After Romano was fired by MD, he sent the following statement to PBW Radio about the situation. (John's statement was read by Dan & Bob on the show)
"After 18 years of dedicated service to Muscular Development Magazine, and more recently its website, the relationship that saw me rise from a mere contributor to Senior Editor has come to – as all things inevitably do - an end. However, the end was not unforeseen. My gradually eroding confidence in the manner in which business was being conducted, and the decisions that were being made, painted a very telling picture of things to come. Clearly, the direction the magazine and website are now headed counter my beliefs, not to mention those of my radio partner, and former Editor-in-Chief of the Muscular Development.com, Dave Palumbo. As you all probably know, Dave’s relationship with MD also ended today. The manner in which the end unfolded was rather unfortunate, but not unexpected. It evinced quite accurately the evolving attitude of Muscular Development.
I am very grateful to Steve Blechman for the opportunity he has afforded me over the years and I wish him and his future endeavors much success. To all my fans and loyal readers and listeners now decrying the gigantic whole I left in MD, rest assured - You ain’t seen nor heard the last of me….." - John Romano
-
Wow... very big news today
-
translation: "I started to talk back to the hand that feeds me, not realizing how easily I could be replaced. I got fired and now I am truly fucked"

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-
I wonder what Romano meant when he spoke about MD going in a direction that was counter to his beliefs and aims....
Maybe BillyGuns was speaking a bit of truth when he came on here blabbing for attention not to long ago? What do Palumbo and Romano do now? What is there next move?
Does Ron extend his hand in an attempt to help up his vanquished enemies?
-
who is going to protect blechman now he got rid of his bodyboyfriendguards

18 years and booted like a dog, nice job

My Fans? ::) Your #1 fan was fired with you.
About time Blechie grew a pair and dumped Padumbo and his side-kick.
-
You get Lee lil homo preist comming on here saying he was kicked , and now he is going to feature more in the magazine WTF??
When I used to buy the mag it was Johns "Last Word" on the back page I enjoyed most , now this is being taken over by the Lying Lil lee I bash women Preist..whats up with that? ???
-
It is very messed up how they just let them both go.
-
18 years and booted like a dog, nice job
I think Blechman finally realized he gave those convicts too much power and pull initially and couldn't undo it and bring them down a few levels, so he let them go.
In some circles it's reffered to as a glass ceiling.
-
Kicked to the curb like an unwanted stepchild!!!
-
240...remember the thread based on teh article
"how to be teh most disrespected underpaid sports professional in the world"...your creative genuis i believe
-
low blow by Blechman.
-

It is bussiness but to delete there colums off the forum is full of shit..There was a lot of info in DPs threads and they just wiped them..
-
low blow by Blechman.
Bitchman isnt an ex convict, dont forget that!

;D

LMAO!! Except Romano didn't even put his words together that eloquently. The dude's a delusional fuck wit.

I know that is fucked up in so many ways. It's like he is mad at them. There must be more to the story then we all no.

U heared that guy speak?
sounds like a timid Chipmunk.
Ridiculous.

What a happy family at the MD Christmas Party. Damn shame!

Who in the hell is Robbie Durand ??

Sounds like an early 80s rock star

Seriously when u hear him speak u will be on the floor laughing. Complete Joke.
Blechman has lost his mind.
-

I am not sure whether it's the "foreign" accent to me but his voice I do find to be unusual.

People still buy
supplement catalogs bodybuilding magazines?
-
"my fans" oh brother ::)
-

I don't expect details from him. He's dumb, but he ain't stupid. You don't trash-talk former employers and expect to get hired again. That much was as far as he really could go. At least he's smarter than Lee Priest!

He looks to be younger, so I assume he works cheaper?

hahah yeah its sad and insulting to anyone who knows teh truth about BBing and supplements
I feel bad for teh young teens who actually believe the supplement and magazine hype :-\
-

Oh, WE can speculate all we want. Perhaps someone in the know might even spill to Yaroni Avidan who might spill to some gimmick for post-age. But Romano is playing it smart. Be gracious to the pathetic 120-lb bottom-twink, and get hired by someone else.
-
I know that is fucked up in so many ways. It's like he is mad at them. There must be more to the story then we all no.
Agree..And you get retards like Silly Billy no Guns comming on here like he is in the know...There is alot behind the scenes that only a select few know whats really going on..
-
When you let the inmates run the asylum that's what happens. he had to let them go.
By the way. The direction is going more fitness and less PRO STEROIDS. That's why Palumbo is gone and so is Romano. Blechman got heat from the feds for promoting steroid use. FLEX and M&F was way ahead of the curve and stopped talking about steroids years ago. MD continued and now they are following the same path.
Night night f**kers
-
translation: "I started to talk back to the hand that feeds me, not realizing how easily I could be replaced. I got fired and now I am truly fucked"
maybe Romano wouldn't perform "under the table" hijinks with Blechman and he fired him for it.
-
maybe Romano and Palumbo wouldn't double team him "under the table" hijinks with Blechman and he fired them.
fixed
-
Dave and John will have a new show up and running in weeks.
240 . . . you should PM Dave and offer to do a site for the new radio show.
The Beef
-
and nobody said G4P ???
-
Does this have something to do with the thread about "Ketogenic Diets kills bla bla bla" in which Jumbo Dumbo embaressed/owned the shit out of the BleachHomo??
Just a theory..
-
"Whole" = Hole
+1
Romano is a dinosaur.
Although who knows what direction MD will take without him...Palumbo, who gives a fuck.
Maybe they'll team up with Peter McGough.
Or not.
Either way, I can't see MD doing yet ANOTHER switch and start another foray into some other side of bodybuilding...
...they've done naturals,
...they've done the chemical route,
...all that's left now is...
SHMOEISM ;D
-
Who in the hell is Robbie Durand ??
Nobody knows, nobody really cares.
-
Romano is a walking UG lab who weighs an earth shattering 160lbs.....
-
Both Palumbo and Romano were interesting radio hosts and knew their stuff. Years and years in the business, solid preparation and genuine enthusiasm for all aspects of BB gave the public two hours of great radio weekly for a couple of years. That is amazing.
The show was obviously being strangled by ownership as more and more subjects were "grey areas" that the guys had to avoid. "No Bull" could not coexist with censorship. I figure they knew the end was near and I hope they have concrete plans to keep a presence in the BB media.
I'll support them. Good luck guys. Thanks for all of your hard work. You made it look easy.

Rofl ;D
Still I did listen to the show on podcast while stuck in trafic on the way to work most weeks, so I'm a little sad to see them go. Tbh they are prob better off tho as MD is really a bunch of ass kissers ;).

Let's hear from Bleckman on this! Doesn't he post here?

I wonder who wrote this for him?
-
As big as the news is, PBW should have never aloud the statement to be read on their show...
When Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and to some degree Manny Ramiez are all being back balled by MLB(and who can all still play the game better then just about anyone)...
Pro Bodybuilding should leave these guys(palumbo,romano,sray,Lpriest) out to dry...fuck them...There needs to be some kind of dignity to this schmoe sport...
Let them all fend for themselves...Stop thinking they are worth a shit to bring aboard...
-
maybe Romano wouldn't perform "under the table" hijinks with Blechman and he fired him for it.
The problem is that is what he did for much to long...He could have told Blechman to go fuck himself along time ago and probably would have been picked up somewhere else...Romano was the voice for Blechman and loved every minute of it...I'm sure now that he's gone, he will sing a different tune for he knows he is worthless...
-
Wow, Romano and Palumbo are unemployed? Best news I've heard in a while. Good riddance.
-
Why can't we hear from Chick and Dan that John Romano or Palumbo will "i repeat" never work on anything related to Bodybuilding.com Ever!!!And they need to include Shawn Ray in that list along with Lee Priest...
-
Why don't you post a pic, "big" guy ? :D
Ask, and you will receive.
-
Interesting developments all the way around ;D
yeah, the sport has needed some drama... I always thought it'd be another Titus/King rivalry between the athletes... maybe something like the siolvio/moe thing we've been hearing about it. This kind of drama is way more interesting.
