Olympia replay still not on Amazon
I thought the 2016 Olympia was going to be available for replay a week after the show on Amazon. A quick search on Amazon and nothing relating to the Olympia can be found.

I'm all for Blechy mud to sling. But he has fallen so far down the totem pole that the only thing he could stop is publishing 12 issues a year of MD.
(Did that slip? I meant to keep it a secret that they are now only publishing 10 issues a year and will be starting that with what he is trying to pass off as a "Double Holiday Issue" marked December/January on the cover. But it is the same shrinking size as any other bad issue of his washed up rag and the content is also the same. More first-person features by Ron Harris, ghostwritten columns by the same with an IFBB pro's by-line, circumventing FLEX's athletes by employing their gurus, etc.)

He should just go super old school and publish quarterly like Robert Kennedy did initially. It was either quarterly or six times per year, I forget. Those mags were like phone books.
Then MuscleMag International went monthly but at some point it dropped from 150 pages or some thick number to almost pamphlet-like, maybe 70 pages on thinner paper stock. Those were saddle stitched, iirc. His magazine bounced back and he produced some thick monthly issues with great art, photos, articles, and interviews.
I have more nostalgia for the Bob Hoffman MD and S&H mags than Blechman's version. John Grimek was the editor and he had a Q&A way back when.
Who remembers the digest sized Iron Man mags? Loved those, too. What, six point type? o.OFacebook | Instagram | Twitter | Join Rx Muscle on Facebook!

Amazon could have turned this into an interesting cross-promotion opportunity...maybe something like, watch the replay and use X-code to receive 15% off any health or fitness order in the next 24 hours...that way it feels more like a "money maker" for Amazon
Or shoot, maybe even Olympia exclusive merchandise of some kind...this partnership had way more potential than I feel like was explored

You & I have similar thoughts, Curt. Before Gregg V & myself were fired by Blechy, we used to have those steak dinners (Dave & John remember them well, I'm sure) where we would pitch different ideas to him while he sipped on his red wine & told us how good it was for you. ("I'll make another 'byte' about this in the next issue.")
Gregg used to tell him to rename FitnessRX For Men to Strength & Health since he probably owned the name once he bought all the copyrights from the Hoffman estate. But he would never do that because it wasn't his idea.
Here's my commentary on the MD cut back:
