If Flex magazine was rattling the tin cup for him, I figured he had to be in pretty dire straits with those medical bills. Especially thanks to the draconian new bankruptcy laws passed by the corporate whores in Congress. Anyone know how's he getting by these days?

Someone should have had a heart-to-heart talk with Mike about the importance of health insurance

Didn't heart disease (or something like that) run in the family? Talk about pressing his luck anyway.

I used to see Mike in the gym all the time. Real nice guy. Good sense of humor... always took time to sign autographs & answer questions. I wish him the best.

I read in flex he used to do debt collecting - I don't know if he was breaking thumbs down on the docks like Rocky Balboa, but I got the impression that it was for loan sharks or some other sinister operation . . .

240 is Back · « **Reply #9 on:** May 08, 2006, 06:52:48 PM »

they don't make bailbondsmen like this anymore.

Can anyone name the character and the movie?

240 is Back · « **Reply #10 on:** May 08, 2006, 06:55:21 PM »

and the name of the character he played?

Didn't you blow my mind this time?

Hey 240, Has Lee, Rhino or Vince offered to bodyguard you at the PDI Show, with all of this nonsense from Chick, it may not be a bad idea.

I have that covered

i feel safe in every BBing environment. With all the laughter and insightful thinking that I bring to this arena, I am sure I'll be welcomed with open arms, but my friends and adversaries alike!

240 I bring 2 guns everywhere I go.

My left biceps, and my right biceps.

does anybody know what a standard Weider contracts pays? seriously

Mike is actually doing great. He has a new wife, a baby, and is making a pretty decent living as a bail bondsman. If you think a Weider contract is big money, you are mistaken. They dropped him like a hot potato when he became ill...no loyalty.

I'm shocked - shocked! - to hear that Joe Weider screwed over a bodybuilder.
