    The VIPs are all sold out, though, aren't they?

    How much more money do they stand to gain by offering a VIP PPV, too? I'd pay to watch a high quality uninterrupted stream.

    Do you remember The Rock making an announcement about his studio 7Bucks partnering up with AMI? Is there anything new about that?

    I found the following, but it's from months ago.

    Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson & Dany Garcia Partner With Mr. Olympia To Showcase Bodybuilding

    AMI joins forces with superstar talent to produce the ultimate muscle exhibition!

    By National ENQUIRER Staff
    Feb 1, 2016

    Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s famous muscles are coming to Mr. Olympia!

    Seven Bucks Productions, co-founded by Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia, is partnering with Mr. Olympia, LLC, a division of American Media Inc. (AMI), to bring bodybuilding center stage.

    The production company, responsible for hits like HBO’s “Ballers,” the documentary film “Rock and a Hard Place” and the upcoming “Baywatch” movie, will first take on Mr. Olympia Weekend, the premier event in the sport of bodybuilding.

    “This big boy never had dreams of stepping onto the MR. OLYMPIA stage, but ever since I was 14 years old, I valued one core fundamental belief, which is my success is directly tied to my WILL to push myself and work hard in the weight room daily,” Johnson wrote on Facebook. “And that WILL in people is what we want to showcase to the world. Whether you’re an amateur athlete, pro athlete or weekend warrior — male or female — all ages — it all starts and ends with what we accomplish in the weight room. This’ll be fun!”

    The Rock along with Garcia, one of the country’s top female professional bodybuilders, will join Mr. Olympia on the road to Mr. Olympia Weekend, which will be held September 15-18 in Las Vegas, Nev.

    “This is a passion project for not only myself but the entire Seven Bucks Production family. We are absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to highlight an event that that has shaped the world of bodybuilding and touches every aspect of the fitness community. We are committed to working with AMI to bring the greatest level of showmanship and entertainment to the athletes, audience and viewers,” said Garcia.

    “Seven Bucks Productions, Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia are a committed, dedicated and creative force in the entertainment industry,” said AMI Chairman and CEO David J. Pecker. “The Mr. Olympia weekend has continued to grow in size, attendance and excitement leading up to last year’s record-setting event featuring the largest competitive purse in the sport. Combining the passion, creativity and incredible knowledge of the sport that Dwayne and Dany possess with the momentum of the event ensures that the 2016 Mr. Olympia will be the most exciting in its 50-year history.”

    I was flipping through the current FLEX on the newsstand and Dany Garcia still has that little blurb/partial page column that they have been running for a while. So I am guessing that she (and The Rock, because she calls all his business-related shots) are still involved with AMI.

    I just assumed Dany was a man. Duh.

    Is Garcia his ex wife? Thought I remembered that his ex was his agent or business advisor?

    Yes Dany Garcia was his wife and an IFBB physique competitor.

    And yes the webcast will be through Flex.

    No need to worry.

    Although they are no longer together as a couple, she still is his PR person and is a pain in the ass. When I worked for MD and was writing an article on the movie with The Rock and Marky Mark, I wanted to get a few quotes from Dwayne Johnson. I spoke to her on the phone (Blechy was amazed that she returned my call, saying that she has always blown them off) and asked for a few minutes on the phone with him or even having me send questions that he can answer via e-mail. She kept saying he doesn't have the time.

    I had to resort to writing a 'Ron Harris Special,' a steaming pile of diarrhea using smoke and mirrors without direct quotes from the article's main subject. At least I made sure to keep it third person, so it was one step above the typical Harris Horseshit.
