damn wonder what he was arrested for keep us updated.. I hate hearing shit like this... wonder when my time will be is how I look at it.

 

[RIV]

wonder if he was trying to get gear past airport security? i dont think he would try that but what the hell would he be arrested for?

 

[Ivan]

Well

All I know is the SF airport has always been a major pain when it comes to security. I have been hassled there more than once! I also know that SF is home to CUSTOMS importation and they work w/ the airlines...

 

[MikeS]

Shit that sucks ass! Mike M is a very cool guy, met him several times.

 

[LATS]

rumor has it that he was not arrsted for anything roid related...it will be a few days before we know the facts i imagine....

 

[massmonster32]

That really sucks if the air port hassled him. Believe me I know it really sucks for some reason I get picked out for practically a body search the works everytime.

I am clean cut etc but never fails. My girl had been waived through last time on vacation and the azzholes once they saw she was with me asked to research shoes frisk the works after she had already been let through.

Seems like the airport people are going over board I am a veteran served in the Military for 12years. Saudi for 7mos. and still get treated like crap I think since we work out they just try to get you to lose your cool (jealousy). Hope all works out for him. MM

From what I've heard?, "Rodney St. Cloud" is the new guest poser.

Yeah SF has not been kind to some of us involving our cards.

well, I hope he gets out of this, and remember to be smart when you are traveling. HE probably travels so much, he just got a bit lazy and got snagged.

Update on Mad Mazz

MATARAZZO IN AIRPORT SNAFU
Minor scuffle leads to arrest
By Jim Schmaltz

Mike Matarazzo found out the hard way how bracingly tight airport security is in post 9/11 America. The IFBB superstar was at San Francisco Airport on July 3 intending to travel to the small Caribbean island of Antigua for a guest-posing spot, when he discovered that he lacked the necessary documents for international travel. Matarazzo, told by the show's Antigua promoter that the trip didn't require a passport, protested to the airport check-in clerk and the situation deteriorated from there. Matarazzo, never the wilting wallflower, apparently made his point a bit too exuberantly.

"I admit I was quite loud," Matarazzo told FLEXonline. "They called security and then the police, who decided to handcuff me. They put my hands behind my back, which given my size was quite difficult, and as I tried to get into position, I sort of bowled over one of the cops. So they arrested me."

Mad Mazz is an approachable, friendly fellow, but a person unfamiliar with his high-intensity ways may have feared the worst, especially when it comes in the form of 250 pounds of bulging, vein-popping muscle. Considering the jittery nerves of airport personnel these days, it's no surprise that a misunderstanding like this would elicit strong reactions from authorities. Nobody's taking chances these days.

Matarazzo, ever the gregarious professional, didn't take it personally. "They kept me in jail over the weekend, and I ended up signing some autographs for some of my cop fans," he said. Sure, Mike likes to be booked for guest spots, but not in this definition of the term.

Matarazzo paid a nominal fine and was released. No charges will be filed. The incident is closed.

In the future, Mad Mazz vows to resolve conflicts a bit more quietly. "I've learned my lesson," he said. "From now on when I go to the airport, I'll put duct tape over my mouth."

Good deal

I am very happy that it ended like that....On a side note, this is typical idiot police BS.

 

[Steak Helmet]

Glad to hear it was that and not something worse.

 

[quadster5]

another victim of scociety id say.

 

[JustWannaBeHuge]

well i'm glad he's not in any MAJOR trouble. i jumped to conclusions and thought he may have been busted for...well ya know.

all the times i saw on on tv and even read about him in old BB mages, he's seemed like a really cool guy. hope none of his sponsers drop him like some guys are saying they may.

[mike man]

Good ending

To what could have been a very terrible story.

 

[bigDave]

good stuff! Mike is a champ, honestly but i think i would have done the same thing given the circumstances at the airport!

 

[smallsparrow]

too bad

what's screwed up is that the promoter told Mike that he didn't need a passport to get there.........and was wrong about that......Mike is trying to get to the show, probably shouldn't have acted the way he did, but admits he was wrong.....which is a stand-up thing to do.......but that promoter acted like an a$$ by immediately dissing Mike and saying he got someone better, after he was the reason why the trouble started in the first place!!!!

thats just f@cked up to me.......peace and stay safe.......ss.
