Gary,

Any regrets going to WBF? I know it put alot of money in the pockets of people like you and Jimmy Quinn but it seems it hurt alot of you when some came back to the IFBB.

Also thanks for being thick skinned and putting up with some of the ass clowns here...

You think to highly of The Tank

Gary won 5 IFBB pro shows , John never won any , he had a good physique but nothing exceptional
I believe he won the Niagara Falls Pro in 94, I had thd Ironman magazine which featured that yrs NOC and Niagara Falls Pro...
Shawn Ray only won 1 or 2---there are many paths to Rome. Winning shows, depending on the competition available, and placing in the top five or top 6 in shows for many yrs (like Shawn Ray), winning a ton of shows, but never winning the big one (like Vince Taylor, Levrone, and Flex), or winning multiples of major shows (like Flex and the Arnold/Ironman, and Chris Cormier and the Ironman).

Gary is good people....classic Getbig idiots.  You have a bodybuilding legend like Gary here, and do nothing but throw out  bullshit and talk like a bunch of retards...

He's traveled the world, been a part of BB history, and has lots of great stories about his competitive days against some of the best BBers in the world...

man...I would have given anything to have had the opportunity to dialogue with Arnold, Franco, Park, Reeves, Zane, and all the greats I grew up looking at in the muscle mags. 

Some of you really  need to re evaluate why you exist and waste precious time on a BB forum...

True, about the ones highlighted. This all started when Blockhead states that Gary was one of the all time greatest, and was legendary...he's not that...
Nor mentioning him in the same post with Arnold, Zane, Reeves and Park...those are legends. Gary is and always will be a footnote. Furthermore, if a dude gonna show up, and talk like he is "legendary", ain't anybody gonna fold and be like "Oh Gary, how awesome!", and then change our tune, at least we are
consistent. At least you can say that about us.
And if that is Gary, damn dude sounds like a 15 yr old---I guess it's true, bbing is for those wo have a problem growing up.

I'm not comparing Gary with the names I mentioned...point was...that those were the names I grew up with and would haves LOVED to have been able to dialogue with them...you guys have had many opportunities to do so with plenty of greats like Lee Haney, Rich Gaspari, Shawn Ray, Dorian, Ronnie,  LeVrone, etc....and plenty of bona fide legends on sites like Shawn Perines...

Unfortunately...here are few here who have ever even seen the inside of a gym, much less, have any real interest in BB....or the history of the sport.

First before anything this is a bodybuilding board.  You have one of the biggest legends in the game and you guys talk smack about him.  No wonder as big as this board is that no pro wants to be a part of it.   Gary was at one point the number one bodybuilder in the world regardless of what federation he competed in.  On top of it he was a fantastic business man who made big money when the other top guys were living in poverty.

He never won a show , he placed second to Henderson Thorne at that show.

I see your point but gary is not making anything better, acting like a retard and calling out other forum members, he is going as low as anybody else. Imo he is asking for more shit (and he is getting it). He should show some class, like Phil when he is around here, or else he is just another getbigger and he is going to get treated like one.

No , no , John Sherman never won a pro show and the contest Parker thought John won , it was actually Henderson Thorne who won it ( Niagara Pro 1994 )

Robert,

Point taken but Mr Strydom seemed to be rather angry that people had criticised his back and was talking a little bit of smack himself... This is tantamount to holding up a red rag to a bull on here.

I always like Garys physique but I think my man Jeff King would have buried him if circumstances were different back in the day for Jeff.

Circumstances were that your boy didn't want to test himself against the best in the world...amateur or pro. 

Would've loved to have seen him, as well as other " uncrowned champs" ...on stage with the other best in the business...
