So I think that Nick Walker understands how bodybuilding works and understands the value of marketing. I think having ambition is a great thing, especially when you’re trying to be the best at anything and in Walker’s case he wants to be the best bodybuilder on the planet. He needs to give snacks to his fan base from time to time. There’s no real harm in that.
Now I know that he would have loved to have been the first Pittsburgh Pro open bodybuilding champion, but that just was not the case. So what did he do? Well, instead of complaining or kicking up sand, he found the next best thing, the New York Pro. He went there and he won big. That’s really nothing to sneeze about because that makes him a 3x New York Pro champion. And in a world where marketing is so important, having a title like that three times is no small achievement. Plus the New York Pro is the third largest bodybuilding show in the world, followed only by the Olympia and Arnold Classic. Plus, New York has always been a focal point for the sport. In fact I would argue that the tri-state area is one of the most fertile areas for the sport in the world. Between New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, you have a lion’s share of the American bodybuilding fanbase all within close proximity. It only makes sense that Nick wanted to go there and want to cement his position as a top contender, but he’s not the #1 contender.
