Will anyone from the Ironman get invites to the Arnold since DJ and JJ are out?

Bob/Dan, As its well known that the Ironman is regarded as one of the premier shows IN TERMS of LIGHTING.

What makes their lighting superior to other shows, is it a trade secret & why do other shows struggle to duplicate or improve?

Is it the...

a.The actual lights?
b. The distance from the stage?
c. The angle the lights hit the stage?

Its obvious to me that Mike Nevuex influence has been projected in the shows lighting. Mike is probably my fave BB photographer of all time. His influence on the Iroman mag in the 90's was awesome as his trademark backgrounds and clarity of shots made picking up an edition of the Ironman (back in the day) a must.


I think promotors part of their licencing of pro shows should consult with Mike prior to each competition to maybe set a standard across all comps.. I recall the 06 Euro GP's, their backdrops were horrible and a real distraction to the competition - IMO.

Chick, Do you think there were enough comparisons in the prejuding?

I think that Shelestov, Hide, Ahmad and Samuel, did not get a "fair go".

I dont think Eddie Abew deserved to be in the top 5.

[AVBG]

5 minutes to go!  Let's hope Toney doesn't get ahem held to contractual agreements ala Victor!

[Wesco]

I actually felt there were a few people that didn't get placed fairly.  Offcourse silvio, but I the japanesse bber was screwed as well.

Good call on Sheltyov or whatever his name is. That guy got majorly jobbed.

Freeman was a great interview, that guy has mad charisma. I'm not sure why but i laughed like 10 times.

"I'm not trying to be Dexter, I'm trying to be HUMUNGOUS" hahahah 

edit: Very sad to hear about Shawn's baby. I hope there's a healthy one in the future.
