Again, legacy is very important. I often talk about it in my articles for Iron Magazine and it’s because it matters. Historically, legacy can make or break a champion. Even though Chris has won several Olympia titles that does not mean that if all of a sudden he starts competing in the open division and does not do well, that he is going to still have that larger than life status from classic physique. The more times that he loses or places out of the money, the more it’s going to take its toll on that very, very impressive legacy from the classic division. Now if he does one or two contests and he places respectively that’s fine. At the end of the day it’s just to get it out of his system. And I can totally understand that. But to play devil’s advocate, if this is a new page in a new career, things may not go as well as planned. Again it all depends how long he plans to compete. As I’ve stated if he does Prague which is a relatively small show he should be okay, but if he starts getting a little bit carried away and we see him next year at the New York Pro or the Arnold Classic in open, I suspect that at that point he may in fact embarrass himself before realizing that this is not going to be as easy as maybe he had thought.
