Arnold cuts ties with The Arnold Classic...

[Pumpdogg]

It was only a matter of time before he sold out... Hate to see it happen, but it is the reality of politics...

PD

I agree that he should not bash what and where he came from, but at the same time, people's priorities change in different stages of their lives. You may be doing something totally different in 30 years and be wondering WTF you were thinking when you were doing what you are doing now.

its alot more then just saying to yourself, "what was i doing back then", this is something that gave him the reason for being in this country. this is something made him. without bodybuilding you would not know who arnold is. you cant just look back and forget about something that has made you.

Lots of times one's loyalties are lost when one enters career politics.

You are right, B! I can't argue with that.

[Shibby]

I can't argue with that.

:eek: really? lol

[bad14u]

So...what will it be called now, if not the "Arnold Classic"?

[Bouncer]

im sure it will still be called arnold classic.

[beefcake]

It'll be the "ferrigno classic." LOL. I think flex wheeler should step up and be in there. That would good for the sport.

be where? compete?

[beefcake]

be where? compete?

No, not compete, but be a part of it like arnold was, since now arnold is out. I think the influence of a former bb is what keeps the arnold top notch, unlike the olympia that is run by bureaucrats.

ya but arnold was an icon. everyone around the world knew him. go ask your next door neigboor if they know who flex wheeler is. the answer would be no. the show will still be run by the same people. i just think arnold wont have much to do with it.
