IFBB suspends the NPC - discussion and updates

[stuntmovie]

Only got through reading page one of this topic and although it somewhat pertains .... it is not precisely correct.

And who the hell changed the title of my post to "Re: IFBB suspends the NPC - discussion and updates." 

I honestly had no idea about that notice/proclamation/ or whatever it is that it is official known as  .... although it does seem to make sense out of what is shortly gonna happen.

Now to read page two and see if any GetBigger is precisely correct.

You guys who have a short attention spans should ask your mommy or your daddy to help you out or....  simply just don't  read anything by this guy called stuntmovie.

He writes long shit in order to make it clear and as precise as possible.

Respectfully stated of course.

[stuntmovie]

Nope, so far nothing as good as an accurate guess.

So, VINCE, spell it out and I'll let you know if you are correct or not!

Or send me a message and I'll let  ya know.

If you do not know and swear that you can keep a secret ... I'll spell it out for ya privately .....

Only because you are the one, main GetBigger who will actually be super-interested.

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 is great news if true. I hope this means they will be just as stingy as Europe. Pro shows these days are TORTURE to sit through when half of the people should have never been given a pro card

[stuntmovie]

AZJURE, not correct though no matter how happy it would make you feel.

Good idea though.

Would one of you mods please change the title of this post back to the original way I wrote it.

Awww man. One can only hope. I told my friends that I will support 1-2 shows per year. I'm always in if they do the Olympia bc who doesn't want a trip to Vegas! A lot have stopped competing because too many competitors and getting overlooked in calloufs so no trips for me.

[stuntmovie]

AZURE, I think you just might be excited anyway!

[tres_taco_combo]

so... normally to become an IFBB pro, you compete at an NPC national level show and earn top spots and get your IFBB pro card

is that no longer the case?

[stuntmovie]

TACO, Wait and watch !

There has always been a questionable relationship between the amateur IFBB and NPC in the united states.
The IFBB North Americas is judged using NPC judges and NPC scorecards.
It is supposed to be an IFBB event, but is just another one of Manions shows.

I am surprised at this outcome, as this has been going on for a long time.
I am guessing that the amateur arnold is judged by NPC judges as well.

So when is this big announcement happening?

[The Keto Kid]

[IRON CROSS]

Which is common in any* other country than the US.


* or maybe with a few exceptions.

NPC US , could re-join NABBA

An official statement by the NPC should be coming out tomorrow or Monday.  Out of respect for the Olympia today, which is and should be the main attention, they are waiting.

With the NPC now in peril...should Manion grow a Joe Weider mustache? Can somebody please shop one onto him...PLEASE?

[Matt]

My thread with the rude e-mails he sent me got deleted.  That will be the last time I ever send Manion any message just as  courtesy, attempting to clarify something.  I simply wanted to confirm if it was alright to take video footage of individual supplement booths and he said "I highly doubt the vendors will let you take video of their booths."

Yeah, ok - "highly doubt" it?  I've NEVER had a problem taking video footage of supplement booths.  To the contrary, the vendors want the coverage, knowing that YouTube garners a lot of views.  But he just had to use his clout to dissuade me from getting footage, most likely because FLEX magazine is failing brutally at this point, and he hates the fact that YouTube is a big reason for this.

Manion is a big part of the reason why I stopped covering expos.  I didn't want anything to do with him having ultimate say as to whether I could attend an expo or not - the way that he banned John Romano from attending NPC/IFBB shows.

Disgusting, but great work.  I'm disgusted with your work.

If I looked like that, I would probably be as rue as he is too.  I'm pretty sure pros pose for free at his Pittsburgh Pro show because they know it's a chance to kiss up to Manion - so year after year, the guy is saving $3,000 to $5,000 per pro, and probably has half a dozen or a dozen pros posing free of charge.  Talk about stingy, given his salary, overseeing the "non-profit" organization that is the NPC/IFBB.
