Shawn Ray should get smart and fly Rusty to Denver for his show...

Imagine 240 how much talk there would be if Bob entered the show to prove his victory was legit. The story would blow up. It would go down in the annuls of Getbig history. Bob should at least do it for Sean. I mean obviosly Sean needs help with promotion - who host a show in Colorado?

It'll be cool to see is Dave Henry can bring a lifetime best condition.  It'll be cool to see how Heath looks after bulking up, and to see if Chad Nicholls was right that "Heath isn't ready yet!".  It'll be cool to see Haley's first show after the manslaughter accident in Florida, and if he'll carry himself differently.  Haider- will he bring up his game in this reduced field and grab his first win? He'll certainly be pulling out all the stops.   And Arntz- is this for real?  What'll be in those shoulders?  I know we're all looking fwd to the pics.  And of course, Strydom's comeback.  This will be good!



Wait, I'm doing LIFT's job now haha...

Add Rusty to the mix... NOW we have a feelgood story for this show!

[Oliver Klaushof]

They should hire you 240! You're an idea man. 

[bigdumbbell]

I agree 1000%.

Unfortunately, "experts" like Lift claim that fans are only excited about a Darrem vs. Haider showdown

 

why did they focus group that match up?

Also, PayPal and schmoe sites clash bigtime.  Anytime you show skin and border on sex sites, paypal can often freeze it. What some FBBs consider fitness & art, the PayPal board considers smut/offensive.

True, in general, but we're doing really well with Paypal (you would not believe the number of people they've successfully enslaved) - we just make sure that the Paypal junkies pay an added premium for choosing that billing option. 

Of course, the trouble all begins and ends with VISA, but that's a story for another day.

Should be good show.

Not nearly as funny as your business savvy.  How'd that go, something like don't promote the show with a prize because the prize has to go up every year.  BRILLIANT  You could save hundreds of promoters all over the country currently making the same mistake!!! LOL...

If you're addressing the paypal adult trouble, it started with the feds bribing paypal to change their terms of use regarding mature material in exchange for dropping violations against the patriot act with their support of on-line gambling sites.  But of course I can't confirm the truth to that.

Yea something like that Um spend $30,000 on a Hummer for the first show.  Already over budget.  Let anyone who comes to the show enter to win for free.  Be sure not to even charge to go into the expo.  Expo space costs money.  Um another good business move.  Pay hard cash for the Hummer.  Don't get it Free or at least dealers cost for trade for advertising and promotion.  Have a autograph signing at the dealership.  Include them in the poster. Trade for value save $30,000 still get Hummer.  UM another good business move.  So far you are doing a great job.  Keep it up.  Hang in there and be sure to buy Shawn's DVD on show promotion and how to save money on a show.  Or his other big selling DVD, how to ream sponsors into paying for everything, but for only one show.  Cause after this fiasco.................. . well we'll see won't we.  But so far it loks great.  At least he is taking care of the competitors.  Oh, that's not being done either.  Well I'm sure somewhere in this clusterfuck something is good.

This of course coming from a guy that recommends people take a 2 day train trip to save 100 bucks.  Yea we'll see I guess..
