1997 night of champions

 

[Joe Pietaro]

These are from the 1997 Women's Extravaganza, which actually held the 1999 Ms. Olympia two years later. My friend Bob Bonham was promoting the WE and when the Ms. O fell through, some scrambling was done behind the scenes to rescue it and make it a part of the show that was already scheduled. The sponsors apparently bailed on the Ms. O and it almost was not held that year.

From Wikipedia: 1999 Ms. Olympia controversy..The 1999 Ms. Olympia was originally scheduled to be held on 9 October in Santa Monica, California. However, one month before the scheduled date, the IFBB announced that the contest had been cancelled. The main cause was the withdrawal of promoter Jarka Kastnerova (who promoted the 1998 contest in Prague) for financial reasons, including a low number of advance ticket sales for the 1999 event. The backlash following the announcement led to a flurry of activity, with the contest being rescheduled as part of the Women's Extravaganza (promoted by Kenny Kassel and Bob Bonham) in Secaucus, New Jersey[/URL] on 2 October. Last minute sponsorship came from several sources, most significantly in the form of $50,000 from Flex.

Now that it has been dropped all together, it's kind of funny to think back that at one time in the 1980s, the Ms. Olympia was so big that it was held on its own night and own venue separate from what is now called Olympia Weekend.
