Title: R.I.P Wes. We mourn the passing of this old-school bodybuilder.

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform Getbig of Wesley David Ruddock's passing. In 1952, he opened his own gymnasium to the public of Beverly Hills and ran the establishment for an astonishing 49 years - dedicating a vast amount of his time to helping young, up-and-coming bodybuilders. In 1955 he won the prestigious 'Mr Sydney' title, firmly cementing his legacy as Australia's most successful bodybuilder ever. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

That's sad but obviously he lived a productive and happy life. 85 is a good age to pass.

Please, Falco. This is a serious thread. Snipes may have had a respectable physique in Beverly Hills Cop, but he was hardly a bodybuilder.

He meant to type R.I.P. Western Civilization. Clearly an anti-Trump post.

I thought Wes died. Then I saw a post by him. I was about to private message him to tell him to stop posting and lie down because obviously he didn't realize he was dead.

Wes, it was an honest mistake and I ask your forgiveness. I merely wanted to inform this small community that one of our own had crossed the bar, so that we could all pay our respects. At least you now know that people would mourn you - imagine if the guy's name was Howard.

Yeah, but what about the other Wes - the one who just died? He was brutally strong for his stature.

Dude,please disregard "The FUCKFACE" referances towards you,that is my customary greeting for noobs on the board.

You`ll catch your fair and unfair share of abuse from others so I``m done.

I did enough to derail Getbig from 2008 to 2011, so admittedly, I'm not in a position to talk - but this thread title is not cool.

Thank you!

I have a tablet that I often browse from, but tend not to use portable devices to log in to anything, in case that it gets lost or stolen.  I am currently in the process of setting up a gimmick account on that tablet, but it has not been approved yet.  ;D

Hence why I have not posted so much under this account, as much of my reading is from that tablet, not logged on.

Thanks, Wes. I must admit, being called a 'fuckface' did sting - given that I'm still trying to find my feet here, so I appreciate the retraction.

 ??? I'm not sure what you mean? It is about as accurate a title as I could possibly have written. The man was named Wes and he was an elderly ex-bodybuilder who had just recently passed away. I now understand that there was a bit of confusion between the Wes featured in the obituary, the Wes who posts on here, and Wesley Snipes, but it was all a big misunderstanding.

If one were to read the article they would find clear distinctions between the two bodybuilding Wes's. The recently deceased Wes was very old and is said to have been a 'thin boy' who was the victim of childhood bullying. He's described as small in build and height, but with good proportions and teeth like a Chinese special forces patrol: spaced out every five meters, yellow, and aggressive looking as fuck. I really don't see how someone could get the two people confused.

Relax! He's doing fine. He was just recently snapped with his pregnant (but still hot) girlfriend as they went out to get coffee.
