Ranked on the list of most popular Bodybuilder. Also ranked in the elit list of famous celebrity born in United States. Kai Greene celebrates birthday on July 12 of every year. Kai has made an extensive effort to portray himself as a humble competitor, troubled by his own insecurities yet empowered by the belief that anything can happen. This mantra that he has yelled and quite loudly for himself may sound like marketing hype to garner followers, but consider this:.
Kai really was raised in foster care and residential treatment centers in Brooklyn, New York. He really was an impoverished Brooklyn child. His entry into bodybuilding came about as a way to counteract his troublesome behavior as a young teen. Even if the details of his childhood and upbringing have been embellished to create a more interesting character, the over-arching message is at least mostly true. If bodybuilding has ever saved a man, it saved Kai Greene. Why, then, would Kai tear down a persona that he spent years creating?
Why would he turn heel and become the villain of the Olympia? He lost it. Kai is an icon as much as anyone who ever became champion [excluding Arnold, and maybe Lee Haney if you subscribe to the belief that he was significantly responsible for ushering in the Mass Monster Era.
I do not; although I do believe that Haney is often forgotten, I believe he should be remembered for his eight consecutive Sandows rather than for his cultural impact on the sport]. Kai has a larger online following than even the current Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath. He built this following mostly through YouTube videos and his gone-viral social monologues. He encourages an astounding number of his followers.
Whether this all is genuine or not, Kai has a lasting impact on the people he touches. So good, in fact, that he was invited to compete at the deadlift competition at Mr. Olympia And that was about the time that I found some videos of Kai Greene. Characters are defined by one aspect; human beings are not. The difference between a real human being and an un real character is that we, as humans, are multi-dimensional, and the imaginary personas that we create are one-dimensional.
This is why it is so easy to fall in love with television characters or the protagonist of your favorite novel; not only do they not exist, but they never could exist. If Kai chose to make his troubled upbringing the singular aspect that defines him as a character , it does not mean that his troubled upbringing also defines him as a person.
And this is why we should not be outraged by his efforts to capitalize on something that helps him as a businessman and a bodybuilder. Our desire to root for Kai Greene is our desire to root for every underdog. We sympathize. They are not concerned with the story of a competitor or the shortcomings of his fans. A lot of fans will have a hard time accepting that. And, admittedly, they may have a good case. Bodybuilding is a subjectively coached sport that aims to be governed by objective criteria.
Even that sentence takes a while to digest — but imagine trying to apply it as a judge. Many fans see Kai as the better bodybuilder because they admire him as a person, and because of this they become biased when evaluating his physique. Well, some fans may make a decent case that Kai deserved the win. We at least most of us have untrained eyes. This is the reason that I asked Skip Hill to weigh in.
His eyes, trained through many years of competing, coaching, and judging in bodybuilding, are more trustworthy than mine and likely yours, too. Even with his personal connection to Phil Skip, too, lives in Colorado and both train at Armbrust Pro Gym , Skip has enough experience to rid him of the biases that affect others.
Then he poses and he looks great. His underdog story might resonate more strongly if he never does, in fact. If you turn the tables, switch spots with him and Phil, you could not say the same about Phil whatsoever.
This is why Kai was able to fall into the emotionally volatile challenger role that he played so well at this Olympia. He is a man that has climbed his way out of poverty and childhood homelessness, vying for recognition on the biggest bodybuilding stage of them all.
In the eyes of his fans, he has earned the right to be angry and unpredictable. The character Kai Greene won again. But hanging in the balance of all this is the person Kai Greene. The man that just lost to Phil Heath, again. The man who finished in second place, just not good enough , for the third time in his life. Nothing on the bodybuilding stage is going to take away from your legacy.
Jordan Houser. Tags: bodybuilding , ifbb pro , Mr. It has been four days since the Olympia. Four days since Phil Heath claimed his fourth Sandow. Why did Phil win? And why are so many fans outraged by it? This mantra that he has yelled and quite loudly for himself may sound like marketing hype to garner followers, but consider this: Kai really was raised in foster care and residential treatment centers in Brooklyn, New York.
The long answer is not so simple. We feel your loss, Kai. But the right man won the Olympia. Nicholas Gomez.
