Vince Basile allegedly fixed the 1970 Mr. Canada then fled to Austraila to use his fame to start up a gym empire. And now he calmly posts as a senile old man on Getbig to avoid suspicion much like Vincent "The Chin" Gigante and Corrado Soprano.

He's a sneaky one this Vince, but I do believe we cracked the case :).

Even after you got your precious blue stars there were many who scoffed at the standard you set.

Goodrum has pretty big arms if you take off the blinders, its just that his arm is really long from shoulder to elbow

I have that same problem as well.

I used to make fun of him for getting up there but the fact is bodybuilding is about improving yourself, Vince may not have the best genetics for winning competitions but he def did his best with what he had and improved each time he stepped onstage or tried to get in shape.

So if you are going to post that pic and laugh at him at least post the ones at later shows where he did beat that look(hardly a competitive physique but not really bad considering he was a novice and not on any really gear wise at all, especially since he is a natural endomorph

I am not laughing at him. Just saying that many on Getbig posted that he didn't deserve them. Several of us argued that he competed and even won a trophy so deserved them.

I was in a contest that was fixed against me thanks to Arnold and Paul Graham.

There was no gym empire here in Australia. Bad business to be in as there are too many gyms today.

"I picked 15 judges but 13 were there. Ken Rivard got 5 and I got 8 first place votes. I picked intelligent, independent, experienced and unbiased people

More Mr. Canada 1970 tidbits -

Vince admits Chuck Sipes was a (paid?) guest poser -

Post 60 -

"Chuck Sipes was the guest poser. He also put on a strongman display where he bent a steel spike and a steel bar. He had the announcer read out some hype while he was doing his feats. He bent a 6 inch nail by wrapping a small towel around it. Then presto, one bend and it was U-shaped. He then tossed the spike to the audience where it was passed around. Several of us went out and bought steel nails to see how we could go. The 6 inch nail was fairly easy but in fairness to Chuck, he bent it much quicker than any of us. I was able to bend a 7 inch nail after some practice"


Vince had a bone to pick with the second place winner -

Post 69 - "Ken Rivard was a loner. I don't know his background but I used to hang around English Bay Beach in Vancouver and Ken was there occasionally. I knew him from the gym so we were mates. Somehow he turned on me before the Mr Canada and acted rather cocky and ruthless. I would have helped him with his posing but he dismissed me. Things like that got to me and inside I wanted to show him."

Vince was Ray Beck's right hand man -

Post 65 -

"Here is the article published in Muscle Builder around 1970. Bob should shake his sorry head but I guess his toupee might fall off! LOL. What does he know about bodybuilding history?

Ray Beck didn't write that article but I did. I put Ray's name there so I wouldn't sound like a big head. I wasn't paid for the article or the photos which cost me something."

Post 77 -


"Ray Beck didn't have much money to promote the contest properly and I think he lost money on the show. Heck, he had to pay the IFBB a big fee, in those days, just to stage the contest. Roz and I helped Ray
with the contest and I was working for Ray at the time in one of his gyms. Would you believe he asked me to select the judges! That wasn't easy. I had to find guys who were independent, honest and who had integrity. I picked two guys I knew well."

Blue stars are not important. What is interesting is Ron's stake in all of this. Look at the mess that won't go away.

Neither will admit they are related. Denying something on the net isn't proof that they aren't related.

No matter what, you picked your own judges. Goodrum did not.

What is it with Getbig that I don't have Blue Stars? Other people deserve them, too, for competing but alas, no Blue Stars. It is about time I got them. I don't accept the excuse that I competed too long ago. It wasn't that long ago and besides a title is something no one can take away from me

It is about time :)
