George Farrah and Steve Blechman lie about having Essa signed to a contract.
From Dave Palumbo over at RX Muscle.
Team Rx Muscle attempted to get an interview with Obaid after the prejudging ended early Friday evening, but was, instead, intercepted by George Farah. Farah informed Dave Palumbo that Essa was already signed to exclusive MD contract; a signing that, according to Farah, took place a week earlier. Normally, this would have been the end of the story since Dave and the entire Rx Muscle staff are very respectful of exclusive athlete contracts. After all, this is how these guys earn their living. But this was no normal situation. At the Saturday afternoon Europa Pro Finals, Essa's wife (and manager) approached Dave and asked him if he'd like to interview Essa. Dave informed her that he would love to but he understood that Essa was not allowed to talk to anyone except Muscular Development. Expressing her frustration with Farah and MD, she revealed that Essa did NOT have a signed exclusive contract and that they would both love to do an interview with Rx Muscle (as website they both enjoyed visiting).
Prior to her approaching Dave, I witnessed what looked like a heated debate between Farah and her. I can only speculate that George was trying to convince Essa not to do the RxMuscle interview and his wife was upset by this. Since I don't speak Arabic, this is only a supposition on my part. What I do know for a fact is that immediately following her heated discussion with Farah, she had a lengthy phone conversation with MD owner, Steve Blechman, who after failing to convince her to NOT interview with Rx Muscle (despite there being no signed contract) actually hung the phone up in her face. I don't imagine that Essa's wife speaks Yiddish but if she did, I'm sure she'd think Blechman acted like a real putz. All I know is that I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism exhibited by Essa's wife in light of the high pressured sales pitch she was receiving from both Farah and Blechman.
seh ich das gerade richtig und ist das grüne fett-monster da im hintergrund essa?!
ich dachte mir erst was ein ochse, dann hab ich george daneben gesehen, das ist er doch oder? leeeeeeeeeeeeeck...
