John Romano was earning 150k a year at MD

[Vince G, CSN MFT]

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

They were chatting with each other last year at the Mexican Pro Show.  I could be wrong

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.

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.

Vince, did you see this? http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/09/03/70991.htm

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

MD should hire goodrum


150$ in food stamps is enough

[Joe Pietaro]

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.

THE BEEF

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.
