Hey Shawn,
I'm in India on holidays for a few weeks. I called into a gym in one of the smaller cities to see what it was like. Really old_school, like golds in the 60/70's but what really caught my attention was the huge cardboard cutout proudly hanging on the wall of one Mr. Shawn Ray, Arnold Clasic Winner 1991. Your fame knows no bounds!
regards,
The Doc ;)

I have a pic on my wall of Mike Ashley, 1990.
He won the Arnold Classic, you know.

I had that same cutout,but had to give it back after it tested positive. Oh well. Weird uh?

No he didn't. He was given the title after Shawn Ray was disqualified for failing a drug test which was bogus. After all, Andreas Munzer managed to pass it ::) No-one has really acknowledged him as the champ and Mike eventually retired afterwards.

"No-one" except all the history books, magazines, websites, and historical references to the 1990 ASC.

So what. Everyone knows who really won and that's what matters. When the trophies were orginally handed out, Shawn Ray was declared the best on stage that day. Mike Ashley has the trophy and I'm sure he cherished it as it was his final pro win and would be better to retire with that on your resume than the Detroit Invitational

Good point, Shawn did recieve the trophy in front of everyone and had his picute taken with it at the show and all the pics will forever show he was better that day. Still sucks he had to get DQed and give all the shit back :-\
-
Who got the $100,000 check?
-
THe only reason you're arguing this is because Shawn Ray humiliated you bad. The video from the show proves it and like I said. The drug testing was very poor and although Shawn could have disputed it fairly easy, he turned back in the trophy on the advice of Joe Weider and moved on. He was rewarded with a huge salary increase and the following year won it again.
How can Shawn Ray fail a drug test when Andreas Munzer passed it?????? ::)
-
Who got the $100,000 check?
I highly doubt they paid 100Gs in 1990
-
Who got the $100,000 check?
It wasn't 100,000 at the time.
-
it was probably $2400 in food stamps and a met-rx baseball hat.
-
$60,000 G's and it was no loss to me.
I later placed 3rd in the Olympia that year, got a pay raise and a Cover shot, came back the next year took the $70,000 bet it all on Black and became THE MAN! ;D
I paid for a friends Sex Change :o

While it does say that Mike Ashley won that show, many people know that Shawn Ray really won the show, and was disqualified later because he didn't pass his drug test... while others did.
Still, on that night, Shawn was the winner in the eyes of the judges and the fans.

Shawn, i don't care if you won the lottery the next day, dude.
$60k in 1990 was a LOT. Hell, 60K is a lot of money today.
It's *clear* that Mike Ashley was in Balco's Basement getting the hookup...
but come on Shawn, you wish you had that 60k...
-
paid for a friend's sex change? that's not christian.
-
$60,000 is a lot of money to "Some" people. ::)
My Ferrari Testarossa cost twice that when I bought it the same year! :o
I'm not doing too bad and landed on me feet.
Yes, I know Ashley and Balco were linked but I didn't care, I was training to move up from 13th in 88 to 3rd in 90, which I did and got handsomely rewarded for my efforts from Uncle Joe.
All's well that ends well. ;D

-

yea because everyone on this website obviously give a shit about that stuff. lets be realistic. most everyone thinks of Shawn Ray as a 2 time Arnold Classic winner who got robbed in his first year. say what you want about 'official shit' , but thats the way most people see it.

Werent you exposed by Onlyme for having never owned an expensive car, and simply leasing them or renting them for a weekend to get you pics taken with it? Doesnt surprise me considering all the checks bounced at your Colorado show, yah you must be rolling in the $
Shawn, Its also really believable you purchased a Ferrari on a bodybuilders salary ::).....BTW how much money do you make for being on the cover of a bodybuilding magazine?
Bodybuilders are poor as piss, and they were even poorer in the 90's.

Ron, that's not a very sound argument. Whether or not you agree with drug testing or not is another debate, but Shawn cheated and GOT CAUGHT so therefore Ashley was the rightful winner, period.
-

Yah, your right, and Im sure Shawn has much experience doing those "other" things, like getbigs very own Derek Anthony.
Keith dont you find it Ironic how Shawn claims to be a Christian, yet is always bragging about money (which he doesnt have), and spreading Rumours about other bodybuilders, like Kamali..
Doesnt the bible say to turn the other cheek? Shawn is just a Christian when it is convienient for him.

Well my friend is only Christian when it counts. He isn't really full time.
And Ron your remark about Ashley was really off. I think you had a major typo there. You can fix it now.
-
come on Shawn, elighten us all about how it is a Christian practice to slander, and to brag about one's supposed wealth.
-
who dat?

Shawn to bad you didn't have Cutler's lawyer.. :-\

WHO DAT?! His Momma?

As Corny as Shawn is, I still think he is pretty funny...All most nerdish...but funny never the less..

This has always been of intrest to me. What do you mean lease, as if it was a risk based form of financing? I don't know how things work in the US, but here in Canada the only thing different between leasing and buying is whether you want to pay on the front or back side of the commitment. I always lease, if I like the car I buy the lease out at it's end and keep it ( often resell it as I get more then the buy out because I look after my rides. )
You need the same credit and cash flow to lease or buy and you can write a % of your lease off. I lease a 2005 RangeRover . . . The price was $115,000. I put enough down to keep the monthly payments to with in my budget. I will buy it out at the end of the three year term and keep it as a low KM's, perfect second ( winter ) car and then lease another car, most likely a Porshe Boxter.
Dose leasing differ that much between Canada and the US?

Why not - do you honestly beleive that Shawn was not at a level playing field with everyone else at that event, or do you beleive that Shawn was inexperienced in one of his first shows, and didn't know what the other bodybuilders knew. Point is, at that show, Shawn was crowned the winner, and then disqualified. If Shawn had known what Jay Cutler knew today, things may have been different.
This is nothing against Mike Ashley, he was a great bodybuilder, but on that night, the judges had him in second place.

Exactly! Inexperienced, and obviously didnt know what other people knew. Im sure shawn was taking exactly what the next guy took, just didnt know how to cover his ass.

uhhhh.....maybe. I'm just saying he comes off like a dick. 85% or more of the people that post here make about 60k a year and here we have mr. hotshot saying it ain't alot of money "to him". First thing I thought when I read it was "what a dick".

I doubt that 85% of the ppl here make 60k. With the average US household income at what, 45k... with the fact this is not the best paying industry in the world... and the fact that there are alot more ppl in their teens and 20s than in their 50-60s (where more millionaires sit), I think 85% is high. Altho-- if we're on here in the day, it means we're not working for min. wage, so it might be higher than normal...
And to anyone who's ever grown up broke- no matter HOW rich you get- 60,000 is still a LOT of money.
-
You can do a lot witih 60g's a year, maybe not if you have a family but still.
My dad (has 2 sons including me) never made more than half that and he managed to save a lot of money and is financially secure.

I was being generous...shawn we all know you were a great bodybuilder and you made alot of $$$ in the sport-however you did it is up to you, I don't know about all the "extra" stuff you guys do to make money and I'm not saying you did any of it but please for your own sake..Think before you type.
-
Point is, $60,000 is a lot of money if you "HAD IT" and had to give it back.
If you never had it in my "Possesion" to begin with, so it's hard to miss it. ???
Schools out :-*

WTF bro. With a few sentences you steer up a neat shit storm. One could almost believe some magic powders that goes up your nose had been used before that came to life. Anyways...

I notice something in that nude pic you took. Is that a rag you got covering up the windows? Why does everything in your apt. look like its falling apart? Judging by your post I would have assumed that you were making alot of cheese but you are really making pennies :-\
