He's ripping Meltzer on twitter basically saying he's terrible and people are stupid for paying for his stuff because they just "feed him fake info". Then he turns around and sucks off Rosenburg and Sam Roberts because they are on the "inside".
But to me the best part of this is Bruce Prichard joining in.
It's so funny to me how these old school WWF types have some a hardon for Meltzer, it's like he beat them down and laughed about it.

JBL sucks and is a bad person. He should climb a mountain and stay up there.

I mean, on the one hand, he could be right.
On the other hand, he's also the man who said he didn't steal Justin Roberts' passport when nobody accused him of stealing his passport, essentially saying he was the one who stole the passport without actually saying it.
So JBL has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth.

I don't like Meltzer, but I really don't like JBL or Rosenberg.

I just find all of it really funny, oh and on that list Al Snow, he hates Meltzer too.
I wonder what makes someone hate Dave Meltzer "OMG he is not a worker and is getting paid from this business we hate him!"

Eh, at this stage of his life this is probably on the lower end of negative things he has said or done. He's still a terrible person though.

The last time I heard Rosenberg he was chastising people for daring to think that Jinder could possibly maybe kinda be on steroids.

JBL getting f***ed up via a Joey Styles punch is one of the funniest things to ever happen in wrestling.

Out of all of Vince's powermad stooge boys, I think JBL might be my least favourite and that's saying a lot.

JBL probably just woke up realizing nobody was paying any attention to him and decided he'd pick a fight with someone. Same old shit.

Some create a monster out of Meltzer that isn't there. He reports news, gives his opinion, sometimes he's right, sometimes he's wrong. No different than any other journalist in any medium. How many times do sports journalists report a signing or trade that's going to happen and are completely wrong? How many times do they predict who's going to win the championship and that team doesn't even make the playoffs? Percentage-wise, Meltzer is probably right more than a lot of legitimate news sources.

Meltzer is more of a tabloid journalist than the legit journalist he and many fans like to think of him as.
He does some good in depth reporting from time to time like on the steroid trials but he mainly deals in rumour mongering using 3rd hand sources and reports their opinions as fact.
If he was a legit journalist he would at least reach out to the WWE's PR department to confirm or deny what he's posted as is standard, even if it's just so he can write "I reached out to WWE and they refused to comment" but the fact he doesn't even take basic steps like that says it all about his journalism.

It's hard to be legit when the people who are in charge of what he covers are still really carny. Bruce Prichard no longer works there and his show might as well be called "why dave meltzer doesn't know anything". Usually the wrestlers and promoters that have a problem with Dave are the ones who are pissed off they can't control his narrative. I mean in all reality if you go back and read his reports from years ago, he's right way more than he's wrong. |

I don't see the point in having a Two Minutes Hate every time somebody people don't like dares open their mouth.

A lot of guys working in the wrestling business don't like Dave.
There are rare exceptions like Lance Storm, Cornette and Bret Hart. But for the most part they despise him and guys that do this type of work. I think it goes back to the idea of protecting the business and kayfabe.

I think of him more as an analyst than a journalist. He's great for strictly wrestling business, what events are happening, who's coming and who's going, who's getting pushed and why, stuff like that. He seems to have good sources and he's mostly right about what he talks about. Anything deeper than that he's not so good. When it comes to social matters like the Mauro Ranallos stuff he got overly emotional, and it seemed to me his priority was sticking up for his friend than reporting it objectively (it seemed a stretch to suggest that Jerry Lawler referred to him as "MR" as an underhanded means to call him a mental retard to his face). He also fumbled on the recent Michael Elgin stuff pretty hard. |
