true

why do they even have press conferences?

I dont think anyone wants to see half asleep bodybuilders say "Im in shape and hope to place in the top 5"

The Mr. Olympia Press Conferences from 97-2002 were the shit. Shawn Ray used to show everyone how to dress in a suit, and Flex used to show everyone how he admired Sergio Oliva's fashion sense.

Yeah, Ronnie Looked like A mix of Killer Croc wearing The Joker's Zoot Suit.

Look at the 97-2000 Press Conferences, Flex looked like a up to date version of Sergio, the way the suits looked, like they were a remix of the late 60s-early 70s, but with a late 90s, early 2000s spin. And Chris Cormier got in on it. He once wore a suit jacket with a shiny red butterfly collar shirt that was opened at the top (1998). Matt Matarazzo wore some type of burlap looking creation in 1998.

Paco looks.. green. Actually he doesn't wear what all the other competitors are wearing, doesn't look that bad imo (no homo).

It was 91 in south FL today

Ron · « **Reply #16 on:** July 17, 2010, 12:01:15 AM »

91 degrees and you are complaining. It was 113 degrees here in Vegas at 9pm tonight. Have fun and enjoy Tampa, and the four IFBB pro contests tomorrow.

Cool pics Isaac, wish I was there, but gotta take care of business here in Vegas.

Two more weeks to go before I come back to Vegas again for the NPC USAs.

Hide looks prime to win this contest.

Yates was in a suit and looked like a mobster at the 97 olympia press conference. There is a pic of him staring at Flex as Flex revealed the "Ninja story"

I suppose the cameramen, photographers, and magazine writers are simply there for their health.

Besides, who needs ESPN? In this age of the Internet and Facebook, people would rather get the results immediately, instead of waiting three to six months for ESPN to air severely-edited footage of bodybuilding contests, as it did back in the days of American Muscle. And, you can watch the shows online, instead of waiting until the wee hours of the morning (again, MONTHS after the contest took place).

"press" means media........papers, magazines, television,

"press" in this case does not mean...........2 guys from bodybuilding magazines, and a bodybuilding photographer

i shouldnt have to explain this to you

as press conference is where media outlets cover a story for a event to be translated to the general public

no one in south flordia will be covering this event from any ACTUAL press

this serves more as a "meet the competitors" event
