Kai Greene given special invite to Olympia 2017
And he liked it! I'm sure it's all been worked out with The Rock, Pecker, Manion, Chang and company. Kai will get a nice paycheck to give this televised Olympia some added appeal.

We'll know by the beginning of the week if Kai takes the bait. No time to waste.- BODYBUILDING -

He can't win.
Best years are behind him. Love Kia but he is like 45 and his physique was its best in 2010 or so minus the olympia condition problem, just in terms of potential it had. His delts were fuller looking then, his back, legs, and pecs were thicker etc.
While he still had a lot in 2011, 2012, and 2013 by 2014 it was apparent he wasn't the old Kai and even in 2016 he wasn't.

Win or not, this would be big news & a welcome reversal of the recent trend of pros shifting to enterprise (usually supplement companies & expo appearances) & social media. Hope he does do the O. It will add to the event.

Hmmmm. This could get very entertaining. Last year Kevin, this year Kai. Doesn't matter if they win. It DOES add another dimension, which IMO is good for bodybuilding.2016 RX Member of the Year & March 2015 Member of the Month

I'd really be interested in more there? Lol
Social media is huge but, no, that alone won't get anyone an Olympia invite. Gotti, Kai is popular but he also has the physique to step on stage.
Honza, I believe social media could have kept MuscleMag International in the game. Really wish Robert Kennedy would have embraced it.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

Yes this is embarassing.....this is like the NBA saying well LeBron you didn't make the finals....but we'll make an exception...hell bring Jordan back just for the finals and throw him on a team
But you know the ifbb isnt really run with quality so they do stuff like this because of the need for moneyLast edited by Young Gotti; 07-01-2017 at 05:00 PM.

Kai deserves an invite. Now the ball is in his court.
As for Musclemag, I will continue the discussion on the thread I started on the mag.

I heard even Trump is on standby if Kai Greene is doing the Olympia. Come on Kai Greene don't let our Country down. The USA, IFBB and the fitness world need your bro

If Kai shows up he will get the title. The ifbb is looking for ways to keep things interesting. After Jay Cutler stop competing, the open class took a big hit. Phil looks great but he doesnt have the personality the ifbb wants. He is not a good ambassador for the sport. Everything is about social media and they know that if Kai is the face, they will get the publicity that is needed. Everything now is mens physique, classic and bikini. A million athletes at npc and ifbb shows. By the time mens open goes up its like 11pm. Mens open is lacking. Bad..!!!

Was watching a Lui Marco video and he said the same thing. Ramy can speak English well now. Marco speaks Arabic, doesn't he?
Funny thing about Lui Marco is that he followed the money. I watched his YouTube channel or content years and years ago when he had nothing to do with the IFBB. His channel was all about food and natural bodybuilding. No steroids was his angle, but you see where he's at now. Switched his focus to suck up the clicks and those AdSense dollars. Who could blame him, but it says something about his crediblity, imo. I mean he started building his channel on the idea that natty was awesome and then swung over to IFBB coverage (I'm guessing) to earn some serious money (guessing again).
But on topic Kai Greene special invite...
People -- fans and competitors alike... or some of them -- complained about Levrone's special invite. "He didn't earn it!" and "Why should he be able to just walk in off the street?" That kind of sentiment.
Well, if Kai does accept the invite, isn't it the same thing? Won't there be a big fat asterisk if he wins the title? And would he be the first Sandow recipient who received it by way of a win associated with a gift? Of course, Kai has earned the opportunity to compete, but you just have to know that people, at least some (probably Phil included) are going to call foul whether Kai wins or not.Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!
