Taken from RX Muscle
By now most of you have probably heard the rumblings about a new master's invitational show, IFBB World Masters Championship, set to take place on December 10, 2011 (http://www.jarkasgym.com). When I first heard about it, I was admittedly skeptical. In the last year or so I've seen and heard about so many potential contests in places such as Dubai, Japan, Germany, etc... that were canceled for some unknown reason. . . that whenever I hear about a new big show with tons of prize money, doubt is the first emotion to cross my doubting mind.
After listening to Jarka (the contest promoter) on HEAVY MUSCLE RADIO (http://www.rxmuscle.com/hmr-radio-show/2180-jefftheproducer-hmr.html), where she talked of her contest promotion prowess back in her home country of Czechoslovakia (she was named 1998 Promoter of the Year by Ironman Magazine), I started to believe that this contest might actually happen. That "might happen" changed to a "good possibility" when I saw the contest listed in the 2011 IFBB Pro Schedule and heard that NPC President, Jim Manion, was even asking certain masters-elligible Pro competitors if they were planning on doing the show.
I had the good fortune of running into Jarka at the 2010 IFBB Ft. Lauderdale Cup this past weekend, and I was able to extract the scoop direct from the source. She broke the news to Dave Palumbo and I that she had procured, in writing, a commitment from Ronnie "The Big Nasty" Coleman that he'll be doing the show. She also informed us that "The Shadow", Dorian Yates, has agreed to guest pose for a fee. She also mentioned she had solid confirmation from Samir Bannout, Dexter Jackson, Chris Cormier, Tony Pearson and more. I contacted
Cormier tonight to get confirmation, and he told me he will, in-fact, be competing come December 10th, and that it'll be his final show before he retires into the sunset.
The fact that Jarka has confirmed these athletes and has the IFBB Pro League behind her bodes very well for the chances this contest will indeed take place. Personally, I hope she succeeds in bringing some of the legends back to the stage. I've never seen Dorian Yates posing live, and I'd love to see Cormier and Ronnie battle it out just one more time!

I'll go out on a limb and predict that Dexter wins. Really, what's the point of Bannout and Pearson competing again?

But thats a little of the Mystique....
Ronnie - gone 4 yrs
Samir - gone 20
Tony - gone 15 and just resurfaced
Should also reach out to Strydom, Chick ;D, and a few others....
-
i couldnt imagine a show i woudl rather see,...........i really hope it comes to fruition
also, while its unfair to penalize dexter jackson for his success and graceful aging, and tell him he cant compete................. ..i dont see why he NEEDS to do this as he is still a top olympia guy............she was claiming like over 200,000K for the show winner........and dexter, if he competed, would almost be guaranteed to win............his participation, or other currently competing pros in their 40s like tony freeman or troy alves...........might hurt the prospect of older legends competing
and also also...........that "Jarka" sounds like a fast talking scam artist........never trust a person with one name........i wouldnt be suprised if all that she says will happen does not happen
-
If there's an over 50, it'd be nice to see Haney compete.

Vince Taylor.

Chic,
If you decide to compete. You should do it all naturally ( well with your hrt dose of course, dont want u going limp) to see if drugs really are "just the finishing touch" like you say they are.
-
In what capacity?
Space suit or scuba gear. Possibly a suit of armor. Hard to top the Capt'n Crunch outfit though.

Awesome....you do realize I never said that, right?

As the list continues to grow, I already am looking forward to this show more than the Olympia....ha, ha, ha, ha...
This is the show I was asking about a couple weeks ago...
-
I can already see a 100 page thread comparing post retirement Ronnie to post retirement Dorian...They'll both look like shadows of themselves but that won't stop ND and Hulkster...I can't wait...lol
-
I'm gunning for Samir
-

Id go in look for it, but im pretty sure you went back and deleted all evidence of it.
Plus I dont want to waste my time on something that not only I, but plenty of other people KNOW that you've said.
The only delusionalite that believes you didnt say it, is you Bob!

Pearson looks almost as good as he ever did at 50 +.
-
Bob, although many of us would love to see competing, we all know you will be bringing down the house with laying down the verbal baggage
Be interesting to see the fine lines of competitors eligibility
We could have the current breed:
Dex (already stated)
Freeman
Gunter
Alves
Darrem
Mixed with guys of yesteryear......I guess only time will tell if this gets off the ground...
Quick.....someone send an email to Flex, Shawn and Levrone...time to start training!
-
Good luck Bob. It will be an interesting show for sure.

Nothing has needed to be deleted, as it was never said...but knock yourself out.
The "Emperor has new clothes" should be the mantra on this site....
-
It should only be open to guys who haven't competed past 2000. There's no excitement in seeing Dexter, Troy, Gunther, Freeman, etc.

it shouldn't be open to 3rd-4th tier pros like Chick.

Don't count Milos Sarcev out! >:(

who is(was) troy ?

Being how some great Bodybuilders have now matured into their late 40's and 50's, over 40 and even over 50 classes could be fully loaded! Masters classes at all levels are very strong nowadays, not weak as in years past. To see legends of the past re-emerge again would be very interesting. I would like to see the Master's Olympia come back.
-
Master's shows should be 50 to qualify. 40 is too young.

Big call with Ronnie in it. ;)

Chickster was totally tweaked at the last show. He could more than hold his own here, no doubt.
Great shit. Looking forward to it.
This is one of the more exciting things to happen in BB lately.

Don't be such a fool..... Chick was 6th tier at best.
