Shawn Ray - Is in The House!!!!

Shawn what do you think of the 212 class?

Would you have competed in it or would you have stayed in the open class even though your chances of winning a Mr Olympia 212 title would have been a lot better obviously?

[Rajkapoor]

please tell me what year shawn or flex should've won

Mr. Levrone won more shows than both, beat both more than he lost to them, and was runner up 4 times so you tell me what he lacked "potential wise" compared to those 2

i dont care how many shows he won kevin has weak back which throw him out of hall of fame instantly .shawn and flex simply has wao factor when they hit front and back db cuz they flow better from head to toe better tie ins and muscle density.not sure about shawn because small guy will always have disadvantage winning olympia but if flex did not got hurt he would have taken at least 2 Olympia titles from Ronnie.he was the only guy who could beat less than 100% Ronnie.

My son and I were working out at the SLC Gold's on Van Winkle Drive, sometime around 2007-2008.  In waddles Jay Cutler (must have been there for some promotional deal) and lumbers across the gym while texting on his phone.  My kid had no idea who he was but he remarked that the big dude was "terminally buff."

Opinions -- Clearly the judges didn't quite see at that way as kev did place ahead of them several times.

All 3 were top of the tree pro's in their day.

out of hall of fame?

ok you are right, shawn winning 2 shows while Mr. Levrone won 20 and beat shawn and flex more than he lost to them means nothing and more "wao" factor

Shawn, Kevin, Flex, Cormier and their fellow competitors were the last generation of professional bodybuilders that actually looked incredible . Dorian came in and looked good for the first few years before the big guts took over. Now, with a few exceptions, they look like crap . Phil Heath is an abortion.

Phil did look good the 1st couple of years - Quickly went all pudgy dough boy looking & as for his midsection awful.

No I would not have competed in it as it was clear I was already the Best 212lb BBer.
I was trying to be The Best Bodybuilder, anything less would not be very appealing to me.

[kreator]

typical gym behaviour, nothing to see here, move along ...

[seCrawler]

There couldn't be another Mr O more boring than this clown and his protege Heath.

Shawn's answer to some questions/posts

[denarii]

Shawn are you going to write an expose? Maybe even get a Netflix series out of it?

[nzmusclemonster]

A grown man pulling his pants down and waddling around the gym in his underpants.

Some "sport" this is.

Do you believe you never won because you didn't pay your dues, hard enough?

[Rimstinger]

If you had to be resurrected, would you come back as a black man or white?

[rocket]

ah yes! There’s the old Sean we all know

Agreed.

Though, I would doubt many current people here would know that Shawn is an asshole.

I'm sure they'll become clearer on that as he expresses himself with more charmless justifications on subjects - such as why Kevin Levrone couldn't have a piece of orange.

And don't get me wrong, I think you're entitled to wage your thong war however you please - I think an asshole is also someone who says that you must give your food to someone - no, it's the phrasing - the bitchiness.

You can get the same pettiness you're watching that video where he wandering around hotel grounds?, luxuriating on Lee Priest's fortunes.   You can tell, this is man that is lacking in class.

That being said, honestly, bodybuilding needs someone who is willing to go into that territory and say it like it is because geez it is full of very fragile egos.

[Simple Simon]

all the talk of Dorians granite hardness, Shawn looks more detailed in that shot and for me takes it.

[falco]

Shane was great .

[Simple Simon]

Shane was great .

[NotMrAverage]

Yes. Sad too😎

Hahaha! You crack me up man 

[Rimstinger]

Agreed.

He's short, american and a bodybuilder.

Chances of the above not being an asshole is like coming across a vegan Hyena.

Lee Priest was also one of the Best, like you.
