Shawn Ray was blunt and honest… and ultimately right about Kevin Levrone.

This week Vlad brings back Shawn Ray on the show to follow up on his original Olympia predictions for Kevin Levrone and the reactions he received from fans.

When I last spoke with Shawn Ray he said a very controversial thing – without sugarcoating it he bluntly stated that Kevin Levrone was making a big mistake with his Olympia comeback. That he could get injured and would not place high. Fans reacted immediately and were divided on this opinion… but ultimately Shawn Ray was right. Kevin came in last at the Mr. Olympia 2016 and while what he accomplished is still very impressive and inspiring… it doesn’t change the fact that Shawn’s comments were completely spot on. Kevin did get hurt and he didn’t beat Phil Heath like many believers were proclaiming. That’s why I needed to bring Shawn Ray back onto Iron Cinema to follow up on the aftermath of his predictions and the actual results. You can watch the full interview above.
