Title: Why all the hate for King Kamali?
Post by: body88 on May 20, 2006, 04:18:44 PM
He turned pro, made an impact with a third place placement then a good showing at the Arnold. Beat alot of better guys. Had everyone telling him he was the shit. It went to his head he acted above what he is. Most all you guys would have done the same shit. Seems to have relized that and stopped talking shit....

WHY ALL THE HATE?!


lol this should be good.... Goat you can start it off because I know you loath this dude lol

Actually.... the mags helped give him the bad boy/b boy image.  It works for him when his body doesnt.  Look at it more along the lines of him keeping his name out there which translates in guest spots, sponsors, a new hummer H2, a hot lady and a nice place in New York.  It's the nature of the members of getbig because most of them are probably under 25.

But he did make a name for himself, correct!  It's about earning a living.  He is like a nun compared to Titus.  He probably isnt top 6 O material but I'm sure he gets the press of some of the guys.  Let the man make his money.  You need some loud mouths out there.  BTW... he isnt one of my favorites... so I'm not here defending him.

King came into the scene with a vengeance. He started by talking smack that he will rule his rookie show at the Ironman Pro here in California, and Craig Titus called him up on it. Thus - a fight started between King (East Coast) and Craig (West Coast) and it escalated. King did back it up that night, 3rd place, and won the respect of many there, but still he talked a lot of smack. So did Craig. So did others over the years.

Basically, people took sides, and while it was entertaining, sometimes it got too personal between a few of King's adversaries. Today - it still is that way.

But King has been good over the last years, hasn't talked smack on anyone here, and while some of his followers has - he has not! So let it be, and you can continue this thread, but no malicious personal attacks. Enough was enough.

Now let have fun tonight with the New York Pro! Remember, the boards are meant to be fun and entertaining.

Now - no matter what we think, I know it must be very hard for him because he trained his butt off the last few months getting ready for the show, and via pictures beforehand, he looked pretty good. But something always happens in the last 3 days of it, and perhaps, King will elaborate on it one day...

ron... i respect the points that you have made but king's "problem" is that he comes in too FAT.... he is relatively wide waisted from years of GH and slin abuse and he try to come in "full" rather than losing an extra 10 pounds...  were he to do that then his gut would be absurd and he would be laughed off stage

He just needs to get a reality check of himself and realize he just isn't a good bodybuilder. He just didn't talk smack about Titus but about Shawn who could beat him of his worst (probably today, haha) day!!

If Shawn talks smack on Kamali fine, he can back his talk, but "Porkmali" cannot!!

Title: Re: Why all the hate for King Kamali?
Post by: rocket on May 20, 2006, 05:22:43 PM
The main reason why he is hated upon here is twofold:

1.  Most members, although newer than when it happened are aware of the fact that Kamali came here and caused a bit of a stir.  Doing things like making fake accounts to hype himself up and basically being childish.

2.  Shawn Ray who got called out by Kamali early on hates him and won't delete any of the hate about him. 

Special Bonus Reason

Our beloved Goatboy.  He's on call to keep it going.

And regarding the hate,

A few things to remember:

* Kamali once claimed he was able to beat Shawn Ray, he was gonna "kick Shawn Ray's ass".

* He made up a story about how Shawn Ray told him that he had no future in bodybuilding, but rather should go look for a job at McDonalds.

Especially the latter fact has extreme potential. It seems like the made-up story that he presented in order to create a feud between himself and Shawn Ray eventually seems like a fair advice. 8)

Shawn Ray probably wishes he actually would've said that to Shahriar.

Now Shahriar will always have to deal with the Fast Food references and jokes.

When King had a pic of himself with a sign that put down getbiggers, the hate flowed. When talk about Shawn Ray-- "he's short, has small dick..." The hate flowed, not to mention SHawn has probably had more women than Kamli has steriod injections.

When Kamali made fun of Jonathan Ogden of the Balt. Ravens, because he went to with him...He really was delusional of how great he was.

 Sorry, I didn't put high school in the sentence. He said that in high School Jonathan Ogden couldn't walk straight, he was always tripping.  Kamali was said he made fun of him, this was all in MuslceMag interview he did when he first came on the scene. The way Kamali put it, Ogden was blundering idiot ( that makes millions more than Kamali would ever see), and Kamali was hip, cool guy. Which is the way delusional wanna-be's tend to see themselves--everybody else is a actor in your world , and you can do no wrong.

"Sports Personality".

Basically, he reps for a few companies, does signings, hangs out for $35k a year and looks for the next thing to do.

Or, join the PDI where he can gain a little muscle back and keep working on the gut.

you gotta be kidding hedge, he got spotted on a BOWFLEX?  rack deads, i could kinda understand, kind of, deads are a little weird to spot someone on though. the whole point of rack deads is to lift the heavier weight, the rack acts like a pseudo spot as it is, but there is no, NO excuse for the bowflex.  thats a supplemental excercise anyway akin to machines.  although people do get spotted on machines so the spot on the bowflex isn't super bad but still.  spots on the bowflex.  maybe hed place highr if he wasnt lookin for spots on every type of excercise, think he gets spotted on hiney wipes too.

Any business wanting to be associated with low level bodybuilders who uses "supplements", are asking for a PR crisis.


Why you think the WWE started to get tough on AAS?Because they cared about health issues or something? Or perhaps because they feared a PR crisis?

Definitely PR.  But there will always be endorsement work for a guy like King, even if its more demeaning than he is used to.  He could still pack a GNC, even if he can no longer hang on a pro stage.
