Sometimes I wonder why The Trainer's parents never pulled out.

They may have liked the idea of disturbing the universe

He came in small, was not where he wanted to be, even said he was lighter than normal in a video. He knew he was going to get trounced. I'm sure he and Meadows decided it best to place higher at an easier show.

He did pick up a new sponsor recently in addition to Animal/Universal.

Probably a wise call to pull out of the NY Pro. It is a DEEP lineup with a TON of dense freaky mass. AV is just not at the size he needed to be right now despite having great shape and aesthetics. He could have been beat by a lot of no-name dudes coming up the ranks. Someone like Daniel Toth appears to have him beat in thickness just about everywhere based on the pics I'm seeing (albeit not as aesthetic).

6th Place Toth

He's announced he's doing the Nordic Pro (aka Finland Pro) on Oct 11 and will have half the talent as the NY Pro. I wish AV was more competitive but its a smart move.

For example, here was last years Nordic Pro lineup:

1. Baitollah Abbaspour
2. Lionel Beyeke
3. Aliaksei Shabunia
4. Alexey Lesukov
5. Emiliano Delluomo
6. Daniele Seccarecci
7. Jeno Kiss
8. Mohamad Bannout
9. Jerry Ossi
10. Matthias Botthof
11. Alexandre Nataf
12. Mehdi Hatami
13. Jari Mentula

Weak.

Haha probably something to this. I believe he pulled out of the show about the same time Ramy decided to definitely enter it.

He came in small, was not where he wanted to be, even said he was lighter than normal in a video. He knew he was going to get trounced. I'm sure he and Meadows decided it best to place higher at an easier show.

Thanks for this, I think your reasons make total sense. I think this is probably it as opposed to health issues, etc..

I actually met a guy who used to do just that: Walked around the pump room or at the entrance to check the contenders and if he felt he had a shot he would enter the contest.
LMAO! Some guys have no pride... ::)

Yes. Competitions over here are very laid back. The level is very low.
Many years ago our 4 time national champ placed last at a british GP behind a bloofy Zack Khan.
There are very few competitors and everyone knows eachother.
Plus the promoter only wants money so he accepts last minute inscriptions.
