So, according to the Olympia champion, the magazine that also featured Cristiano Ronaldo, showed him as something he was not, and portrayed him as a demigod-like human. Cutler describes how the pictures in the magazine were of his father bronzing him up as he flexed his muscles and him, picking up the sofa in his house. These portrayed him as a superhero rather than a human. The Quad Stomper did not oppose the portrayal but was surprised by this, and it remained a core memory in his mind. His commendable comeback, even after defeats is what made him so unique in the eyes of the media. This is also evidenced by his 2009 comeback where he resurrected like a Phoenix.
