If it were just pro-cards, we're talkin' about Mr. Olympia (supposedly the biggest and most prestigious contest of the year!!) qualifications ::)
It seems these days you're gettin' an Olympia invitation automatically with your blue tick in IG

Any way you slice it,it`s crazy.....used to be only the best of the best competed in the Olympia nowadays any old Joey Bagadonuts can enter.

This is a farce
Cant imagine how thin the winning cash is having to be spread

I mean it's ridiculous that there's so many shows that they have this many qualifications, however if you smoke 60 competitors and win the title, that's one hell of an accomplishment. I've competed in 2 shows specifically that had over 30 guys in my class and won, so if you're able to stand out to the judges with that many competitors that's pretty impressive. As opposed to some guy who wins his class with 6 competitors, gives him a false sense of accomplishment, goes on to the nationals and gets smoked.

Athletes? Ummmmmm...None.

Same Here have competed in Big 20 - 30 + classes ( many yrs ago)
and some with just a few and won - Most of the Audiance are really only interested in the Top 5/6 They're no interested or care who placed 61st -
& Certainly at The Top Pro Comps
Like The MR Olympia There should only be 12/15 Competitors max
Agin its only the top 5/6 who anyone's bothered about Not 15 place finisher

More pro cards and entries equal more money. Amirite? What are the yearly dues (not including “pay your dues”)?

2bros run by Tyler Manion charges £75 to enter a show, if you want to take someone backstage with you to help you prep it will cost you another £40
They also run around backstage between classes trying to convince people who didnt place to enter another class for another £75, cash payments only.

Do they still have a prejudging and a different night show for the finalists?
To be in any ways fair they would need to hold at least 3 or 4 prejudgings as a semifinals etc.
With 60 competitors, how long is that show going to take or will 75% of them get zero call outs?

Only the favorites get a fair look and everyone else gets lost in the shuffle. The Olympia used to be the best of the best but now I guess it's just about money. If everyone qualifies that kind of kills the prestige of the whole thing.
