Title: 2009 Ironman - Silvio Samuel - I was wrong

Ok, I was wrong in my prediction saying that Moe Elmoussawi was going to beat Silvio here at the 2009 Ironman Pro.  But it was close.  Silvio looked great in the prejudging, but Moe did battle for redemption in the finals, with the 4th and final round decided by one point only going to Silvio. Still, Silvio let it be known to me that how could I not have chosen him going into the contest. After all, in the last two contests before the Ironman, Silvio did beat Moe. My lecture backstage and me begging forgiveness for my ‘wrong’ prediction was just.

(http://www.getbig.com/headlines/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/silvio4392.jpg)

So will these two battle again? Yes, they will, for in six weeks, both of these competitors will meet again at the 2009 Arnold Classic. Moe insists that he can only get better, and can  beat Silvio. Of course, at that contest, there are many other top competitors who will vie for the top positions (Victor Martinez, Kai Greene), but for the rumble between these two in the war of words, it will another rematch.

(http://www.getbig.com/headlines/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/silvio4573.jpg)

Congratulations to Silvio for being the 2009 Ironman winner, and receiving a very nice check, which Mr. John Balik wrote right on the spot backstage! For complete scorecard results, please go to:

Another troubling view into BBing.

Just as Get Bigs hero, Bob Chick, has lied about his seedy dealing in the Mirage Hotel in '93 and countless other BBers who have to suck cock and fondle hold balls while dressed in leather thongs, there is really no new money in the sport. Even the "Athletes Rep" has been engorged by BBing money, but the Iron Man winnings has only gone up 5k in 20 years! How can this stand? Bob Chick and the other memebers of his cabal who make their money off of the shattered bodies, broken dreams and melted organs, must be called to the carpet and be made to answer for their crimes.

Don Long is still juicking and pumping himself full of drugs even with his dialysis and new kidney, ab Asian BBer is still competing even after a sever heart surgery...the list goes on. Where is Bob Chick telling these idiots that they aren't fit to step on stage? Why isn't he and the IFBB cabal looking after those BBers who make them so much money?

Yet Chick knows this and comes on Get Big to drop these words of wisdom: "They are grown men who make their own decision", nice Chick, way to hide behind tired words and shed any responsibilty you may have been given by becoming "Athletes Rep". But hey, you're getting yours so who the fuck cares if these competitiors drops dead, you already have your money and your masters still pull the strings.

Of course Chick will probably respond with some smart aleck comment that doesn't provide any answers or insight. After which this will be deleted.

Shamless.

Prize money equates with people in the audience, and more.  I wish it can be more, but you need the sponsors to ante up more, which isnt easy. Bodybuilders can make a lot of money via supplement, magazine and other sponsorships too, which they do.  It is called a business.

Get off your rocker. You are worse than a priest in heat. Like any sport, bodybuilding is a business, and a good competitor can make money from a myriad of ways, but you seem to think just the worst ways. Very few competitors do that. Stop wishing now.

It is Don's choice as to what do to. I don't agree with it, but it is his choice. He just got married, seems very happy in what he is doing.   I always tell skydivers that they are really stupid from jumping out of a plane because they may get hurt or die, but that doesnt stop them.

Well, Chick does the job as well as he can. He represents the athletes. Get that into your head. If an athlete wants something, they can call Bob and he will represent them. If they don't, he won't.  He only can do as much as he can.  It is a non-paying job, and very thankless, I no that. Hell, if someone wants to be the athlete's rep, let them. But I haven't seen another comeptitor willing to do that.

Fair Enough.

But this is a man who had a new kidney given to him and is on dialysis etc. I could see you saying this if he was just pumping himself full of drugs on his own time with new delsuions of competing. But this is a sick man with a new kidney, why doesn't the IFBB take the responsible route and tell him "Listen, you can pump yourself up as much as you want but you will not step up on our stage in your medical condition" that would be the smartest thing the organization could do. BBing image is pretty loopy, but having a man with a new kidney and was/is very sick, he should not be able to get up on stage. Plus he looks like crap and he looks sick.

If he steps up on stage and passes out or dies etc, that doesn't do a very positive job of promoting BBing.

making up excuses just like chick and the ifbb will... and ron knows better then to say the gay for pay isnt as bad as people claim.. BB'ing is a cult, full of shallow, insecure, ego maniacs drugged up on everything from test to cocaine, you get a bunch of nympho men and women (on mens hormones) coked,ghb'd, opiated'd all the time posing ,wrestling, fucking, whatever.... for there next free drug bill LOL... At least im honest with myself and to others. IF someone knew even a fraction of the things that go on and still wanted to compete then ok...but i see a ton come in and get duped, raped(bascially), caught of guard, and its usually too late. My opinion of course...and what i have seen with my own eyes over 20 years. Not to mention the guys i have buried in this sport.

Yes, the multimillion dollar golf game in which amatuers spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on little sticks to hit a ball to nowhere for three hours. But since many people play it, and it is a mainstream sport which attracts millions of people, they can afford to give higher prize money.  

Please, if you would like to sponsor a contest, and give extra money, please call me, that can be arranged.

ouch!! didn't mean to strike a nerve there Ron, just stating a fact. are saying the people in charge aren't profitting enough to pay more prize money?

years ago Arnold wanted to raise the prize money at his show and the IFBB told him he can't excede the Olympia prize money. he said to raise the Olympia then, and they said they don't have to, the athletes will show up anyway. that is when he added the Hummer to the winner.

Sylvio looks amazing, i cannot beleive how he can keep doing 6+ show a year and look phenominal in each one.  I think he will take some time off after this years Olympia to put some more size on.
15K not too bad of a payday for doing what you love.  I'm sure his supplement company added in some coin for the win too.  Not many people are making money in this economy, I would be thrilled if I got a check for 15K.

this shows u how fucked up the judging in the IFBB is, how was moes bloated, under conditioned physqiue only 1 pt behind silvio's unbelievably conditioned and more balanced body.

the judging is a sham and a disgrace, makes me never want to go see a show again.

Silvio scored a total of 26 to Me's 41....it was pretty clear cut that Silvio won.

ONLY the 4th round was decided by 1 pt....which is misleading, because all it says was they thought Silvio was first and Moe was second in the posedown...

Rockel was better in the morning, and smoothing out at night....that said, he WAS in the "mix", and should/ could have been 2nd in my opinion

oh ok, that makes more sense. i thought ron meant that after the fourth round moe was only behind silivio by a pt.

And bob what was the deal with no one coming in this show in shape. Silvio was in shape, hide was in shape, and mo bannout ( minus calves ) was shredded to the bone.

but other than that everyone else was soft or watery, or bloated, or just plain fat and needed 3-5 more weeks of dieting...whats up with that bob??

Should u address this at the next athletes meeting, that they are professionals and need to show up atleast in shape and without implants in their calves.

  Good point.

SUCKMYMUSCLE

Hey SUCKMYMUSCLE, where have you been!  Bro, lets train this week brother.  It seems like you disappeared on the last couple posts.   Let me know when you can make it bro.  Quit backing out.

20K to prep a show, you people know nothing about pricing of gear.  That is absolutely hilarious, 20K maybe for all year with everything and thats even high.

he looked awesome in that shot!

but it was from the 08' ironman.

heres a pic from 09. the striations in his quads are gone, his waist is wider and he's much less conditioned.

I agree, the dude is a monster, quads are huge and lats are thick too.  Finished 10 at the Olympia that means a solid physique.

Another troubling view into BBing.

Just as Get Bigs hero, Bob Chick, has lied about his seedy dealing in the Mirage Hotel in '93 and countless other BBers who have to suck cock and fondle hold balls while dressed in leather thongs, there is really no new money in the sport. Even the "Athletes Rep" has been engorged by BBing money, but the Iron Man winnings has only gone up 5k in 20 years! How can this stand? Bob Chick and the other memebers of his cabal who make their money off of the shattered bodies, broken dreams and melted organs, must be called to the carpet and be made to answer for their crimes.

Don Long is still juicking and pumping himself full of drugs even with his dialysis and new kidney, ab Asian BBer is still competing even after a sever heart surgery...the list goes on. Where is Bob Chick telling these idiots that they aren't fit to step on stage? Why isn't he and the IFBB cabal looking after those BBers who make them so much money?

Yet Chick knows this and comes on Get Big to drop these words of wisdom: "They are grown men who make their own decision", nice Chick, way to hide behind tired words and shed any responsibilty you may have been given by becoming "Athletes Rep". But hey, you're getting yours so who the fuck cares if these competitiors drops dead, you already have your money and your masters still pull the strings.

Of course Chick will probably respond with some smart aleck comment that doesn't provide any answers or insight. After which this will be deleted.

Shamless.

Ok, I was wrong in my prediction saying that Moe Elmoussawi was going to beat Silvio here at the 2009 Ironman Pro.  But it was close.  Silvio looked great in the prejudging, but Moe did battle for redemption in the finals, with the 4th and final round decided by one point only going to Silvio. Still, Silvio let it be known to me that how could I not have chosen him going into the contest. After all, in the last two contests before the Ironman, Silvio did beat Moe. My lecture backstage and me begging forgiveness for my ‘wrong’ prediction was just.

So will these two battle again? Yes, they will, for in six weeks, both of these competitors will meet again at the 2009 Arnold Classic. Moe insists that he can only get better, and can  beat Silvio. Of course, at that contest, there are many other top competitors who will vie for the top positions (Victor Martinez, Kai Greene), but for the rumble between these two in the war of words, it will another rematch.

Congratulations to Silvio for being the 2009 Ironman winner, and receiving a very nice check, which Mr. John Balik wrote right on the spot backstage! For complete scorecard results, please go to:

Your credability is immediately shot to hell when you write about blatent untruths such as this alleged "Mirage Hotel" bullshit....you seem to be obsessed with something that never happened....unlike your gay fantasies....I've never been involved in any shady business, or any other thing you write about....neither has the overwhelming majority of the other pro bodybuilders.

The IM purse has only gone up 5K in 20 years, which I think is a disgrace....that said, it's not my call as to whether or not the promoter decides to increase the purse of the show....but it eventually catche up with them as quality competitors will continue to dwindle away and the show becomes less and less prestigious over time...

As for "hiding behind any words"....I dont have to. Yes, they are grown men, and profesionals at that...and are responsible for their own choices in life....it's not up to me to dicate who competes and for what reasons...


BTW...I chose to leave your post up for the same reason I leave Basile's posts up....it exposes you for the idiot that you are, and continue to be.

With the rate of inflation the top prize today is worth less than the $10,000 in 1989 :-X

Pathetic.

Fair Enough.

But this is a man who had a new kidney given to him and is on dialysis etc. I could see you saying this if he was just pumping himself full of drugs on his own time with new delsuions of competing. But this is a sick man with a new kidney, why doesn't the IFBB take the responsible route and tell him "Listen, you can pump yourself up as much as you want but you will not step up on our stage in your medical condition" that would be the smartest thing the organization could do. BBing image is pretty loopy, but having a man with a new kidney and was/is very sick, he should not be able to get up on stage. Plus he looks like crap and he looks sick.

If he steps up on stage and passes out or dies etc, that doesn't do a very positive job of promoting BBing.

That's a good point. I wonder if the IFBB realize this? What would be the consequences? The media is jumping on the subject and the steroid discussion will continue...

JesusChrist, at least get the facts straight....

He doesnt have a NEW kidney AND he's on dialysis.....he had a kidney transplant, it didnt take, because it DIDNT take and his body rejected it....he has to be on dialysis......GET IT?


He's in no jeopardy of causing harm to his kidneys as HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY....
