[Tre]

Are they finally going to allow 'real' questions this year?  They've shyed away from that in the past.

[nycbull]

I just discovered I am going to be in Las Vegas at the same time as the Olympia, I had no idea...I can be a bit of an airhead at times..


So where are all the getbiggers meeting up? 

BTW..I hope none of you morons are staying at the Mandolay Bay, I dont want any noise or crass behavior going on in my hotel.

[FLEX N FREAK]

Im more interested to know who will be the Gadiators themselves, Any pro's or top amatuers ?

[The_Leafy_Bug]

Im going to spend this whole year taking as many drugs as i can so i can get big enough to apply!!!!

[bentone]

I know someone who has been approached to be a Gladiator. He is a amatuer competitor who may be the strongest bodybuilder I have ever met. He also was a tremednous wrestler and did a bit of MMA a few years ago.

LOL @ Lift

Hey, will you be debuting your new Affliction t-shirt at the O?? 

[Lift Studios]

LOL! I left those in Dallas. There will be at least 500 affliction t-shirt spottings during the Olympia weekend.

[Ron]

What - no Affliction shirt for you... oh no...

We will get you a Getbigfliction shirt then... design it

[PTB]

Hopefully, it will be more balanced.

Back in the day, the gladiators outweighed the competitors at least 50lbs,
yet they went around pounding their chests and flexing, saying how bad they
were.

Let them pick on guys their own size and see if they are true gladiators.

[swilkins1984]

Titan returns! Bob don't forget to pack your old uniform with your tux.

heh heh

We absolutely should get a count of how many there are, seriously.

Ron, can you run point on the snapshots?

Also, we need to get someone counting the number of wannabees wearing any type MMA-related t-shirt.  That could be one of the funniest galleries in GetBig history.

There was one classic epiose where they had a contestant that was twice the size of any of the gladiators, some huge Finnish or Swedish bodybuilder.. in one of the games (I think powerball) it took 4 of the gladiators to slow this one guy down, while no one was guarding the second contestant who just proceeded to rack up points.  Was great, I think the European guy beat the gladiators at pretty much every game they had.

[WOOO]

shit that's classic

For the record, folks, the tassles were *not* his choice.
