could BB sink any lower than the WBF?Sure it can.....welcome to the PDI!!
I'm new to Getbig, just registered and started posting, but I've been in the sport for a long time. I have a fairly large archive of BB videotapes. I'm gonna go through them and upload a bunch of videos to Youtube for your enjoyment. I've been looking for stuff that hasn't been posted before. What you are about to see is a video of perhaps our sports most embarassing moment.Back in 1990 Vince McMahon (of professional wrestling fame) created a rival BB organization called the World Bodybuilding Federation(WBF). Several IFBB pros defected to the new organization and only 2 WBF championships were held ('91 & '92) before the WBF folded. The WBF was like a mixture of pro-wrestling and BB where the athletes had personas and they were referred to as BodyStars. Because Vince McMahon was under federal suspicion for steroid distribution, the 1992 competition was drug tested. The drug testing probably affected Mighty Mike Quinn the most as you'll see in this video. I don't think BB could get any worse than the WBF and what you see here. Pay attention to the announcers to, Chick could pick up a few pointers from these guys .Brace yourself and click the link:Here are some pics of the Mighty Mike Quinn in case you are not familiar with him:
McMahon was a fool for taking on bodybuilding. He did well to cover his bases with the contraversy/soap opera style that he's famous for with professional wrestling but the overwhelming fact that the crowd are watching a guy in a thong pose just wrecked it. Whatever steam Quinn generated by that poorly acted out crap at the start eroded when you realise that for the next 5 minutes he's going to pose and do nothing else. McMahon was trying to sell this shit to the rednecks and dumb people and they're definitely going to be feeling a bit gay when they realise that there's no ardent male bonding in the ring, just greased up dudes in thongs on stage.Anybody who studied bodybuilding for a few contests would realise the intensity level of the performance completely dips as soon as they have come out. There's no avoiding that. Kamali and other guys have tried but its never done with any success.
Rammer, thank you for that hilarious clip. More please. would love to see Strydom and Demeys routines, plus jim quinns , hell i wanta see them all..... i miss the late 80's and early 90's
The first 4 minutes is supposed to be a James Bond rippoff but it looks more like a cheesy soap opera/soft porn movie. Stick with it, he'll eventually pose.
I only looked at this thread to see what SpecialEd would use as his signature...it's different everytime.
Okay, just for you I uploaded Berry DeMey's routine. I'll do "The Future of Bodybuilding" Jim Quinn and Strydom too but you have to see Danny "The Giant Killer" Padilla's routine as well which will probably be next. Here's the link to DeMey's routine:The first 4 minutes is supposed to be a James Bond rippoff but it looks more like a cheesy soap opera/soft porn movie. Stick with it, he'll eventually pose.
