I can't believe we're but 2 days away from seeing King Kamali once again step on stage in a bid to make it to the Olympia. It seems with all the hype and talk surrounding Shari over the past couple years, everything is about to come to a head.

The Europa Supershow is the biggest test of the man's career. On one side, industry notables such as Dexter Jackson and Ron Avidan have guaranteed a top three finish. On the other hand, most everyone else expects him to place out of the top 10.

The time has nearly come for King to prove himself. If he can come in with a smaller waist, better conditioning, bigger arms, improved legs, larger forearms, and some calves he will silence the critics and begin a glorious new chapter in his life. If he should fail, his credibility, the credibility of his supporters, his MuscleTech contract, and everything else riding on this contest could slip away forever.

I sincerely hope that King is able to present the best package he can. He is at a crossroad right now. One of them leads to a dead-end . . .

Does On_Swole still owe Shawn the $500 from the bet he lost regarding King's placing in his last stellar outing?

the "crossroad" was a long time ago, and he took the wrong path.

its the "Road Closed: Bridge Out" sign up around the blind curve that he's going to plow into two days from now

Kamali will not get a qualification this weekend at the Europa. Only top 3 get qualified and the field is tough. I believe he's competing at the Montreal show in a couple of weeks and the field there looks pretty weak. I don't think he qualifies at either one and he falls into a deep depression and devotes the rest of his career to eating Krispy Kremes.

If anyone believes that King will get top 3, PM me. I don't think he will, and I love a small wager from time to time

According to king's own standards anything less than a victory means nothing...

therefore his last show was in the NPC...

Only way that would happen would be if he hired Vince as his pre-contest guru..And Vince shows king the true powder of the magic stick..

"No-one remembers second place" according to king himself.

He should be assuring victory and nothing less...

According to Dan & Bob's Preview of Europa Supershow...

Lineup includes Art Atwood, Darrem Charles (the heavy favorite), Toney Freeman, Johnny Jackson, Bob's plug for 'War of the Worlds DVD" (available at www.BobChic.com ), King Kamali, George Farah, Quincy Taylor.

I'm game. We're on.

Don't use PP Rob so I'll mail you if you win.

I think QT, DC, TF, and JJ will be top 4 easily.

And that wolf guy is supposed to be bringing a lifetime best.

And kamali has more pressure on him than any other pro in the show, IMO, since expectations are so high and he has really talked up his condition. i think that pressure won't bring out the best in him onstage. He looked frustrated and embarassed at the NY Pro, and there as a little shoving/bumping with Farah, I believe. he might look better at this show. But Toney and JoJ are greater athletes. Darrem is probably still irked about that Phil heath double and is really hungry for a win. and there's always a surpise guy, like a St Cloud or a haley who could show up and scoop top 5.
