No one knows who that is/was.

There's probably no named competition recognizable to the general public beyond the Olympia and Arnold Classic. Between the two events, no one would even know who won after a few months aside from those seriously interested in bodybuilders.

The general public doesn't know him or Ferigino(sp?) from bodybuilding.

Worldwide it has to be NASSER EL SONBATY.  He is very famous throughout europe, middle east and asia.  Not so much in the USA.

USA it has to be either Chris Cook or Trey Brewer.

No, but most would know that he was a bodybuilder at some point.

personal names obviously arnold

as far as 'titles', Mr. Universe, Mr.America, and Mr.Olympia are all the same in the minds of the general public as 'a man/men with muscles'

You want to lease the title 'Mr. America!?' Ouch. How much can you devalue something that is already devalued?

Seriously.  I thought this was what the thread was about.

I'd go for Mr. Universe though if you are looking to name a contest.  It does appear in the vernacular sometimes. e.g. Who does he think he is, Mr. Universe?

Well someone should register the Mr. america mark in class 025 and grab the t-shirt class.  Then they can lease that to you.  Also, I think that was a waste of $325 filing fee

Here ya go.

Sell, lease, or license "Mr America" to those already promoting the Arnold so they can run a natural show on stage along with other events going on that weekend. Everything imaginable (schmoes, booths, fitness hoes, needle dicks who did pre-expo prep hoping to peak that weekend, food) will already be in place...... there's nothing to sell and minimal promotion involved.
 
It would be a very politically correct way to make some nice money promote natural bodybuilding.

All you'd really have to handle is the merchandising and prejudging. Merchandising could be farmed out to someone experienced and pre-judging spots could be raffled off to schmoes who'll be attending anyways. You could literally have them paying you to look at oiled men in thongs!!!

I'd appreciate a new Rolex stainless steel Daytona as thanks. The gold is a bit showy for someone with plain tastes, like me. And don't even think about sending some faulex off the street, my daughter's godfather is a jeweler. :)

Odd as it may seem/read: watches never about time, for me. I like having one thing on that will always be perfect no matter what. Now I wear the sub but sort of regret selling the Daylight even though it hadn't been regularly worn for two years. :'(

Intreastly enough since I posted I 've had some intreast from sponcers and from a big shot in real estate.
Now I have no urge to promote again but their are others out there who are.
Whether they want to do mens fitness or bodybuilding I would insist on drug testing.

You must have missed the line in an above post explaining a faulex will not do. :)

Why would someone wear a fake watch anyways?

Better a real Timex than a fake Rolex.

Promoting a new, freestanding show would probably take too many resources and be hit or miss. An expo show (though far less glamourous) could likely be pulled off and may cost something off the gross.

With all the great supplements at their disposal, I highly doubt you have to "drug test", Bob.  You have to remember that these guys have great genetics and the risk of ruining there reputations with drugs just mortifies these athletes.  Your worries about drugs are over.
