IFBB vs PDI Virtual Line up

[Spicy Shushi]

Which posedown would you pay to see? 

[LuciusFox]

 I don't see the PDI's lineup 

[240 is Back]

You can just call them 2, 1, 3, and 4.

See, we already know where they'll place this year.  And you don't see a problem with that?

[Adam Empire]

Since I only see one, I guess that one.

[240 is Back]

One of those lineups has guts on 3 of 4 competitors.
We already know the final lineup for the O. How fun is that?

The PDI's first show isn't for 5 months.  more guys are jumping, sushi.

You're right, Mr. 240.  I will have to remove Jack from the lineup as more competitors are announced.

[LifterChick]

You're right, Mr. 240.  I will have to remove Jack from the lineup as more competitors are announced.

OUCH

[240 is Back]

You're right, Mr. 240.  I will have to remove Jack from the lineup as more competitors are announced.

So honestly, Sushi, tell me...

If you had to attend a show and see
COLEMAN - CUTLER - GUSTAVO - GUNTER

Or, you could see a
PRIEST - TAYLOR - RICH JONES - MUSTAFA - ROCKEL - QUINCY T - STRYDOM - AHMAD - KING KAMALI - FLEX LEWIS - top rookies, and a wide variety of Euro guys you've never seen...

You'd still prefer 3 guys with guts in a boring show with a predictable finale?



You'd prefer the status quo?

[HRDCOR]

Is it just me or does my buddy Lee look the best out of all of them ?

He's too tall in that pic.  He won't come up to Jack's armpit.

CUTLER - COLEMAN - GUNTER - BADELL - MARTINEZ any day over your lineup. We've all seen these "Euro guys" you speak of and they are in the same shrimp boat as London. Which I noticed you left out of your line up.

The priest that sees tomorrow doesn't have much competition to deal with.

Although they were scouted (and heavily I might add), I can confirm 100% that King Kamali and Gary Strydom are in no way, shape, or form, nor will they be, part of the PDI. Please try to keep your posts factual.

Rhino is a top rookie, you eighth-wit.

Now seriously, though... aren't you at all tired of the guts?  Aren't you tired of the unfair judging?  Did you know that Gustavo didn't get a single comparison shot against #1 and 2 at the O?  And he WON the challenge round.

Geez... you gotta be getting a check from the IFBB not to see it's faults.  I'm the first to admit the PDI is still an incomplete thing, but its first show isn't for 5 months.  We have NO clue who will be in the top 5 at the NOC yet.  However, we all know who will be given the sandow in Oct

Top rookie in what, underwater basket weaving? He never was in the NPC and in the NABBA is still up for debate.

Even you admit he's not a pro.

And Bob is trying to get the judging changed.  I don't think anybody will disagree the judging is screwed up in the IFBB.  Even Jim Rockell has stated this needs to be changed.

So just what kind of judging criteria is the PDI going to use?  Who are the judges?
We know the poses but not how the athletes are going to be compared with each other.

Also you have posted that PDI won’t be drug tested but the Press Releases from Wayne all stated that they would be.  Which is it?

Yes we don't know who will win the NOC, but is that it because we don't even know who is competing.
The ASC is an IFBB event and you can't tell me that contest is a foregone conclusion.

The athletes themselves say Big Ron is in his own league, so why should you disagree with the guys who actually stand beside him?

...Back to being all Bitchy

i like the pdi a whole lot.     but every thing yove sad in this thread is really dumb.

for one...the only guy with a gut is mustafa that you named. other than him...everyone else controls it during their poses, and loook fine.  s econd of all....your forgetting martiinez, dexter jackson, branch warren, johnnie jackson, darrem charles and tons more...      and your logic is flawed...just because we know ronnie is going to win (actually we dont know that...jay didnt take an offseason and is still getting better and beter as mr.coleman was lying on his ass for three months) doesnt mean it wont be exciting.    thats like saying...we all know michael vick is going to run all over their defense, whats the point in watching him?  because hes the best, thats why.

the only thing the ifbb needs to do is put the challenge round back in the judging. take the posing round out, and make that its own contest.

I didn't know Flex Lewis is going to compete in the PDI.

[Undermind]

Ronnie wins because he's the best in the world (and didn't have much of a gut at the last O, by the way).  Jay is 2nd because he's 2nd best.

Lee Priest is somewhere between 6th and 10th best (and still wants to be in the O).  Vince Taylor was once great, but is no longer in the top 20.  Vinnie Galanti was judged the 5th best light-heavy in last year's pathetically weak NPC Nationals (Banks should've beat him), and 13th best light-heavy 2 years prior.  Rhino is the master's Mr. Delaware.

None of those other guys 240 mentioned are committed to PDI (and most people wouldn't care if they were).  Rockel, Mustafa and Priest are qualified for the O already, and I think at least Haidar should make it.  Flex Lewis?  No way in hell!  He'll sign with Weider the minute he wins his IFBB pro card this fall.  Anyone else in Europe who is any good is already struggling to make an impact in the IFBB, because they're just not that good.  There aren't any mystery names over there.

[gordiano]

Which posedown would you pay to see? 

We already know where your loyalties lie. Just give it up. We get the point.

We already know how the IFBB competitors in your pic would place. There is NO mystery there.

At least with PDI, we'll get something different.

[MisterMagoo]

damn, gus looks better than any of them in my opinion.

[an123]

Neither, paying money to greased up men in thongs isn't my style.

[LifterChick]

But collecting money from greased up men in thongs is right up your alley

Yo 240, when do you think Tamali and Strydom are going to announce their allegiance to the PDI?  And why tamali?  i thought the PDI wanted to go in a new direction--away from the big gutted, tiny limbed look.
