Because according to Jack he won the "NABBA North America" in 96.  But no one can find any documentation of the show on the internet and he has not been very forthcoming with providing proof.

He placed 3rd in 97, not 96

I wonder if he's "mistaken" about winning the North American too. 

am I missing something?  on the ifbb pro division website I see the scores broken down by round, but not by judge.

Basically the IFBB is a company that charges it employees to work for them. The employees do all the work, do all the promoting and take all the sacrifices while the employer (IFBB) reaps all the riches with absolutely 100% indemnity(?).It's really that simple.  And even worse than an employer cause for all the employees do to promote the employer and them money they recieve nothing back. 

No pay
No insurance
No retirement fund
No security
No support
No legal counsel
No freedom
No profit sharing
No Christmas Party
No paid vacations
No per diem
No residuals
No roid allowance

So basically the BB's who compete in the IFBB are..................... ..........

It was some guy from Italy, I'm not sure what his position was...

The whole purpose of a representative, is that they reflect the general ideas/ requests from the entire group...single requests will be considered, but not necessarily submitted.

That wasn't my proposal

Ok - first Mr. Intenseone - give me an update of your training with Rory. Now to your question, and since I met you at the Ironman - are you serious

Lets just go back ten years.  Did you think 10 years ago that the Olympia, Ironman, Arnold, Colorado Pro would have expos the size of what we have now with hundreds of booths and companies coming to support. Did you think that you would have 20,000+ people going through these expos.  Do you not see the prize money go to record heights in the Olympia. Very well at the Arnold. The Colorado Pro.

If you remember 10 years ago, even at the Olympia in Long Beach and New York, all they were was the show, and about 20 booths. That is it. Same with the Arnold, in the old VIP Dinner room. Look at these events now.

With the rise of supplement companies, starting with Metrx, ABB and others, they brought more money into the sport than ever before. At least 40-80 pros and many amatuers have some sort of contracts, maybe even more.

Nothing was like this 10 years ago. And if you can't even admit that - get real. 

Lets get ready to rumble on Getbig...

 

If this makes sense, he's made a difference for the competitors, but what has he done for the industry as a whole?

HAHA SUE for what? Showing up out of shape? Yeah that's a good one.

They chaanged the rules because of Wayne's failure to collect the prize money upfront, or have any assurance of the funds being accounted for.

As I just stated, the account was a Vyotech account that was set up foir the show....this isn't difficult, Keith.

There was never a fear of the athletes NOT getting paid.

I am back in the gym and trining 5 days a week and doing cardio 6 days a week.  I am still not dieting like I should but man can't help it. 

Bob was at his best back then.  His waist was smaller and his conditioning was better than in any of his pro shows.  He deserved the win.
