God I sure am happy Dennis Newman doesn't come on here.  Can you imagine what Shawn would say about him.  Shawn is such a good Christian.  Jeez give it up.  Your half-assed attempt to make all the shit you've done to people in the past by having a charity golf tournament is just that half-assed.

Son, a golf tournament won't help your karma.  The good thing about the internet is that it exposes people like you who have the image when the camera is on and then the real one when the camera is off.  You have the image of a rip-off, cheap ass and back stabber and you always will no matter how low your golf score gets.  Now please post another fat picture.  They are getting very amusing.  But no matter what I can sleep with a good conscience and the fact I didn't let my mom spend years in prison because I was a scumbag drug dealer.  You give the illusion to people you make allot from BB when in fact those fancy cars and whatever else you got was from drug money.  God you are a great role model, son, father and tranny lover.  How could you not brag about your past, it was so nice.

This may be declared a 'meltdown' but here goes...

If any of you guys attend shows you would see that Chick is one of the coolest guys out, and does represent the bodybuilding community well. No matter where he is, having breakfast, walking down the hotel corridor... whatever...the guy will take the time to speak to anyone and everyone about bodybuilding. He is always friendly and personable while some other of the pros act like they are the next coming of Christ. The fact that he even posts on this board should somewhat attest to that. While most pros would not dare dream of posting here [under their real name I might add] cause they don't want to hear the shit, Chick just keeps on posting while being flamed to death.

Let the 'meltdown' posts begin ;D

So when did you and Chick have breakfast together?

Well - well - well - first of all - OnlyMe and Shawn - you two are hitting below the belt - both of you have been in the industry a while, so discuss the facts objectively, not resorting to some baseless pics and attacks (or if you want to, show the pic once, not on every thread).

Second of all, I am amazed the the Orlando Pro promoter would be allowed to promote anything. He needs to pay the athletes that he owes money first and foremost. No doubt about it.

The Pittsburgh show has been around for a long time, and although no one was walking about it then, the fact that you would have two IFBB Pro shows (at the same weekend, different types of competition) is still amazing. But the IFBB and the NPC knew about this, and Wayne was involved in this, when they scheduled it, and they didn't see a problem????

Most supplement companies, on a big show, have one crew to go out there. If you schedule two events on the same weekend, which will the sponsors go to. It is a tough decision, and if I was a sponsor, would I miss Jim Manion's Pittsburgh show over an untested show. Probably not, especially if I had been going there every year.

Local NPC shows can happen on the same weekend. It is tough, for we sponsor the local NPC California shows, yet sometimes the Orange County Muscle Classic is on the same weekend as the Emerald Cup. Yes, choices have to be made.

But the promoter of the Orlando Pro show knew about this, and he chose to promte the show. I hope that with any money he make make from the PDI show, that he will keep the promises that he made to me (and I did talk to him about it last year) and will pay off the athletes that he owes. If not, then we will hound him until he makes good on it.

Wayne has told me that the promoter said he will use whatever money is made for the amatuer show through tcket sales, entry fee, etc will be used to pay off the past competitors.  But also, why hasn't Ben Weider or the IFBB paid Darrem and then go after the promoter.  This should have been done if the IFBB was looking out for its athletes.  They could have easily sued the promoter and got the money back.  But they showed no support for the athlete.

IN SAG if you don't get paid they are in your corner with legal advice and everything else it takes to get your money.  This is called support for the members

We all know this isn't even remotely close to SAG. It's more then just Darrem that is owed money. Payment should have come from the promoter. End of story - nice try on passing the buck back on the IFBB though. What about the point of this individual having a clothing business - surely he makes enough income off that to pay off his debt. 2 years and these guys still haven't been paid? No excuse can justify that.

You really do feel wronged by the IFBB and NPC don't you Kieth? What's the date of your PDI show?

It is a good thing that the Atletes Rep managed to put in place guarentees by the IFBB so this can't ever happen again.  Sorry I can't remember the name of the Athletes Rep right now, can you Keith?  ;)

  God bless Bob. :D

Boy I know Chic is your boyfriend but do really think he was the one who convinced the IFBB to guarantee prize money.  Are you that fucking stupid and ignorant.  You can idolize Chic all you want but do you think he has any power whatsoever to command an organization 40+ years old to all of a sudden guarantee payment.  Are you truly that fucking stupid. 

Jesus, Chic is a nice guy but he is not remotely close to having power like that.  I have a funny feeling you and Lift Pud are related, the same person or just gay lovers or something.  You two are almost alike.  get over it.  You don't think the PDI will succeed fine.  You support an organization that has the reputation of ripping off their members and not supporting them.  Good you made your choice.  It shows your character and your mindset.  The majorityof the BB do not like the IFBB but put up with it cause it WAS the only game in town.  Well no longer are they the only game in town.  SO either the IFBB better straighten up or they will lose.  See I have my reason not to like who I don't like, I have had my own experiences with them. 

So I have a right to say what I want about them.  You have never had a dealing with the PDI.  What all the negativity shows against the PDI is that you are scared it could be a success.  That is a fact.  If not you wouldn't say a thing.  And you should be scared, cause what the PDI has planned is 100 times better than what the IFBB offers.  Flat and Simple.

Wow don't ask questions about the PDI.  How can you say in many threads about what Bob hasn't done and then in this one (between the profanity) that he has no power to make any changes. 
btw I never attacked you...EVER!
Mr. Onlyme is "confused" hence his anger and hostility, with his new addition - gay bashing. You know since we are gay lovers, Ms. NiceRacq. ::)

Let it go big guy. Just when we think you can't talk out of your ass any more you show up and do it yet again.

Okay.  I post pieces that I have been given permission to share.  I know more that I cannot share, and I don't claim to know it all.  I'm just like anyone else- helping the PDI grow so the IFBB treats their guys right.

When BBers do well, the sport does well, and I sell more sites :)

I don't wish the IFBB to crash, but I do wish they'd judge fairly and pay better.  how can Gustavo take 3rd at the O after NOT RECEIVING A COMPARISON with either Jay or Ronnie?   AND, after winning the challenge round?  It's unfair.

We all know this isn't even remotely close to SAG. It's more then just Darrem that is owed money. Payment should have come from the promoter. End of story - nice try on passing the buck back on the IFBB though. What about the point of this individual having a clothing business - surely he makes enough income off that to pay off his debt. 2 years and these guys still haven't been paid? No excuse can justify that.

Isaac, please stop speaking matter of factly on things that you have absolutely no idea about.

I am amazed the the Orlando Pro promoter would be allowed to promote anything. He needs to pay the athletes that he owes money first and foremost. No doubt about it.

The Pittsburgh show has been around for a long time, and although no one was walking about it then, the fact that you would have two IFBB Pro shows (at the same weekend, different types of competition) is still amazing. But the IFBB and the NPC knew about this, and Wayne was involved in this, when they scheduled it, and they didn't see a problem????

Most supplement companies, on a big show, have one crew to go out there. If you schedule two events on the same weekend, which will the sponsors go to. It is a tough decision, and if I was a sponsor, would I miss Jim Manion's Pittsburgh show over an untested show. Probably not, especially if I had been going there every year.

But the promoter of the Orlando Pro show knew about this, and he chose to promte the show. I hope that with any money he make make from the PDI show, that he will keep the promises that he made to me (and I did talk to him about it last year) and will pay off the athletes that he owes. If not, then we will hound him until he makes good on it.

All of the details surrounding the entire issue will be coming to light very soon, this I guarantee. They have been oppressed up until know for various reasons. Stay tuned....

I am well aware that the athletes still haven't been paid and this promoter is responsible for paying them. 2 years without paying the athletes. Oh what there is more to it then his obligation to pay the competitors? It speaks to his character and now the PDI's character that he is their first show promoter.

That's not top secret information and is pretty much matter of fact as it gets. How can you dispute that?

Okay good he now covers the prize money.  A little late but it is done now and good job Chic.  Getting a little tiresome arguing with idiots like Lift Pud and now Nice Rag.  You guys hang with the IFBB who has the reputation and history of not supporting the BB's and actually going in reverse rather than forward in progression.  There are how many IFBB competitions 3 maybe 4 or 5 a year.  Only the top 5 to 8 make any real money from actual competition.  The majority of the registered IFBB pros don't even compete or they compete only once a year.  No short person will ever win a major contest. The judging has been known to be shady for many years. 

The PDI has no history, yet you bash it everyday.  I know you can be loyal to something but at sometime you have to realize you are supporting something that is going nowhere.  The biggest BB show in history is the biggest BB joke in history at the same time.  Are you proud of that too.  ??? I give up arguing with you I will go ahead and support Wayne cause at least he is doing something positive.  I can't stand being negative and you guys make me very negative.  Go ahead make fun of me on how big I am now.  Thats all the ammo you guys got. But like my therapist always told me.  "Keith it's better to be a has been than a never will be."  hehe I love that line. ;D

Damn Keith you really do have your head up your ass as of late. Maybe all that sunning you are doing is frying your brain.

What rock have you been living under?

Are you claiming that in the PDI the competitors out of the top 8 will make any "real money"? What organization is going to pay a 15th place guy "real money" - hey you showed up and we'll overlook the fact that you suck but here's 10 grand. Paaahlllease.

WTF - again are you living in a f'n cave? Um ya Keith I'm going to have to ask you to stop talking out of your ass, yet again. Last I checked, your newly appointed golden boy of the PDI is no frickin tower and just won the IRONMAN.

How is it bashed? By asking questions and stating the obvious? Are Lee and Vince good competitors - yes and until then it had no credibility. Will more info come out? Of course but don't expect everyone to be on Wayne's sack because not all of us are living bitter lives of NPC/IFBB past. Let it go and move on with your life.

But like my therapist always told me.
Perhaps you need an extra session, because YOU are the negative one. Disrespecting the Weiders with your continual "weiner" posts. You were an NPC/IFBB guy until you lost your ass on a show and you're still bitter about it. Being a PDI promoter won't change that and chances are highly likely you will fall flat on your face attempting to promote one of their shows.

Wow, guess I saved you the money for your extra therapy session. Now go back under that rock.

I am w/ you Isaac. This Keith onlyme guy has the biggest NPC/IFBB chip on his shoulder I have ever seen. Talk about someone w/ the most closed minded views I have ever heard.

The NPC/IFBB could hand out  million dollar contracts to every athlete tomorrow and Keith would find away to bitch and moan and complain.

I think Isaac and I and about a kazillion other people are just sick of his whining.

And don't forget he supposedly put on this awesome contest,  that was the best promoted show ever, and no other promoter treats the athletes like he did yak yak yak waw waw waw. Just go away already.

Actually I didn't have a huge chip on my shoulder even though I should until coming on here.  I usually let things go after a short while and leave it as a lesson in life and take whatever financial hit with a grain of salt.  But since I come on here so much and read what some of you people think about these things it brings back the nightmares.  You (if it applies) along with some others on here talk out of their ass when they praise the IFBB or NPC, Weiders or Manion.  You talk like they are god.  Like they can do no wrong.  Well what that tells me is you NEVER dealt with them directly. You go by what you hear or read.  Sorry, but I go by real life facts and things that happened to me personally and the people around me.  I know people that have known Manion before he was NPC chairman.  I know who voted him in.  My kids godfather has so many stories I beg him to come on here but no computer.  So I see your gods as nothing but people who take advantage of others who either don't know any better or don't have a choice.  Now the PDI is here offering a choice so I am behind them all the way.  I could care less if the IFBB stays around.  It is literally impossible for them to fold, but no matter what the PDI is here and it's going to make everything allot better and intersting to say the least.

See, now there you go saying things just to say them.  This is like saying Jocelyn Pelliteir will win this years Olympia or next years.  IMPOSSIBLE WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

If you are sick of it then leave.  Bye Bye.  Don't read my posts.  Simple dipshit.  Don't read.  It's guys like you with no guts who let people take advantage of you while theymake the money and you don't.  Have some balls and speak up.  You type a good game but thats it.  I've lived the game I don't live it through the internet. 

hehe  ;D  another waste of space and time.  You are one of theose internet jockeys who couldn't make it in the real world so you come on here and act like you know.  And lets pretend like you do know.  Then you are as ignorant as the guys who don't.

Half the people talk on here out of their asses. No experience, no knowledge no nothing.  I may get some and probably allot of stuff mixed up in my translation but I do know what I am talking about and I do not speak out of my huge ass (as Shawn would say).  Lately I have been pretty shitty on here cause I am getting frustrated defending the PDI against guys who are hoping it fails from the start. Idon't need to defend the PDI or Wayne.  Wayne must have done someting right cause he has been around along time and Manion and the Weiders had him running the biggest BB shows in the world.  And it was proven that he was a major part of their success because it immeidatly went downhill very fast.

Anyway, I have decided not to argue with you guys anymore cause it is useless.  I will go ahead and support Wayne and work on my show.  It looks like its going to be great.  Stay tuned.

And yes the guys who are going say meltdown, owned or pwned or whatever else.  DOubt it.  I'm way stronger mentally and physically than you can imagine.  I have always been upfront my whole life and rarely hide anything.  SO if that is called meltdown then please melt away and try to include some fat with it. ;D

  This post is definitely long enough to qualify................. .............Meltdown.
