The Pole Championship Series (PCS) is a compilation of the most recognized and respected pole competitions throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico. The pole competitions selected to be a part of the PCS are carefully chosen based on their presentation, experience in prior years, and overall success. Taking part in this annual competition is the highest honor for an elite level pole athlete in North America. The overall winner of The Female Professional Division of each Official Event listed in the Pole Championship Series is invited to compete in the annual PCS Championship. The PCS Championship occurs once a year and is comprised of pole champions from the prior year’s PCS events. Those who win titles in 2013 will subsequently compete in the 2014 championship.

You can bet if this event catches on, strippers will flock to the NPC.

[animal87]

Lmao .I was joking, I was confused, but this is going to be a real event in the show??

[ozzy69]

I wonder if they will make change for dollars at the expo now?

[basskiller]

seriously.. what's next.. The women have mad skills, but do they really need to be apart of the Arnold?
Is the sport dying that much that they need a boost from stripper poles?

[Darkness]

I don't mind...


Srsly though agree with bass. Wtf

I think the sport is dying for both men and women, precisely because the promoters, in an effort to save the sport, are creating so many new categories that they are killing it. Figure, fitness, bikini, women's bodybuilding, pole dancing, all with age categories, weight categories, and so forth. Same for the men. Bodybuilding, board shorts, novice, open, master's over 40, master's over 50, teenage, junior, and on and on.

The NPC competitions are mind numbingly boring events lasting all morning, all afternoon, all evening, and into the early morning hours of the next day because of the gazillion categories of competitors and the quaint tradition they have of not presenting the awards after the judging is completed, but rather making everyone come back that night to learn the results so they can charge the audience for a separate new admission ticket.

There are many ways I can think of to improve and revive the sport. But adding a pole dancing event is not one of them.

I think it's a slap in the face to female body builders. The perception that they all have 3" clits and faces like a horse with beards like, well.... like me has hurt the sport. That and wimpy men intimidated by a woman that coulds kick their skinny runt butts.
So let's stick some sweet poon tang on a pole and let them compete on who gets off the best!

That would be interesting to see. It sucks that I moved from Ohio and cant go to the arnolds.

[USNCTT]

Welp time to make a road trip back to ohio. Do you think they will mind if I start making it rain, or do you think thats frowned upon lol

[Darkness]

I'm sure they're all ok with it

[USNCTT]

I havent been to the AC in years and now that I have relocated to another state I will probably never get the chance to go again. It was a great time when I went though. I went to eddie georges restaurant and had a deep fried cheeseburger lol

^^^I agree with this, but the testosterone in my body is telling me that I may possibly enjoy watching LOL.

[jkits]

I agree with those whom think it's a bullshit way to draw in revenue. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing the pole dancing. I better wear some compression shorts if I watch.
