The main thing here is mike is proving that "shit talking assholes from the internet" can turn around train their asses off, diet down and step on a BBing stage and actually look decent. 

I dont know about that. You make it sound easier than it really is...and its not, by far.. "not just anyone" can do it. Hes doing it bc
A)he had years of training that jus tneeded to be chiseled out (you gotta have some muscularity)
B) He had the mental toughness to diet, and get in GREAT shape. He just doesnt have abs, hes really starting to push/redline. Many just diet till they have ABS, and think they are ready until they embarass themeleves.
