I don't trust Lee Thompson any further than I can throw him. But I hope he destroys Manion and the NPC as he goes out guns blazing, that's for sure!
I don't see why they're so scared. He was a high up in the iFBB so if there was shady mess going down then he was a part of it too. The only way I see people defecting to Lee is if the prize money is exponentially more and if people start to get real mainstream opportunities. Both are unlikely.
Sounds to me like It will mainly be a ton of delusional bikini and men's physique "athletes"
The prize money this year at the Olympia was unfair. The only person who got a raise was Mr.Olympia and that wasn't a physique that was worthy of a 100K raise. They could have given more money to the 212, figure, and wpd.
