Wanna hear some interesting stuff?
I am trying to maintain some sort of integrity in the industry that cannot follow rules. Fair enough - we all like being misfits at some point but Saturday night was a whole other level of questioning.
After analyzing the evening, I had found an absurd amount of people that had tried a "grease attempt" trying to slip someone cash for VIP entrance and also other fun stories of people that didn't want to be seen in the regular line that attempted to pay $50-100 (instead of $25) to "be seen" in the guest line. 90% didn't seem to think that they should be paying a Charity party ticket and to make it even worse industry people wanted to crash other companys private parties that they compete with.
I have done stuff with other industries too and I have never seen anything like it.
Will the real VIP's please stand up!
hehehe ;D
The problem is that it really doesn't take that much cash to get started in this industry. REAL business people don't run these companies, meatheads do. I would say I actually respect about 10-15 people in this industry, that's it.

I don't pick the stars folks.
Vinnie is a good dude - again fuss over silly sh*t. Who cares about the stars anyway man!?!?!
I represented Jason with the VYO Tech Crew, as we sponsored your event, Nice Job!
Seeing Dina there was an added bonus and the Rumors afterward were even better! :o
See ya next year! ;D

If real business people were running the supp companies, there wouldn't be an IFBB, because real business people woulsn't waste money on "athlete" endorsements and show sponsorships, not when 80-90% of the people who workout and buy supplements are doing it for their own vanity and could care less about the IFBB and their pros, if they've even heard of them at all.
Just between us, was she all that she's cracked up to be?

Yes, I'm the guy the put the first ever FREE live webcast of a show. This wednesday/thursday the article will be printed as to why we lost so much many. Many things were outside of our control. That being said, we need to do what we can to help recoup funds.
Maybe I should have been like other people that do shows. Don't offer webcast for free. Don't do a DVD of the event. Those that do, will charge a HELL of a lot more than 10.00, especially for a two disc set. The problem with my show is that I tried to treat people like real professional athletes. I should have just held the event in a high school auditorium, let them change in bathrooms and had tons of tacky ass banners all over the stage.
Hello guys
Hey Vinnie.
Hell yeah Vinnie, you got your blue stars. They must know something good is going to happen..
you have no idea.....
Vinnie,
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your BLUE STARS. Of course, it was my post about integrity that got you those stars. Now let me be the first to congratulate you on your PROFESSIONAL STATUS with the PDI. I think that's an excellent move. We both know the IFBB has little or nothing to offer you by way of prize money or exposure, whereas you could become the face of a new organization. Nice move. And hopefully, if your good fortune continues (and good things DO come in threes) I will be the first to congratulate you on becoming a father later in the year. For now, that cute Bulldog will have to do.

Dude....it's VINNY, not VINNIE....come on man.I wasn't talking to you moron. You're not the only Vinnie here you self-centered egotistical prick. In case you didn't know my trainer and guru VINCE "Vinnie" G, MSN is awaiting his Blue stars, pro card, and baby.

I understand and respect 1fast400's response. A lot of the time, stuff is out of your control but you take the hit for it because your name is on that show. The problem with our industry is that everyone wants changes in bodybuilding but the public and athletes aren't willing to suffer through transitional phases. There are going to be hard times and the community needs to see that there are people out there trying to bring more money and excitement into the sport and trying to raise awareness. Rather than critisize him or others why not support those that want to change and grow the sport?

Also why did it take you so long to get the DVD ready for sale , hell that show of yours was months ago.

BITCHVinnie,
After all, Vince is a "CSN" (Cock Sucking Nobody).
If Vinny did turn pro in the PDI, and walk away from the NPC, he would never be able to turn back.
I heard he talked to Wayne, and talked to Manion out of respect, but we all know now that Vinny is fucked just for letting the NPC know he even talked to Wayne.
If Vinny does the USA....he wont crack the top 5, let alone the top 15....just out of the fact that he talked to Wayne.
OPINIONS ON P
Vinny is late 30's, has great lines, has been overlooked after 13 years of national competition.
He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by jumping, if that's what he chooses to do.
