The guy has won 8 straight, I think he knows what he is doing. Ron is always out of shape this time of year. That is the secret of his success. When big Ron has a break, he really has a break. I only get him to guest pose around contest time as he is freaky for weeks after a show. The rest of the year you get an off season guest poser, at the end of the day the fans vote with their feet and Ron sells out venues all year round.
