[regmac]

He's crawling alright, but without a 2008 show.

So pretty much what Ron is saying is........Vyotech is going out of business because the goat whey tanked. And there will be no colorado pro next year.

The Colorado Pro show, both years, were very good shows. The problem is that the title sponsor Vyotech, pulled out of the 2007 Olympia earlier, and has not committed to too many shows for next year, except for a few. Vyotech products are still moving, and really have not slowed down much. The problem was that they spent a lot of money on advertising the Goat Whey product, which was delayed.

So they may not sponsor the Colorado Pro, which can be upwards for $50-80K, but perhaps sponsor a number of other shows, which is there strategy.  So there is a good chance that the Colorado Pro show, which had its run for 2 years, just won't happen.

As for Shawn, like it or not, he pushed hard to bring a quality show to Denver, Colorado. Right in the heart of downtown. And he used a great promoter and good guy, Jeff Taylor (the NPC Chairman of Colorado) to work with him. Among other people. It was well run, and fun.

As for Keith, you of all people know how hard it is to run a good show and expo. You should me commending Shawn for at least pushing hard for two years to make it a quality event.  Shawn is a 13 time Olympian top 5 competitor. That is a great streak.

You, also had a great career and run until your spider bite. So now, leaving in Vegas, you have no more excuses to get in shape. You told me you would. It would be the greatest story for the boards! But then again, I know how hard it is to motivate yourself sometimes, as we all have that problem.

That's what they get for stealing my trademark name for their st00pid whey!

Problem is, Shawn, it's not just the peanut gallery reading this.  It's everyone in the industry.  your peers, friends, and enemies.

Why are you guys picking on me

I have told you time and time again that your contest venture was and would be a dismal failure just as all of these ventures pan out to be.  Why did you not listen?

[bizzy]

Nothing ventured...Nothing Gained
Better to try and fail at something than to not try at all...
Props to Shawn and Onlyme for having the balls to put
on a show...
Same to Adonis for entering the Mr. Getbig 1

[Paul Allen]

probably because you're in no position to give him financial advice?

[mass 04]

what about the millions of people that are wishing to attend?

[Ron]

It will be nice to go back to Colorado if the show is on the schedule. Denver is a great city. But as of now, we do not have the official schedule for 2008 yet. We shall listen in on Monday on Pro Bodybuilding Radio, and for those of you who can't handle an hour to listen, we will give you the Cliff note version of it later on.

Probably the reason the thread was cleaned up is because some of you choose to, instead of discussing the topic, you spew out a post or two of hatred that has the whole thread gone.  Instead of trying to support the industry, some of you clearly dont care, and that is too bad. I give a lot more respect to people who actually come and go to a show or an expo, than to one who thinks he knows, but says it is a failure.

It is easy to criticize from the seat of your ass instead of actually going to the show. As I have said it before, I have more respect for Billy Guns and Vince G for going to the O, than others who love to complain but never go.

As for Goatboy, get your act together, and try to say something positive. At least go to a show, and stop complaining about the world.

Ron, the negativity is because it's Shawn.  If it was anyone else who honestly tried to bring a new show on board, they wouldn't be catching this kind of shit.  Shawn is someone who delights in the misery of others and takes every opportunity to kick people when they're down (Keith is just one example of many).  We're returning the favor, as Karma is a bitch and what goes around really does come around.

Actually, he may be working there before too long.

     Ron I agree with your comments   and am shocked people would criticize Shawn on promoting a BRAND NEW show!  It's obviouse some of these guys on here never ever,  ever,ever,ever competed or dared to promote (even Co-Promote) a show . I respect Shawn as apromoter and one of the greatest bb'rs EVER!  I also congradulate you RON for a well ran chatline  that MAY need to be cleaned out a bit.   PS  Keep up the good work!!

We're not criticizing Shawn for putting on a show, we're laughing at him becasue it failed.  Shawn has a mean streak in him and enjoys kicking others when they're down on their luck...  he's just getting some of his own medicine.

How did the show fail? You didnt go to the show. I know alot of people that went that enjoyed the show. Shawn put on 2 great shows that put extra money in bodybuilders pockets and you complain? You complain about the ifbb not allowing bbers to go to pdi for extra money but when more ifbb shows are added you bitch about it. You roam around these boards showing hate towards everybody. Do you love yourself at all? Its obvious you hate people who does better than you. Join a church or start reading the bible because you need it.
