Spot on Matt...I myself said I would have placed Rusty in the top 5, based on his great symmetry and presentation alone.
The judges decided to go with conditioning first and foremost for whatever reasoning, and Rusty was smooth...especially at the PJ.
Bob,
You got to be kidding.
You were the smoothest guy in top 5. If judges went for conditioning, then you should not place higher than 5th (and that would be a gift).
It was a fixed show. Period.
You seem like a smart guy (altough you are a little bit full of yourseld), so why do you come on here defending yourself when it only makes you look "not so smart".
Yes, you won. Did you deserve it? Hell no and you know it.
In fact all your accomplishments in IFBB are based on your mouth rather than your physique. In NY you always get gifts. How you placed second in NY few years ago and got booed and now back in NY and the call is even worse than before.
