What ever happened to this guy? He was at the top of his game in the WBF. Then he was supposed to come to the IFBB and take the Mr. Olympia.

Hurt his shoulder. Never made it back to top form I believe. He's a millionaire now though with his clothing line for bodybuilders I'm pretty sure. I don't think he's upset. hehehe

I think he did the NOC after his WBF days, came in huge but not shredded, didn't place well. He didn't compete after that. Great physic.....

It's interesting what money will do. Very few pro BBers will continue to compete at any kind of serious level once they have financial success. Especially if they have anythign to do with any of the companies providing that success.

Sure, they still work out and train hard, but they find out just how hard it can be to try and be in that office for whatever reason, even just to be the figurehead of a company that's really run by everyone beneath you. They find they're workouts put off, run short, different times, had to be in that ridiculous, pointless meeting, blah-blah.

I say congrats to anyone who can make it, however they do (legally, and not hurting others, I mean). Crazeewear's a success?? Great! It is a shame to lose an inspiration, but he can inspire a lot of others in a lot of other creative ways, too.
