King Kamali - wants to see the original scoresheet from the AC!

[befit124]

King is complaining about some scoresheet the expeditor had and how he wants to see the one with his name circled. What's up with this and are you checking on it?

If King contacts me and wants it looked into...I'll be more than happy to. I have not heard from King on the matter.

[Disgusted]

I texted King while he was backstage to find out and he said that he was in the top 5 so he would not be right out. After I would say a little more than 30 min he came out as I was in the lobby. I said what's up and he just rolled his eyes. After we got back to the room he said that as soon as he walked off stage he was told by the expediter that he was in the top 5.

After about 30 min or so later the expediter came back to him and said sorry King I made a mistake you are not in the top 5. Now, since King saw that his name was marked or circled then it was not the expediter that made a mistake, but someone else. I sure as hell have no idea how a "mistake"  like that could have been made. I also would like to know if this "mistake" affected anyone elses placings. I'll bet we will never know.

Bob, please keep an eye out for people calling King names like "poor Loser" and "bad Sport".

They're saying some mean things about him, and it's completely uncalled for.

The mistake was that he thought he had a chance, nothing more nothing less.

King is deluded. He was lucky to place where he did. Represents all that is wrong with modern pro bodybuilding.

I agree with YOU, and what you say is TRUE. King had a FEW, perhaps hes career is THROUGH.

i PROCLAIM king's anger does not SHAME; it sets himself AFLAME and he accepts all the BLAME for his mass GAME and he will never TAME as he would see this as very LAME trying to build his train wreck FRAME

we love to heap shit on King right

BUT, he seems kind of genuine in what he's saying about this issue

maybe the score card incident did happen, but was a mistake.....still, that's some screwed up incompetence

Say the official did approach King and then came back 30 min later with a "opps, sorry, you're not top 5 like i said you were"

How could it get to that?.....arent checks made....aren't double-checks made....where's the quality assurance in all of this?

Exactly, and who caught the error, who was not told they were in the top 5 and then later tracked down to be told that they were. Doesn't matter whether King got 4th 5th or 6th to me, there is a bigger picture here. As far as finding out how this happened, you would have a better chance of pissing in the wind and staying dry.

[Gino30]

I agree...it's done and dusted.....that original card is history....never happened

What I'd be worried about is that the Atalntic Pro placing was a statement by the powers that be....as in, you dont get our better judgement anymore....you've had your run and you've had good look ins...we've given you more than your fair share over the years, but your time is up....

I dont know....dude loves BB....let him go....but lets be objectional....he's on the descent in his career....you cant beat youth and fresh talent that is just as good and even better....better to know when to call it quits and move onto the rest of your life....

[LurkerNoMore]

for godsake, who cares if his name was circled or not?  he didn't make the top 5.  learn to live with it and STOP WHINING AND MAKING EXCUSES AFTER EVERY SINGLE CONTEST YOU ENTER.

jesus christ this man is a loser x10 and then squared.

Should the officials even be sharing the placings mid-contest before the final placings are announced?

Guys,

Some of you have been insinuating that King was being pissy backstage, being on the cusp of top 5, and was being annoying to the official about "this bullshit not being told either way" deal.

So, he was appeased with an answer of "settle down, you'll do fine, don't leave yet" from an official who was just tired of hearing this shit but didn't know the exact top 5 results, but didn't want to be under the spotlight if King melted or ran to the judges demanding to know the answer.

It's just nonsense for people to think that way.

[jaejonna]

Even if the original score sheet had him in 2nd, who cares, he looked like shit and 6th place was a gift.

Hope this helps

[tendonitis]

Let me get this straight, the guy who said he'd have a better career than Shawn Ray is crying because he believes he should have received 5th place instead of 6th in a third tier show?  Isn't that kind of like arguing over who gets to fuck the 250 pound chick or the 260 pound one?

Spot on .... i wonder how that whole 'better career than shawn ray' thing is going for him

No you're wrong, King said post-contest that he should have been in THE TOP 4!!!!!!!!  Ha ha, and Luke Wood also said he would've been top 3 if he wouldn't have fucked up with thyroid.  What's with these delusional C-list pros???

There's a big difference bet 5th and 6th.  Top 5 allows him to do the Olympia and market himself on a bigger stage with the bbing world watching, which could lead to much bigger things (contracts, guest posing etc).  Love him or hate him, he's charismatic.  when he does something people pay attention.  Case in point, Melvin looked amazing, best he's looked in yrs and I've only seen one topic about him and none on anyone else from the show, unless they're being compared to Kamali.  There's about 10 topics on Kamali alone since the show.

[King_Raisin]

5th place isn't good enough to make the Olympia.  Top 3 make it, unless the top 3 are already qualified, then the 4th place finisher gets a qualification.  If the 4th place guy is already qualified, too bad, noone else makes it.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the rule, so I don't think Stubbs is qualified for the Olympia either. 

[bodybuilder1234]

haha Disgusted probably bribed the Judges just so Kalami could be in the top 10

[TK]

King was in the first callout at the contest. That got him excited. He knew he was in the top five.

But in the evening, things changed. He didn't look as good. Joel Stubbs looked better.

King may not agree.

As for seeing your name on a scoresheet from the stage, come on. That is hard.

Did someone tell him he was in the top 5? Then they changed their mind?

No judge told King anything at all. King just assumed he was in the top 5 because he was called out in the first round.

The judges did a good job at this contest.

Are you saying this allows King to save face?

Like, he's trying to place the idea in the minds of his fans, that "He must be top 5 material", even though he's top 8 material at best?

Surely you're not saying he'd make that up out of embarassment, are you?

I don't think it's embarassment because King has no shame.  I think it's more arrogance than anything.
