Please guys, give the man some respect. Being 33 i was fortunated to follow his carreer. Not upclose because living in Holland the only way to meet the pro's upclose was to visit the FIBO in Germany. Let me tell you, these guys are tru pro's. And for Ray, this man is Bodybuilding Royalty, beeing in the top 3 of all pro's EVER! That man has a carreer we only can dream of. I suggest to you all, stop dreaming, stop putting man like him down to look better yourself. Ray was and still is a SELFMADE MAN, respect that en all good to him, he made his dream come true, don't blame him for it...
Ray, good luck too you and your family!! In my book you keep kicking a..!

He is bodybuilding royalty but I'm sure had he competed in other contest besides the Olympia things might have been different.  He won two Arnold Classics (I'll even give him the one had had taken from him) and then all his Olympia placings. He has one of the best physiques of all time in my opinion but hell, if you do one show a year you better.

Rocket,

Just for your information, i'm not a rookie, been on this board when it opend its gates... (and not always as a guest.... HUGE, Food4UrMind, too name a few names i posted under).
The reason that i don't post often is this one...
All you people have nothing important to say, i even wonder why the pro's even consider react on all those harrasments.
It is getting less and less that there is any form of real discussion on this boards, most of you just think that you know all about this game just by making statements that are actually based on nothing...

Respect the ones that made it possible even to discuss this sport. And i mean real respect, not just the empty word you use everytime it comes in handy....

Holland

p.s. maybe i've missed "the vibe" on this page, what i didn't miss is the "undertone" in some remarks, it says a lot of the people who post them.

Fair enough.  i would judge that you are not a regular listener though or you would not be saying that people were being unnecessarily critical of shawn.  The truth is almost everybody here is just talking shit, like shawn does often. 

If you want to see bodybuilding royalty do the same find any thread where shawn ray has posted in that mentions kamali :)  You'll see not even "the man himself" takes this stuff seriously.

Hope that helps

I am not here to judge people who use Steroids, or Kill People, that is not my place.
That being said, I know you like stirring the pot, it is why I come here ;D
Tamali said he is the King, so I post his baby picture and his boy gets his panties in a bunch, big deal! I love the guy, and he is so photogenic! :o
The Contest sells it's self. The Pro's compete for Titles, Qualifications and Prize Money, the fans dont care about that stuff, they want to see a good show and be intertained! 8)
So, regardless of who's in or who's not, the Prize Money still reflects the Number 3 Total Prize Money being given out in 2006 and the Athletes who want it will come to Denver to take it home with them including the $10,000 Best Presentation Award for basically a 2-3min Posing Routine!
These names ring a bell:
Johnny Jackson
Darrem Charles
Phil Heath
Branch Warren
Vince Taylor
Bill Wilmore
Garrett Downing
David Henry
Mohammed Mustafa

Do I need to go on.......... :-\

Why?????? So people can KNOW FOR SURE if it's worth buying a ticket to actually see quality people compete.  Showing people on a poster and listing names without anyone knowing if they are contrctualy obligated is not good business. Sounds like the rumors are true.  ???

A little off topic

Shawn, I admire and respect the hard work that you have put into BB. I just got a copy of a Final Countdown and became a fan. I know that it is like 8 years old, but better late than never. 

At the end of Final Countdown you said that the O was heading in a direction of mass monsters.  You were right. With that said guys like Branch, JJ who are the not the biggest get over looked big time (just like you).   

Maybe it is me but there is no way that Cutler should be placing higher than those guys, he is a BOX.

Good luck with everything!
Title: Re: Shawn Ray: Getting back in shape for a show?

As for the Athletes and Contracts, that will be released closer to the show and after the Ironman, Arnold & Australia.
Look for a detailed list around April!
As for Cutler, what's not to like, he won the Best Wheels Contest at the O!

I see the bi-polar 240 is back.

Why not Denver? If you've ever been to Denver in May, seen the new convention center, spent any time in downtown Denver then it's a no brainer.

Every show has competitors that give their intent to compete, sign contracts but that doesn't mean they will show up, right Lee? The people you see on the ad are expected to compete but one thing is for certain, you will see a very well run show on the NPC and IFBB side of things.

240 - I'll buy your plane ticket to Denver if you sit at a table and let people punch you in the face like you offered. Whatta ya say bro?

Shawn knows the game.  Every attack I make gives him the opportunity to respond with five posts about his show.  Everyone here knows I'm just pushing buttons to keep things interesting, and everyone I've worked with that i'm not a spaz in real life.  It's just more fun to be that way on the boards.

Shawn, Is that 72K for the winner or total money distributed?  From what I am seeing BB is not lucrative unless you are one of the top dogs.

I am picking Johnnie Jackson, it is time for him to make a break through.

Shawn, why don't you call for testing at your own contest, the Colorado Pro?
You'll put your name and face on a contest, but won't use this positional power to change things for the better?

Things WONT be better with testing. wake up ! If they test the athletes they will look like shit and nobody will want to pay for that

240 back bashing pros, he's on a roll today, first lee priest, now shawn
is there any others online that he can have a go at? this is the "brand new" 240  ::)
or maybe history repeats itself, which means a few months from now, he will have another meltdown, in that case keep doing what you're doing
cause that was some funny shit :)

Robert just needs to get his licks in, this is his way.

Love him or hate him, this is his eternal means.

Don't hate the boy, this is all he knows.

He is what we call a "Set tripper".

Shawn was the first one that I know of that put out a great training video.   The ones before him showed champs demonstrating exercises.  Who wants to pay for that.  The other tapes that I saw prior to Shawn Ray showed champs cheating and doing half reps to handle poundages they could never use for real.  Shawn form was quite good but not perfect.  Who is?  He lifted some respectable weights and he let you see that he is a hard core trainer.  I remember on the tape his rock bottom 500lbs squats on the forth set.  I know 30 guys will say they can squat 500 for reps but how deep do you really go? A legal power lifting squat is a half squat in my book and most bodybuilders don't even go that deep.  On the tape he uses 315 in the bench after doing inclines and flys.  I don't know about you but after doing 4 sets of flys  my bench is extremely weak.

He is bodybuilding royalty but I'm sure had he competed in other contest besides the Olympia things might have been different.  He won two Arnold Classics (I'll even give him the one had had taken from him) and then all his Olympia placings. He has one of the best physiques of all time in my opinion but hell, if you do one show a year you better.

100% agreed Wiggs....Shawn lost some contests due to politics..he wasn't well liked in the sport because he was a pretty boy and a big mouth plus had a very nice contract with Weider....guys were really jealous of him...plus he had lots of vagina....

And just think, all he had to do was pay a couple grand to lawyer up and the IFBB would have backed down. Ray just turtled and gave up that check.

Yeah, I'm just stirring the pot, of course.  However it is hypocritical to play the religion card all the time, then earn money off an event shrouded in the very evils you criticize.

Shawn, since you've said steroids are a sin, will you be prohibiting athletes at the Colorado Pro from using steroids?
Or does the cross only count when the wallet is not in play?


never a truer word spoken.. in all aspects of life, not just bb and sports in general

Jeez bumping threads this brings back memories from getbig. Shawn was undoubtedly top20 ever, but it used to make me cringe when him and kamali used to talk about 'going to the gym to wage war on the iron' etc. Wot the fuck I ask u? 2 geared up freaks with absoloutly no grasp on the real world - the same as all bodybuilders! Drunken meltdown
