That’s right folks – The Mutant just can’t stop sharing on social media. There are daily physique updates, he’s doing really cool things with fans at shows on stage, and he’s taking Pittsburgh as seriously as one would expect he’d take the Mr Olympia. This is, after all, the President’s show, so it’s good to see the former North American champion firing on all cylinders for this comeback (of sorts).
The Pittsburgh may be Walker’s true return to the stage. I think we can all agree that the 2024 NY Pro was a fluke. The show was fantastic, but the decision to crown Walker the champion was all but a bad joke by today’s standards. The powers that be miscalculated on that one. They were probably surprised that even bootlickers like Bob Cicherillo questioned the judges’ decision to award Nick the win over Martin. And that’s not me fanboying. That’s just how the cookie crumbled. That said, I’m pleased that Nick isn’t going to bring whatever physique he slaps together in hopes that he emerges with the win. That might have worked last year against Martin (at a time when his only win was the Detroit Pro and he’d never stepped foot on an Olympia stage). Given those circumstances, perhaps the judges thought they could pull a fast one, but not now. They couldn’t do that with Martin, today, and they certainly can’t do it in Pittsburgh, with the likes of Martin and Derek in the mix. The question is, how high-stakes is Pittsburgh for The Mutant?
