Title: Why No more guest Celeb MC's at the Mr. Olympia?
Post by: Parker on March 22, 2011, 01:41:59 PM
Back in 98, they had Sinbad (okay he hasn't been relevant since A Diff World, but he is a funny comedian), the they had Triple H, which I thought was good---make the connection between WWE (although that WBF debacle still leaves a bad taste in the IFBB's mouth)...
So, why no more? Was it too expensive to pay them? Yeah, like Muscletech or Gaspari can't cough up the dough to provide that, or the ones who put on the show...It would be good PR...

They could get Shannon Sharpe or Marcus Allen, both of them enjoy bbing and were at several bbing shows...even Halle Berry has been to a couple shows--bur she commands a hefty price...
Celeb MCs can lend a certain mainstream voice, and help racket down the spiraling out of control looking physiques....because, like kids, if the world is watching, you are on your best behavior.

Carvey was funny, maybe Jimmy Kimmel would be a good candidate.

Seems like they can get the C and D listers. And if you have ever seen Dana Carvey on Leno recently (the past couple yrs---he's a strange fellow).

Who would want to be associated with this sport? Especially how it has become.....

Which is exactly what a Celeb MC can bring to light---as I said, added exposure puts one on their best behavior, following their own guidelines...think about it Triple H or The Rock MCing, production would be on point, so would the physiques...

Wonder if they could do a Anniversary Mr. O and have Arnold MC and do commentary---what he really thinks of the bbers...
