They are not announcing the top prize money which. Is why Martinez who would probably win it isn’t going to compete. No one is risking a kidney for an unknown top prize

Yeah early to mid 2000's Gary looked great. Looked a little weird in the face, as if he had a facelift ans a new hairline.

But he had to be damn near 50 then. He's probably 60 something now? He's on social media too but hasn't posted a current pic in a loooong time.

He's in Thailand too. Maybe he crossed ~~swords~~ paths with Leo before his untimely demise.

Would be cool to watch. But they need to up that prize money, 250k spread among the divisions isn’t near enough to pull some of those guys out of retirement.

hell of a toll on the body getting ready for a show in your old age, your body becomes less forgiving as you age, doing that show could reduce your lifespan by a year or two at a time when you're running out of years. There will always be one or two that will push then envelope which means all will have too to stay competitive.

250k divided by 10 divisions......not just solely on men's bodybuilding.....which amounts to chump change when you take into consideration the money competitors will spend on gear, food, and last but not least......traveling accommodations to Fukin Romania......who the hell would watch that shitshow of retired old bodybuilders coming off the couch/wheelchair to fly to Romania for a show that the promoter.....has no experience in doing....lol. Read between the lines and get your facts straight before posting next time

Not so good with sarcasm …. Aren’t we.

Horrible idea for a show. Push retired old bb's to gear up hard again

I heard the prize money is around $250.000 ( increasing as we speak)

Who should enter for an easy payday?

Ronny Rockel
Johnny Jackson
XMan
Priest
The Blade
Cutler
Kai Greene
Victor Martinez
Dennis James
Robby Robinson

Should Kevin Levrone do a guess pose and taste the water for a battle of the Masters in 24'?

Albert Beckles
Samir Bannout
Lou $20 Ferrigno
Lee Haney
frank zane
Dorian
Arnold

That should liven it up - interest wise

Dexter should do it, easy money.

Dexter has been very consistent for so damn long. Always been a fan.

And yeah - that's a really good fucking purse. I'm shocked they're giving 250k for that, tbh. Funnily enough - I would have banked on Levrone if the 2016 comeback didn't show he just couldn't do it anymore.

That purse will pale in comparison to the bedazzled coin purse soon being donned by our favorite geriatric competitors
