Remember back in the early 2000's the buzz about Dex Jackson? He was often times compared to Shawn Ray (everytime I type his last name, I type "Rat"), not on stage, but that he consistently came in shredded...only a few times was he compared to Shawn outright...then he steadily made "progress", in the mags...and with supp companies, and then Silvio started having the same success, going from a also ran bbing model in Musclemag to legit threat at 2nd tier shows, and the list goes on, to Evan, to Branch
who really makes these decisions? Supp companies, or the "powers that be", or is it some cabal consisting of supp companies, bbing promoters, business insiders, and judges?
