Ironically when Meltzer talks to Alvarez, I always find he is delusionally optimistic about the product. He often uses the absurd "well, let's see how this goes" approach to their shitty booking and character sabotage even when their track record doesn't justify any faith whatsoever.

“Looks like your sex life is going to struggle!” - in response to a fan saying he will break his own fingers if Roman wins the WWE title (2016 deleted tweet) That is so f***ing funny man. I love it.

I thought it was pretty funny. I like when wrestlers just let people have it on social media. It's ruthless.

I love how wrestlers always get blamed for shitting on fans, but when fans say this shit, the smarks deserved to be shit on for being so pathetic over not liking someone in a scripted form of entertainment.

Can't wait for people to unquestionably believe one man over a locker-room full of people who have been in the industry and probably know more about the industry than a guy who writes about it. I don't know why people believe Meltzer, a guy who just talks about wrestling, over actual, legitimate wrestlers who're in the industry and are in those locker-rooms that Meltzer isn't.

Yes, we get it. You don't like Dave Meltzer. Enough.

I don't like how people just instantly go "Well, Meltzer said this, so it's automatically right." and don't pretend like people don't do that, because they do. I swear, it's like you can't say anything bad about the guy without people jumping on you for daring to have an opinion that is different to the praise that most people give Meltzer.

I have a hard time believing anyone on the WWE payroll being completely truthful about anything going on with WWE backstage shenanigans upfront. Nor would I expect them to anyway, because that's the way things have always operated. Everyone's going to tow the company line in the light and even if the locker room is "against him," all it takes is one person behind everyone's back to be an anonymous source.

I've often thought this. You often get people claiming Meltzer is anti-WWE but it's just totally untrue. On the Wrestling Observer shows it's often Alvarez ripping Raw or Smackdown to pieces about how bad the shows are and often Meltzer will say he didn't mind the show or he quite liked it. It's only in the last 18 months I'd say, when I think everyone can agree the WWE product is as bad as it has ever been, that Meltzer has started to be really critical of the WWE product and even then he's still much less negative than Alvarez.

I think Alvarez has just, like a lot of people and I include myself in that, completely given up on main roster WWE. The product is so awful that you can tell he's really struggling to watch both Raw and Smackdown every week so yeah when it comes to those reviews he's pretty miserable. He is very complimentary though and loves NWA, AEW and NXT. In fact he seems to enjoy most things outside of WWE main roster.

Alvarez should do more movie reviews. The few he has done were entertaining. It's definitely a chore for him to watch WWE now and I sympathise with that.

I get the idea that if he didn't need to for his job, Alvarez wouldn't touch WWE main roster programming with a Vince Russo-style pole.
