At the 2004 Mr. Olympia, WWE Legend Triple H was brought in to interview the participants. Before the actual main event, Cutler and Coleman both took part in a friendly interview with ‘The Game’. Triple H asked both the bodybuilding legends questions, to which both of them answered wittily.
However, at one point, Triple H asked Cutler a stinging question related to Coleman and his success. The Game asked, “Hello package J! You just got done watching defending champion Ronnie Coleman’s routine. What goes through your mind when you are watching that? Is that intimidating to you?”
Cutler responded with an appropriate answer. He said, “You know, I have great respect for Ronnie, but you know people say this guy is unbeatable. And you know, I don’t agree with that. Everyone’s beatable on a certain day. And I’m gonna win this tonight.”
Cutler was full of confidence in winning the event, however, things did not go his way, and he eventually ended up losing to Coleman.

The Game then asked him, “What’s it like out there, Ronnie? You are the number one man in the show. It’s yours to win or lose. How do you feel?”
Coleman responded back with, “I live for this. I’m having the time of my life. I’m having a lot of fun here tonight.” Coleman seemed happy and enjoyed himself throughout the segment. Triple H then asked him about his thoughts on Cutler’s claim of Coleman being beatable.
