FALSE!
He was either under contract with MD or he wasn't. Blechman doesn't let his bodybuilder contracts lapse unless he isn't interested in renewing them (see Lee Priest meltdown thread for details). Because Wolf took 16th, Blechman hemmed and hawed about whether it would be worth it to sign Wolf for another two years. Enter Weider with more money and walla!
It's a well known fact that Weider has been looking to steal Wolf from MD for the past two years.
Conspiracy theories aside, Kevin, please show us one time in the history of bodybuilding where Weider signed a bodybuilder who took last place in his last contest.
Bottom Line: Dennis Wolf, in identical condition, as a Weider athlete = 7th place at 2009 Olympia.
God...you're such a moron.
First, his contract was UP...so it wasnt he was or wasnt...his contract was ENDING. He then had a choice as to who to sign with. Blechman didnt have anything to do (or say) about it, as Dennis was trying to sign LAST year with Weider, but was in the middle of a two year deal and he thought the option year decision was HIS...obviously, he didnt understand it...
Federov was re-signed after taking last...
Matarazzo was signed after taking last at his first Olympia...
Dennis as a Weider athlete looking the same, places the same...
