OK, I was exaggerating a bit with "pro career", but damn, he needs way more consistency in order to become competitive.
Str8-4-pay with a wacky black lady might might serve as a nice weekend cheat meal.
Nicest thing anyone's said to me on Getbig maybe ever.
Meanwhile, I guess it depends on what Antoine's goals are. Who knows if he even still wants to compete. At the moment he's doing pretty well as an Andy Haman type - crazy outfits, ridiculous videos, recognizable face, traveling on someone else's dime, getting paid to lift, joke around, and wear an Animal shirt. Plus, if he's not in hardcore contest prep during the year like most, he's probably pocketing a lot more money than a lot of dudes, spending less on las drogas.
I would love to see him kick ass on stage too, but anyone with a good head on their shoulders knows no one is really MAKING any money JUST by competing, so if he's found a way to take home a check and cut out the competition part altogether, maybe good for him? He looks happier than a lot of pros, I'll tell you that. He's having a blast, he's got a partner he fancies, he's still bigger than the average bro, and he can sometimes eat indian food because he doesn't have some kind of "
x weeks out" calendar. Jose Raymond is a good example of the opposite.
