---------------------------------------------------
Here is the press release on the one year anniversary!
The following press release was mass distributed by media wire services: Groundbreaking show embraced by bodybuilding fans worldwide.
Los Angelas, CA (PRWEB) June 6, 2006 -- Pro Bodybuilding Weekly, the first talk radio show devoted exclusively to the world of professional bodybuilding, celebrates its one-year anniversary. The weekly broadcast has quickly gained momentum by offering listeners the opportunity to hear directly from the biggest names in professional bodybuilding. Regarded as "the voice of professional bodybuilding," the popularity of the show is widely attributed to the overwhelming support it has received from nearly every bodybuilding magazine.
Muscle & Fitness Magazine's Editor-in-Chief Peter McGough explains, "Within a year, Pro Bodybuilding Weekly has established itself as a must-listen activity for any true fan. The bodybuilding knowledge and passion of hosts Dan Solomon and Bob Cicherillo drives the whole experience as they know the questions to ask and the buttons to push. The program is now a Monday night fixture."
Muscular Development Magazine Senior Editor, John Romano summed up the show's impact on the industry as follows, "I think the direction that Pro Bodybuilding Weekly is going so far has boded extremely well for our community. And, as more and more of us tune in, it becomes more powerful."
The show was also heralded by Ironman Magazine's Lonnie Teper, who recognized Solomon, the show's creator, with his annual award for "Most Creative" of 2005.
Pro Bodybuilding Weekly's growing audience also includes an impressive list of all-star bodybuilders. Jay Cutler, who appeared on an earlier broadcast, explains, "The radio show is now the best way to get the latest news and various perspectives from around the sport."
The show's worldwide popularity has captured the attention of many of the industry's corporate heavyweights. In its early stages, the program established a broadcast alliance with Bodybuilding.com, the world's number one bodybuilding cyberstore. Since its inception, advertisers have included an impressive list of industry leaders, including a major title sponsorship with supplement giant MuscleTech. Upon finalizing the agreement with the radio show, MuscleTech's Chief Marketing Officer Vince Scalisi said, "We are proud to support Pro Bodybuilding Weekly. Fans deserve high-quality broadcast programming and that's exactly what Dan Solomon and PBW is giving them."
In addition to the live Monday broadcasts (8pm est), the one-hour program is also available for "on-demand" replay and free Podcast subscription. Solomon, who also serves as the program's Executive Producer, explains, "Bodybuilding fans are located all over the world. From day one, our objective has been to make the broadcasts conveniently available to listeners on all corners of the globe. The audience statistics and the feedback have been overwhelming. We are grateful for the support we've received from fans who share our passion for the sport."

I'm saying that, having promised an impressive performance, he'll produce nothing more than his usual sorry offerings.

The question is....what will his excuse be this time?

1) Stomach virus
2) Shawn Ray threatened to sue him if he "exposed the truth"
3) He's a punk-ass bee-yotch.
Take your pick.

::)
-
shawn, any "pre" words about the infamous text message to D.A.S. before King pulls a Geraldo on air?
-
Maybe its new stuff. Thats what I was told. Some stuff you haven't heard.

Yeah but eveybody can invent rumors too.
I could say I have a really close friend in the ifbb and I was told that dexter jackson had sexual relations with ronnie coleman.
who knows if I say the truth
-
Kamali should go into propaganda ...cause thats all thats left.... well that an a distended stomach. What other third teir BB gets this much attention ?? OK , other than Bob Chic .......
-
The hosts of this show should hold Kamali to account for physically threatening people who post on this board.
If they can go off on how "pencil neck losers hiding in their parents basements can write whatever they want without any consequences" then, Kamali should have to answer for threatening members.
Although we know that this question won't be answered and this post will most likely get deleted.

You just hit the nail on the head my friend !! If everybody stopped raggin on him, even acknowledeing him, he would get absoloutly zero publicity (or as near as damn it). I mean - seriously - with his current physique he must be on a level with people like eddie abbew and jason arntz - and look how much publicity they get!!?? I think we are playing into the guys hands ! >:(
-
Dan,
Can you ask Kamali about the dozens of theeats he's made on the boards in the last few days? He sent me four graphic threats, he threatened to cripple another member...
King, do you think you might take the boards a little too seriously?
-
could it be that he is having a so called roid rage ?
-
Is there any way Kamali's recent escapades on this board were a PR stunt? Does he have anything to sell right now? Anything that would get more exposure from him having a giant thread on the most popular board on Getbig?
240 clearly had no role in the Kamali thread yet Kamali went after 240 the hardest, why? Could it be because he knew 240 is Getbig's most visible poster and that he would expose the messages and therefore bring more attention Kamali's way? And that attention in turn would benefit any products he's trying to sell.
-
He is like Jamie Kennedy in Blowin Up
Dan you should read some of his post from GetBig .......

Seriously, I laughed and called 'implosion'. That was it. Other attacked his income, pleacing, home, family, etc. All I did was laugh at the whole situation. And I got 4 beatdown threats.
King, you need to get a marketing guy and get one fast. Your sponsors read getbig- everyone does- and you may have done yourself some damage this week. I don't know what happened recently to change you from quiet on the boards to violent threats on many, but it's probably not healthy. Remember- it's just the internet. In 3 days, anything that happens today will be a 'remember when...'
Radio show should be good- Dan, please, if you're going to give him a platfowm to disassemble shawn, ask him about the violent threats.
-
King, do you think you might take the boards a little too seriously?
you should ask yourself that question
-
It goes both ways. I am PMed many of you and asked that the malicious bashing stop now. You all have responded favorably. Lets keep it that way. Dan is going to ask the touch questions, you can be assured of that. So will Bob. No kiss assing there. They wouldnt have it that way.

No offense Ron but I'll believe that when I hear it.
-
I was told that the issues about the violent threat PMs would be discussed...
and as much as I like to fire a few salvoes at PBBW, Dan has always been honest about things with me.
So I really do think Dan will ask. I DO think that it would benefit the show to have Bob remain silent and LET KING ANSWER- IMO, Bob will intervene and talk about the haters and use that time to soapbox.
Dan, I say, ask King, and deliver that pregnant pause after his first canned line. MAKE HIM FEEL THE NEED to keep talking. Make HIM speak on it- not Bob. Bob will talk about how "Big gunnnzzzz5 always says this and that" and give the same speech he always does.
Challenge King to answer for it. Hell, read a few of the lines I sent you, Dan. "Fly across the country and bitchslap a stranger for a video camera", etc. Ask him if he plans to cripple jaejonna for mentioning his wife.
Hold him accountable for threats!

It was actually me he threatened to put in a wheel chair ;D

I would LOVE to hear King explain, with the world listening, whether 1) He really plans to fly around the country and hospitalize numerous people, or 2) he was just trying to scare people.
Either way, the answer is going to bury him.
Dan, PLEASE ask him that Q.
-

Bingo. Also, will Chick let Kamali divulge the secrets he promised he would?
Kamali said it would be no holds barred, will Chick let that happen?
I doubt it.

Ussually with the show, the topics we want to hear are cut short with the all too familar.."Well that does it for this ...." and the topics no one cares about ..Muscletech Scientist, the details of Mike Francois' illness (no disrespect), or other such issues seem to be prolonged... but that might be my opinion.... also i noticed whenever something is gettin good , Bob chimes in with the whole ..."What you think about the PDI ???" cmon just let it happen, we dont need the same analysis everytime.
I liked the round table discussion personally. I would like it if they called Shawn Ray on the phone ...then we can witness thier first actual conversation !!
Kinda like that movie with Keanau Reeves and Sandra Bullock, Lake house...two people who never met but know so much about the other.
But it would probably degenerate into the same rhetoric we listen to here.
Regardless, I like the show alot Dan and Bob you guys are entertaining as hell.
-
Hell, the least productive use they could make of the hour would be to have Shawn and Tamali, each on a tinny phone line, trying to talk over each other. Gives me a headache just imagining it.
But I'd sure like to him hear him explain the "thought process" behind publicly threatening message board posters - even if they were taking sleazy cheap shots at his wife. Was it some kind of Middle Eastern "honor" thing? A spasm of roid rage? Or just frustration over the continuing decline of his career?
-
Above all, the radio station would be doing a service to those of us who aren't 100% sure that King won't do something stupid like attack someone.
By asking him if he intends to attack those who laughed at him on a message board, he will be forced to publicly state whether he was just talking trash, or if he does intend on attacking strangers.
Hell, I just laughed at the way he handled himself, called it an 'implosion' and he is SWEARING to me that he'll be at my door to beat me up very very soon.
If you guys call him out on it, I will earn a TON of respect for it. It's will REALLY show that you care about the sport and the fans, not about protecting screw-up athletes who threaten people.
If you guys don't, it will look you're puppet radio.
I really do think Dan will ask though- he's been a man of his word several times when I asked him about things. He has told me he'd ask Q's or address issues, and he has. So I really do think we'll hear King asked if he intends to fight strangers over message boards or not.
-
240, you suck at PM's.

Dan is a man of his word, all the request we have had in the past he has come thru on. Bob on the other hand, like him or not, he is so in your face sometimes and talks before he thinks, that i think he will go ahead an ask the tough questions. Regardless, Bob please just let it happen.

I wouldn't rank Bob with Mike Wallace in the pugnacity sweepstakes. But I respect the job he's been doing on the radio.
However...
He is a self-proclaimed pal of Tamali's. [I don't know how you spell it... "mamalouke" ?] So even if he does call him on the threats foolishness, it's bound to be more along the lines of "Dude, why waste your time?" rather than "How can you justify this behavior?"
-
Seeing how Bob and Kamali are closer friends than Shawn Ray and Bob, I think Bob will let Kamali say his piece. King will deliver the blows tomorrow and I'm interested in hearing what he has to say.

Kamali has to be the biggest contradiction subject to you guys...first you all say he takes the boards too seriously, and then you all post in here that he needs to be held accountable for threats? Everyone in here talks more shit than he ever could...looks like ALL of you take it a little too seriously. Lighten up guys...I know he's laughing when he posts...so maybe some of you should too.
And 240...as one of the biggest shit disturbers on getbig...I would have thought YOU of all people could take "threatening" PM's with a grain of salt...
-
Today is the DAY!!!!
Radio broadcast of another meltdown on the airwaves....
How much you wanna bet he starts to post right after the radio show ???
We shall see where Bob's loyaties rest today.... He will either show that he is a real freind of Kamali which maybe a career suicide, esp since Kamli's BB career is like the Titanic ...minus everything except the last hours of the voyage. Or he can defend fellow industry collegue Shawn Ray and not let loudmouth freind get away with slander and self promotion. Bob, you probably dont have one business savy bone in your body so Ill make this real easy for you. Business is business, dont make it personal. aka your not going to make more money showing that your a loyal friend.
-
Kamali has dug his own grave on the boards this week. He sent violent threats to dozens of people.
Bob was wise to distance himself from buddy Craig Titus after he allegedly killed someone.
Bob would be wise to just hold his tongue tonight and let King dig his own marketing grave.
Personally, I think Bob will try to smooth things over, saying some BS like "everyone was making threats and things got out of hand" when in reality, we criticized Kamali's inablility to place in top 5 and only KING resorted to threats of crippling ppl.
I think Dan will keep it real, and challenge King to support or back off numerous threats he made.

Discussion of Dexter in Olympia.
Nice discussion back and forth regarding Lee Priest also being listed for the Mr O.

Cicherillo wasn't asked the question WHY he believes Lee will be suspended.
Solomon does a pretty good job though.

Kamali: Something was wrong.
Cicherillo: What exactly was wrong?
Kamali: My last minute prep.
Kamali: I realized "I look like dog shit"... My body didn't respond to the message from Chad Nicholls... Joe McNeil is the complete opposite of Chad Nichols. (Monster ownage of Teh Chad)
Kamali: I wasn't upset after the NYC.
Kamali gives Cicherillo cred for training smart...
