Big fan of Shawn's, but why does he hate the PDI so much?Is it because Lee is going to win another show, thus having more titles than him? Or is it all because he does not like Lee for some reason? True the PDI may be a joke, and Shawn knows it too. Or is it he knows it may be more successfull than his Col. Pro???Why does Shawn not like Lee, kinda similar in many ways... both short white guys that talk funny and 'speak their minds.'
Bump for these questions.Prize Money breakdown?List of Athletes?Location? Ticket Prices?Lets get this thing rolling with some good, honest info.YIPZack
I think part of the reason for the bashing is a lot of these guys didn't like Wayne when he was in the IFBB. They felt he was to blame (rightfully or wrongfully I don't know) for whatever problems they had then when he was around.Bullies always pick on those weaker than themselves. So the PDI is in its infancy and you'll have guys who will cliam to support more opportunities for the athletes, who will say they love Jesus and stuff (last time I checked, didn't Christ champion the poor? And is rubbing salt in wounds Christian behavior?), but they'll attack PDI.It also gives them a chance to prove their loyalty to "this thing of ours." That way they're allowed to put on shows, be seen around at the big events so they can hawk their supplement lines, DVDs or whatever other things they've got going on trying to scrabble together a living.This is not an attack on the IFBB. I love their shows. It's an attack on intolerance and the bullying behavior it breeds.
Shawn is just bitter he never won anything in bodybuilding and is not bashing the growth of the sport at all costs.
big worm,,,quit following me wherever I go. Quit the biting, fool. And your hissy fits are getting out of hand, watch yourself.I am letting you keep you name for a little while right now, so you best behave son.
So you needed to start yet another thread to post your opinion? Not that I disagree with you, but there's already at least 4 threads you could have posted this in.
Sorry to offend you.Zack, I guess this weekend we'll find out.If the PDI survives and thrives, it will be really funny to watch all the guys bashing it now go over and compete there.
Not offensive brutha, just hard to navigate with 4-5 threads on the same subject.
Shawn is just bitter he never won anything in bodybuilding and is not bashing the growth of the sport at all costs.Or maybe he's still mad about dillet knocking out his tooth
Thanks for asking! My shingles have got much better from the outside. But due to the lackof training for almost one month and the amount of sleep i need to recover my contest prep was greatly altered. At the Nabba show I really struggled with water, partly due to me way over carb loading. Once i hit the stage I was just running water out! My legs seemed to be dry but my upper body was bloated and wet! Crystal and I did the best we could w/ what was going on with my health! As far as my future goes, there has been some major changes! I have dropped out of the PDI as I would not due my self justice competing not at my best! And being I believe that the NOC will be the first and last contest of the PDI I do not want to go out that way! So Crystal and I have decided (after many hours of talking) to enter the 2008 NPC Masters Nationals championships. So it is back to the drawing board and time to get some rest and recover form this all. Crystal has 2 shows next April and May so we will be putting a lot of our time into her prep. But in a month or so I will be back in the gym getting ready for 2008!
My dream was to turn pro through the NPC/IFBB. The PDI at first looked to be a good deal for me! But Vince and then Vinny dropping out and the Lee problems changed my outlook of it. I really wanted to compete against some of those top guys before I hung it up! But now there is no one else left! And with me being at less then 100% why do it! All i'll get is bannned by the NPC and with the Pdi on such thin ice what would a PDI Victory even mean? The NPC brings with it a great deal of history and respect! Even if you dont make it to the pro's, to be a top NPC guy carrys with it a lot of resect and is something to be proud of. All I want is that when the day comes that i leave this sport I want to respect and be proud of what i have done! And I truly beleive that it is with the NPC! I am very content and relived that I have decided to stay with the NPC. I was very uneasy and troubled every day when I was still going to do the NOC and now those feels have gone. I fell victim to some fast talking and big promises.
