I went to the WSE a few times being only an hour or so away and it was great in it's day. I only watched the strength stuff when I did or mingled around. BBing is too boring. Strength shows are not. Plus the girls can be off season instead of shredded, dehydrated, and tanned too much. Even they hate it.
I've said something of the like before, strength shows are a real objective measure of who's the better, whereas a BBing contest is subjective, depending on the arbitrary whims of the judges of that given moment.
I wish that event or something like it would come back. Unfortunately, Kenny Kassel, who ran the wse show, passed a month ago.
The sponsorship is lacking…tough. These tough economics times might make even the normal schedule of bbing tough.
Yes, I read about Kenny's passing last month, didn't even know that he was ill or anything. Without a doubt its extremely rare to find someone like him that not only had the deep personal interest in the sport, but even more importantly had the ability to organize/sponsor an event of that caliber. He's left a huge vacuum, and I think it will be a long time before anyone arises to fill the shoes he left behind.
I can say this Alex on a positve note. I'm in for a ticket atwwhatever price too. That makes two of us already. ;D Now we just need sponsors and a date.
Indeed!
