Shawn Ray Interview: Kevin Levrone Is Making A Big Mistake

[spiro]

You would think guys like Shawn would be In somewhat decent shape. I don't ever see letting myself go until I'm an old geezer. I thought these guys would really have it In their blood. You don't have to juice to the gills but a little trt and 4-5 days in the gym to feel good. They have amazing genetics right? What a joke. How can you go from being one of the best built men in the world to looking like a soft turd how wouldn't that drive you crazy.

[Fortress]

What some of you claim is less-than-decent shape is also referred to as, no use of anabolic drugs.

Shawn is a 51-year-old man who looks fine. Could he look better?

Sure, but he likely has had his fill of stringent dietary practices, excessively regimented training, etc. And as far as the "goodies", being a smart and measured man, he probably is rejoicing in allowing his endocrine system to restore to as close to a "normal" state as can be expected.

He's secure in who he is and what he has accomplished as a bodybuilder. And why not? The man possessed one of the greatest bodybuilding physiques ever seen on a competition stage.

It's not all drugs, but without the drugs, nothing else means beans. So in a way, yes, it is all drugs.

Ray doesn't care about being snubbed by anyone. He's made an almost-career out of saying what he wants, knowing full well he could be deep-sixing a relationship. Turning people away.

He says what he thinks. And as a bodybuilder, he walked the walk.

Shawn Ray is one of bodybuilding's truest champions.

Well said.  He's always been one of my favorites.

[TRIX]

Kevin better get back home and get into his routine, dude is travelling around the world atm.

[Griffith]

The other competitors worst nightmare is probably to be beaten by Kevin Levrone, a guy who was out of serious training for 10 years.

If the IFBB want him back for publicity, maybe he will get a respectable place?

You never know, he could come back in terrific condition, and surprise everyone.

oh brother

terrible post

fuck you're pathetic

[SquatsRule]

It's obvious that Shawn was butt hurt over Kevin skipping the interview. If he had let Ray interview him, Ray would be supporting his decision.

are you saying ray is a fair weather friend?

[Azure]

Or at least pretended to on camera and then talked shit behind his back. It all seemed to go back to Kevin not speaking with him first and giving Shawn the exclusive. I don't blame Kevin for not talking to him.

[falco]

While I hate to ever agree with this miserable little troll, he's right but did anyone see how he still managed to insert himself into the discussion.

Kevin didn't give him an interview
Kevin didn't consult him.
He's going to get last callout cause that's what happened to him at his first Mr. Olympia

All about Shawn Shawn Shawn...Some things will not change.

Is Shawn Ray adopted? He craves so much attention...

[RagingBull]

Levrone will probably not get close to the condition he had the last 2 years of his career when he had a weak back and legs.  Cut to many moons later at which time he probably will not be able to replicate the condition he had a few years short of retiring.

[Ronnie Rep]

Agree with Shawn 100%. Kevin will not achieve the condition he was in at the 2003 O, which was his worst and last showing. He will be 52 when he steps on stage, with about 6 months of serious training, after 12 years of light if any training at all. Anyone in their 50's on here knows you can't replicate what you looked like in your 20's and 30's in your 50's. I don't care how good his genetics and response to gear is, it just ain't happening. I sa y he bows out and never steps on the O stage to be judged.

[Fortress]

oh brother

terrible post

fuck you're pathetic

And you're severely emotionally compromised having read a post that, a) doesn't mirror your opinions, and b) is beyond your capacity to distill.

Your thin skin and weakness is what's pathetic.

[Papper]

It can be a great PR move for Kevin

They should do a Pumping Iron style documentary of his return to the stage. Could be an epic one, whether he places good or not.

[Fuzzy Nuts]

Is Shawn Ray adopted? He craves so much attention...

Yes. I believe he was adopted by Boyer Coe.

[Fortress]

Yes. I believe he was adopted by Boyer Coe.

Boyer's a nice guy ... who has/(had?) a real bad toop.

[240 is Back]

this is all new to me.   BUT I doubt he's actually going to compete.   Generate a ton of interest, be the story of the year...

but competing at pro level in 2016?   It's not like guys can come back in 6 weeks like Arnold 1980 anymore.

[Papper]

No matter how you twist it, this is quite bitter from Shawn. He always seems to be a little bit bitter to me.

Just getting on stage, Kevin would get such standing ovations and cheers, that alone could be worth it for someone like Kevin who likes performing. I don't think people understand this.

His legacy is set no matter what he does. Or do you think Ronnie is less awesome at his peak, because of how he looks today? No.

[old-school-lifter]

This is exactly what Anthony used to say....Anthony D'Arezzo....and here is was the day before his show and this picture is frozen in time as 5 minutes after it was taken, he died





Kevin is making a huge mistake

what did this D"arezzo die from?

And...
If Kevin gets on stage and blown away, said competitors can say "I beat Kevin Levrone", that is something that will tarnish his legacy.

Well, I guess Shawn Ray does still post on Getbig.

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

what did this D"arezzo die from?

heart attack from stimulants and diuretics.  Ignored every warning from doctors.

[Kahn.N.Singh]

A cardiac arezzo.

[Tha Grim Lifter]

heart attack from stimulants and diuretics.  Ignored every warning from doctors.

Doctors just want to stop a man from being huge
