I guess you can see it that way. Would you say Jason Blaha is just trolling as well, that his BS is just in the "spirit of the internet"?
I mean Vince actually got on stage several times as a "bodybuilder", that's some hardcore trolling.
Blaha is of a different caliber. Blaha is claiming some extraordinary things, such as being a mercenary, special OPs, etc, etc, etc. I actually don't think Blaha is trolling. I think he has some unresolved issues that propel him to say the things he does.
What is goodrum claiming? That he moved from Sylva, NC to Greenville and is working at Verizon. That's not too outlandish. Many of his other claims may be a little exaggerated, but that's nothing compared to asserting that you were a mercenary (Blaha).
Yes, Goodrum got on stage, but he never claimed he was going to win the Mr. O. He never stated that he was the best bodybuilder of all time. He just got up on stage.
And, really, at the end of the day, Goodrum's claims affect no one. They have no influence on you or me. So, who cares.
