I'm listening right now and Dan is saying that you have to count all Shawn Ray's top 5 Olympia finishes and Kamali is saying it means nothing and you are dead silent.

You didn't say anything, Dan is the one that spoke up.


ouch! ;D

I still love ya Chick you're good for the sport IMO!

Chick made a statement on a show that has been cancelled. Whether it was the PDI or IFB or NPC, it is relevant.   Point is, the Vegas show was cancelled; the Florida show was cancelled, and now, the official start of the PDI has been moved to the day before the Night of Champions (I think), in which there is the first amatuer to pro qualifier, and the next night, the Night of Champions.

Don't get testy over the announcement - it seems that it is true. That is it.  Thanks for the information, I think it was mentioned in the latest press release and that is that.

Some people were planning to compete in these shows, so they need to know that they have to wait now.

I don't need a press release...I have email from THEM stating this.

It's as BB releated as it gets...don't shoot the messenger.

Sorry I didn't know Wayne was emailing you stuff.  Just don't let the IFBB guys find out. shhhhhhh!

If the title said... "COLORADO PRO EXPO cancelled" you'd be all over it laughing and saying I TOLD YOU SO...

Probably but I expect that.  But see the thread is about the Expo not the BB show itself.  See these are two different things.  If the expo for the Olympia was cancelled that doesn't mean the show was cancelled.  He is telling people the expo is cancelled.  This was the expo for the new show date as far as I know.  So he is mentioning something that has nothing to do with the other.  But at least he is keeping the pDi threads at top.  Thanks Chic

The expo has everything to do with the show - Wayne already showed that having an expo without a show is a bust (not 240).

You're struggling on this topic Keith. Step away - take a swim - eat some pancakes and revisit it with a clear head.

With the exception of FIBO, an expo needs a center stage event. 

At this point, the Arnold Expo could drop the bodybuilding and fitness contests and no one would notice, but the Olympia - and anything smaller - would not have that luxury. 

The reality that only a few of us are talking about is that there are precious few bodybuilding promoters and even fewer who are willing to take on a new event like PDI.  That being the case, the unfortunate result is that there will be numerous changes to proposed - or even confirmed - schedules.  I don't know who his main people are at this point, but we could end up with a situation where Wayne is the effective promoter of *all* the shows, at least for the first year or two.

The main PPV event for this show is the MMA fight.  That is what is the draw for the PPV not the Expo.  Till I hear it from Wayne I will still defend the honor of the United States and say hail PDI. ;D

Better listen again...I (and Dan) started to chime in, but King kept going, cutting us off....I believe Dan then wernt on to another piece...

Point being, The show wasn't about me debating King on what HIS opinions of Shawn are...

BTW...what does any of this have to do with the PDI/EXPO being canceled?

See now that is wrong aqain.  It was or never was a PDI expo.  It was part of the MMA show.  And so far (according to you) the only thing that got cancelled was the expo not the BB show or MMA show.  And I still want to knwo why Wayne would email you this information.  I don;t get it.  I thought you were with the IFBB.

Having stated the above Bob, why let King start ranting about 240 during the broadcast?That has nothing to do w/pro bb'ing itself.Isn't that just internet geek(s) slamming pros on an internet web site?A pro stating his opinions of a fellow pro (even an ex competitive pro) is more bb'ing related than him ranting about a non bb'ing pro internet poster.

For anyone that is interested....

It has been brought to my attention that the '06 X-Treme Expo (The James Goad/ Wayne DeMilia venture)...has been canceled. I assume this would also mean the "PDI" qualifier is canceled as well (just a guess).

Keith,

The event has always been called the Xtreme Challenge Sports and Fitness EXPO.
The MMA, PDI and Model Search were all part of the EXPO.
So if the EXPO was CANCELLED so was the other events. What's so difficult for you to understand?

Yeah Keith don't stress it the PDI will have many ups and downs if they survive past the first show...

I wish good luck to Wayne but I have to agree with Chick when he said that the fan base clearly isn't big enough to support 2 federations

Not really apples to apples but wrestling had competition for many many years WWF(WWE) vs NWA (WCW) and now TNA......

If people are a true fan of the sport of bodybuilding they will follow both to see who's doing what...

It may take some time to gain the fans...Only time will tell.

The EXPO was just canceled as of this morning, Einstein....

couldn't tell you jack squat about the re-scheduling of the "qualifier"...as I don't follow the "PDI" saga.

Interesting to hear this "breaking" news from someone who "doesn't follow the PDI"!!

I don't "follow the Pro Masters saga" but I heard this morning that you got an early Christmas gift!

Half of the initially talked-about Euro events have not made it to the schedule.

According to http://pdiradio.com/pr/6.pdf (PDI Press Release #6), the following cities will get PDI shows:

Oct 20 - Kosice, Slovakia
Oct 21 - Budapest, Hungary
Oct 22 - London, England

There will be $30,000 up for grabs at each contest and the promoters are covering travel and lodging for several of the competitors.

Wrong again my dear photographer.  The show has not been cancelled.  I just got an email from Wayne and the MMA show (PPV) and the BB show are still on.  The BB show and the MMA are not being held in the Expo.  Is the Arnold or the Olympia held in the expo.  NO.  Have you ever been to these shows.  The expos are separate.  In fact the Olympia Expo is miles from the actual show.  Really what s wrong with you.  I swear does the IFBB issue dumbfuck drugs to you on a regular basis.  You are dumb and dumber all in one.  Like I have said all along, you are just a photgrapher.  Please sitback and enjoy, but don't input, it makes you look really stupid.  Keep hanging on to the sinking ship.
