You know what they say opinions are like...  ;)

I'm not taking it personal, it's Don's choice and his life. It's a bit hypocrtical to bash Don but not do the same to other competitors who are far more ignorant about their health then Don. I can't understand a lot of what many of the competitors do, but again who am I to say what they should or shouldn't do?

I can't understand why True Adonis has the mop of a hair du that he does, but who am I to judge what's right or wrong in "ice cream guru's" hairstyles?

But you're right we are all entitled to our own opinions.  ;D



You are just jealous as the day is long.

Nice to see you didn't take what I said personally. As far as bashing other competitors who are also irresponsible regarding their physiology, I think it is fair to say that more than enough of that goes on here regularly. Some of the threads are incredibly offensive.

However, what makes Don's situation different to me (and others) is that it seems he is being given a second chance and many of us feel he is being foolish  because of the obvious danger in which he is placing himself.

I am sure his family knows he may have complications and the mere fact that they are standing behind him and supporting him (let's not even get his sister into this) speaks volumes for the love they feel for him. By contrast, his actions seem comparatively selfish and with a rather meaningless endpoint.

Anyways, you are correct. Opinions are like ... and we all have one. In this case I respect yours, however, I don't understand it, nor his.

I don`t think Don is going to die on stage.  I think he just doesn`t know what to do with himself anymore.

Maybe Wieder should set up a Retired Bodybuilder fund where they help injured and sick bodybuilders find jobs doing what they do best.

That would require the IFBB to give a shit about their ahtletes. They clearly do not. I hate agreeing with you  :-\

I don`t even know why the Competitors bother.  We were able to raise more Prizes and money for Mr. Getbig than any NPC show and it even rivals some of the Pro Shows.

I think the people in charge of the contests don`t know what in the hell they are doing....That includes Shawn Rays failure of a show.

Well, being that the NPC is an amateur organization...thats not hard to do.

You're right...I've never won any t-shirts/ protein powder or free car wash tickets at any of the pro shows.

No, but I did see the Webcast and the camera pan to the audience and staying on the audience for at least 10-20 minutes if not more.

And the person who donated the kidney to keep this thug alive is ok with him wasting it away on a BB show????

Maybe she would not had been so giving if she knew that Don's real motive was:  "please help me live so that I can me an incredible come back in the IFBB!"

-keep it real-

I understand that that kidney was rejected and is completely non functioning.  Don uses a type of dialysis to cleanse his own blood most nights of the week.  There is no "wasting it' on a show, as you say.  First thing when "keeping it real" is to be ACCURATE.

You must have been watching the wrong show...I certainly dont remember the camera being on the audience for 20 minutes...what were they showing?

Well in that lull time when you were telling jokes they were showing the audience.  Also, when you were handing out "gift certificates".

That fag won that car and he acted like he didn`t give a shit.

I swear.  There were just too many awkward things there.

The arena held over 5,000 people....If 2,500 people were in attendance, it's half empty.

Maybe you can use your degree in Physics to figure that one out....

VERY Interesting that you viewed it as Being HALF-EMPTY rather than half-full.

Kind of reveals your TRUE feelings towards the show.

Eventhough he's cleared to go, but I wonder if Don is 100% sure that he will go the same lifestyle he used to. cause the last thing he would want is more complications. He knows what will involve going back to compete full throttle
