Those weren't my questions.
However, they were very good questions.
Solid Attitude, you seem to have your own agenda here. You bash everything that questions the IFBB's authority. If the PDI was running fixed contests, ripping off competitors, and monopolizing a field, I'd be asking WD these same questions.
And you can take a poll. I bet you about 90% of getbig members would LOVE to see those questions answered.

soooooooooooooooo Chic should give up his lifetime dream? (without dreams/aspirations of greatness we are but the walking dead) f**k everybody ...............I SAY GO FOR IT CHIC!
Not all dreams are realized. He has one child, which makes me think what he's already been through puts BBing in perspective. If he had to tell us right now what his *dreams/aspirations* are, I'm guessing the first 10 things out his mouth would involve family/career/longterm success. I mean, I love to see the feelgood stories come true. But drying out for a show could take 20 years life off those kidneys. Getting busted picking up test/deca for the show could be a lengthy trial/short sentence. IMO, going "all out to win nationals" for shows is something that crazy 25-year olds should do. Any man who is 35+ with a family and a set of responsibilities that does it is seriously unbalanced. IMO, Jorge has the most capital/worth from the fact that he had so much potential and still *could* do it. He'd only lose by making a comeback. He does need a stronger online presence to make the most from his endorsement package. He does need a more visible website and recognizability among today's youth in order to command more $ the next time he sits down to negotiate with his company. He just needs the right guy to help him out

do i want him to realize his potential?...............yes hope that lil lesson helped  Maybe you're not seeing the opportunity cost. When a man undertakes a run at a contest like that, his whole life is restructured and has to focus upon this. He can't be 100% at work, at school, at home, etc. He's taking risks he doesn't now. He's using time, money, and other resources that could be going in directions more likely to pay off in the long run. If anyone here has ever sat thru a wife's pregnancy while on a precontest diet, please share your tales. It has to suck.

Rob..................... Chic = wasted potential Jorge had it all back in the early 90's....next in line for a great pro career marketable/almost flawless physique you only have so long in this sport your "time" is limited your prime will pass you by! this might be Jorge's last chance to turn pro/have a BB career wife and kid might not last anyways! ur time is now go for it! (dont live ur life thinking/wondering what could of/should of been)
dude, you're kidding, right? Trying to "get our goat"? No one with half a brain really buys into the "bodybuilding dream". The smart ones use BBing as a vehicle for success in other areas. Modeling, endorsements, etc. Or as a side thing, like Jack London, who earns more from portfolio mgmt in a year than most top IFBB guys make in a decade. BBing is a very unhealthy and biased sport, and basing your life on it is setting yourself up for a major letdown. It's a great supplemental thing- but making it #1 is a horrible move.

shelf the baby idea ...(bro your time is long overdue to be a PRO!)
tell ur wife/baby you will be back after the show is over!
Anyone who puts off a family to pursue a trophy is a little bit crazy. You do know that after age 35, the chance of birth defects go up greatly, don't you? Putting off a family to compete in a rigged NPC contest...wow...

"They tried to get me to set up a drop with Craig, Matt would tell Ron Avidan from getbig.com just after Craig's arrest, and I said, no wayno way I'm going to set up my best friendyou guys are the FBI, you guys do your own job."
I call bullshit to that one. Matt told me on the phone that he never told the FBI yes or no. Instead, he just sat there while they set up shop. Not objecting, but not agreeing. He just 'let' them tap his calls and didn't tell craig they were on to him. Then, 30 min before craig/kelly were to meet at Matt's house, they were spotted and picked up at 3:30 pm. There was not much he could have done... but all this johnny tightlips BS is a load of garbage.
