Very shitty.  I remember talking with him after he won the 1990 Arnold (but later to be disqualified due to Winstrol usage).  Great physique, fine poser and he always came in shape, however he's a sociopath, a narcissist and an ego maniac.

He was the first pro I ever met back in 1996. He was prepping for the O. I've met him many times since. Shitty person. Well overdue for an assbeating.

By today's standards he isn't really all that short, when you think about it. More like lower-average. Nowadays we have guys like Nicolas Vullioud who are literally like 5 feet tall flat.

Shawn thinks the world revolves around him which means he believes it's round

One of bodybuilding's all-time best and a really cool fella.

Always cool and cordial with me. Also, very professional.

My first bodybuilding show. I worked right down the street from the Ironman offices and became good friends with John Balik and the crew. John got me and my friends 5th row center tickets.

Shawn looked great but a little smooth. Mike Ashley was a deserving second. Vince Commerford was third.

It is when you have Mr Olympias from 1984-1991 (Lee Haney 5'11"), 1992-1997 (dorian yates 5'10), & 1998-2005 (ronnie coleman 5'11") all minimum 4"taller than him.

 I'm always surprised someone did not rip that wiggs wig off his head. :D

I always hear on this site that he's a douche bag but no one gives a reason why. He is an amazing complete bodybuilder. His first video "To The Extreme" was the first bodybuilding tape that showed actual training instead of staged that was so common at the time. It's still one of the best training videos I've ever seen. Picture perfect squats too.

He's hacked off a few over the years, but who hasn't? I've dealt with him several times. No issues whatsoever. Even when just shaking his hand and saying hello. Well spoken, smart and very professional.

That VHS of which you speak rules. Love it. And like you say, his training is pristine. Fantastic squatter. And he was strong.

Keith used to post here "onlyme" before he died knew Shawn pretty well, would post up stories of him all the time about how bad of a person he is

He may be a dick, but that's nothing compared to him being a rat/snitch/taddle-tale/cop-caller/finger-pointer.

Never understood how men can grow up like that.

Like they cant "win", so they tell on the ppl who do.

Shawn cant "win" againat flexnso he tells on him about his calves.

Shawn cant "win" against chads clients so he tells on them for diuretics.

Shawn cant "win" selling steroids or getting publicity  sonhe assists the DEA in the steroid investigations against milos, ct, and dj (& everybody else he could).

Everything he does is the losers way of trying to win. Instead of winning on your merit or abilities, you attempt to win by discrediting and eliminating your competition. Be it onstage, financially, or legally.

lol, that fat fuk was an extremely hateful piece of shit.... no angel - he seemed to have a serious problem with blacks.

if forced to be a juiced up black dwarf - u could do a lot worse than shawn ray, he was practically flawless, and look at his damn near Caucasian facial features

Everyone's an angel after death. Funerals, man, lie after lie after lie. Imagine lots of family and friends there thinking, 'Who the fuck are they talking about with this bullshit?'
