Title: Why is EVERYONE Leaving MD??
Post by: TroubleReady39 on March 20, 2008, 08:47:50 PM
What the fuckk is going on at MD?  Almost all of their big name guys have gone to Weider.  Melvin, Dexter, Gustavo, Toney Freeman.  All are gone.  And they replaced them with 2 guys who had no where else to go. Did any one else want Shawn Rey or Lee Preist?  Is Steve Blechman running out of money?  Maybe they shouldn't have dumped all their money into a stupid website that makes them no money.  The only website in this biz that makes money is bodybuilding.com.  Can someone from MD please comment on why things have gotten so bad in such a short amount of time. An honest responce would be appreciated.  They worked so hard to sign all those guys and now they are all gone the second they became free from their contracts.  Should we start a collection to help save MD?

Priests column will be good if he maintains a shred of his controversial personality.

Even and Ben White's columns are good. Never thought I'd say it but Kai's column is good. Gustavo's column was awful, Melvin's was sub-par, I think only Dexter and Freeman will be missed.

I agree that Mel, Dex and Toney seem/are dense, but I think that kai green's *deep.* I think that he'd have more of an intellectual thought process thatn the other 3.

 Caprise Murry said on BIG NATION RADIO when asked point blank if he ever written a single word in his 'Q & A' and he said..."No. Never...they got other people to do that and stuff..."

 Which is true. Do any of you literally see a Dexter Jackson sitting down to answer questions sent in by...fans? Never.

 Ron Harris is probably busy as hell...you're rightm whoever said that.

hahahahhaa, Kai is the biggest bullshitter of them all, let's see, 800 pound squat and 500 pound bench as A NATURAL TEENAGER, 312 pounds offseason at 5'8", 8 pounds of fish a day, etc., hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa, oh brother. ::)

i used to love reading MD back in 05 when they had everyone, cormier, priest, dex, cappriese, vic.. now they got some amatures replacing them all.. evan should have never had a column when he was a amature no way in the world...
it'll be good when they get lee back his columns were always interesting and truthfull, he always had some funny things to say...
over the last couple of years they have gone down hill at an alarming rate 500 page mag with 450 pages of ads  ???

Blechman has turned this magazine around in the last five years.  The subscriptions have doubled in that time.

Blechman is a publishing genius and his magazine is a testament to cunning management and new thinking.

Blechman cannot do a thing wrong...just look at the signings over the last few years....brilliant stuff.
