Athleticon

Anyone else looking forward to The Rock's new competition this coming October? He and his ex wife Danny Garcia are putting it on. I'm pretty pumped to see what this brings to the bodybuilding and fitness world. It's supposed to be many different sports, but bodybuilding from what I keep reading and seeing will be a big part of it. There are so many rumors floating around about who may be competing also. I've heard Phil Heath could be making a comeback at this show. Many other big names that might be there as well. Gonna be interesting.

It will def be good to see the Line Up.
If most of the guys from the Olympia show up, Its going to be a real good show!!!

If the rock is doing it, I feel it will be quality. We shall see.

That chick is his ex-wife? Yuck!!

Seems like a cool event, if enough guys show up it could help expose the industry to more people. But i dont know if i believe that the Rock really cares about Bodybuilding or if this is an easy way to make $$$.

the prizes they are putting out are unreal for the bodybuilding side. going to draw a lot of top names

That's exactly what I was thinking. If this turns out to be huge and the prizes keep going up, it's going to be interesting to see how the Olympia competes with it.

Just heard the official name of the IFBB pro competition at Athleticon is going to be called the Icon World Classic and it's all going to be held in Atlanta. Phil Heath has been making comments on The Rock's IG page regarding Athleticon and the Icon World Classic. I'm thinking this might be where he makes his come back. If it draws a lot of big names and Heath decides to come back at this show as well, it's gonna be huge.
