You know it's a funny thing. Shawn felt passed over during the late 80s and 90s complaining that physiques that were not really pleasing beat him on a steady basis at the the big O. You would think he might be glad to see something new which may give the aesthetically pleasing physique some respect again. just in case you didn't know Shawn ,the judges had a giant hardon for you back then. Your attitude was the main reason. I always felt that you were getting screwed at the time. The same people who are keeping you in the fold now are the ones who f----d you back then
A reason why I am sceptical about PDI is because the same guy who fcuked many of the aesthetic bodybuilders, and also tried to scare the bodybuilders away from meeting up for discussions about better terms for the bodybuilders, is the same guy who today is running the PDI.
DeMilia has a bad track record when it comes to relations with bodybuilders.
Side note, and this is related to your post:
I saw a post by Romano where he questioned the "bashing" of the PDI. Others have been bringing this one up as well.
I don't understand how it is constantly perceived as "bashing" of PDI to raise questions about what the prize money will be, to ask what the competitors list will be and so forth. Asking tough questions was never "bashing" in my book.
Writing stuff like "PDI sucks" and to state insinuant shit is definitely bashing IMO, and has no value.
But exposing myths like the "almost sold out" and trying to find out other details is not "bashing". No way. It may be be unpleasant truths. But it ain't "bashing".
