Guesses.....

Am I disqualified because I know some names but can't divulge them as per the off-the-record agreement with Lee Thompson?

You can guess....as long as your charity doesn't have your first or last name in the title!

Tony Freeman....there is a guy who is never going to win the O and has an established fan base. Might he just say "F%€$ it" and play his cards hoping it will turn out?

I won't throw any names out there myself but I would love to comment on some being mentioned. Mike L and Freeman are both established pros that are at the 'end of the bench,' to use a sports term, in the IFBB. They would be interesting names but neither possesses that 'wow' factor.

Thompson is merely trickling some names out now with these posts but would anyone be surprised if on November 8 there are multiple shockers?

I don't really expect much "Wow" factor. Do people know that Dr. J came from the ABA before it merged with the NBA?

Also do the masses know that Jim Manion worked for the AAU before he started the NPC? Bet they didn't know that!

A lot of superstars were from the ABA - George Gervin, George McGinnis, Moses Malone, Connie Hawkins, Artis Gilmore, as well, and even Larry Brown.

Part of the interview that I did with Lee Thompson touched on the fact that Jim Manion broke away from not only the AAU, but also the union that was behind it, to form the NPC. And no one gave him any shit for it and he was lauded as a genius. (The AAU was Bob Hoffman's old organization.)

If the names we spoke about do in fact join NPC Global, there will be plenty of wow factor to be spread around the different categories, not just men's bodybuilding.

Everyone will come back with...ronnie placed outside the top 10, jay placed out of the top 10!
You will know in your heart if you are a jay or ronnie...or a perennial also ran. Also ran may consider the jump.

P. S. The also rans in the ifbb are an awesome looking bunch of dudes!

qft!!!!

Just take that $50 and buy me a bag of weed and we are good!

**bigmikecox** · 10-05-2015, 01:24 PM

I could see Freeman leaving. Make a few bucks before its time to retire. But if he gets someone in that top 5 at the O or a DLB, he will be in business. I emailed Lee and asking about some shows down here in Florida.

The question is WHY would they go? What can Thompson possibly offer them? These guys are pros gunning for the Olympia. Thompson can't replace a single thing they're getting now in the IFBB.
