Essa Obaid
Tony GilesEd and Betty Pariso's Europa Show in Dallas, Texas proved things are bigger in Texas! The expo floor looked like a Ft.Worth cattle auction, jammed pack! Me and Rodney didn't get much time to walk around the booths. Last year there seemed to be more companies represented, but there were still some major stars like Dorain Yates, Flex Wheeler, and Shawn Ray present. We spent most of our time watching the NPC and Pro Show. The NPC show was loaded with top notch competitors. Lorenzo Jones took the overall and the light heavyweight class. Lorenzo looked great, but to me the real standout was middle weight winner Tony Giles. Tony's conditioning was phenomenal, as well as leg development. This was by far the best NPC show I have seen far as the quality of the athletes. Next up was the IFBB pro show. Cedric McMillan was a favorite to take the number one spot, but unfortunatley things go according to plan. Arnold Amatuer winner Essa Obaid came out of literally nowhere and dominated the show with the same freaky muscularity and freaky conditioning Mr. Olympia bride Branch Warren brought at the 2009 "O". Essa is all the way from Duabi, another one of George Farah's clients. Me and Rodney both thought he was the winner hands down, but Mark Alvisi grabbing the 2nd spot was a gift. Everyone with us had Alvisi placing 4th or even 5th place! The show's favorite Cedric McMillan was given a shocking 4th place. Overall it was an awesome show, gives the fans excitement about the future athletes to come.
