Seems like MD had the upper hand in terms of placings....to think there is any conspiracy for or against anyone with a pubs contract is ludicrious at best...Guys sign with diferent pubs for a variety of reasons, first one being a better offer (money wise), second one being associated with a particular company for personal reasons (dont agree with the philosophy, etc)...
No different than any other sport....
Just to play devils advocate for a second there Bob...
The sport of Bb`g is represented by who holds the "OLYMPIA" crown and thus garners alot of attention.Nobody really gives a hoot about the smaller shows champs (well maybe the arnold)...just as the WWE champ represents the WWE as a whole and alot of media attention is on him.Jay was on some morning media show prior to the O wasnt he ?
ALso it is WEIDERS olympia.As much of as an `unbias` card maybe played here , but being their own show wouldnt they want the champ to be one of their (obviously within reason , not some ouuta shape guy).
Human nature is human nature , being biased is part of that , its unbiasness that needs to be taught and worked on
Its not meant to discredit you , but rather im just asking
