Everyone in bodybuilding says Tom Prince had a boat load of knowledge about the game of bodybuilding...How come he hasn't done anything in bodybuilding now that he's retired competitively? Like a line of supplements or Website forums etc?
Tom knows how to:
Bully people online, and if someone questions his intelligence, he trots out his BA in English and supposed MA (plus the fact that he "taught classes" ... wooooo!). For an English major, it's amazing how poorly the dude wrote.
Alienate folks via sheer arrogance. He was fond of saying that, if you were to move into the apartment complex in which he lived (Killer Craig T supposedly lived around there, too), you'd apparently have to present yourself before him and "do the compulsories."
As gay as that sounds, that he even jokingly suggested he had input on who his neighbors might be vis-a-vis muscles just speaks to how fucking CRAZY he was.
Back in the Mayhem days, he was also fond of lampooning less muscular people. Per his "brilliant" (read: completely shit) logic, he figured that since he was a pro, and "pro's" (dunno where the possessive comes from; if plurality is intended, the apostrophe should follow the S) seem to know all, Tommy's every word was unassailable unless you were more muscular than he
Aside: I guess his English program didn't include some basic logic courses like mine did *shrugs*Of course, eventually the dumb fuck tried to use drugs and compete again after his doctor told him not to and his family urged him to quit. Yay, pop!
But at the very least, we had the good fortune of, as Prince said, "Ronnie Coleman busting my balls onstage," with Ronnie calling out something like, "Hey, Tom, Ise thought you wuz suppost te be natarul?!"
Thank Prince for that. That Colemanism is worth remembering, right up there with "nuttin' but uh peanut" and "eveybodeh wanna be a bahdebilduh, buh aihn't nobady wanna liff no heffy azz waaaay't"
