I could have half assed it a few more years, took second somewhere and been a pro.
I'm not sure how old you guys are but back then there were some awesome, big name bodybuilders who it took forever to finally get a pro card. Craig Titus was one, although being a murder kind of trumps that, Beau Matlock like I said Dexter. Won his class at USA but not the overall, no pro card. Then he went to nationals and somehow placed 7th.Even Ronnie Coleman, look how long it took him.
