Are you serious does he really have that?J
"Joe Weider has been raised from the dead"
HE'll live forever as long as men..... and or women lift weights...
yeah , Dickerson was his mr.o '80
Lets also throw in the real elephant in the room.....since the addition of all these crazy categories these shows have become a cash cow for promoters with all the entrant fees, family buying tickets etc.That kind of cash always creates division between percieved master and minion
The NPC has always been the feeder system for the IFBB. I think the problems could be traced back to when the NPC started giving out pro cards to more competitiors---winners of each weight class. And I think they even went further than that. This created less quality in the Pro ranks, but the NPC then saw that they would have more competitors compete for each weight class. Along with adding Divisions for the women, and a few more for men. Then they started seeing the resulting cash flow, and so they continued more. Greed is the root of it all.
Some of the bigger NPC shows hand out more than 100 pro cards I think that one recently in Pittsburgh bragged about more than 150. Definitely a dilution going on.
It means that any NPC show can no longer give professional qualifications to competitors to become an IFBB pro. More than likely the IFBB is planning to create and build up their amateur division.
This was the ceremony before the trophy presentation at Vince's apartment on Manly Beach I guess NSFWhttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JR0N5OKJJWw/RmjyQpaUCNI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/R9vb5N_TfoQ/s1600/__hr_Dickerson%2301.jpg
