Thats what I'm hoping for too headhunter.

Rhino, that would be great to compete in Europe, huh?  I've always wanted to go there.

Why did Wayne not want to include fitness and figure?  Seems like there is a lot of interest there.

Just for the fact that the Night of Champions will be under PDI this September, and with most people thinking it will fail, and hoping the guys that are going in as first time pro's...people will want this to fail so much...they will go to the show to see it happen, and it will be a sell out...LOL

Vinny...great point....all eyes will be on the fed to watch it fail and the opposite will happen. I for one feel competition is good...heck it's great. It's time for some fresh faces, new placings and such. It will be a good mix of both big and small men and hopefully the judging will will be honest and forthright.

Hows this for an idea.....have little voting gimmicks set up to the audience seats and have a % of the the score cards be based on fan voting, say 10% or if that doesn't work, how about a "People's choice award?"

I think the other thing thats missing is the characters. We don't have guys like the barbarian brothers. It's not raw. It's not fun. All we have is this guy is gay or going to prison or gonna die. Make this fun, and people will come back. The drug thing will always be there but at some point someone has to tell the general public that shoving a needle in your ass doesn't constitute walking out looking like Lee Priest. PDI has a chance to pull in guys who may not be able to touch guys like Ronnie but would certainly appeal to the broad spectrum of the folks who lift weights. I've been reading the mags for year and must have missed something. There are a ton of threads dedicated to the "golden age" of BB. How many young guys ask " Onlyme" what was it like to be in the gym with...  It's gotten stale now This is new and I hope it succeeds.

Chick is going back to breaking balls on a moderate level, to build up steam for his next onslaught on 240 Jack, its nothing any of us can stop, he is out for revenge and is tryin to re establish himself as a credible source as oppse to a mudslinging Pro who targets internet dudes and accuses them of blatant racism.

I don't know Wayne's ultimate long-term plan, but he wants to take one step at a time. 

I think there's added value in including gorgeous, fit women in the program, but that's not a part of the PDI's initial event strategy.  Once their core product offering builds up some momentum, I predict they will add women.

I would think that is a very logical statement.

What i think is cool is the catch 22. The guys who were Rhino haters, now they know me, are Team Rhino! And seriously, it is because of all you guys and gals out there, that I have become so poular, I think it is awesome! We should have a getbig section at the NOC.

Why did Wayne not want to include fitness and figure?  Seems like there is a lot of interest there.

Anyone?
