Manlet's Beef is on !!

[Palumboism]

+ taking himself seriously while doing so, I might add. That's what makes it so funny for observers

There's a perfectly logical explanation for everything that happened in that video.   

Manlets going to manlet. 

[Bevo]

ok,so italian name gaetano shortened yes is usually guy or gary ,its said in jersey like guy'tano,im sure in italian dialect it would sound like ;gay'tano ,,,long story short i went to school with a gaetana and we called her 'gay'

And not one can speak a lick of Italian 

[Matt]

they walked past him laughing at something that had nothing to do woth him.
He just wanted a way out of his set.

Geez.

I thought maybe there was some context I was missing here.

Yeah, Gaetano takes his training seriously because it's his "job", but the gym doesn't belong to him.

Just under basic rules of gym etiquette, I can't justify that. Again - unless I'm missing something.

I just wish he would spell it Gae, so as to not confuse it for the French name Guy.

Maybe I say this as a Canadian who was in French Immersion who had a friend named Guy - and maybe this wouldn't matter as much in the USA, unless you were in Louisiana. But I asked one of the who BSN girls where Guy was - pronouncing it the French way that rhymes with E, and she had no clue who I was talking about.

Like HOLY FUCK, dumb bitch - you know a GUY, and I'm asking to find me a GI. How difficult must it be to find a person with one syllable name starting with G?

If he shortened his name to Gae, it would end that confusion, because Guy [rhymes with E] is a real name.

As you mentioned, if he spelled his name Gae, people would pronounce it 'Gay'.

In Italian, Gaetano is pronounced 'Guy-tanno'.

I said it before. Ray is speaking the truth about jeopardizing your health with bodybuilding drugs. He is hated for pointing out the Emperor has no clothes on.

Totally.  Someone in another thread nailed it - it's projection of their fears - I bet the ones making most noise, like Gino Manletto above, are the ones most afraid of taking a peek into their arteries and actually confronting their current real state of health.  And then 'going to war' with their arterial plaque and hypertension!

It's that Bostin Loyd/Ostrich thing of 'I feel fine, ergo, I must be fine'... tell that to Meadows/Rhoden/Muscle/et al...

[Palumboism]

Manlet of peace.

Manlet of peace.

That's true - maybe I'm just bewildered at how one of the BSN booth girls was like "WHO? YOU MEAN GUY?" [rhymes with I]

She almost seemed offended that I asked for Guy [response with E].

On this topic, it's Kevin Levrone, rhymes with baloney], right?

When I first read about Kev in 2001, I thought it was Kevin Levrone, rhymes with Stallone.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

How many different men is Guy going to call his best friend? Dude needs a girlfriend in a bad way. The next person who drops dead in the industry will most likely be Guy's best friend.

Hmm...

Joe Pesci has disappeared from cinema.

Maybe the great lesson of this thread is that we as a society are no longer afraid of Italian midgets?

"it was at that point Guy realised he wasnt on the Internet"

"it was at that point Guy realised he wasnt on the Internet"

joswift, what do you think of Guy's greying beard?

[affeman]

"it was at that point Guy realised he wasnt on the Internet"

LMAO

Levrone, in his English pronunciation of the Italian, would rhyme with balony.

Both Stallone and Levrone in Italian would end with a hard 'eh'.

Stall-ohn-eh, Lev-roh-neh.

This. Why so many Italian-Americans gotta have that fake Jersey accent when they can’t speak a word of Italian?

[IroNat]

Hes a little midget that won't do shit.

I should respond back to his reply.

just havne't thought of anything witty enough to push him off the edge.

"F*ck off" would be appropriate.

[IroNat]

What was the problem here?

They were laughing which affected his "warrior mindset".  His test level took a nosedive.

Agreed, dude is a complete joke!  If he's as tough as he thinks he is, why doesn't he enter a rough n rowdy event?  My guess is that he would want NOTHING to do with anyone in his own weight class, as they would completely tower over him and beat the brakes off of his ass in front of 5,000+ people!

[residue]

Bet he drives one of those huge trucks, like...

nah he's from nj, it's prob a camaro or a mustang

Ray was absolutely reasonable there, one of his more mellow interviews actually. The only minor quibble could be him saying Rhoden had addiction issues, but it depends on how you look at it. Rhoden admitted having an alcohol problem in the past, and all the drugs that come along with bodybuiilding could be seen as an addiction.

Cisternino and a lot of these guys are just cry babies now. The sport professionally just needs to admit that there is a deadliness to it, much like fighting, mountain climbing, racing, etc..., and get on with things.

Agreed, this was pretty good interview.  It's too bad Dave was pressured to take it down.
