1-FAST-400 is a legit guy who runs a good company. He is one of the people who are trying to treat the BB's and fans with respect. Perhaps they do not deserve it.

Hey Vinnie.

Integrity? In BB? Dude, it's the first thing you check at the door!

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?

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.

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.

The point in regards to integrity is that you Promised a free archived web cast and DID NOT DELIVER.

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

Unless you're in the industry or are a competitor who the hell would care if this "sport" grew or not ?

400, don't forget bro that not one pro had anything negative to say about how they were treated at your show. Two pros told me that they have NEVER been treated so well and would love to come back and compete in any show run by you and your staff. They commented that they don't even get treated like that at the Olympia!

As for the fans...I cannot speak for them. It seems there's no pleasing everyone.

It was out of my control. They had all the footage. The first sample they gave me was shit quality so I had to send it back to have it redone. There is about 4 hours of footage total, so it isn't a small amount of material. As to your other comments, I've already explained everything. If that isn't good enough for you, oh well. Can't please everyone.

After all, Vince is a "CSN" (Cock Sucking Nobody).

If I could undo one thing on getbig, it'd be coming up with that name and killing that version of vince. I'm sorry, man.

1Fast400 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 14, 2006, 06:54:19 PM »

No show for me this year. In a few years I might, but some things would to change with the system first. Most don't realize that to put on a show with the purse and fee's for all the events totals around 80k dollars. That is BEFORE you start having real expenses. That is assuming you pay the minimum in all the prize categories.

Lets assume you can draw 1000 people, you ran the entire event on 1 day, you'd need 80 bucks a head just to break even on that ONE expense. As far as sponsors, good luck, there are to many shows out there already. More and more companies are realizing how stupid it is to sponsor the shows due to a horrible ROI.

Vinny has been at it since 93, when he won the USA as a Middle weight.
We all know he has 3 National level weight class wins under his belt, whats funny about the NPC, they are GIVING pro cards to figure girls in the JR USA.
Now a guy like Vinny, with 3 national wins cant do anything at a pro show, but watch it.

I think thats bullshit....I know he has not won the Nationals, but after trying since 93, if I were him i'd jump ship.
VINNY, GO TO THE PDI....you have fans here who want to see you in the mix.

Vinny can you let us know what your doing?

njbbldr · « **Reply #47 on:** March 15, 2006, 06:39:46 AM »

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 POLITICS?

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.
