – exactly what I looked at during that point in the prep. These are the first time anyone will be seeing these – have never been posted or printed anywhere before.
