Chem...you were there...very lucky!

I recall the M Builder where they had the meeting for the union...Kal was wearing those suspenders lookin huge...thing was...A and Franco were suuposed to support his efforts, and then, purportedly, they did not.

Shortly after...it was reported that Kal tussled with J Weider in his office over getting his photos out of his file...surreal...

Hey Moose, I sent you a PM.

sorry man but gonna call bullshit on this one, no offense.

This guy was only 5'7, 5'8, 250# and could hit 405 inclines for 6-8 with good form (and yes, I was an eyewitness);

Funny thing is he could barely hit 405 on squats though despite large wheels........

Excellent physique there.

He won the Mr. California I think but he never won the Nationals. He was a successful gym owner in San Diego.

Yes, the Cal in 88 was his only major win, came in 2nd to Shawn Ray in 87-if rick had a back he would have beat Shawn.

Well, if you call Ed Connors "gifting" you a Gold's Gym, the very first Gold's Gym that was a licensee other than Ed Connors, one where Rick did not have a single dime to put in for an investment, then I guess you might call that successful.

I would call it one in a million luck myself.

BTW, Ed also gave Jim Quinn a percentage of Gold's San Diego, and Rick forced Jim out. Jim was PISSED! Said he was going to "drag Ricks head along a freeway divider".... honest to god.

One more of Rick, and to be honest I think Rick had a pro physique, could easily have competed in the pro's;

Moosejay · « **Reply #109 on:** April 22, 2008, 08:10:47 PM »

Yeah...I'd agree that'd be a pro physique

Chimp-Master: you referring to me?

That was worn in the 80's actually, and the 'Time To Make The Donuts' was quite the thing.

I knew it was time to shave when comedians in bars I bounced in started making fun of me/it....

He was no Ronnie Abston, that's for sure.

"bars you bounced in"? aren't you like 180 pounds?

Moosejay · « **Reply #116 on:** April 23, 2008, 07:49:32 AM »

About 185-190...and I was a very good diplomat with drunkards.

They would not even know I dissed them while throwing them out till they were home.

I NEVER hit one person in seven years.

I saw a 160 pound guy kick the Hell out of a 300 pounder. He told the big guy to take his coat off...when he did, that's when the little guy pummeled the s--- out of him.

The Illinois collegiate HW wrestling champion challenged the lean, 185 pound me to fight.

I told him, "I will fight you. But there will be no honor in how I fight you. I will claw at your flesh, Grab your balls...hit you with a bottle, pull the hair out of your head...kind like a crazy girl.

"Well, the whole bar got quiet. The huge guy looked at me.

"You know, " he said. "I cause trouble all over town, and I have never it heard it put towards me that way..."

And they left.

Yes...he would of killed me. But diplomacy won.

And I was very scared.

Bouncing was a good job, fun, and I was not studying Fri or Sat nights, so it was a good opp to make $ and be out at the same time.

I never fought, never have fought, don't know how to fight, and never will fight.

I didn't get into bb to intimidate anybody, and I was raised well and did not have anger or aggression issues.

And I get along with everyone, including you, squad.

The Squadfather · « **Reply #120 on:** April 23, 2008, 08:01:03 AM »

why did you want to be a "bouncer" then?

Moosejay · « **Reply #121 on:** April 23, 2008, 08:04:29 AM »

Well...good question. I was taking 30 credits per trimester in college at the time...and needed money, as most students do.

Had no time to work regular hours...so I took the boiuncing job (or, doorperson) because it was on weekend nites when I would either be sleeping or not in class anyhow.

It was good, under the table money, and I met a lot of gals and hung with friends....damn

come to think of it

THAT is when I had it made!

The Squadfather · « **Reply #122 on:** April 23, 2008, 08:08:10 AM »

are you sure you were 185 here, you look more like 136-138 range here.

Moosejay · « **Reply #123 on:** April 23, 2008, 08:08:33 AM »

Squad...to be fair...they kept small me at the front door for ID check and greeting, as I was more presentable.

The gorilla huge bouncers were in the back....unleashed them when really necessary!

I was 21 there...and about low 170's...never said I was 185 in that shot. If you read through...there are pics up of me at 190.

More will come later from 1986-1987...my biggest onstage weights of 185-190.

Squad, why do you never believe anything?

There is no conspiracy with me. I generally don't lie.
