Palumbo worked side by side with Romano for many years at MD prior to hiring him at RX Muscle.  If what you say is true, with Palumbo knowing this, why did he still hire him? 


If you focused more of your time on being a businessman instead of a gossipy bitch, you would come off as more professional.

Much in the way, had you focused on being a better bodybuilder in the past instead of doing faggoty gay4pay you may have done somewhat better.

Total obliteration of peace.

Whatever "PJ" and the tall Jew produce commercially, I make sure I alert everyone I know not buy their shitty products.

Palumbo hired Romano because they were best friends....still are for the most part.  You can have many businesses but very few friends in the industry.

You're right. Palumbo is well known for his business sense and his acute ability to surround himself with the absolute best people.

I actually was referring to what Palumbo said about John after their time together at Rx. I don't know what Dave thought of john's work ethic when they were at MD.

Oh RobGun1, if one day I could be as successful as you, maybe then I could truly feel accomplished. Lol.

They're still friends? I thought they fell out?

I am more accomplished unless you are speaking of walking around in a home depot in white hot pants.  If that is the case then by all means, you win stud.

Such integrity.     ::)

The Romano fall from grace was an interesting to watch. At first he was like some rogue in the industry who was open to talking about gear in MD and seemed to have heaps of fans. Then he started digging and the Weiders and Flex staff and starting spot fires all the time. Got booted from MD, went to RX and started acting like some bitter butt hurt dooche, got the sack from there, went to VPX and started up that shitty board and did a few radio shows and then left to obscurity in mexico. The bloke was worshipped on MD for yrs (by Sean, Flex and even Ron Harris - and not to mention every member who used to kiss his ass) and for a while on RX and is now an absolute nobody. Seems no one was to blame for that but himself..

Ron Kramer's attorneys have sued and/or threatened everyone including myself.....something that will fall to Ron's detriment eventually.

As far as the lawsuit is concerned.  Romano resides in Mexico so even if Kramer wins a judgement against him, its pretty much a waste of time and money as he'll never see a dime

It's hard to argue that MD has changed for the worse since the John and Dave days. Robbie Durand did a great job after that and kept the edgy stuff going. But it's been a total pail of shit since Robbie left for FLEX.

Palumbo said on his radio before that Romano's father was a doctor who died and left him 4 million. With the money he moved to Mexico and bought the gym. Don't know how true that is.

Bullshit on the 4 Million. If he had it he'd be on the boards talking shit.

Palumbo always said Romano was notoriously lazy, had to be heavily edited, and never made his deadlines.

Ok? BUT, I always enjoyed Romano's writing style.
I remember having a brief exchange of pm's with him on the MD site when he was going strong there.

I could tell he looked down on me for being a nobody physics teacher, but wtf.
He was rather  taken back when I told him what my mortgage rate % was .
He actually replied with something about how I must have awesome credit and seemed impressed yet surprised.
I told him that a steady , stable career of many years and paying your bills on time = great credit.

I always got the impression John (and Dave) thought my type of career path was foolish and dumb.
Ya know, to them, I was some sucker , doing the conventional, safe career.
He was sure that MD would take off and he'd be making even more within a few years.
But, within a year they got fired from MD...go figure ???

I respect those like you , JR and Dave P who can make a legit $$ from the "fitness industry".
BUT, now at age 56, I'm happy I took the path I did.
