Many of you will already be familiar with the screen name and alias, Overlord. He originally began posting on various message boards, and was something of a leader at another message board (that I choose not to mention by name). After I started this column here at Rx, he soon began a “gossip column” of his own at this other board. In his column I was his early favorite target, but he quickly moved on from me to attack every other staff member at Rx Muscle. From there he moved on to many other players in the industry. Overlord is no longer with us though, and neither are his “gossip columns”.
I got a two for one gossip this week! I really got three, but I’m still researching the third story, plus I don’t want this thing to drag on. It’s funny, in the bodybuilding world, it seems like the gossip comes in waves. It’s feast or famine. The second half of the season has just really begun, and as the shows continue to roll in, I’m expecting more feast than famine… Let’s hope anyway!
Tim Gardner’s Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships in Tampa, Florida was like all past incarnations of this show: a tremendous success. And just like most shows I attend, interesting events occurred: rumors were created, people hooked up with other people, and the shit was stirred! In this column I’d like to tell you all, my dear readers, about one such episode. It all began when I ran into George Farah in the public restroom!
If you are a bodybuilding fan, you already know the name Ricky “Tricky” Jackson. He’s won nine national titles, making him the most successful amateur NPC bodybuilder. With the advent of the 202 division he found his home and has placed in the top 3 at eight separate 202 shows, winning two. All those accomplishments aside, when I think Tricky Jackson, I think entertainer. Tricky has won multiple best poser awards, and is in high demand to guest pose at contests around the country. There is no doubt, Ricky “Tricky” Jackson has talent. But does he have enough talent to win America’s Got Talent, the popular NBC TV show? That question is about to be answered.
