Hey Now!
I heard on Howard 101 news (Sirius Radio) that Nicole Bass is cash strapped and actually had to borrow cash from Howard Stern to pay some of her husbands outstanding tickets before he got himself arrested.
Nicole stated that she would return to competing (and wrestling) to drum up some much needed cash
-
I heard this too lol.
I actually heard that she was going to make her comeback at the Europa this year, but that didn't happen. I'm not sure what show she may be planning on doing. I believe her last show was the Ms. Olympia 1997?
-
I wonder what happened to them?
She was an amazing larger than life FBB in the 1990s, but her looks aged a million years in the last few years.
I read an interview of hers in Muscle Mag about 3 years ago that was the last I heard.
She was in the Japanese wrestling ciruit or something and she was trying to arrange a fight with some guy who she hated................... .
Shame that things have gone so wrong for her and her hubby
-
did it ever come out she was born a woman?? i know this was some kind of joke howard had played on her years back and she cried about it..(the jackie martling sound effect of Herman Munster crying in the background was friggin hilarious) that'd be crazy to see that amazon get back onstage again.

LOL wasn't the Herman Munster laugh Fred?
I would never make such jokes, of course, but Nicole was always a good sport about it, and the Herman Munster laugh WAS hiliarious.
Rememeber when Nicole went into the bathroom with Robin so that she could see what was going on downstairs? :D
I don't get Sirius...I miss Howard alot. :(
Nicole is/was a woman btw. She's quite a character! One of the biggest FBBs ever! :o

Well you learn something new every day.
Thanks for that, Hedge. I won't ask how you knew that. :-\

I agree, she belongs in the circus. Female bodybuilding is a terrible product anyway, figure is where its at.

I was referring to Nicole Bass, not you. You know that female BBing is a freak show anyway. Women should look like women, and this has nothing to do with you :P

This is personal opinion and there are tons of them and you know what they say about em.
I think its pretty cool how someone (female or male) might wanna be different than the masses and express themselves in a unique way, better than being like the average person IMO
Just because a woman has muscles does not make her any less of a woman and why do they have to fit into some preconceived mold of what they should be like? Some men are threatened by this I feel. Personally I think many of them are very sexy and feminine, but thats me.
Hey its not your cup of tea, thats cool, its not for everybody.

I just said it is a terrible product. Look at how many people watch beauty contests on network television and look at how many people watch female bodybuilding. In the real world hardly anyone gives a fuck about bodybuilding shows in general, let alone female bodybuilders who look like men. If it were a better product, it would be more popular. As it stands it needs a major overhaul, starting with drug testing imo, to appeal to a wider audience.

Yes totally agree not many people at all are into it and BB will always be a niche sport. But I think its better that way then it can stay true to its form. I dont think the average guy wants to see men on stage posing in a thong. BB IMO is really pretty boring as far as the night show goes.
I do think the prejudgings are kind of cool though cause thats where everyone goes head to head and I have seen it get heated, its the sport of the whole thing other than the training that goes into it. I really think the prejuding should be the show. Will admit unless there is someone I know in the show who Im supporting I get bored to tears at the night shows.

I concur that drug testing would help appeal to a wider audience, which would then equate to increased opportunities for the women so it would benefit us as a group.
If one compares the state of US female BB, to some other nations that test, the popularity and acceptance levels are totally different, and I do think the testing and more feminine appearance contributes to this.

Its BB your supposed to be the biggest freak you can be.......whatever someone's interpretation of that may be.
Otherwise its just another beauty contest IMO

It is really hard to have this type of discussion on here because about 20% of the posters on here are schmoes, where as in real life, maybe one out of 10,000 people are into the muscular, manly looking female. Most guys do not like their women to look like men and it shows in attendance to the shows. I often wonder how popular female bodybuilding would have become if the women had stayed looking like Rachel Mclish instead of Nicole Bass.

Women should always strive to look like women, you can build a great physique without looking like a freak.

You are wrong if you consider Nicole Bass to be a fair representation of modern day FBB anyway. She's the extreme in an already extreme "sport"...she's the second largest FBB pretty much ever I think. She doesn't care about promoting or improving FBB....she's a character and she always has been, and that's where she makes her money. If you think her look represents the current state of FBB right now, then you don't know anything about FBB.
There are alot of FBBs who are striving for a more feminine and "marketable" look (whatever that means in a "sport" that isn't marketable anyway ::))...and several of them post on this board. I think that most FBBs would agree that a good first step would be to get some respect for their accomplishments in the "sport"...and maybe recognition that there are some women with muscle out there who still look very much like women................... ........................ ....................just really hot ones. ;D

How do you propose they earn that respect? I think drug testing is the best way to earn the general publics respect personally.

Then you must support drug testing for men's BB too, if it's all about respect.

I don't care about mens BBing. Like I watch a bunch of half naked dudes on stage. ::) Womens BBing is something I would watch if they started to resemble women again. Btw, you mentioned respect. How do you propose they earn it?
-

I guess its all relative to what you think looks like a freak. When I see them I see a women, you see a man thats your preception.
-
Is it right to judge someone if they use drugs?
I've personally never judged anyone, whether they used AAS or recreational drugs.

True

Taking drugs is cheating in sports. Not to mention aas makes women look like dudes if taken over long periods of time. It is not about judging people, it's about drugs ruining the "sport".
-

The women who compete and are successful should earn respect for just that. Men's and women's BB should be equal on that level.
Just remember there are freaks and extremes in every sport and every walk of life. I really don't think it's a matter of drug testing as much as it is up to the judges to consistently reward the more feminine physiques over time. That's what will change the overall look and perception of FBB, and that will also change the degree and nature of drug use in the "sport."
-
then you don't know anything about FBB.
I agree, Danielson doesn't know anything about female bodybuilding.

Yes...
It's not a matter of judging or personal taste, it's simply that it's one or the other, can't gear up like crazy and look masculine then want to be marketable...It simply comes down to business. For female BB's to get more sponsorships/magazine coverage/prize money/shows marketability is a major concern. If no one minds the shrinking shows, low prize money, almost non-existent magazine coverage nowadays and doesn't mind if it continues to decline - well juice on.

She's the extreme in an already extreme "sport"...she's the second largest FBB pretty much ever I think.

Agree completely, and that's the thing. While no offence meant to Nicole, because she has been 'out there' I know people who *do* think she represents female bodybuilding, hence why I really do feel she is a total marketing nightmare for female bb in general.

See I have a problem with all this talk about someone should look more like this or that. Like there should be some standard or clone that everyone should look like, to be "marketable" Marketable to what? Like there is a huge group of people out there saying "if those women just looked a little more like Barbie I would start going to the shows and watching it on TV" If someone wants to model and that is their goal than yeah that bikini look is what sells.
But I find it funny that in a sport where you should have the freedom to express yourself how ever you see fit you get ridiculed for doing it. Or told you should look more like "this" Everyone who does BB represents it and they are all different, thats what makes it cool IMO.

Luv, I luv your perspective! :-*
I agree with you in that I don't think that most FBBs are in it for the money or to be "marketable"...I think they are in it for some of the reasons you mentioned, including the love of the "sport," the mental and physical challenges, and the ability to express themselves uniquely.
I personally prefer a more feminine "package" on a FBB, but it is a subjective sport, and I think it's up to the judges to influence the direction of the sport. Either way, FBBs will always look "different" and will never be considered overly "marketable" in mainstream society...but that's not necessarily a bad thing. That's bodybuilding. 8)

I respect your opinion. I should have just stated that my opinion was that women BBers should not use hormones and leave it at that. Whether or not it would make the sport grow or become more respectable is just speculation. For the record, I am not talking about any of the girls who I have seen post on here(sans Buffgoddess), I am referring mainly to the huge women whose images are posted here once in a while. I just prefer a less masculine physique and it is my guess that most men do as well. But that is only one white mans opinion. :)

Didn't she have some recent health problems or something along those lines? She definately was huge. I wonder how she would fair against the Iris Kyle's and the Yaxani's of the world.

Personally I think all kinds of looks can be attractive for woman.

Yes, I always train my arms in a pair of 5 inch platform heels! That way, I can get a little extra calf work in! ;D
I personally prefer the more feminine type of female bodybuilders to, but what's feminine to my taste, can be to much for anyone else.
Some of the bigger female bodybuilders I appreciate as well.

A few weeks ago, former WWE performer Nicole Bass called into Howard Stern's show begging him to give her $900 to keep her husband, Robert Fuchs, from going to jail. Stern initially refused because if he gave her money, then "a million other wackos" would call in with sob stories begging him for money. Stern's stylist contributed $300, and another caller pledged $300 to Bass. Stern gave in and ponied up the final $300 and last Tuesday, Bass took care of her husband's jail problem. Later on, Stern said that Bass told him she was determined to start a new life. Stern said that he got her a job as a personal trainer last year, but quit. Stern said that she's now doing those 900-line phone chats with people.
-
Why was her husband going to go to jail??
-
Nicole's problem is simple... she's not LIKEABLE.
She wrestled briefly... sucked... She's not overly appealing in the face (and I don't care what you say, you can have any body you want to, but if you have a fucked up grill, you are just ugh!)
Tack that on to having no skillz aside from craptastic pr0n and you've got a financial disaster in the making.
