Last year's winner Kai Greene

whats the latest with the competitor listings TD? Are there any with the guts to challenge Kai?

I am trying to get Dexter, Phil Heath, Ronny Rockel and Lee Priest to join Kai Greene.

There are a few others I am working on, Melvin, Freeman, Silvio, Sergey Shelestov, Roelly Winklaar and Hidetada Yamagishi.

I have had confirmations from Quincy Taylor, Vinnie Galanti and Dan Hill.

The only definite no is Denis Wolf who is waiting for the NY Pro.

I will confirm as the contracts are signed.

Branch is a freak, however he is a shit bloke and not on my list.

Its would be great line up to see three top bodybuilder if you can get Dexter and Phil Heath and Kai Greeen

Well from what I've experienced I think Dexter Jackson is a big tosser..... and i bet he won't come to Aus cos last time he was here he gave out a vibe like he didn't want to be here.....

Branch has been honest to me and polite on his forum......

BW behaved like a tosser when he was out screwing people around with his travel and demands his mate aka milky tits thought he too was special, lol. Dexter was ok, never much of talker with his fans though his ego is now a bit out there.

I think that Dexter is great champion , and he took time out to signed autographs, have photo with him and I had litte chat with him

That must have been in '06 on the gold coast cos he's never been to Melb. btw why milky tits? (bitch tits??)

Yeah, 06 Was the first pro show I seen

Here we go confirmation from Dexter.


Count me in bro and Happy New Year!!

Mr. Olympia
Dexter "The Blade" Jackson

Thats great news to hear that Dexter coming back to australia

As for getting Phil Heath here.....

I am trying everything to get him here. He has not said no and as long as there is hope I will continue to try and sign him. See his latest email below. Sounds good to me.

Hello,

Thank you for the invitation, I really appreciate it. I have just agreed on competing at the Arnold Classic and have yet to decide on this particular contest in Australia. I have wanted to participate in the past, however am still consulting with my sponsors in addition of my trainer to see what is best. I realize your sense of urgency, which I respect and appreciate so I hope to give you an answer soon.

Thank you again for your time and consideration for your 10th anniversary!

Sincerely with respect,

Phil Heath

I have also invited past winners Lee Priest and Ronny Rockel. Both are considering it. I would love to have Lee in the show, he is the best Aussie for a long time and I think he could be back in great shape if he has his motivation on. Ronny can be a big danger in any line up. You can expect more confirmations over the next weeks.

I have also invited Toney Freeman who is always a big hit here and Melvin Anthony is a big chance.

I hope to welcome Aussie Ivan Sadek back to Melbourne, just waiting for him to confirm.

300lb Quincy Taylor, and new pros Vinnie Galanti and Dan Hill are on their way

More to come.....

Sounds like Phil wants to come but needs the approval of trainer, sponsors etc...50/50

Tony, you are the man, getting Kai back for a second year is worth the admission price alone. Will be booking my flights an accom soon, don`t want to miss this one, it`s gonna be HUGE. Any chance we can get Troy Alves back, such a great guy with a fantastic physique. kepp up the great work, and fingers crossed for Phil.When will tickets go on sale?

Add Michael Kingsnorth from NZ, he is great performer. Rapt to have a representative from NZ. Take Vinnie Galanti off the list.
