Cento is one of the best looking, best built, most marketable bodybuilders in the game.

He didn't take the ASC crown, but could grab a NY Pro title without blinking.

Not if Ramy is there. Not if Cedric is there but I agree, he is marketable..

Someone explains to me please : Cento was in prime nutrition? Blackstone labs? I don't understand the full story. Recently I saw him with Aaron and PJ in blackstone but I see people talking about prime nutrition.

Blackstone was/is their grey market supplement line, the one that the prohormones and others were sold under. Prime is the more benign/straight part of their business. Evan was signed to Prime, but with Blackstone being a sister company, it's expected for there to be some crossover.

I wouldn't be shocked if we see them fold Blackstone to concentrate on Prime.

His legs are not gaining where he needs, the other guys are surpassing him. The NY pro may not even be in reach for him at this point.

Vince you are a day late for Law School.....no legal matter gets squashed in 14 days. 99.9 percent of the time its 30 to 90 days before it even hits the court docket.

But hey what do I know you have been in court for failing to be successful more times than a porn star has taken a load to the eye  :)

A company suing BSL out of pure jealousy....meh.  DMZ and Alpha 1 Max is going to be sold out and never made available again.  Methadrol is already gone. 

There's really nothing to write about on this one.  The lawsuit will be thrown out of court eventually and they'll have to pay court cost.

Maybe you missed the part where they are using a lab to produce the capsules that the FEDS shutdown years ago for selling gear and the fact that they are still selling supps after the Obama law went into place....

this is not about just one company pissing in the others corn flakes

Hence why Evan took off for CT as fast as he could

Evan quietly walked off with a nice severance package from Aaron and PJ...definitely did not run.  BSL and Prime are not responsible for what another company does....obviously, the facility is now back open or otherwise they would simply have their products made somewhere else

He was let go by Aaron and PJ, he didn't just walk out.  There's no official statement at this time but Aaron plans to discuss it on The First Callout on Project Bodybuilding and the actual reason

Its going to cost big....for Nutrition Distribution.  Not only will a judge throw it out but will also force them to pay attorney fees.  You can't sue a company because you're getting your ass whipped on the sales floor

Not sure how nice the "severance package" was from a new supplement company, but you seem to have it right Vince.
I don't think they wanted to keep paying Evan's contract and felt his endorsement wouldn't boost sales much or help brand their product.

I think they made a mistake , IF they did this, but wtf, I don't own or manage a supplement company.

Evan got an entire year's salary for severance for being there for just 6 months.  Better than what you would get from Palumbo and every other supplement company as they usually just throw your shit out the door and slam it shut. 


As far as whether it was wrong or right, its not Evan's company...its Aaron and PJ's and they have to make decisions that are best.  Considering that Evan was friends with PJ for a long time, it wasn't an easy decision

That is not what they are suing for, you don't understand the lawsuit. It's going to cost Blackstone big to defend
