As promised (threatened?), here is another piece of fan
fiction: Mr America vs Dracula: While watching a British
vampire movie, Jeff King fell asleep. He woke up in
front of the fog-enshrouded Castle Dracula. The evil
Count moved in from behind and bit King in the neck.
The vampire cried out in pain as he spat out some broken fangs, then morphed into a bat and flew
unsteadily away. The castle gate opened and a horde
of the undead came out (perhaps a thousand). King
spotted the ruins of a Roman temple, went over, picked
up a fallen 20 ton column, hoisted it at arm's length
overhead and hurled it at the vampires. Hundreds were
crushed into dust, and after launching two more columns, the army of the undead no longer existed.
King entered the castle, found a bow and arrow and
went up to a rampart just as dawn was breaking. He
spotted the vampire bat heading at high speed for the
castle and shot the arrow. It passed through the bat
and continued on, and, as the sun came up. Dracula
went down in flames. When King awoke, he was relieved to see there were no souvenirs of the dream
visit. At the same time, an American tourist in
Transylvania in a forest 50 miles from Castle Dracula
was staring in disbelief at a medieval arrow deeply
embedded in an oak tree...

Good story! Jeff has the link to this site, so I'd expect some reaction soon.

I saw this a few months ago. It's a remake.

Thanks, but I'll go with what Rod said. And here's another one: Target: Earth! The date: October 31, 1983. The Place: Big Daddy's Gymn in Springfield MA.
Jeff King, the new Mr. Universe, works out unaware (as
are the rest of the world's population) that a cloaked
alien spacecraft is in the process of completing its survey of earth's suitability for colonization. An alarm goes off on the craft as a computer reports the scan
has discovered someone unlike the others. The alien
commander orders a robot to to be teleported to the
scene to verify the report and destroy the subject with its death ray. King hears a noise, turns, and spots the
robot with lights flashing. He laughs, assuming this is
a gag cooked up by the Engineering Dept. of Springfield
College. The robot fires its lethal death ray which fails
to penetrate King's massive msucles! Annoyed that
his workout has been interrupted, King walks over and
and brings his fist down on the robot. The alien
contraption collapses into a heap of metal shards. A
janitor walks in and asks Mr. Universe if he broke some
exercise equipment as he sweeps up the remnants.
Shocked by the destruction of their device, the aliens conclude that an attack on earth would be disastrous.
How will I explain to our High Master that he will be
unable to visit Las Vegas, thought the chief alien, as his
craft retreated with the crew trembling with fear at the
images of Jeff King on their scanners...

Nothing, except to provide a little humor. I hope
there are no rules here against fan fiction, fan letters,
or humor.

Can anyone tell me what Jeff is doing now, Jeff and I used to compete against each other back east when we were teens. Although I had great lines and shape he had that thickness and size even as a teen he always won. He was truly gifted superior genetics I moved to Ca. was one of the original Conan’s at Universal; I would love to know what happened with his life. I always thought he could have been one of the best.

Jeff is married, has three children, and works as a police officer and health care provider. He's still in incredible shape and hasn't lost one shred of his totally unique personality.
Watch a future issue of Iron Man for my exclusive two-part interview with Jeff, entitled "The Jeff King Chronicles." It will run with new pix of Jeff today!

Thanks for the info Rod, glad to hear he’s still in shape. Maybe he’ll compete again someday. He can do a masters show I’m toying with the idea of doing the masters nationals maybe a good show for him as well. I’d like another crack at him lol I don’t know with his pro status and all. If you speak with him again tell him Vinnie formally of Ct. sends his best.

I certainly will convey your hello, Vince! But I must tell you this: it's doubtful Jeff will ever compete again. He's incurred many injuries from his heavy lifting days, and today, it's "bone against bone," to quote Jeff himself. He's still in great shape, looks much younger than his mid-40's, and is charming as ever just the same.
Working with Jeff again was a trip down memory lane for me. In 1985, I sold my very first freelance Bodybuilding interview (to MuscleMag), and it was with Jeff. I was still in college then and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my newfound writing career as a campus reporter. Well, thanks to Jeff, I had my answer!
"The Jeff King Chronicles" is a two-parter, and the first part takes place in 1989. The second part is in 2008. It's an eye-opener!

Thanks Rod, I look forward to reading your article I’m sure it will take me down memory lane as well. Just chatting on Iron Age has brought back a lot of memories; bodybuilding was a lot of fun in the old days. I consider myself luck to have trained, hung out and competed with some of the best.

O.K. here we go there’s always got to be some miserable negative personality that has to twist things. Listen buddy if you don’t understand where people are coming from just leave your own warped and perverted thought process out of it. Why are you on Iron Age where people go to reminisce about the old days in Bodybuilding. You see people have what you would call favorites, Jeff King was a tremendous Bodybuilder, and of course people are going to talk about him.

37 years in Bodybuilding I’ve earned the right to post what ever I want. I’m standing up to you because of your narrow mind. Way do you have to put down others for the passions they have. Why do you have to pervert their ideas, these people did nothing to you but you have some issues that makes you lash out at peoples ideas. Why the hate it’s a useless emotion maybe you should get to know these people they sound like nice people.

Vince, I've never seen that pic of Jeff before! Thanks for posting it.
As for our friend, "Tom," just ignore him. He posted a few months ago that he "doubted" my Jeff King interview would ever see the light of day. When I point blank asked him what gave him such an impression, he backtracked and said I seemed like an "angry" man. I don't suffer fools easily.
Maybe I missed this somewhere--but didyou ever compete with Jeff, Vince?

Yes, Jeff and I compete several time as teens, I will say he always won. We were also at the teen America together. I had dieted to hard missed the heavyweights by about a pound. The photo is the cover of an east cost mag someone gave it to back in the day. It has coverage on all the east cost contests. I’ve got to tell you there were a crop of very good teens that year. Here’s what I looked like back then.

Awesome pic, Vince! You look like one rugged mofo!
I gotta agree with you about the teen muscle during that time. The first time I ever saw Jeff King's photo, it was right next to one of a very young Eddie Robinson. Eddie was (and still is) completely amazing. At 18, he carried incredible beef! I also thought Nick Lavitola's physique was extraordinary. Did you know Nick? I interviewed him twice--one for Muscle Training Illustrated in 1987 and another for MuscleMag, in 1992. He became a power lifter, and then we lost touch. But his physique was a very cool combination of powerful mass and graceful aesthetics.
We'll never see the likes of them (or of you, for that matter) again!
