      Yep, especially with the physiques now. Patrick made a good point about how if the Rock owned it, there could be a bridge into movies so that there is more mainstream recognition (it goes both ways), but it wouldn't have the mainstream effect that bodybuilding had back in the day because of all the insulin and growth hormone causing the monsterous size and shape. Pumping Iron, Stallone Movies, Jean Claude Van Damme, Arnold Movies, Hercules, the magazines, etc... were inspiring to those generations because it was attainable and aesthetically pleasing.

      Until they clean up the ubiquitous rampant drug abuse it simply cannot go mainstream. At least in other professional sports the drugs are masked under clothes, uniforms and equipment, but bodybuilding is in your face and theres no denying it. And the Rock knows this. He was wise to pass on it, especially if he still plans on running for President. Druggy promoting President ain't a good look.

      1. He doesn't carry the same energy as other host/interviewers, 2. Valuetainment or PBD podcast doesn't have the same market viewership as podcasts that people in any political belief would tune into
      3. It's obvious PBD is a sellout. He goes from asking Rock didn't buy Olympia, to immediately trashing Olympia when Rock said he has no interest in buying it anymore.
      PBD's ultimate goes is to get the big interviews with big names and hopefully what he sells to his audience will get him in the elite circles.

    I used to be a huge fan of BB. Now I’m older and wiser. Bodybuilding will change COMPLETELY in the next 5-10 years. It may not even be the same sport we know now. To encourage people to f up their bodies with tons of steroids (we’re not talking about only testosterone), stress, food, synthetic oil (look at Hadi!)… athletes look like a fridge nowadays.
    It will change.
