Mr Olympia 2006, anyone ordering?

AYung · 09-17-2006, 03:12 AM

I'm trying to book the day off and order it live on PPV.

So is anyone else going to order the Olympia, or are there any luck ones who's going to see it in person?:indreams:

**Fitnfirm** · 09-17-2006, 09:57 PM

I will be there :p

Trick D · 09-18-2006, 03:55 AM

I thought I heard someone say it wasn't on PPV... I hope I am wrong though. I refuse to watch it online.

AYung · 09-18-2006, 05:00 AM

I'm hoping it's on PPV, it's the only PPV that I order each year.

Trick D · 09-18-2006, 04:39 PM

exactly. I know you can order it on a webcast, like a 2 hour slot is X amount of dollars, pretty stupid I think. I know Flex Wheeler's company is in charge of it this year.

AYung · 09-18-2006, 11:27 PM

I heard the same thing over at bb.com that it's going to be seen online. I booked the day off already so hopefully I can enjoy it!

A_N_91 · 09-19-2006, 12:53 AM

waiting for a torrent...

Trick D · 09-20-2006, 07:02 PM

I hear ya... I want to watch it on ppv, I won't watch it from my computer, it makes bodybuilding look like 2nd or 3rd rate being on the computer.

datruodb · 09-25-2006, 12:55 AM

WTF??? IS THIS NOT GOING TO BE ON PPV THIS YEAR???? I WILL BE SOOOO PISSED OFF!!!!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL???

Trick D · 09-25-2006, 01:57 AM

Hardbody entertainment thinks they can cut corners by posting an online feed for a small fee. I will just wait for a torrent now.

datruodb · 09-26-2006, 03:49 AM

so is it on ppv???

AYung · 09-26-2006, 04:07 AM

I still dont know for sure yet, hopefully saturday wont be a dissapointment...

Trick D · 09-26-2006, 07:25 PM

No... just on the web.

AYung · 09-28-2006, 11:15 PM

Yeah it's confirmed that it wont be on PPV now, what a total let down.

Now I am forced to anxiously wait on saturday night to see who wins the big one.

**Grunt76** · 09-29-2006, 03:15 PM

I've ordered the webcast.

Trick D · 09-29-2006, 05:06 PM

Keep up in touch and tell us teh results. Just post them in a "OLYMPIA SPOILER THREAD". Some may not awnt to know.

**Grunt76** · 09-29-2006, 06:06 PM

I guess I could do that.

Or maybe *YOU* could?

BTW: the "talent presentation" has begun. I state that the image quality is very crappy, especially for a 500kbps feed. It's probably completely uncompressed.

**Grunt76** · 09-29-2006, 06:21 PM

Well, I don't understand, it's the fitness prejudging already. Missed that I guess.

**Grunt76** · 09-29-2006, 08:43 PM

Allright, what I have to say so far, I've seen figure & Ms. bodybuilding judging rounds and the image isn't good enough to read the numbers they carry on their suits or to see the details in their physique.

If I have one comment to make about hardbodyentertainment is that they should have at least gotten a decent codec that can render the show with enough quality to actually follow it.

**Ikaika** · 09-29-2006, 11:28 PM

Isn't Hardbody Flex Wheeler's company?

Idiotic not to have it on PPV, imo. Webcasts are fine if you aren't real concerned with having a pretty picture, but come on...BODYBUILDING IS ALL ABOUT SEEING WHAT PEOPLE LOOK LIKE. I bet there are going to be some very upset people after this is all said and done.

**Grunt76** · 09-29-2006, 11:53 PM

I am one of them.

I mean, I'm trying my best to tell who has the best physique and really I cannot see well enough.

I'm betting he didn't want the picture to be good enough to replace the DVD so that people would buy it. It might work, but it might not be worth it.

I feel like I want my money back.

Tell them that and see what they say. I hope they let you get your money back...I mean, they can't honestly expect people to be ok with paying to see a bunch of blurry things move around to music.

AYung · 09-30-2006, 06:04 AM

From what I have seen in the pre-judging's it's going to be down to jay, ronnie, and victor. Dexter looks to be going to be 4th.

Yardicus · 10-31-2006, 08:12 PM

ugh...i heard it was as bad as last year

this is probably the absolute worst PPV of all time every year quality wise compared to price wise

a high school film class could do better...for real

ill NEVER pay for that crap again. ordered last year and that was it

shanetrain1973 · 10-31-2006, 09:20 PM

I heard this years was WAY better than last years. Is there a DVD of it out yet?

**Grunt76** · 10-31-2006, 10:06 PM

Yep it was WAY better than last year.

Didn't you guys get the torrents? I think they're on piratebay... ?

comfortable_pants · 10-31-2006, 10:42 PM

it was fun getting to see it in person. they definately don't look the same as they do in the pictures. shared an elevator ride with toney freeman right after the O; the dude is hyooooooge.

but yeh, as soon as jay stepped on stage it was obvious that he had it won; his waist was much slimmer than usual and his was thicker than usual.

AYung · 10-31-2006, 11:03 PM

I wouldn't miss the O if it was on PPV, but it wasn't this year.

Oh well, hopefully next year...

Frank_the_tank · 10-31-2006, 11:12 PM

Hopefully I can get to the Arnold this year.

Trick D · 11-01-2006, 12:13 AM

Definitely. WE need to plan a Ironmass package where maybe we can get a discount on hotel and shit and do some lifting, expoing and contest. I think that would be totally rad.
