I've been feeling a little bitter toward them for awhile now. It just annoys me that they report news, and then just change it wheneer they want. I feel like any of us could run a legit news site, and just post what we think will happen as news, then if it doesn,t just say that plans were changed. Mr Kennedy is the son, oh plans were changed at the last minute

Other than Meltzer, the Torch and, to an extent, PWPopup, I don't really trust any of them.

Agreed. Someone should do a study to see what the right-to-wrong ratio is in their "news" stories and shut them down accordingly. Same thing with real news pundits come to think of it.

If they want to call themselves "journalists", someone has to hold them accountable. Put their feet to the fire!!

^ Seriously, they are wrong more than right. And when they are wrong, they never admit it, just blame it on the E changing plans or something. Just admit you are wrong guys, man.
BTW I'm still waiting for Kane to win the world title on May 19th.....

If you don't like the news sites, don't go and read them. At least the ones I frequent (the big 3 I guess you could say), they usually do alright. Meltzer and PWI usually are the best at breaking stories. Torch doesn't really do that anymore.

The one thing all of us need is one site that is guaranteed not to be a "NEWZ" site, but also hasn't got a million different popups.

If you don't like the news sites, don't go and read them. Yeah, if it upsets you so much don't read it/watch it.

The many things I hate about wrestling NEWZZZZZ sites:
The stupid links at the bottom of every ad. Seriously, are there really people out there stupid enough to believe that if you click the link, you'll really see Stephanie in a SHOCKING!!!!!>>>>>> LESBIAN LOVE SCENE WITH MICKIE JAMES!!!! CLICK NOW!!!
As others have said above me, when their news semi-educated guess is wrong, they say "Plans changed at the last minute" or "Vince Changed his mind." They'll never admit that (a) They were simply guessing, (b) they were wrong, and (c) they really have no "inside sources" and what little "insider news" they have is merely cut-and-pasted from legit news sources.
They repackage the same news over and over again. WZ is notorious for this. They'll give you the exact same information about a dozen times in one week, all with different headlines. "Breaking news: X was fired!" is usually followed up with their news guess about why X was fired. Then we'll get the "Real" reason why X was fired, which is a carbon copy of their first report. Then we'll get an update copy #3 of the exact same news, repackaged as an "update". They don't even bother to rewrite. They just copy and paste.
A chunk of WZ's "Did you know......." information is wrong.
I come here for my news. I've long since stopped reading NEWZZZZ sites.

The only wrestling news sites people should be reading if they wish, IMO...
Observer PWInsider PWTorch Figure4 LAW
that's it, if you go anywhere else (copy/paste, fake, pure crap) you pretty much get what you deserve.

The main thing I hate about newz sites is how they make general blanket statements that mean nothing.
"It looks like Sandman is getting set for a huge push"
What the hell does that mean? One win, Two wins, The world title?
Unless you can confirm something specific like "Sandman is going to go over Carlito and get an IC title run" then there's nothing to report.
