I don't disagree with Chick with the way he defends the IFBB and it's athletes. They' re the ones that pay him, and put food on the table. If you worked for Verzon, are u going to promote Cingular. But Chick, you have to agree that another federation would promote competition, and as a result, it would make bodybuilding better as a whole. It would give the athletes an alternative, and cause each federation to work that much harder.
An example would be when WCW with Ted Turner, beat WWE and McMahon in the ratings, and became it's competition. That period had some of the most entertaining television in wrestling history. It also gave the wrestlers an alternative if they were getting screwed from one company.
So, in the end, the wrestlers and the fans benefited. And in bodybuilding, the same would happen, and if you are for the athletes, how can u go against this.......It's called free enterprise!
