      It's a blatant rip off of our Pros vs Bros. We did it first at The Cage, they copied it and claim that they were the originators of the idea without crediting us.The beauty of the internet is that everything is dated and in public view so they lied. Plus they have bastardized it, it's not supposed to be about money.

      Agree, we all knew The Cage was first. No matter, copies are never as good as the originals!

      True, but many companies have been "influenced" if you will by The CAGE, including many you'll see at the Arnold. The CAGE has really made its mark, not just on consumers, but other supplement companies and industry organizations.

      True however Rx took the same exact name and then went on their website and claimed that they originated the concept. That is a big difference than just copying the idea.

      We have all seen the "others" try to recreate (chuckles) something that has been forged by Universal/Animal... I don't think they understand the outreach that U/A has and the respect that is given to the name, or wait, should I say that they DO know the reputation that U/A has and are trying their damnedest to emulate.... and THAT, my brothers, will NEVER happen...

      What you say is fair, they say imitation is the biggest form of flattery, just proves you guys are doing things right.

      How is this for an idea based of of the most quoted line in the Godfather; "keep your friends close and your enemies closer", invite them to the cage for a lift off for charity. Let them do some of the leg work Publicizing the event. My reasoning, even further exposure via their videos and podcasts. You might even have their staff go against your staff......

      Just a thought.

      They don't exactly fit with Animal, they are into the whack pack and all that sensationalized stuff, not our style.

      I like your idea but would rather do it with someone like MD or Flex plus they have a far greater reach, Rx has a very small niche audience.

      Good point. If we bring outsiders in, they have to share our values and our thinking.

      I'm in the industry and I never go to their site, nor do I know anybody who does, so I can't really speak with any authority on the subject.

      For what it is worth, I hated how Palumbo and Romano acted on MD back in the day... Somewhere in between fugazi TV gangsters and TMZ. And that, at its essence, is the antithesis of Animal.
