B&A International Classic - not NPC approved

[Vince B]

I guess Chick would like this thread to disappear.

I love the way he got repped in a salute Bob thread. Now, that is the peanut gallery he was knocking here.

[JohnnyVegas]

It is pretty funny watching a bunch of grown men argue over Jon's financial income & except for his tax guy....probably nobody really knows.

LOL!

Chick "started it"........ 


nah nah nanah  na naaaaah.......

[dearth]

still unable to defend your lackey behaviour chick?

Still nothing, huh?

Only proving my point further....

the B&A Bodybuilding should compliment the NPC USA weekend not compete against it

every year the day before the Oscars - there is the Spirit Awards that takes place on the beach in Santa Monica
where the winners of the best Indie Films have their own ceremony

many of the nominees are also up for Oscars and get to go on the Red Carpet the next night
it makes sense to hold these events back to back - plus it is good for the economy

sure the folks in Vegas are seeing dollar signs with the USA Weekend extended for an extra day
hotels /  car rentals  etc

Vegas probably loses money.  Since hardly any of the BB's actually gamble they are taking away rooms from potentially higher rollers.  The rooms would be filled regardless if the USA's were there or not same with the rental cars.  Hotel do not care about filling rooms as they do having people gamble.  Thats why they are willing to comp rooms and food and other shit.  ANything so you will gamble more.

TRUE- However -Vegas in July(+August)is not exactly the peak season with 100+ degrees (but it's a dry heat)

Embassy Suites is not exactly the Bellagio-doubt you'd find any "high rollers" staying there anytime soon.
So the Hilton folks probably don't mind putting up with a hotel full of fitness gals/bodybuilders this one weekend out of the year.

Bob, you have the hide of an elephant! No wonder they appointed you to your lifetime position.

If we would compete against it it would be on the same day and not 1 day later,so that makes no sense what you are saying.

Good job Ben.  don't cave in.  With prizes like that you are already giving back to the BB's more than 99% will ever make from bodybuilding.  Those are the kind of people you want in your contest.  i can really see the woman division getting huge.  Maybe next year have a "joke" division and our resident "joke" Vince Goodrum could be the reigning king for a long time.

Thanks onlyme,
and everybody else for the support! We need to change Amateur Bodybuilding and Figure for the better!!!
Keep the thread up guys so we can have the most kick ass show in years,
regarding Mr.Goodrum,he even went to some Bodybuilding sites in Europe to warn people about our show.
His introduction was " This is Vince Goodrum, "Yes the REAL VINCE GOODRUM" I just want to tell you about the consequences blah blah.....unfortunately for him all these sites were supporter of our show!
So he really is against us!

Well having Vince against you is better than having him associated with the show.  He is the joke wherever and whatever he does.  If he was at all associated with your show people would immediately think it was a joke.  So, it is a good thing he is has nothing to do with your show.  And don't worry he could never enter your show since having any kind of entry fee immediately eliminates him.  Could you imagine a show with this lump of shit in it.  hahaha

of course it is better that he has nothing to do with us,it is just that he made the effort to even post in Europe to tell people not to compete in our show and I was wondering where that came from,is he such a NPC puppet?

Goodrum should get a sponsor's exemption so that he can compete without having to borrow against his equity in the company he works for.

[The Ugly]

Remember how hard this photo initially rocked the bodybuilding community? And how embarrassed we all felt for making such a fuss over those silly B&W Dorian sock pics?

I remember.

[Vince B]

People are too hard on internet legend Melvin Goodrum. Ben should sign up Melvin in his Muntzer-like condition to guest pose at his show. Would be great entertainment.

[War-Horse]

I saw melvin at the olympia expo.   But i wasnt sure as this guy had the body of a 14 year old video game champion.  There was NO muscularity at all...

Thats when i knew he was delusional.

Goodrum, quit your complaining about the athletes having more opportunities to compete for prizes.

For gawds sake if you cant be an athlete, be an athletic supporter....(oh wait, you are.)

how much are the taxes on those winnings and is it a lease or the winner gets the title? Some poor idioti is going to pay over $200 to enter and leave vegas owing taxes out of his ass if he wins

[ben 1]

taxes are paid by us for the cars and motorbike,if it goes to oversea there are no taxes and the International Athletes will be really good,BTW a lot of poor idiots going to pay over $200 a day earlier and go home with nothing(membership card and registration)at all !

[ben 1]

we could make an exception for him and let him start in Bikini Divas,it is only $99 so maybe he can afford that.

Interesting statement....I didn't realize every competitor in your show gets a car.
