What is the projected lineup for the New York Pro?

[240 is Back]

ANyone?

[Stavios]

I don'T know the lineup that far out of the show will change 15 time until 2 weeks out.....

You can pretty much expect the same people from the Shawn Ray since they're right after each other plus some hometown boys

Darrem Charles (to defend crown)
Luke Wood (said so - hope he wins)
Federov
Capriese Murray (said so - hometown)
Craig Richardson (hometown boy)
Bob Cicharillo (I imagine since Weinberger is putting on the Masters too)
Markus Ruhl (IF he's doing the Shawn Ray isntead of the Capital City- WHICH I SERIOUSLY DOUBT - especially since he said so on his site)
Phil Heath (keep momentum going from qualifying for the O in Colarado)
Vic Martinez (hometown - possibility tho i doubt it)

plus a gaggle of Europeans reaching for the stars - Paco will prolly show up - he's been doing this show since at least 2002

I know a few guys have now said they're doing the NY Pro but not Shawn's show.  IMO this may be King's to lose, if he shows up in all-time best shape. 

I'm the biggest King hater in the book... but from what I hear, he's way ahead of schedule and he's been focusing more on growing and less on the boards.  It'd certainly be one of the stories of the year if King showed up to win a pro show.

Kamali isn't that bad a guy or a bodybuilder - he justs needs a new posing routine; the 17 levels of destruction and "you're now entering the Christmas tree zone" is played out. He's not as bad as Haidar who does the EXACT SAME DAMN POSING ROUTINE he's been doing since 2001 or 2002, but he does need to come up with something fresher.

As for whether he'll win, he'll have a tough battle with Luke for the title

[240 is Back]

while king's arms aren't the best around, and luke has the milos recipe now, i'd still have to lean towards King, with better shape and more experience at dialing it in.

[Stavios]

haha shawn is great

[Disgusted]

That's a really shitty lineup.

If that's it, I actually could see Kamali making the top 5.

The sad thing is, Disgusted will interpret that to mean that his boy is actually good, when all it really means is there weren't five non-third-tier guys that entered the damn show!

HAHAHAHAHAHA so this is your way of backing out of a bet. You're a pussy plain and simple. No wonder your wife wants to bang King. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA a

[G o a t b o y]

Backing out?  I never bet you to begin with. Do I look like Shawn Ray? 

[Disgusted]

Go to bed, wifey is dreaming of King. 

[JOHN MATRIX]

if RUHL shows up it will be lights out for the rest

[Wombat]

King hasn't won a show yet and has been getting worse every year since his olympia year...I don't see it...

[Hendrix]

King will not win but he will be $500 richer.

[benchthis]

looks like the colorado might be a better show than the new york

[bigdumbbell]

looks like the colorado might be a better show than the new york

never in a million years would a denver show be better than a new york show

[natural al]

ANyone?

no one's gonna say a thing or they'll be "called out" by you everytime someone drops out...

Thats a pretty big call (that you're the biggest hater).

I can post a thread mentioning kamali and guarantee goatboy response in under 15 minutes.

And S.Ray too, I think you've got yourself a competition.

[240 is Back]

okay, i do concede that goatboy and sray probably give him more grief than I do.

But I am not, nor never was a king fan.  But I do think he can win this thing.

[natural al]

I always got the impression that he was a prick, remember him getting in Shawns face backstage at the O a few years ago or when he was yelling at the fans during the NOC a few years ago when they called out the judges....always seemed like a prick to me...same with Demillia

[onlyme]

Well here is a photo of the competitors meeting they just had for the New York Pro.  Can you pick the winner

If I'm right. There will be some crossovers and some new faces. If the Pros had balls
they wouldn't be afraid to enter any pro shows. What is AMI/IFBB going to do ? Ban
everyone. Professionals should be able to choose to compete in any competition.eg.
If  the IFBB was staging a show one week and PDI had one the following week , why
shouldn't a competitor compete in both? Unfortunately there is no real leadership in
the Pro ranks. If there was ,this shit in your pants attitude would disappear.
