Will CBum retire after the O?

[Bestia]

With Iain's retirement, his sister's previously, his wedding to his girlfriend, the health issues and injuries, and his other ventures, will he step aside after the O?

I think that's a hard "yes"

And then Ramon and Urs and possibly Terrence sort things out

[bigmikecox]

I can see that.

Do you think Classic will be as popular without thim?

When he does retire classic takes a nose dive.

Those kids go to see him!!! His line at the O was just insane!!! They have his haircut! Those are big shoes to fill

[Bestia]

Not a nosedive but it definitely takes a hit. Unless someone new doesn't come around with a similar appeal then the attention on classic gets split between MPD and Open

CBum is younger than Iain, he might take a couple more wins and leave a leave an even bigger legacy

When you think about it, wasn't he runner up to Breon twice? Dude has been elite for a long time

Melissa is the brains of the operation. I'm sure he probably will follow the lead if not this year then next.

Urs needs a bigger personality and Ramon is too ugly to have the fan following. I say personality for Urs although he has a great physique it's not CBum's so he needs to make up for it

He turned pro very quick, something like18 months or 2 years.

He has his kidney issue that he is watching.

He is absolutely taking in the money, might want to capitialse with some more wins.

Who knows what he'll do but the Pro League and his sponsors won't want him retiring

The guy is in the mega money league now

To me Chris is the only classic competitor who looks like he doesn´t need more weight on his frame to look complete/better. I think to get someone as complete as him again the weight limit will go up a bit more than it is today.

It doesn't seem to me that he is competing for money, even the prize money in the classic is small.

[bigmikecox]

He just put a new YouTube video out 4 hours ago and it already has 76K views. WTF

I think he potentially makes more when he is still competing but who knows

Lol

But Ramon has many many fans, many do bodybuilding because they see ugly guys with incredible physiques and that motivates them.

Whether Bumstead retires or not, nothing will change regarding the following of the classic, his followers dont follow the sport. A bit similar to when DLB retired.

In fact, interest in the division should increase because now there are 3 or 4 guys where no one is crushing everyone else.

That was my first thought when Iain made that video. CBum wins and retires .I mean circle around is closing . And guys are getting better and catching up on him pretty fast.If he wins and retires as undefeated then it would be nice storyline .However if he likes competing and doesn’t care if he gets beat by better guys than all power to him.
Money at this point is not a issue for him.He’ll be like Cutler ,retired and still pulling great numbers.
