Ron, I heard we will be able to see the press confrence live on the net, is it true ?
No, as far as I know, it will not be on the webcast. I am hoping that Hardbody Entertainment will videotape it and show the highlights, and I dont think we will see it on the webcast. But we will all report about it.
Ask them which ones are coming to the PDI when they realize the IFBB is going down.
Why? If there was a PDI press conference, should I ask those athletes about the IFBB? No. Questions are for the competitors, this is their day. I want questions directed to the competitors.
Ask the competitors what they thought of the Mr Getbig contest.
Why? Where they in it? Did they qualify through it? Again - this is their press conference. I want questions about them. Give me good questions already. And thanks for the few of you that already emailed some - will try to use them.
ask them if they are happy with the job that Boc Chic is doing as their Rep
Good question - for the Athletes meeting, not the press conference.
"do you feel points should be deducted for a distended stomach....so much to the point where it would affect a top 5 placing"
Ecellent question. Someone was reading my original post. Bravo!
why do you feel Lee Priest needed to be suspended for competing in the NOC, when every IFBB representative has said publicly that the PDI is 'inconsequential' and 'no threat' to the IFBB? SOOOOOOOO UMMMMMM WHERES LEE ?
Again - who cares. Not relevant to a competitor. If Lee is on that stage, lots of questions will be directed towards him - if he is not, then they wont be. Not to say I wont ask Lee questions when I see him, after all, I will hound him until I get all the pictures I want, Lee will tell you that.
Anybody here from Titus? I hear he's in town
Yes, we have. Some of us have even visited him. But no 'interview' story... sorry.
Why are the male bodybuilders allowed to hike up their trunks up their asses while the fitness women are not?
I think that fitness women should be allowed to do that too... why not. But unfortunately, the standards of the conservative moment doesnt appreciate it.
And wasnt this meant to be the format last year (open pressforum) but it was squashed under the watchfull of Mr Chang !!
Actually, we could of asked questions. But the members of the press are too chicken to be in the spotlight. I know last year I was. Didn't want to go up there and ask question in front of everybody. But this year I will. Robin was disappointed that only Flex Wheeler asked one question, and the rest of us press were quiet.
Why are you wasting your time here? You know damn well Ronnie could show up looking like Vince Goodrum and he'd still get the Sandow!"
Ronnier: Who writes the columns and articles that are signed with your name in FLEX?, What do you feel you have accomplished as an representative for the bodybuilding community?
First question is a mixture of Ronnie and a writer. Ronnie usually says what he wants to say, a writer writes it. Most columns of sports athletes are written this way. Second question is what I am looking for.
What will you do if you become champion. How will you represent bodybuilding
Excellent question!! More of these
Getting the questions approved by someone before they're asked?
I can ask any question I want. But I want them relevant to the athletes.
Well it's already known they threatened Ron to take his press pass if he didn't moderate the PDI stuff more. This is how the IFBB works. If they really tried to pressure Ron to censor PDI info or opinions on his board, that shows you just how pathetic the people running the IFBB really are
PDI can discuss as much as they want on the boards - does it look like it was moderated. What people were concerned with, on both sides, is the hateful bashing on various people. That needed to be stopped! Calling people various names, with lewd pictures, and downright lies is wrong, and yes, people didnt like it. Dont want it on Manion, dont want it on DeMilia, dont want it on McGough, don't want it on Blechman. But outright taking my press pass away. No - it never came to that. But do I need a press pass to report to events? No. I havent had a press pass from the NPC in three years, that doesnt stop anything. Promoters are kind so I didnt need to ask for one.
Dan and Bob - my questions have been submitted. Let's see something other then paint dry at this year!
Ecellent questions, Isaac. You can now actually go up and say some of them!
Question for any competitor: "What do you think of Vince Goodrum's triumphant return to the stage at the 2006 NPC Mountaineer, where he placed 2nd in a 2-man junior class?"
In the terms of the Olympia, who cares about Vince Goodrum. Again, questions for the competitors that are good ones.
