Title: Shawn Rhoden - Why is he not more popular?
Post by: Julio Ceasar on February 17, 2017, 10:26:40 PM
2x runner up or even more at the Mr O?

Yet no one gives a shit about him...how is that? Dude have some great structure...but...no details, no separation in them arms...dude look great from distance, but close up pictures he actually haven't got any details...

Where does he get money from? Runner up price money, is that enough? Some contract with supplement company?

He was gifted second this year. Thats two years in a row he showed up to the o with distension. Good quads but upper body is average

Looks totally uninspiring but the "league' sucks these days anyways....why is there so much nostalgia for the 90's? Lots of legit reasons.

The droopy-eyed fellow got a gift last year at the Olympia in terms of placing.

He's gifted, but lacks the charisma and his posing routines are gay

You know things are very bad when very few people even remember who got second at last year's Olympia.

Cedric McMillan is the same way.  As charismatic as Cancer.

In this day and age of social media personality is the most important thing because people want to be entertained, that is why kali muscle and rich piana got so big even though they are not pro bodybuilders, even if you win contests and you are boring you wont get a huge following.

I think it just depends on what you're looking for, solid information about training, nutrition, etc or simply entertainment. Most folks choose the latter, so I'm not surprised about the featured Youtube stars on Gen Iron.

He has the followers, but keeps quiet and keeps on building his physique.... like Dorian was... quiet at the time.

523K follower...

Not sure followers mean much of anything if you look at Instagram as a whole tho... Some things are just fun to keep on the Instagram feed to see, but it doesn't translate into sales.

He has no real personality.

Sure his physique is great. He needs a better back and conditioning, but he doesn't have a standout personality. He's too laid back. He's a go with the flow kind of guy.

Who has the best personality in your opinion?

No "wow" factor. At this level it's about being a freak. When Ramy, Roelly, Dex, prime Wolf, and yes, even Phil, your eyes open up and do a double take.

The fact that Rhoden always looks like he's about to take a nap doesn't really add to the excitement

yes very little separation between his ass cheeks. (no homo)

I was listening to Rx on youtube w/ Dave about the whole supplement industry.

Apparently Shawn has a quota that must be met in order to sign with a company...

And apparently his price tag doesn't seem worth it because he his Runner Up Mr. O

If he swallowed his pride, and took a deal of a little lesser value and put the work in to boost sales.. I'm sure he will meet his quota within a year or 2

its all up to him.

Would love to see what the guys at MD get paid for posting and removing only things that fit their agenda (or agree with their beliefs)

This is how I feel about Kia green

Phantom of the opera mask has to go - his sponsors  should just make him 86 that shit

Too late, and Kai runs his own business now. He is the main Sponsor of his products.

Post by: Jamaal on February 25, 2017, 09:35:00 AM
Kai needs to break out of whatever new mold he has formed into. Get back into shows. The acting can be there after your prime years are fading. Why not give one last run for winning the Sandow, as it seemed you were so passionate about in the MD and Flex videos not too many years ago?

Because he is shit and undeserving of praise. He was gifted with that 2nd place winning and far from deserving of it. He should not have been in the top 6 or even the top 10 at the 2016 Mr. O.

Cause he's bright enough to at least realise that politics is against him all the way
