For those who don't get it. Here is the Criteria.
1)An Ifbb Pro
2)Have won an overall national/World championship-Non NPC event(NABBA,etc.)
3)Have won class in a national NPC event(N. America/national/USA)
With Wayne Demilia having the final word on this. For example, just because you are an ifbb pro, does not guarentee PDI Pro staus. But id you don't fall under one of the top 3 catergories, it won't even be considered.

My question, why would someone have a problem with that criteria?

I'm not so familiar with NABBA (as I'm sure they don't have as many contests as the NPC)
so for the average genetically gifted meathead the NPC would be the way to go........
why doesn't the PDI promote within it's own ranks the chance to turn pro
with a amateur division?

It most certainly is. The Orland qualifier has been postponed unitll april. But there is an amateur show on friday the night before the NOC. Top 2 in each weight class will earn a pro card, and the chance to compete in the Night of Champions.
Mike, that means you could do it.........and you should

Are you going to put together a DVD?
Also is there going to be a exhibition the day/night before the NOC with supplement booths and such?

Just make it fun and interactive.
Not "Now I'm gonna do arms"
"Now I'm gonna do legs" etc etc
Maybe some hidden/backend stuff of quick excerpts/interviews with Co-Workers, what's it like working with a behemoth
Put your house, cars etc (unless of course you have a studio and a 72 Pinto)
Maybe a little more in-depth of why you do certain exercises over others

I thought you won a local contest, the Keystone State Classic. Or is there some other national event you've won too?
How did you qualify?

Yes, I won the overall Nabba North America.
I also took 3rd in the Nabba world championships, but that does not qualify me.

Why not have a camera come out with you after the NOC and film us all, (Mike, I and your other Rhinocerites) having Daiquiris, Cosmos and other cool umbrella drinks.....umm cough cough I mean Steaks, Beers and Vodka, talking about your placement in the show etc etc
Rhinocerites....so what do you think about that

Jack,
I knew I had you pegged as an umbrella drinking kind of guy.
Signed,
A Rhinocerite

which nabba was it Joe Lopez international version, or the the traditional one, since they split its been hard to keep track of whos who and winning as theirs twice as many champs now, shame really.
-
Which one rhino, i couldnt find you on their records, just curious, a few mates have won titles with them,
-
Nabba doesnt have a Jack London in the top 6 of its worlds or Universes back to 2002, both versions, original nabba and the nabba international version with Andreas Frey, im more than a little curious since you havent answered,

I think it was 97. He was challenged here, he let the doubters gloat, then he posted evidence and everyone got really quiet again. monster correct information dissemination.
Jack won his class, which is just like winning it at nationals, if the IFBB didn't require its guys were funneled thru the NPC moneytrain. he's legit by the PDI requirements. And compared to old pics of him, he has seriously blown up, and he's ripped to hell with 11 weeks til the NOC.

if a guy like pelletier or K jones wishes to compete, the PDI, as a business, reserves the right to not allow them to join.
the ifbb HAS to let guys compete if they have a pro cars, longa s it's not in invite or a qualifier. hence the scrubs at the NY Pro bottom, etc.

Ken Jones is retiring from what I heard because he's tired of competing against GH bellies but I never saw him really out of shape or anything. He's simply too small to do any damage. He's essentially a beefed up bantamweight from when he won the division at the NPC Nationals. I'd doubt Wayne would block Ken from competing in the NOC especially for what he did the last NOC show.
Pelletier should have hung up the trunks along with Larry Scott & Frank Zane years ago. But he apparantly still wants to compete. I'd say let him. He did rightfully qualify as an IFBB pro and he does have one pro win under his belt. I don't think it hurts the show if he's onstage.

My personal opinion is that it's a joke when you see a pelletier up there. it's like letting a high school scrub tag along on the NFL field.

For a guy who likes himself a whole lot, it seems pretty odd that Jack "The Lying Rhino" London does not have a SINGLE PHOTO of himself "winning" this show. I know it was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure they had cameras back then. Or maybe he went alone and didn't have "Team Lying Rhino" around to support him and take photos.

it aint no wish hunt 240, im all for the PDI and what it stands for but the criteria should be higher nabba usa standrd is low, the minimum criteria should be nabba world champion at least, as in the case with Steve Sinton from scotland or Frey from Germany, accepting nabba national champions is going to hurt the shows big time as the stage is going to be made up of guys who would all struggle to place top 10 US nationals, and that is not going to attract fans, im all for it but the standard has to be higher, the federation is going to hurt itself by running a show like that, its worrying as the concept is great but there has to be a standard at the moment its to low, and they need to get their wallets out and start signing some better bodybuilders or their show will be a one off as their creditability will be shot.
