Flex and Shawn were always talking ish about one another. Remember Shawn said Flex had calf implants, and that stuck...and then he admitted on here, that he said it to get in Flex's head.
Both have taken shots at one another. On Flex's first vid, Hardbody, Flex was pressing 125 or 150 pound dumbbells and said that one of those weighs as much as Shawn Ray. He then says, "Shawn you my ninja!"
He then proceeds to press said dumbbells, drops them and then says, "And just like those dumbbells I'm gonna press your ass come the Olympia."
No Shawn was always talking shit about everybody , the difference between Flex and Shawn was , Flex could back it up. Shawn never could. Shawn predicted in 1991 that he was going to beat Haney and stop him dead in his tracks from beating Arnold's record and by doing this it would some how cement him as one of the greatest of all time by doing this

he was 5th in 1991 lol He talked about he was going to beat Dorian , how Ronnie shouldn't have won in 1998

Flex was being kind by responding and reminding him where he fit in the pecking order
Shawn fancied himself a boxer and tried to play mind games like Ali , again the difference was Ali could back his shit up , Shawn couldn't. He convinced himself he was something he wasn't and that was exceptional and his competitive record says otherwise. Flex Wheeler was everything Shawn likes to pretend to be.
