Yep. This whole "paying your dues for 10 years" really presents a lot of guys from turning pro younger and therefore being more marketable.
The genetic gene pool in bodybuilding is not a great as it was back in the early to mid 90's. Only a few promising ones came out in in the later 90's: Denis James, Dexter Jackson, Melvin Anthony. Guys like Omar Deckard, and Lionel Brown should have already have their pro cards by now, but smooth as a baby's ass bbers get their cards (Chris Cook, Kamali, and Co.)
