Before you got interested in bodybuilding, cerca 3 years ago, Wayne DeMilia was actually vice president of the IFBB, and the guy responsible for years of injustice within the IFBB.
DeMilia was very much part of creating the judging culture where a guy like Rusty Jeffers is placed in 8th.
Exactly where do you get the idea that Wayne DeMilia is going to do something entirely different from what he did when he was running the IFBB?

Vice President, so he took his orders from the President and the owner. Even as the President he took his orders from Weider. How can you and some others who have been around for awhile don't realize this. How can you say Wayne made the decisions. He followed through with them absolutely, it was his job. Just like when a private in the military is ordered to kill someone. He is following orders. He did not come up with them. It is Weiders company. DO any of you know this. Or is this a news flash. I know most companies owner have the final say so. They say yes or they say no. I don't know of to many big companies like the IFBB that is in the public eye to have so many things happen behind their back. Have you seen the Board of Directors the IFBB has. Every single one of them work for Weider. He is their boss including Wayne's. If Wayne did all this stuff that was so bad why didn't Weider fire him. Wayne was with Weider how many years. This was Wayne's job and passion. 100% of the Olympia is paid from Wayne's pocket. Weiders didn't help fund any of it. Wayne takes 100% of the risk and Weider gets 66+% of the profits. Just like now AMI puts up 100% of the cost. Weiders sit back do nothing and collect money. There were other shows too that Wayne came forward with no fanfare or anyone knowing and help pay for costs that the promoter could not pay out of his own pocket. Maybe not all the time like with the FLorida show, but it happened more times than not. Do you think the Weiders are that stupid and let Wayne go off on his own and do things by himself without either their approval or their suggestions.
Does anyone know how much expense were just for the Weiders to attend the Olympia. Just their expenses. Does anyone know the exact amount the Weiders get for the fee for the Olympia. The Weiders are not stupid. What Wayne did however bad at times was not entirely his fault. He had orders and he followed them.
With the PDI he has NO ONE to answer too. That is why it will be allot better than how the IFBB is run and how the IFBB shows are run. And that is why the PDI athletes will have a better chance at a career in BB rather than losing what they have and making only Weiders, Manion and the IFBB money.
And the judging criteria regarding Rusty was implemented by Weiders and the Board. It is a known fact how anti-gay and anti porn they are. Weider probably had a bad experience sometime in his life.
