DJ should be in the Top 3 at this show.Kai will pick up another 10k it's a little more than the Arnold posing award cash.

Athletes dont pull out of shows by choice...and it doesnt happen often. That said, there is plenty of firepower at any pro show, as fans for the most part attend to see ALL the pro's and the show itself...
