Another update (although just early days) but there is some talk among the two key players at 5% Nutrition that the business marketing focus of 5% will be a lot more on "inspirational recovery" and "never give up the fight" type marketing. So as and when we see Rich being rehabilitated in the coming weeks, this will be the new focus (to some extent like what we kind of saw with Ronnie and Levrone). Sounds a bit callous to be thinking about the business, and the focus is still of course in Rich's health, but the marketing and PR stuff is already being thought about (making the best of a bad situation / any publicity is good publicity) etc.

So for example, we may still see Rich at booths, with Rich sitting and shaking hands in a wheelchair for the time-being, but with lots of video footage of him in his prime, and still with the 5% crew there, including a few handicapped ones.

Also, there are rumors that Rich will be a vegetable. This is not the case at all, but as I said he may not have 100% full body movement and slightly slurred speech.

More updates when I get them. Stay tuned.

Is this karma for using the N word?

I think that's what Shawn "Whiny Bitch" Ray insinuated.

Tell me, what's the profit of reminding them of this when they are on death's door? You just wanna prove/gloat that you're right, right? Well then, let's give you five f.ucking gold stars, so you can shut your f.ucking trap and go home to your most likely miserable life.

Because it's what he would have wanted. He was nothing if not 100% 5%, 24/7/365 - softening with niceties disgraces his legacy.

It's very likely that Rich Piana has "enjoyed" the strongest numbers he would ever have done on youtube / insta / supps purchases, in the last week.

He made front page news in many countries.  Even the little update from the girlie made it frontpage news on news.com.au in Australia (they love a dude like Piana).

Hey, Prime, old friend. Still alive, cool. That's really something.

No one's mistaking TMZ for legit journalism, but an important element is missing here that SOMEONE over there should've noticed before posting. I'm in bold, duh:


"Cops were called to Piana's Florida home at 1:30 PM on Monday after the 46-year-old social media sensation suddenly collapsed in his bathroom while getting a haircut from his girlfriend, Chanel. Piana's girlfriend says she tried to catch the former Mr. California bodybuilding champ when he collapsed but couldn't due to his massive size and weight. Chanel told officials Piana struck his head during the fall. The 911 operator instructed Chanel to perform CPR but she was UNABLE TO REVIVE HIM."

(Ok, "unable to revive" means he's dead at this point. Yes?)

"When emergency personnel arrived, paramedics found crushed up white powder on a table along with a credit card and straw and decided to give Rich 2 doses of Narcan (often used to treat opiate overdoses) TO TRY AND REVIVE HIM."

(So, no pulse the entire time she's CPRing, waiting for paramedics. 5-10 minutes, maybe? No idea how long they usually take. But now that we're into the juicy subplot - DRUGS! - all we get is "TRY and revive him" to wrap up our original narrative. Well, did they succeed? Still dead or no? Because that's kinda fucking important.)

"Chanel told responders Rich had battled opiate addiction in the past but she believed he was clean.
Rich NEVER REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma."

(Never woke up, but apparently came back to life while TMZ's all distracted by mysterious powders and paraphernalia. Such amateur bullshit, Levin - proofread. Maybe hire some decent reporters, ya rich bastard. Can't even bother to revive the guy before putting him in a coma?)

"The report notes that police found bottles and bottles of testosterone in the home, 20 in total. Chanel said Rich is an admitted steroid user who's been juicing for more than 20 years. Chanel also noted Rich had suffered from a slightly enlarged heart at one point in his life -- but didn't know if that contributed to the medical emergency."

(Blah, blah, blah, and then ...)

"Chanel says Rich IS STILL ALIVE and fighting -- but has asked for prayers."

(Bet SHE knows how reanimation occurred. If TMZ's too damn inconsiderate to explain, couldn't they at least quote Chanel telling us how he came back? Is anyone else bothered they skipped this part, or am I just supposed to overlook it with oohs and ahhs at drugs being found near a flatlined addict?)

What a miserable, disgusting old pervert. You're not bisexual you queer old fruit loop. You're a homosexual who was too much of a coward to come out of the closet, so you hid your disgusting phag shit behind your wife's back.

You're no hero, just a coward, liar, and a phaggot

Unable to revive can also mean unable to regain a conscious state.

Revive:

intransitive verb
:  to return to consciousness or life :  become active or flourishing again
transitive verb
1
:  to restore to consciousness or life
2
:  to restore from a depressed, inactive, or unused state :  bring back
3
:  to renew in the mind or memory

BEST POST FOR THE 504 CREW.

Thank You to The Ugly for breaking it down for these serfs. They just don't get it. They were too preoccupied with 3rd grade humour and trying to fill Robin Williams' spot at the Comedy Factory.

Day 5 and Rich Piana is STILL DEAD.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the laws on keeping a dead body in a hospital?

5 days is excessive.

Once pronounced dead they tag em and bag em.

Rich doesn't have keep me in the hospital 5 days after I'm dead money,  let alone having a team smart enough to pull strings behind the scenes .

Ok, wasn't aware. Not as medical jargon, anyway. But maybe like how a punchdrunk prize fighter is "revived" between rounds with ammonia?

Still, pretty sure 911's not having folks CPRed for not waking up. He had no pulse is why, and we're never told how or when it was restored.

COULD'VE been Narcan, paramedics with more effective CPR, maybe they used defibs? Thing is, we're only guessing because the "reporter" who HAD this info didn't think to include it.

909, bro.

And I doubt he's dead, only that shoddy journalism can make it read that way. I might wager he's likely brain damaged, but we really can't depend on the info in this article.

Anything more official in this thread? (Haven't yet read every page.)

A 504 Plan is used in the public school system for learning delayed students.

Remember Carrie Fisher? She dropped on that airplane and they were worried about brain damage? You're right about being a vegetative state. I believe he's in it.

Basically this is the same thing. Rich isn't coming out of this. Sad but he's done.

Like I said before, if this was something they could turn into a 5% thing, Kill It, Unstoppable promo...they would. Just like that tattoo'ed guy's "brain bleed"

Day 5 Rich Piana is still DEAD.

When the report said "The 911 operator instructed Chanel to perform CPR..." it sounded like the 911 operator was basing their recommendations on Piana's girlfriend's interpretation of his condition.  Unless his girlfriend has a medical background such as nurse, she, especially in her panicky state, could have misdiagnosed aspects of his condition, even including his pulse status. Plus, 911 operators are like tech support with a recipe of instructions for different scenarios but aren't medical experts.

Thanks for the update, hope he is able to recover!

Rich is a lot more famous than any Mr Olympia of the past well, at least 10 or 20 years. He took a lot of risks, but he did/does his marketing in an excellent way

Possible, I guess. Fairly unreliable report, no question, but so much speculation here to fill the gaps. Too much for me, probably - might make as much sense to pretend there was no report, just create entire scenario from scratch.

Have we even heard the 911 call? Or is this all coming from the one incompetent TMZer, who maybe ONLY talked to this Chanel? Because her story is bullshit from go: haircut, unaware of drugs (dope & straw on counter), 100% natural, "He fell" - total rookie, this one.

One or both were partying. One WAY overpartied. After is anyone's guess. Officially done with Piana now for the rest of his life. (See ya next week!)

Good points. Actual 911 recordings would clear at least some things up.
