TB: I hear Lou Ferrigno isn't so nice.
Gregg Valentino: There are plain-old leaping a-holes in bodybuilding and Lou is one of them. Lou Ferrigno is known to be a scumbag. Young kids can come up to him at a show - ten year olds - and when they ask him to sign a piece of paper he'll tell them, "Twenty dollars." If you see him at a show and ask him if you can take a picture with him, he'll demand twenty dollars. He's charged kids in the single-digit age, eight or nine, for a picture.
The way I look at it is this: okay, Lou Ferrigno, you have a right to make a living, but you're a millionaire. You're a millionaire. So when a kid asks you to sign a magazine or a pair of lifting straps and you're gonna try and hit 'em for twenty dollars, I'm sorry, but in my book, you're a piece of shit.
TB: Who are some of the other a-holes in the sport?
Gregg Valentino: Flex Wheeler is a cocksucker to people. We don't really talk to each other. I don't know if he would even talk to me.
