It has come to my attention that there have been false accusations regarding denied press passes for the MD crew. The fact is, this was never an issue, and press passes were never denied.
Not only were they never denied, but they were even granted AFTER Steve Blechman (or any other rep from MD) failed to put the request in for them before the deadline...
The request for press passes came on Sept. 5th...21 days past the deadline.
Steve then requested (2) press passes.
Robin Chang even replied, asking if two was enough, or if he needed more...
If there is an apology to be made...it's from Steve Blechman, who should set the record straight with the facts.
BTW...this isn't a AMI thing, a Weider thing, or even a IFBB thing...it's a simple procedure and deadline thing from the promoter, which every other magazine, publisher, and photographer submitted on time....except MD.

You should have gone to TIME magazine with this one

sounds like typical Romano/Palumbo stirring the pot bullshit, they're such "mavericks and rebels" over at MD. ::)

Yeah...unfortunately...r ebels without a cause. Perhaps they should check with their boss before spouting off next time, making themselves look foolish is all that was accomplished when the error was on Blechmans side, not Robin's.
A retraction is in order...

So you're saying there's some dishonest people over there?

Blechman is a tool and his mag sucks

You mean people convicted of interstate wire fraud may not be the people you should take at face value?

Blechman is a tool and his mag sucks
i actually agree on this, that magazine has been going WAY downhill for years and gets worse every issue, re hashed training features, same old bullshit "pro columns" and 350 pages of ads. ::)

what gets more press pass requests---bodybuilding or south american rain forest table tennis regional qualifiers--I'm goin with the latter

Open letter to Bob Thick. Muscle Mag owners, editors and photographers should be sent press passes and complimentary tickets to the big shows. They shouldn't have deadlines or have to beg for passes.
Hope this helps.

Yes they should... or else it's anarchy... If filling out a couple of forms ON TIME is too much effort for the people in question, then maybe they need to figure out a better way to manage their time or perhaps just get out of the business.

You don't resolve issues like this by posting on a msg board... you battle it out on stage in a pose down.

Yeah man...chick set em straight willya
Im done with MD.Their absolute disregard for the peers within the industry is highly annoying
Romanos 1 argument when asked about the AMI vs Weider was ; "THEY STARTED IT , MAN".Ya , well john , youve thrown fuel to the fire every single month in and month out
I dont mind reading from the pros they have contracted.But it seems like THAT IS ALL that their magazine is based upon : 10 000 pros answring question in their `columns` 6 pages looong and some interviews piece with , you guessed it ...some pro and a head2head training session with two ....(take a wild guess)
MD`s whole competition with other mags ,lies in one strategy , ie .TALK SHIT ABOUT YOU OPPOSITION...thats it
They are a verry hard bunch to respect
Im a Wolf fan , and would like to see him as Mr O...guess why he wont be Mr O john ? Because you burn bridges wherever you go.Thats why you suggested dropping athletes magazine contracts didnt you , cos you knowww all the bullshit youve created is gonna cause athletes like Dennis their just due...
...deal with it romano , you FUCKBALL :o

A RETRACTION IS IN ORDER? WHAT ARE YOU GOD? STOP KISSING THE HIGHER UPS ASS. LET THEM HANDLE IT. I AM SURE ITS A BUNCH OF HORSE SHIT, AND THEY WERE NEVER INVITED. YOU AND EVERYONE KNOWS THERE IS A RIVALRY WITH FLEX , AND MD. AND THERE JUST STICKING IT TO THEM. WHO CARES THE FUCKING ARNOLD IS A TEN TIMES BETTER SHOW!! TAKE A POLL ON THAT. ITS JUDGED FAIR, AND THE EXPO IS TEN TIMES BETTER !
PEACE
ON A SIDE NOTE GOOD VIDEOS WITH THE TOP PROS YOUR DOING, BUT WHAT GIVES WITH THE MUSCLE TECH CRAP??? THATS SO CORNY HOW COME YOU DONT MENTION WHEN THEY INJECT THE STEROIDS,HGH,IGF, DIARETICS,INSULIN ????? OH YEAH I FORGOT ITS ALL MUSCLE TECH AS DEX WOULD QUOTE..... THATS WHY BODYBUILDING WILL NEVER BE MAIN STREAM NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF LIES !

PEACE
BODYBUILDING WILL NEVER BE MAIN STREAM BECAUSE OF HOMO'S LIKE ME WHO DO G4P AND PUMP SYNTHOL UP THEIR ASS AND ARMS.
BETTER FIX ;D

I dont get why theres this bad blood in the first place.
They ( AMI/Weider and MD ) think that this bodybuilding is bigger than it really is. What they need to do is get together and help each other out, because bb'ing as a whole is in the shitter. Its popularity is only in a select few groups, I mean the olympia which is the mecca of bb'ing competition can only get around 8,000 fans or so and its only once a year. Whereas the something like the WWE runs 280 shows a year and averages 8,000 fans per night. I know thats a bad example but its the only one I could think of at the moment.
So if you have the only two games in town fighting each other like two little bitch ass school girls, bodybuilding will never get further than what it is. Maybe if Blechman and AMI could work together, they could put there collective heads together and think of a way to make bodybuilding a more popular sport than just one that schmoes, pedo's, and your occasional alpha male enjoys.
Just me blabbing. ( oh brother :) )

Bob Thick has no shame whatever so he joins Goodrum in that department. Whatever Jim tells Bob to do is done. Gotta love the loyalty. Jobs for the boys.
If he keeps this up he will have no peer in the stooge department.

How is anyone from AMI, or Robin Chang "sticking it to them"?
MD failed to put in a request for press passes before the deadline...
Three weeks later, Blechman submitted a request for 2 passes...
Robin agreed, asked him if he needed more...
Next thing you know, the goofs are bad-mouthing Robin/ AMI/ Weider for no reason whatsoever...
Does that make any sense to you?

here you go bob a real response !
The bottom line is that for the last 3 years, ROMANO (the Senior Editor of the largest bbing magazine in the world) and ME (the editor in chief of Musculardevelopment.com-- the website with the most contest coverage on the web) were both not given press passes. We had to sit in VIP SEATS that were paid for by BOSS BLECHMAN. There's no denying that fact.
And as of this morning, MD was only being given 2 press passes (one for our photographer and 1 additional pass). That means that Per Bernal had a seat and Steve Blechman had a seat. Romano, Me, Flex Wheeler, Shawn Ray, and Elyse Blechman (Steve's wife) all had to pay $600+ for VIP TICKETS to cover the SUPERBOWL OF BODYBUILDING. What's wrong with that picture?
If anyone out there wants to believe BOB CICHERILLO and think, for a moment, that AMI/WEIDER had any intention of breaking with the tradition of providing anything other than the 2 press passes, you're crazy. Likewise, MD has been covering the MR OLYMPIA for the last 15 years that I know. When was the last time we didn't want press passes? Did AMI/WEIDER really think we weren't gonna need press passes when their DEADLINE for press pass requests passed? Obviously, we were never informed of when that deadline was. For all other shows, we submit press pass requests when we book flights and hotels.
The bottom line is that AMI/WEIDER obviously realized the folly they were creating with regard to this press pass issue and decided to step up to the plate and toss us "NO BULL" guys a few extra freebies. For that, I'm appreciative and I just hope this entire "he said. she said" will just go away. End of story.

So your bosses were lazy fucks and didn't take care of what they needed to and in typical convict fashion are blaming it on someone else?
BoofuckinHoo, lucky I'm not in charge or those polesmokers would be watching the Olympia from the street.

And here is a real answer...
All Steve requested was 2 press passes...TWO. Even after Robin emailed him back asking if he needed additional passes, it went un-answered. I have the email exchange which can be posted anytime, as well as the written request signed by Steve, asking for TWO passes.
To this date, NO ONE has purchased VIP tickets of the names mentioned.
Blechman can put whoever he wants on the press passes, if he chooses himself and Per Bernal...so be it, thats HIS choice...
If only TWO were alloted, why would Robin Chang email him back asking and offering MORE?
You can take the deadline issue out of the equation...it's basically irrelevant, even though th info has been put out there since MARCH, and somehow...everyone else seems to have gotten the memo, and their requests in on time...
There are 150 seats for press....TOTAL. Thats the reason for the deadline...so the major mags (yes, even MD) can be given choice seating placement...so yeah, I guess you can just ask for passes in the 11th hour...as long as you don't mind being in the back corner....then I guess you can bitch about how AMI is giving you the worst seats because of a rivarly.
Funny part is, Dave and John only get the info they get...from Steve, who choses to tell them what he wants...and of course...they buy it, hook, line and sinker...ultimately making them look like jackasses.
-
Perhaps this can shed some light to the facts....Robins email went unanswered.
See below. MD’s request came in on Sept. 5. I replied back the same day confirming his request and asked if two seats will be enough.

If anyone here actually believes that Derek Anthony wrote this , please read it again !When have you ever heard this chap use the word `FOLLY` before......its ROmano retaliating!
Derek after MD went OUT OF ITS WAY to ridicule David Pecker and repeatedly take shots at the weider mags , why in the blue hell will they say : "Heyyy guys , heres your 10billion press passes , we hope you enjoy the show! Yeah ! ;D "..Romano burns bridges all over the damn place
Whether he acts according to what Blechman orders him to do , i dunno.I mean look at the way Blechman handled the Lee Priest situation when they let him go 1st time around , they burned Lee , but when he become a hot commodity Blechman(MD) was back there with his arm around Lee and trying to get Leee to say nasty things about Bob Chick being the Athletes rep on Bullshit radio
wake up whoever it was who wrote that shit ! Yourll messed up big time , dont make it someone elses fault

Nevertheless , Palumbo , have yourll managed to try and secure ermm Tom Platz as the athletes rep yet? Yourll were trying hard for this , no ?
And anyone else notice how MD is always trying to position the Arnold Classic as THE show? ;D
And if MD doesnt get what it wants , ie its `roundtable of industry heads` - just so they can have some stroke / some say , well if they dont get that , i see many a day of romano bad mouthing weider

Open letter to Bob Thick. Muscle Mag owners, editors and photographers should be sent press passes and complimentary tickets to the big shows. They shouldn't have deadlines or have to beg for passes.
Hope this helps.
For the largest events, you're 100% wrong.
The demands for seating - including (what passes for) press seating - are greater and with a limited supply of space, the promoter needs to know well in advance what the space needs will be for his event's media.

posted at MD.com by John Romano:
Deadline for press passes? Chic is drinking too much Weider juice. As uninformed as usual, what the big lug doesn't know is that Steve was out of town on the "official press pass due date"
"Out of town"? Was he out of town the month BEFORE the date? Or how about the 3 weeks after the deadline? Aug. 15th is ONE day...
and had a conversation with Robin Chang anyway about it. What Steve asked for was "the same as last year" - Apparently, he didn't remember - or chose to forget the incredible hassle we had to go through last year to cover their show. Where has Robin been? He doesn't remember?
He remembers very well, he also emailed Steve back after receiving the faxed request, and asked if TWO were enough passes....sounds like a guy DENYING passes to me...! That email went unanswered. I can post the fax filled out by Steve if you wish, requesting TWO passes...let me know.
I'll refresh their memory: We got four press passes and we had to BUY SIX VIP tickets to accommodate the rest of our crew and that was only after Steve held hostage the release agreements for our athletes to shoot the Okabe video and the other video short Weider wanted to shoot for the show.
How many people you choose to send to cover the Olympia is YOUR choice. What "hassle" was that? Oh, thats right...forgot about that whole "having to write on a piece a paper and fax it over deadline thing.."
This is bullshit on a massive scale.
On that, we agree....claiming to have been DENIED press passes is about as bullshit as it gets. Still waiting for the whole "denied" part BTW
MD is the number one hardcore bodybuilding magazine in the world and this is the crap we have to go through in order to give superior coverage and promotion to Weider's show.
Yep....superior coverage indeed...especially the way you bash the production, the show, everyone at Weider (especially Peter McGough) the results, the Venue, continuously making comparison to the ASC, and how THAT'S the number one show in the world...not the OLympia, etc, etc....it's a wonder they let you anywhere near the building
Deadline my ass. Chang should have called Steve and said: "thank you for doing such a great job last year covering our show, how can I help you this year? What do you need?" Just like Jim Lorimer does and the other 99 promoters of the shows MD covers.
Funny you should mention a number...150 seats in the pit...149 people had no problem and submitted their requests ON TIME. See above for how "thankful" Robin Chang should be....
The coverage is for YOUR magazine lets not forget...for YOUR sales, for YOUR content, we have our own magazine and coverage...so spare us all how "thankful" we should be to MD...
Press pass issuance to our crew is one thing. It's a whole other thing to not offer a press pass to the Senior Editor of the number one hardcore bodybuilding magazine in the world, the Editor-in-Chief of its website, the boss of all bosses,
All those people HAVE press passes...Peter McGough, Alan Donnally, Joe and Ben Weider, David Pecker, etc....ALL have them.
and not to mention Flex Wheeler and Shawn Ray who, while working for MD, also represent two uncrowned olympia kings with perhaps the greatest combined record in the history of the sport.
Both of which are a phone call away from having seats up fron at ANY pro show, or NPC show for that matter, as is not only their right as a IFBB pro, but as the legends they are.
Right or wrong, that's my opinion and that's what I said on NBR. It's also the truth and in typical Weider fashion someone over there has a problem with the truth
No, we have a problem with distorted facts. I'm sure Steve B was totally upfront and truthful with you (as usual)...after all...he's the one keeping food on your table, he HAS to be right.

Deadline for press passes? Chic is drinking too much Weider juice. As uninformed as usual, what the big lug doesn't know is that Steve was out of town on the "official press pass due date"
"Out of town"? Was he out of town the month BEFORE the date? Or how about the 3 weeks after the deadline? Aug. 15th is ONE day...

Open letter to Bob Thick. Muscle Mag owners, editors and photographers should be sent press passes and complimentary tickets to the big shows. They shouldn't have deadlines or have to beg for passes.
Almost every type of event has a deadline or you need a request to get a press pass. Get real. I recently needs to cover a rock band --> You had to apply for a press pass, and just for the particular band you want to cover, and once you got it, you needed to get approval to get in with the camera, and then you can only shoot pictures, without flash, for the first three songs only. And only on that band. It is much stricter that you guys think.
For a political event, to get backstage, you need to get approved, and you can only shoot at various times, in various places.
And for the bigger events, like the Olympia and the Arnold, which have limited space for photographers, you must apply early. Simple as that.
If you put Blechman and Robin Chang together I doubt they'd have more than 100 combined IQ points between them.
You dont know either one of them. Both are pretty smart individuals, who know how to run things. As for Robin Chang, the man has a ton of patience and handles the stress of putting up a major show quite well. Many times, he is at his office until way past 8pm at night. There are so many details to go over at this type of show, including expo, insurance, hotel, flights are 150 competitors, judges, rooms, buses and so much more.
As for Romano
Romano likes to stir up shit. Piss people off. End of story.

The latest from MD.com
I would just like to take a moment to clarify my communication with Robin Chang and the Olympia.
I first contacted Robin Chang (via telephone) at the end of August as I was never notified about the status of our press passes for the Olympia or a deadline.
When I called Robin I asked him specifically how many press passes MD was entitled to. His response was “whatever you received last year”. To my knowledge I received two press passes last year. I asked Robin to check to see how many I had received and also if I was entitled to receive more. Robin responded that I am only entitled to the amount I received last year.
Robin sent me the press pass application on 9/3. I filled this out and emailed it back to him. I never received an email asking me if I needed more.
I then spoke to Robin yesterday 9/10 where for the first time I was asked if I wanted more than two. I asked for Robin how many more can he provide us with. He said a total of four and he told me he will check to see if this is ok. I have not yet been given a final answer.
Robin is a sincere guy who works hard to put the Olympia together. He always goes out of his way to help me and I believe in this instance his efforts are the same.
The reality is that of course I would like more press passes. If this is the best he can do then I am fine with that. I am currently awaiting on the approval of these four press passes.

You know what, let Weider keep their precious press passes, they will all be on the unemployment line next year anyway and this will be a moot point.
Jeez. Chic is getting his info 3rd hand. He doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. He's just acting like the good old company boy he is trying to make his keepers look good.
Since when is anybody above criticism? The venue does suck. As usual the Weider boys have a problem with the truth. Overall though, we gave their show better coverage before, during and after than they did. That's a fact. I've also done nothing but praise Robin Chang for the job he does.
The bottom line is, apart from the production personnel we need to cover their show, passes of some kind should also be given to our contemporaries of Peter McGough, Alan Donnally, Joe and Ben Weider, David Pecker, etc. Oh, wait, that's right, they are not our contemporaries, our parent company isn't filing bankruptcy. Silly me.

can someone clue me in on what the heck this is about? I'm kinda interested in the subject of press passes, but is there a non-rambling version of this topic?
thanks in advance..

Has anybody ever noticed , but Steve Blechman (The boss of all bossess ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ! hahaha!)
never speaks ??
and whenever he does , its always through a robotic press statment , that has little bit less than fuckall emotion.
He always has his bitchlette Romano fighting for him, while he remains unscathed
Insider x says weider can keep their press passes , well ill guarenfuckingtee you that MD will stillll try to cover the Mr Olympia.Screw that MD , if you had any balls DONT COVER THE MR O AT ALL! Dont come with childish bitchass threats - do the right thing for yaself , dont cover it
But you wont do that would you? Because thats the annual kingpin off all your issues is the Mr O report isnt it? This is basic economics
best part is im no insider whatsoever , even *I* can see through MD`s bullshit , thats how UNPROFFESSIONAL they are

I find this latest post from Romano as amusing as his first....3rd hand info? I beleive getting it from Robin himself, and having the emails and faxed request more than constitutes first hand...
All the rest is nothing but the proverbial red herring thrown out by Romano, and his obsession/ hatred of Weider/ AMI....nothing to do with wether press passes were denied as they claimed.....even Blechmans account of what transpired (although skewed in his own right), answers the question at large, which was THERE WAS NEVER ANY DENIAL OF PRESS PASSES.
BTW, John...no one gives a shit if you're ale to cover the contest the way YOU think it should be covered, for that matter, you've made it abundantly clear that you have better things to do, that you already know the results, and you don't want to go....thats fine as well.
If you're speaking in a official capacity, and wish to not have the 2 press passes as you've indicated numerous times now...just say the word my friend and POOF....they're gone.
As for the rest of your "debate" on the AMI front...you still don't get it....for 5 years now, you've been painting the bankrupcy picture, and how Flex mag will be gone....five years later...you're STILL talking the same shit...and were still here. You're obviuosly not smart enough to see that despite what the parent company is doing (AMI)...it has no berring on what Flex/ MF is doing....the division that stands on it's own , and turns a profit. If AMI went bankrupt tomorrow....the magazines would still be doing business as usual, as they're not relient on AMI for anything.
Also, being that you're so sure AMI is going to the shitter in the next few moments...I'll be happy to post the latest financial report, which states that David Pecker has secured the finances needed to carry on....
Let me know on that press pass thing as soon as you can, so they can be given to someone who wants to be there...

Here you go Romano...wrong as usual.
Subject: WSJ: American Media May Receive Lifeline
American Media May Receive Lifeline
Tabloid Publisher Gets Backing of Creditors For New Bond Offering By RUSSELL ADAMS August 28, 2008; Page B4
Struggling tabloid publisher American Media Inc. may have found a lifeline.
In a deal that likely saves the company from having to seek bankruptcy protection, the Boca Raton, Fla., publisher of the National Enquirer and Star magazine has secured the backing of many of its creditors for a new bond offering to refinance $570 million in existing debt.
That's welcome news for a company struggling through a declining advertising market and burdened by more than $1 billion in debt. AMI previously had said that if it couldn't refinance at least $389.5 million in debt by Feb. 1, 2009, it would have to liquidate assets or seek protection from creditors.
"This transaction, if it's successful, will take the pressure off them,"
said John Page, a senior analyst at Moody's Investors Service. AMI's corporate family rating of Caa2, Moody's fourth-lowest rating, is currently under review for possible further downgrade. David Pecker, chairman and chief executive of AMI, said the bond offering "is the first step in revitalizing the capital structure of American Media."
Under the terms of the bond offering, holders will be able to exchange existing debt for discounted notes that pay higher interest and warrants for up to a 20% stake in the company.
AMI set a Sept. 25 deadline for the offer, but already has agreements from 33% of holders of notes due in 2009 and the requisite 51% of holders of notes due in 2011. The new notes extend the due date to 2013.
The agreement caps a productive summer for AMI, which also publishes several health and fitness titles including Shape. Earlier this month the maligned Enquirer was validated when former senator and presidential candidate John Edwards admitted on national television to having an extramarital affair. The Enquirer had begun reporting the story nearly a year earlier but its scoop was largely dismissed by the mainstream media until Mr. Edwards's admission.
The Aug. 11 issue, which reported new allegations about Mr. Edwards's affair, sold 738,000 single copies, 11% above its weekly average of 667,000 copies for the first six months of the year, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
Mr. Pecker said ad sales for the first half of 2008 -- which showed a decline in ad pages in the low single digits compared with a 7.4% decline industry wide, according to the Publishers Information Bureau -- show AMI is "pretty much holding our own in a challenging environment."
However, there were signs of difficulty in the second quarter. Ad pages at the National Enquirer declined 14% in the quarter, while ad pages at Star were down 10%, according to the PIB.
In recent quarters AMI has been able to largely offset revenue declines by cutting administrative staff and production costs. AMI posted revenue of $119 million for the quarter ended June 30, a 2% decline from the year-earlier period.
AMI has two private-equity owners, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Evercore Partners. A source familiar with THL's thinking said the company believes the exchange offer gives AMI enough running room to continue improving its profitability.

Romano can talk all the shit he wants about Flex but it's consistently the best magazine on the market right now as opposed to MD which runs the same bullshit every damn month, a 10 page Valentino "spread", with the exception of Victor Martinez a bunch of third tier pro training articles and columns, Evan Centopani, Ben White, Trey Brewer in every single issue and 350 pages of ads.
-
although it may seem just like paper work, requiring a written request and a deadline for a press pass actually makes sense from a legal and security standpoint...IF your allowing someone onto your property next to your athletes you a liable, and you need to know who is getting that access and there has to be some approval even a limited background check if needed...there are a lot of nut bags out there and who knows what they would do getting so close to the athletes....remember Nancy Kerrigan and the ol' pipe to the knee
people cant just expect they can show up the day of the event say hey i need a press pass.
-
The latest from MD.com
This is great...Steve has no clue as to how many passes they had last year?
Oddly, he doesn't seem to recall there being a deadline this year, nor did he meet it last year, or the year before that....same old same old...
As pointed out earlier...150 press passes...149 people managed to get their credentials in on time.
What gets me the most....is that this "miscommunication" was a direct result of Steve Blechman running his mouth to Romano, who in turn, decided to go whine about it on their radio show....when asked about this from Robin directly...Steve claimed to not know anything about it, or what was on the radio or on the website.....thats strange....Robin only taked to ONE person about the passes between the 5th and the 8th....Steve Blechman.

people cant just expect they can show up the day of the event say hey i need a press pass.
The reasoning for a deadline is simple....there are only so many seats in the pit, and generaly speaking, the major mags get the best placements for taking pics...the idea that Robin Chang should call over 100 people to ak them what they want is ludicrious at best...especially when it's for THEIR magazines, or web site, etc....this sense of entitlement from MD is laughable....appararentl y, they've forgetten that we have our own magazine...and could care less if they cover it...that's for their content. If you're in the business of covering boybuilding, i would think covering the biggest show of the year might be of interest to have in your magazine....

Everyone should call and impersonate a melting down Derek Anthony... Blechman would probably giggle like a little bitch at that shit

What's Romano's problem anyway? Is he jealous of Chick? He's probably used more drugs thank Chick and probably for the same length of time lol... Romano's been using since the 80's and gets lost in an XL tshirt. On "NO BULL RADIO" he's always uninformed, and gets corrected by Dave Palumbo atleast 5 times in the first half hour... it's pathetic... he's like Palumbo's annoying little brother that picked up the phone and figured he'd join in on the conversation.
As long as Romano keeps posting about it, Bob's gonna keep throwing down the ownings... :)

In the good old days we had York vs the Weiders and the Weiders were the bad guys. Nothing much has changed except the names of those involved. Weiders have always been thrifty with gifts, prizes, etc. The first Mr Olympia, Larry Scott, got a tray and $1,000! Joe and Ben hit the jackpot when the charged big money to stage professional contests and the promoters had to award all the prizes and look after the judges, etc. The Weiders sold their magazine empire for a reported $350,000,000 while Dave Draper, Robby Robinson and many others got peanuts for endorsements, etc. The same thrift is seen in this thread. They hand out very little and even don't pay for their stooge/mouthpiece to speak on their behalf.

I haven't followed this thread since page 1, but I did catch the fact there were 150 press passes to be split up? And MD can get two to four of them?
Methinks if you gave them TEN passes, they'd take a lot more pics and have a lot more coverage of the event. I always find their ASC coverage to dwarf the pics and content they get from the O, the crown show of the season.
IMO, even if you don't like them, you would still let them cover your event and put pics/interviews from your event... to their millions of readers. The better the show looks in the mag, the more people who will want to attend it next year. I thought MD's coverage and pics were very limited last year, and if they only had 4 guys on the whole show, I see why.
Anyway, I'm just talking out of my ass. I have no dog in this race and see it as silliness.

There are 150 seats...obviuosly, there are a certain number alloted for the various mags, pubs, internet, writers, etc....
I used the number 149 out of 150 to illustrate the point that MD was the ONLY ones to have any issue (again) as they failed to meet the deadline (again) like last year, and the year before that.....
We don't really care what coverage they decide to put out...it's for THEM, and their magazine. We have our own to cover the Olympia, etc....the fact that Romano thinks he's doing US a favor is a joke, especially given the fact he badmouths the event the other 11 months of the year.

We don't really care what coverage they decide to put out...it's for THEM, and their magazine. We have our own to cover the Olympia, etc....the fact that Romano thinks he's doing US a favor is a joke, especially given the fact he badmouths the event the other 11 months of the year.
There is no doubt of this
The money goes into MD`s pockets when they sell Mr Olympia magz.People visit THEIR website for ongoing coverage ...whose benefitting ? MD.
Of course MD wants to make the Arnold look better , they hold a grudge against the Joe Weiders MR O.Has an MD athlete ever won it ?
But the man whose name is plastered over the contest they prefer , ARNOLD was an AMI/WEIDER/MUSCLE&FITNESS employee correct? So the Best will only work for the BEST , thats why Arnold was with *WEIDER* ::)

Not only that, but they pay 50K to cover the ASC....they contribute ZERO to the Olympia.
Kinda explains why they get the "phone call" from Lorimer every year....I'm sure Robin would be more than happy to have an engraved invitation sent for their press passes for the same $$$$
-
What's this "we" and "us" stuff? I thought you were an employee of Bodybuilding.com, not Weider Publications?
I've had a contract with Weider for 3 years now, in addition to being on the OLympia comittee and working with Robin Chang all year on the OLympia as well as other projects.
-
So if the Olympia sucks this year, it's your fault?
Isn't everything?

Bob can fool most of the simpletons on Getbig. Some he can dupe permanently. However, he is an insider in the Weider camp and hardly the pro athletes rep. What a confederate and stooge.

Sure he is a member of Weider... Do you think we don't know this Vince?
Do you think you're the only one who's magically figured out the conspiracy?
Christ... You're as bad as anyone else because you think you're so special... You're not Vince... You're not any smarter than anyone else around here.
We get that Chick is employed by Weider, but that doesn't mean that in this instance he's incorrect.
THIS TIME... He is right... Like it or not.
You know Vince, there was a boss I had and whenever someone complained chronically, he said a simple phrase.
"Shut up or quit."
Why don't you try that once in awhile.
-

Well since you're IFBB Mr.Canada, why don't you consider becoming an athletes rep and show Chick how it's done?

The first thing I would do is clean up the sport. Fair dinkum drug tests and out of comp testing and banned for life for cheaters. Enough is enough. No way I am kissing anyone's butt just to get that patsy position. I thought the athletes should elect a rep? Better still, why do they even need a rep if things are run properly? Bodybuilding is so corrupt that nobody can do anything about it. We need a completely fresh start to get out of the quagmire.
Bob does the best he can with his limited resources. However, that still is far short of the mark. The guy has no shame and comes on here pontificating and putting crap on anyone who disagrees with him. The guy is a bona fide dork. No question about that.

What contribution do you make to bodybuilding in Australia?
You are always complaining about the business, and offering your view on how it all should be done, so why not step up to the plate and do something positive for a change?
And before you hide behind the old "it's corrupt and a closed shop" story, why not start your own federation?
Your claim "The first thing I would do is " worthless because you don't actually do anything but complain.

Jesus Vince do you have any idea how delusional you sound...Your calling Bob, a guy who has banged probably over 500 fitness sluts and wined in and dined with the elites of the world a dork? Bro no offense but you are the fucking definition of dork...Seriously bro, you bang 500 pound fat chicks and think that everyone is missing something...You take photos of little kids playgrounds(holy fucking creepy) and pose in the most ridiculous poses that only a muscle bear would think is cool...And lets not forget that you are on a mission to make a better wheel that always brings you back to square one but only more bitter...Dude you are absolutely losing it...Why don't you check yourself into the nearest hospital and get some decent help...Maybe that will give you some inspiration to make a new hospital bed or something :-\

Vince contributes nothing but alot of bullshit. Complains about everything with his senile ramblings and contributes nothing.
Vince I work with a guy that remonds me of you. Not born in Australia but apperently is more Australian than any other. Bores people shitless with improper assumptions about our country, and just an overall pain in the ass.
Truly how fucked up are you. Most normal people don't go on with the shit you do, let alone drive 2 hours to attend the funeral of a man you never even met.
-
Romano is just a bitter little punk that can't the fact that despite all the roids he has done in the past he doesn't look bigger than a 14 year old girl scout. The only thing roids gave him was gyno, which WAS bigger than a 14 year old girl scout.
He isn't a has-been. he is a never-was.
And can someone PLEASE tell me WTF is going on with that neck and face of Bleachedman? They are two different colors. ALL THE TIME. Does all male MD employees wear makeup? We know Dave does.

You should see the pics of his ex-wife, seriously the ugliest whore I have ever seen. Maybe I will start a thread with her pics later, should be good for a laugh. His son is a fkn dork too, looks like half a retard.

I want to let you know that I had requested a press pass for myself for the Olympia and that if you wanted it then let me know and I'll mail them to you since I won't be attending this year due to mitigating issue. Of course since I'm not a big name or anything, they seating arrangement is at the nosebleed right section but its better than nothing.
I would contact you directly but your asshole mods banned me for racism although I can't figure how they can accuse me of that since the comment in question I made was to another black man. In any event, contact me via email or my company number
-
Put it on Ebay, vince. Who knows, it might make a tidy profit.
-
Vince, how's the contest prep going?
Isn't your show coming up soon?
-
We'd like to know what the mitigating issue is
-
Vince trying to suck cock to get back onto the md forum.

We'd like to know what the mitigating issue is
when something is stuck up his butt, it's mitigating

Didn't you hear? Romano has better things to do than go there. Even though missing it would completely kill him.

you are embarassing
-
when something is stuck up his butt, it's mitigating
hhahaha ;D

migration issue?

Yeah, Rusty Jeffers was robbed in the Masters.
No he was robbed of his dignity in the movie "Bear in the Woods"

I'm doing 3 bodybuilding shows this year, 2 NPC and one INBF event. I don't have the time.
So Keith, are you coming to Las Vegas by cargo ship or are you going to reinact the main scene from "Operation Dumbo Drop"????

THATS SO CORNY HOW COME YOU DONT MENTION WHEN THEY INJECT THE STEROIDS,HGH,IGF, DIARETICS,INSULIN ????? OH YEAH I FORGOT ITS ALL MUSCLE TECH AS DEX WOULD QUOTE..... THATS WHY BODYBUILDING WILL NEVER BE MAIN STREAM NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF LIES !

Lazy mother fuckers expect special treatment... We fucked up but it's all AMI's fault.
Fuck that.
And now watch you crawl over to MD and tung there assholes..fat lil 2 faced half breed ::)
-
Yeah...unfortunately...rebels without a cause. Perhaps they should check with their boss before spouting off next time, making themselves look foolish is all that was accomplished when the error was on Blechmans side, not Robin's.
A retraction is in order...
Hmmm, interesting. I didn't know about this.
Fact is, while I like to learn about the in-fighting of the BB media, I am just a fan.
I subscribe to BOTH Muscular Dev and FLEX.

Actually...it was quite the underwhelming story. It was only made interesting by Romano and Palumbos commentary on the matter, when they didn't have the facts to warrent a comment, or opinion.

Chic, what is the format/schedule for the Olympia web cast on BB.com?
I just went to the site for the Olympia series interviews and can't see the info for the Olympia day?

Maybe you should have read the thread where I slammed Romano about it. Oh wait... you can't... They deleted it.

After all our years in hardcore BB, you think it best to advise a fan of the sport to go and READ something?
Geeeeshhhh, and I thought you knew the sport and the fans.
Hey how goes married life?

It has come to my attention that there have been false accusations regarding denied press passes for the MD crew. The fact is, this was never an issue, and press passes were never denied.
Not only were they never denied, but they were even granted AFTER Steve Blechman (or any other rep from MD) failed to put the request in for them before the deadline...
The request for press passes came on Sept. 5th...21 days past the deadline.
Steve then requested (2) press passes.
Robin Chang even replied, asking if two was enough, or if he needed more...
If there is an apology to be made...it's from Steve Blechman, who should set the record straight with the facts.
BTW...this isn't a AMI thing, a Weider thing, or even a IFBB thing...it's a simple procedure and deadline thing from the promoter, which every other magazine, publisher, and photographer submitted on time....except MD.
may i ask why you are posting this here and not over at MD?
Oveall getbiggers couldn't give a shit about MD.

That's exactly what's wrong with the supplement industry right now....Motherfuckers like you are showing off their products in labratory coats and radiation suits as though using it will make your eyes glow yellow and throw cars and shit.
This type of bullshit has got to end because its folks like you that are killing the industry. You don't see respectable companies like Beverly or ALRI coming out with shit like that.
And as far as those press passes go, no-one from MD had contacted me about them so I'm returning mine to Robin for someone else to use but they shouldn't be crying over them when they are freely available to major companies and get the best seating compared to my far right seating arrangement.
-

Ever heard about cleanroom clothes? ::) And as far as ALRI is concerned, they are about as far from the "respected company" as it gets. And they are a marketing firm (not a manufacturer), so they dont need to wear clean room clothes at all.

What do you mean by that crack that ALRI is far from being a respected company.
As far as cleanroom clothes are concerned...I'm aware that you have to use them along with lab coats but it should never be part of a marketing strategy. It makes it look like you're selling steroids or something and that's why the government is always on our asses.

Vince please SHUT THE FUCK UP! You should not even be here in the first place discussing bodybuilding. There are kids on the local basketball team with a better physique than you that have never even touched a weight! God, you are pathetic. I wont go into who is reputable and who ist, il just say you are a moron. Go the fck away already....god

LOL. Look whos talking :) Last time I checked it was ALRI who included a compound easily classfied as a anabolic/androgenic steroid in their "dietary supplement". ::) How "respected" is that? :-X
PS. Punk, what are those goofy "credentials" you list after your name?
-

It was classified but not illegal. In any event, forget about them what about Beverly. They have been around for over 40 years and have never advertised in lab coats and stuff.
-

that dickhead from ALRI spits on the floor while in the gym.
he's total unhygenic crap.
i'd never buy his products

I am not very familiar with them but I would assume Beverly is a decent company.
-
It was classified but not illegal.
They put steroids in their product but didn't list them. That's highly unethical.

ALRi is crap. I wouldn't take their stuff for free.
