Why rip on the Colorado Pro?

[HowieW]

Why did so many get biggers that never went to the actual show have to talk so much doo-doo about the Colorado Pro I can understand those that din't go to ask and give their 2 cents but the endless ragging, what is the point? Do you think Shawn Ray is even going to care or change over what some nameless numb nuts said that never bought a ticket...or plan to.
Seriously, Shawn and Jeff Taylor bring a new event to bodybuilding and while not perfect was still a great show overall. Some here even suggest that seeing it on web stream is the ideal???
C'mon, guys , going to the event and being there is a lot better and lot more fun.
Of course if you don't want to meet or talk to anyone, I guess sitting home alone is ok?
1. At every show I go to, I meet a few get biggers, pros and others who are geat folks and have a good time.

2. Come on line and those that never even go to shows, go on and on about how the show sucked.

3. Conclusion - The show was good and THEY suck.

Why rip on the Colorado Pro?

I haven't been ripping on it but I would be happy the show operated at a loss.  It gives a chance for Shawn to learn for himself why paying big prize purses is totally wrong.  I just wish it was Shawn's money.  But at least it reflects badly on him to Vyotech = repercussions for Shawn.  Now he will finally learn why high prize money is a business disaster in bodybuilding.

Shawn: "...and doing OUR JOB."

LOL!!!!!!!  As if bodybuilding is a job.    Epic sense of entitlement.  You choose to juice and compete and if you don't like the terms - DON'T F***ING DO IT.

That being said, Shawn did make an excellent point in that clip - has the IFBB since fixed this problem?  At the local show I was at on Saturday, this problem still existed.

people don't rip on the show, they rip on shawn

Hey Howard, the key to Getbig's success is its allowances for polemic citiques, negative and positive. You know this. You certainly have benefited from it -ie. morose, despairing screeds vs. knee-jerk, triumphalist support. So why do you want to squelch those who want the same deal?

'Nuff said.

I'm hoping everything I've read about Shawn is not true because he seemed genuine when I met him and I'm rarely wrong about that kind of thing.  If it is true though, he is a dick and a huge hypocrite.  I mean, using drugs and ratting on drug dealers?  Epic logic.

What is your fucking problem today? Did Shawn do anything to you? Go have some cornflakes and milk and relax

I meant not true...that is a pretty significant typo. 

Previous post = edited.

I hope that Shawn is the confident and grounded person I thought he was when I met him, but I have to accept that it may not be the case.
