Title: Have the Olympia prize checks cleared yet?
Post by: Tre on October 10, 2006, 01:03:01 PM: Just wondering.

With all the talk about the money from the Colorado and NOC events, I wondered whether the Vegas dudes and dudettes had gotten their jack yet.

Post by: Tre on October 11, 2006, 09:03:03 AM: What should the spin be? They must be waiting for drug test results.

Or even better...they want to do all the accounting to determine whether some competitors might actually be eligible for bonus pay (a last-minute revenue-sharing plan that they threw together, eh). They don't want to pay anyone until the bonuses are sorted out. Yeah, that's it.

Post by: onlyme on October 12, 2006, 11:06:12 AM: Don't use FedEx they will be late ;D I liked how Wayne just wire transfered the money to the winners. It's great that the IFBB waited till after the drug test. It nice to see not one of the winners took steroids. BB is cleaning up

Really who are your customers. You aren't counting the guys you massage are you. They don't count. And Wayne has the shirts and are sending them out to anyone who wants one. Just email him. I posted it the next day or so.

Not as much as before very busy doing other stuff. That is why I can pick and chose what I want to do and you have only one direction and one option. Stick with it boy one day you might become a promoter, doubt it but funnier things have happened. Oh and please tell us you didn't reccommend the same bank that handled your show to the Olympia folks. They may think you are working for the PDI.
