well it's his first "big" pro show (The ASC is 2nd only to the O being the biggest I think) so no one should jab ya for that comment cause it kinda applies.
He's competed twice I believe his first show being 2 seasons ago at the Chicago pro and did not place very well. He won a Europa show beating Jon Delarosa last season and that's all. I think he deserves the attention he's gotten considering going he's won a pro show against some good up and coming talent and brought a physique that was wowing and was very conditioned. This Arnold is going to be a treat for fans we got this guy, Cedric who recently has done well but hasn't competed for a while I believe a full year, Evan who looks to be improved and of course Dexter going for 5. Those are just a few.
