Wow, Jorge, Jorge, Jorge!!! A little angry huh? You know for someone who has gotten the amount of publicity you have, by your own admission by the way, you seem to be the angry little man! I'm not a friend nor a foe of Steve Blechman, now I do understand you advertise in his magazine and pay big bucks, but that is after all business. Last year I did well, very well(3rd in my class at the nationals) everyone, and I mean everyone, from Steve B. to Flex Wheeler to Shawn Ray stopped to congratulate me and tell me how great I looked. I also flew out to L.A. for shoots for the mags. This year however, I got a bit spanked(8th). No one offered to shoot me, not even the magazine that I WRITE FOR(MuscleMag), as a matter of fact if I did not acknowledge Steve or Flex, they probably would have walked right past me. The bottom line, everyone loves a winner, and you didn't cut it in the eyes of MD. I admit it's not a 100% correct, but that's the way it is.
Perhaps you are not used to this, as you have always gotten the publicity because of your good looks and marketability. Welcome to our world Jorge, the one where we don't get covers cause we're pretty and have great flowing lines. You can't swallow that can you? Suck it up kid! It's ok, really.
Look at all the publicity you are going to to get when some of the top five guys go home trophy in hand and can only hope to someday be in, let alone on the cover of a magazine.
Quit being a baby.
