Ron, tell us the truth about Shawn Ray
« on: October 25, 2007, 07:59:11 AM »
...Deep down inside, do you feel betrayed by Shawn Ray?

...Can you truly say that after years of defending him, erasing bad posts about him, letting him have his way with this board, that you don't partially feel betrayed by the fact that he completely jumped ship and then turned his back on everything he stood for, believed in and, most important, you?

...If the man spent years insulting MD and everything they stood for, swearing that he would never go that low, doesn't it surprise you that at the drop of a dime, he flips his wig and starts working for them?

...I know you probably didn't pay Shawn Ray any money RON, but I'm pretty certain that if not for GETBIG, Shawn Ray would have been forgotten a long time ago, because this was his main medium for advertisement, not to mention for humiliation of others.  The crap he would pull on Keith and others was downright wrong and no one ever gave him shit about it.  Now, because of a few coins in the bag, like that of Judas Iscariot*, he would turn his back on the man (RON) who kept that pulse beating..  Think about it RON, if not for you, why else would anyone in the BB'game care about who Shawn Ray is.  If not for him using this venue to keep his name alive, he probably would have never been offered this contract at MD. 

Tell us the truth RON, deep down inside, don't you feel that Shawn is a fucking traitor?

Why would he?  Ron understands that business is business.  It's not like Ron was paying Shawn to post here.

i don't think they had any type of agreement or contract (maybe they did) i dont know...
but if the contract was up...and MD put more money on the table (or Ron put nothing at all...)

then it's just business.

Maybe they think he will injure himself.

Just as Fedor if he signed with UFC couldn't fight anywhere else  :-\

Goat,

Business is certainly business, but Shawn was given many liberties on this board, a license to ill if you know what I mean, and to just betray Ron and head over to the dark side is quite sad. 

Although Ron probably never paid Shawn a cent, he did allow Shawn to advertise for all his events and as you know, advertising can cost you a pretty penny depending on the medium you use and since this is the most viewed bodybuilding website in the universe, it could have technically cost him a shitload to advertise here if Ron felt the need to charge him.  Aside from that, I'm sure Shawn got many other goodies behind the scenes that we don't know about.

EDIT:

Events Shawn advertised for FREE on GETBIG, whichw ould have cost him an arm/leg on any MD publication:

Colorado Pro
Those ridiculous Schmoe training camps
The donate money to Flex Wheeler fund
His personal videos (Remember, he would never answer any real questions, but instead resort you to his videos)
His personal training services (G4P included)

Well, wait for Ron's answer, but knowing Ron I seriously doubt he has any issues with it.

Ron has always been a peaceful diplomat trying to make everyone happy, I just think Shawn's betrayal might have turned a page in Ron's book.

Let's be honest - if MD contacted you and said "okay, here's the deal - we'll pay you $4k a year to post on our website if you leave Getbig (who pay you nothing by the way)" -would you go?

Course you fucking would - every member on here would do it and anyone who says otherwise is lying out their arses.

Face it, it hurts. :-* The MD message board just snagged one of two or three worthwhile industry figures who are regular posters at Getbig. Now I wonder what they can do to entice Chick, Dan, etc...

MD is the best magazine in the business, has by far the best and most comprehensive (this is indisputable) contest coverage, and yes it has waaaaaaay too many ads (but who cares?), and the articles by "pros" are all ghost-written (probably necessity when dealing with non-professional writers), but it still kick's Flex's ass.

MD is also fast becoming the best bodybuilding site on the Web, founded on positive discussion of topics of interest to BODYBUILDERS, and with the participation of leading experts in the industry. It's also a place where you can post almost anything that anyone would reasonably want to post without getting banned (despite a few murky bannings, but that was in the past), notwithstanding the false impression being perpetuated.

The MD radio show is slightly inferior to PBW in terms of production values, but no longer in terms of guests. Sure, PBW had Jay Cutler on (Mr. Exciting himself!), but here's who has been on No Bull Radio in the past six episodes: Dennis Wolf, Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler, Rich Gaspari, Victor Martinez, Victor Conte, Dexter Jackson, Melvin Anthony, Steve Weinberger, Iris Kyle, Gerard Dente, and more... 

Shawn had a decision to make to either (a) stay and play with the teenagers on Getbig and have a laugh... often at his own expense (Getbig is the funniest site on the Web, imo) or (b) align himself with the rising star in the Bodybuilding world. He made the smart choice, as he always does!
Repent, or join me!

As long as they don't try to steal Robert Michael Cicherillo, everything will be alright.

Quite frankly, I don't understand it at all, UNLESS you are trying to somehow correlate Shawn's actions to the statement "BROS OVER HOES" by insinuating that within the events that transpired the MD folk were considered to be Shawn's true Bros, while Ron was seen by Shawn as a Hoe, then maybe you can say that Shawn indeed left Ron to be with his bros...  If I am wrong, correct me, but other than that view, I can't see why BROS OVER HOES would make any sense...

I just want to know if RON is fucking pissed about this betrayal.  RON is a fucking god in this industry and one of the most influential people in the sport.  RON called Jay Cutler's win a year and a half ago and BOOOOOOM!!!!  Jay Cutler wins...

One flip of the eyelens by Ron and Shawn can be a homeless, black man without even enough change to buy a razor for his baldspot-stricken head...

I certainly hope that isn't the case.  I've grown quite fond of both Sgt. D & Hank Wood and would truly miss their presence here..
