[balzac]

So who would you like to see interviewed next?

kim tamali

[DroppingPlates]

Tony ..
Please ask Phil why he is such a c*nt?
Making him self sound better than Arnold..
Not even in the same zipcode..
He sounded so stupid just even bringing Arnold's name up..
 

Say whatever you want about Phil, but his legs > Ahnuld's toothpicks. He's free to express whatever he wants, just like we do.

it's not a discussion about free speech fyi, you seem confused about that

[DroppingPlates]

"social media makes bigger tools out of people." ha, that's a creative twist. I think it depends, you can abuse it for blatant self promotion or to share interesting or fun stuff, just like most Getbiggers do. It's not about the tools, it's about someone's intentions. When you want to know someone better, then figure out his/her true intentions...

[SGT BARNES]

tried to listen to phils self absorbed bullshit.
About the 10th time he contradicts himself by saying "im humble but im the best and gonna act that way" i was out

this dude has serious self confidence issues (and width)

[Alucard]

For those that watched this one, you will see where I am heading. Not the average interview about chicken and rice, set or reps or boring shit.

So who would you like to see interviewed next?

Paul Dillett... From freak of all freaks to WBFF ceo and president... But i agree with Dropping Plates and SGT BARNES here, Heath just always act like an insecure idiot, i don't know him, but still, someone may find very hard to believe that he's completely different in private... Too many times he stepped out of line...

would personally like to see Cedric interviewed too, ifbb pro while still working in the army etc
not sure if he's left the army now, be good to hear if he thinks he can be successful on stage while still working full time if he still is.

x2.

This has absolutely nothing to do with free speech. People who think the issue has to do with whether or not Phil has the right to express himself have missed the whole argument made against Phil regarding his comment.

[Teutonic Knight]

Interview with Priest about his Nabba financial "success" would be interesting 

[Irongrip400]

Hey Tony, go fuck yourself you ass clown.

Tony I watched about 5 minutes.  I don't get why Phil comes across so poorly online. He's great in person. He really needs to channel his in person energy online instead of focusing it on HATERS. if you're his friend then you need to tell him the haters stuff and all of this is pointless.

He's well spoken, personable and charismatic. He should challenge THAT

What you saw when Tony interviewed him was a fake persona, something he puts on during more intimate interviews. Listen to any Phil interview--hes always nice and respectful. But when all is said and done, you see the real Phil shine through on the internet. Remember, he is being interviewed by someone, so he has to look good. When he is home, he can fire back at all the haters. That is when you see the real Phil!

Honestly I am wondering how many of the people have the most to say about him have ever met him?  Part of me can see that he's disingenuous but a large part of that is insecurity.  I picked that up right off the bat...which is why I don't think he's a total ASSHOLE.

I just think these internet people go right through to his deepest insecurities.

I don't get douche as much as I get insecure cornball dork which is very endearing...he could play to that.  People would eat it up.  He needs me on his PR Team.  LOL.

We dont need to meet him to form an opinion. His constant bickering and arguing with fans speaks volumes.

I think it makes a difference.

I was just the same as most of the others. I didn't like him either and rooted against him because I just found him to be so irritating and unlikeable but I changed my mind.  Like I said I picked up on the insecure thing from JUMP.  IT's obvious he puts on because he wants attention and for people to like him.  So these people making fun of him and making rude remarks really gets to him.  I almost feel bad for him.

I watched him with fans and he was so nice to people.  THey loved it.  He talked to each person and was very personable. 

Part of the issue is that I don't think he's as into BODYBUILDING as maybe some of the others were.  For many of these guys they have lived and breathed bodybuilding for years.  Seems like he kind of fell into it and he just doesn't have the frame of reference nor the same passion for it.  Idk.

I think it's funny you all are discussing exactly what I noticed yesterday and was talking with others about.

[240 is Back]

Tony, ask Phil why he was stepping in front of the line like this? Clearly, Branch Warren, who is on the opposite end, is on the line. This is not photoshop. There were people at the Mr. O who confirmed this.

that's not 'gamesmanship'.  that's cheating.

The issue is that practically every famous person received shit these days via social medias. They know how to "roll with it." Its in their best interest. Sometimes they fire back, but Phil makes a habit of it.

Part of me thinks that people only started to mess with him because of his shitty attitude. The disdain toward him had to come from somewhere. It just didnt originate out of "thin air." He only has to blame himself because of his piss poor attitude. Sure, he is successful, but he will also be recognized as the most disliked Mr. O. And you know this gets to him.

Its reasons like this that people dislike him. His choice to cheat. Everyone is on the line but Phil Cheath

[SF1900]

I am not too sure why this was pointed out and he was told to step on the line. Weird that the judges would let him get away with it.

he also initiated a physical confrontation with kai greene, by being 1 foot closer to kai than he should have been.  Acting all upset when kai's hair winged him.  If he's standing on his own "X", it doesn't happen.

Just stick with the rules, competitors, and it's a fair show.  Stand closer...in a judging where more size helps?

 i mean, did we let Shaq move up 2 steps for free throws, so he'd be closer?

The judges let  him get away with it because its Phil. Plain and simple. I bet most other competitors would have been told to stay on the line.

I am sure Phil would have won either way, but its still not right from a sportsmanship POV.

Imagine Ronnie Rockel smiling and telling the judges he'd like to stand a foot closer to look a little bigger.

Lee Haney never focussed on the haters, he didnt have any.

Funny that.

I'm sure he did have detractors but you're right he didn't focus on it

Honestly he should look to Haney as a mentor and model for how to conduct yourself as a true professional. He should probably spend time with him and look to him as an influence if he wants to take it to the next level.
