            It has always been Franco Columbu...with a "u" at the end, not an "o"...Famous bodybuilder, Actor, and world strongest man competitor...2X Mr. Olympia champion...and he was the pictish scout @ 00:58 in "Conan The Barbarian" when the riders of doom invaded Conan's village!...

                What's up Manster?

                So Gold's Gym in Venice just made a mistake right? https://imgur.com/a/tPWWCPG

                You'd think if they spelt his name incorrectly, Franco would let them know, no?

                It has always been Columbu for you but for me, it's always been Columbo. Kinda sad you're from a different timeline since you're one of the good guys.

                    It's like SBR making you the player of the year or your College diploma (from Maryland/Virgina?) spelling your name Da Canster! and you not correcting them. It's highly unlikely if you spelt his name wrong, he wouldn't correct it.

                    I guess you never heard of the Mandela Effect?
                    Regardless, yeah kinda sad you're from the same timeline as the village idiot pavyracer.

                      The Mandela effect!......GK bringin' out some funk!...It's been years since I've heard that term...it has something to do with a lot of people or a certain % of the population believing something happened but it never did?...Regardless, thanks for the kind words and appreciation my brother!......PS...I wish I was with you at that timeline when your roommate's college girlfriend didn't wear any panties and that blanket stunk to high hell!...I would have loved to taken a sniff of that and belched like a mothafukka!...

                                For those that are confused like Pavy, I'll explain.

                                There are some weird shit going on since 2012 or so where two different time lines merged somehow.

                                So when I say from my timeline Franco Columbu was Franco Columbo, it doesn't mean I have false memory, it just changed to Columbu for people from my timeline. Hence, there are residues such as the Gold's Gym pic with his name spelt Franco Columbo or people like Arnold calling him Franco Columbo. People like Arnold are from my time line. People like pavyracer and Da Manster are from another timeline.

                                Yeah it's gets complicating. Neither of us are wrong. It's just a big mindfukk.

                                Cern really is messing with alternate Universe.

                                  I could have sworn I was older than you!......I'm laughing because of your timeline reference...Anyhow, I'm 51, born May 1st, 1971...How old are you?...(if you don't mind me asking)

                                    I'm curious to find out when the switch was made.

                                    I found this:



                                    In 1968 in his first cover in German magazine he was Franco Columbo (due to mispelling according to website).

                                    In 1969 in his first American cover he was Franco Colombo.

                                    In 1972 cover he was Franco Colombu.

                                    In 1974 booklet he was Franco Columbu.

                                    In 1977 cover he was Franco Columbu.

                                    So in the first 5 years of his career his name was spelled with 4 different variations so at some point he had enough and told those motherfukkers to call him Columbu from no on.
