Now that Kevin and Flex made their comebacks.......
Shawn Ray is the new Generation Iron guy ( Wheeler is useless to GI now)
And R.Piana dead , GI needs to make noise/$$ with another "athlete " but how ?
Shawn has increased muscle mass in recent days ......
Is Generation iron cashing in with Ray now ?
Another movie ??

Neah.. is too lazy. For several years we've seen only his fat version

I wouldn't call him lazy, he just doesn't see the reason. From his teens to Fit After 40, he has been disciplined with bodybuilding.

It's sad for me to see how it looks the shirt around his belly for years. There were and other former big bodybuilders .. Levrone, Flex, Yates, etc but they never looked like this after . It's about eating (decent) and training and the desire to look just good, simply. Shawn no longer has this desire.. IMO

I'm curious maybe Shawn Ray has something going on with his eyes or some shit remember he just trying to look cute in those ridiculous glasses that were played out in 2005

Awhile ago, before his dad died, he had posted his schedule which involved him taking care of his father and his family. And sure enough, it looked like a training schedule. So he has used the regimented discipline that he learned from bodybuilding and applied it to other areas of his life.

Shawn Ray would never make a bodybuilding comeback - why should he?
13 years as a top 5 pro at the Olympia, and now, he is done... doing videos, commentaries, behind the scenes and reporting on the sport.

I'm assuming Asia is his retirement hustle. Does she have a real paying gig on Disney or Nic? By all accounts they have been trying to bill her as the next Beyonce. I would suggest they put her in a group with 2 strong vocalist.

Who cares, he might be a dick but he’s content on how he is living these days and happy while guys like flex has one kidney still yearning for attention and Kevin still living in the past
Shawn moved on with his health intact and has nothing to prove

You sure that's 93 not 1998?

I didn't even know he had a kid. Let me guess he is still collecting six figures a year training...

Shawn is outspoken, but why the comments that he is a dick? He denied me permission to interview him in 2007 by saying "Puff, puff, pass." ;D But he probably wanted to preserve his brand by only doing interviews with people of a certain social media or mainstream media reach. In bodybuilding, I find that most pros will grand interviews unless they have publication contracts, because bodybuilding is a small industry, but Shawn is arguably a legend in bodybuilding.
He did give me his Fit After 40 DVD for free at the 2007 Arnold Classic. And yes, he is outspoken, but so what? I don't see what's wrong with that. He knew he could back up his mouth with his physique, hence why he did the talking he did. Again, I see nothing wrong with that. Just my opinion.

What's that mean? He promised to beat Haney , failed , promised to beat Dorian , failed , promised to beat Ronnie failed. The guy won two fucking contests in 14 fucking years , yeah he never backed anything up. Shawn is the epitome of OVERRATED he only won two contests and he's marketed himself as exceptional , He had an excellent physique but put things in prospective.

No, that's not the reason. Shawn Ray is just very reserved and is from that old school generation of bodybuilders where they don't wish to be taken advantage of.

theres alot of personal stories about him back in his old days..... thats why nobody likes him... great physique, just a selfish backstabber..this is before he became a MD or whatever spokesman...and yes i believe he could do a "good" comeback. he didnt have that drug look to him like he overloaded his receptors.

Just spoke to Shawn earlier, he was round for tea and biscuits. He said he's currently prepping to begin his years training for the O

Holy smokes! :o I guessed he'd shaved his head due to MPB but I never realised there was a stage where was going around looking like this - thought he would have been too vain not to use a toupee.... fair play to him!

theres a story about that guest posing pic... he went to that event and didnt want to pose. the sponsor told him he had to guest pose or not get paid.... why else would u pay someone alot of money and room and board just to show up... he got mad and went on stage and posed but didnt want too... i could be wrong. thats what i read years ago...sure some vets on here can correct my story.(guest posing at a show not actual IFBB contest)

Hence the rictus grin clamped onto his face LOL :D
(Full disclosure - on my phone I thought that shadow at the side of his head was hair, hence my comment! I just looked at it on a bigger screen and realised my mistake Hahaha! ;D

NO ONE could beat Haney during his reign. NO ONE could beat Dorian during his (even in his broken down shape POST-1993) and NO ONE could beat Ronnie at the time that Shawn was competing against him, so stop your bullshit comments. Shawn was an amazing talent and had a damn near perfect/flawless physique throughout his career. Politics and his 5'6"-5'7" frame kept him from winning. FACT.

I'm pretty sure the guest posing wasn't from 1993. His head was shaved and he had earrings in the pic. Shawn didn't have earrings or shave his head until after the 1996 Iron Man Pro (where he still had hair).

As usual you are WRONG and I am correcting you ;) Lee Labrada did beat Haney in the posing rounds , more than Shawn Ray accomplished even though Shawn promised to beat him , And Yates beat Haney in the muscularity round , So again , wrong. You're correct about no one could beat Dorian 8) and No one could beat Ronnie? ::) Flex almost did , and Jay mopped the floor with him in 2001

Shawn was an amazing talent ::) Yeah 2 pro wins in 14 years , real amazing ::) . A damn near perfect/flawless physique? NOT according to the IFBB judges and in the end only they matter ;) LMAO when in doubt drag out the " politics " card ::) Hey it's all you have because despite your claims to the contrary you have no " FACTS " all you have is feels :'(
Fact is Shawn competed many times and almost never won. Fact is Shawn talked about beating the best-of-the-best and failed Fact is he's the textbook definition of overrated.

When you've had a physique like this at 6'2, do you really have anything to prove anymore?
Let him be fat and content.

And that wasn't 1993, but in the 2000s.

What a fall from grace , He doesn't need to be 205lbs anymore but he doesn't need to be 230lbs at 5'6" either

And the same could be said for most on the list returning the favor. He's overrated because he only won 2 contests in 14 years of trying. Not impressive for a competitive bodybuilder.

he only entered a few shows apart from the big ones...
was Labrada over rated?

Shawn's fault he put all his eggs in one basket. And No , If anything Labrada is underrated and his record is even more impressive than Shawns. 9 years as a pro never placed below 5th in a pro contest , two runner-ups in the Mr Olympia AND 7 pro wins. Unlike Shawn he's moved past his pro bodybuilding career and doesn't bitch & moan about how he was shafted 25 years latter. And his physique is better than Shawns. ;D
-
Shawn wasn't over-rated. He was very complete, top to bottom, front to back. One of the best short guys (and best for any height) of all-time.
He had an excellent physique and he was one of the best short guys however as a competitive bodybuilder he was overrated.
-
What's great with Shawn Ray is that he'd never take a knee.
He is one of the enlightened brewskies that don't feel like a victim.
-
He's getting leaner.
Maybe switching to GI was a smart move to boost his image
As for Wheeler. I think he would try to stay at it.

Are you stealing Flex Wheelers thunder at GI now that he's done competing and no longer relevant ??

I didn't know I was "Competing with Flex?"
Sadly whatever he does for GI has no bearing what I'm do for and with them.
I work Independent of Flex and have no dealings with him whatso ever.

The signing of Flex was perceived as "bringing back a legend" but since he wasn't as relevant over the years his "comeback" was a clever idea to milk him and actually brought a lot of traffic to the GI site/Youtube channel ....
But Flex ended his quest at the Classic olympia, and All of the sudden you're on board ! so it might not be a "competition on stage" but its perceived by some, as you're replacing him now that he doesn't have much to offer on media ....

overrated?!!!.. he placed in the top 5 at the olympia for 13 successive years during the strongest era.. including the 2nd place 2 times and according to many he should have won especially in 94...
winning more contests doesn't make one a better bbr.. for example venice taylor won much more contests than flex wheeler but it goes without saying at his best flex was a much better bbr with all due respect to venice..
