rAJJIN · Apr 10, 2006

well,
My Wife and I met Craig Titus here at a local show Just weeks before
all that went down with him...
Honestly Just from a few minutes talking with him He seem like a pretty cool fella.

Goes to show I guess It hard to Judge a person Untill you Realy get to know them over time.

MikeS · Apr 10, 2006

like-Leverone/Palumbo/Gunter/Vince Taylor/Aaron Baker-Dave Dearth/Chris Cook/Brad Hollibaugh/Labrada/Bob Chicarello

Dont like-Lou Ferrigno/Coleman

Much more guys are cool than not. Several not mentioned are just quiet-laid back, like Priest/Cutler.

Ya, I hear that good ol Lou has turned into a genuine ass. and that he
charges to take his picture. And suing his own brother because he was
using Lou's fame to promote his gym. Big deal. He should be helping little
brother out anyway.

likes Dorian, Arnold
dislikes See above.

Yea at his booth at the Arnold he had girls out front stopping people from taking pics, telling them they had to pay to take one.

About Lou the poo-exactly. They literally have a crew keeping people away from him. Almost everyone else at the expo is accessable. Dickhead-the worst by far.

JETHRO TULL · Apr 11, 2006

SO FAR I LIKED ALL THE PRO GUYS I'VE MET EXCEPT ONE.

REALLY LIKE GUNTER...HE WAS COOL AS HELL. I ALSO LIKE RONNIE, JAY, LEE PRIEST, BRAD HOLIBAUGH, DEXTER JACKSON, ALL GOOD GUYS.

THE ONE PRO I'VE MET THAT I ACTUALLY WANTED TO PUNCH IN THE MOUTH WAS PAUL DILLET. HE WAS IN THE HOTEL LOBBY WALKING AROUND WITH HIS CELL PHONE...HEAD UP...LIKE EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHO HE IS....SWEARING LOUDLY ALL THROUGH HIS LONG ASSED CONVERSATION. HE KEPT ON DROPPING THE F-WORD IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WITH KIDS CHECKING IN THE HOTEL...FOLKS WOULD SORTA LOOK OVER AT HIM..BUT HE WAS SO GHETTO-FABULOUS HE DIDN'T BOTHER TO THINK ABOUT THE WAY HIS ACTIONS CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT BODYBUILDERS. A RUDE COCKSUCKER WAS MY IMPRESSION OF PAUL DILLET.

WE WERE DISGUSTED AND WENT TO THE ROOM TO WAIT FOR THE GUYS WHO WERE TAKING PICTURES....WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE AROUND 'KING PAUL' IN THE LOBBY. GOOFY LOOKING BASTARD ANYWAY...LONG ASSED NECK AND THOSE DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS EYEBALLS...BIG GAP IN BETWEEN HIS FRONT TEETH TOO. GOOD THING HE HAD A GREAT PHYSIQUE....BECAUSE HE'S AN UGLY FELLA. MAYBE THAT WAS JUST A BAD DAY....BUT, HE CERTAINLY LEFT A BAD IMPRESSION ON EVERYONE WITHIN EARSHOT THAT DAY.

massmonster32 · Apr 11, 2006

Like
Sandra Blackie, Gunther, Mike M,Craig titus,Rich G, Strydom,Lee L,Matt M,Chris C,
Didnt like really just one KEVIN L RUDE AAROGANT NO TIME FOR FANS ATTITUDE. Maybe he was just having a bad day though so I dunno.

Craig, Lee L, Chris C where the most down to earth inspiring awesome and Craig was kwell to hang out with. Others but these just stand out. MM

Coopie · Apr 11, 2006

Ran into Lee Priest in the airport two years ago and we chatted for a good 20 minutes. He was very nice, kinda funny, and I can't say a bad thing about meeting him.

dwayno · Apr 11, 2006

I met Orville Burke once at my teen state when I won and he was real nice to me and even my mom!!! I had some pix with him it was 2002 and he was like 280---nicest guy, saw me with my trophies and stopped me to talk--fcking amazed me, then months later that damned photo shoot happened

dwayno · Apr 11, 2006

Chris Cormier was at my Jr state once---nice to me but most of the time he couldnt stand up without leanin on something or he was on his cell phone------------damn good guest poser but was only out there for 10mins total cause of a "stomach virus"

he had in 2004 at the show---still went out tho adn talked to me

bigguy01 · Apr 11, 2006

i met Dexter Jackson & he was really cool...Dave Palumbo is pretty cool also...

bigguy01 · Apr 11, 2006

i met Dexter Jackson & he was really cool...Dave Palumbo is pretty cool also...i also talk to Mark Dugdale here & there, cant say a bad thing about Mark!

gooey · Apr 11, 2006

I think...

Cutler is a great guy... I know AWN2004 will give me some serious shit since I always talk him up... but the guy is a down to earth, non shit-talking, very open person. Little arrogance and a good communicator. And he knows his stuff. He doesnt live the stereotypical lifestyle that other BBers choose to live with rec drugs and stippers or what not. Worx all day and puts his time in. He isnt to good to talk to anyone nor has he been rude to people cause of his status. My fav hands down.

bigbaldbulldog · Apr 11, 2006

I hav yet to hear a good thing about Lou F and after several years i still hear he is a dick.. i guess that is why he is where he is and Arnold is where is so too speak.. Being a good guy can get you further then being a dick IMO..

Glad to see 98% of us have had great experiences and it goes to show ya most of the pros are smart gracious guys...

Jay is a very cool guy. We usually only see the pros at expos or big shows, but I usually see Jay about once a week at the gym. He's always comes to say hi to me and he's willing to answer questions from guys at the gym.

I can't really say that I've met a pro that was a total a**hole though. Like I said, most of the time we meet these guys they are dieting for shows and having to sit at an expo booth all day and they handle it very well. The only guy that ever seemed dis-interested was Kevin Levrone. Dennis James, Lee P., Melvin Anthony, Ernie Taylor, Dorian, King Kamali, Tom Prince, Gunter, Mike Matarrazo, Bob Chic, Orville Burke, Nasser, Chris Cormier, Vince Taylor, and even Craig Titus were very nice when I met them. I'm sure there's more but that's who I remember.
