Geoff, here is my copy edit of your first paragraph.
(My edit: boldface notes changes)
The IFBB New York Pro holds the distinction of being the third most prestigious show in its league. Some may argue against this notion, but these disputes are really just an attempt to show respect for the other IFBB pro shows, as opposed to being a serious argument. The New York Pro's dominance is true not only because of the many big-name competitors who show up in New York every year, but also due to the deep history of the show. Once referred to as Night of Champions, the New York Pro has seen more legendary performances and unforgettable story lines than nearly any other IFBB show. This show has also been a launching pad into professional stardom for more than a few future hall-of-fame bodybuilders. This year's show is on shaky ground, but it has the potential to go down as one of the most memorable of its kind.

We need commentary like yours, Geoff. Not enough of it exists. Best of luck with your writing.

Some may argue against this fact, however these disputes are really just an attempt to show respect to all the other pro shows, as opposed to a serious argument. This fact is not only true because of the many big names which show up in New York every year, but also due to the deep history that resides amongst the show.

I think it's a great show personally. It's not falling apart by any means.

And this year's show was particularly good, except for Guy. But that wasn't the show's fault.

For what it's worth I've been following shows for years now and didn't even realize last week was the new York pro until akim Williams Instagram posted something about it....then I saw the line up and really had no interest in following

I think it's a curious phenom that bodybuilders as a group have been so opposed to some of the new categories of competition, but the NPC/IFBB is completely indifferent to what they think.
