Howard, I've never witnessed anything quite that bad in any NPC/IFBB event but in them good old days when the only individuals who came to bodybuilding contest were family, friends, and various gym member die-hards... (No magazine reps and just a couple of photographers!)
Those gym member die-hards would show up to support a fellow gym member no matter how bad he appeared on stage and they'd throw a few rotten tomatoes if the guy really looked bad but was from an opposing gym.
Those were the good old days ... but pretty damn weird good old days .... days when Mac Bachelor, Bill "Peanuts' West, George Frennand just about everyone else in attendance was reknown for lifting heavy things or robbing bonks and just about everything else in between.
Those were the days when you had to be somewhat 'crazy' to be involved as an avid lifter or avid fan.
Something very similar to what we are presently witnessing on this GetBig Board.
But maybe just a bit more civil way back then because no one accused anyone else of any adverse activity for fear of getting a short range punch in the nose.
But I will also admit that many back then simply loved getting hit in the face. In fact years ago (but not too many years ago) there was an internet site where strange people loved to get severely punched/beaten up by others.
So the world hasn't really changed that much.
Those old day activities seem to be somewhat contagious and a forecast of things to come.
