Fascinating stuff.
I have almost that many VHS tapes in storage (though only about one-third of mine are pro wrestling).
It would be great to have access to Dave's tape collection, since he has almost every show since 1980. I wonder if he'll ever hire someone to transfer them to DVD?

He's not married is he? I thought I heard somewhere that he had a wife, but if he does there no trace of her from their house lol. I kind of hope that he does as otherwise I can't help but think the guy is terribly lonely by looking at his house.
I'm not criticizing him as I love me some Dave Meltzer, but just an observation.

Wow, I'd never guess it from those clips haha. I noticed a fisher price box in his shed, but after seeing everything else I thought he might have just picked it up just to use for storage. |

He's married and has two kids. How else would the rest of the house be clean?
If anything, I just would like to clean up that floor in his main office.
One fire and it's all over.
I laughed so hard at "there's a ladder, but not for ladder matches."

If there's ever a fire, I could imagine someone asking him about it: "Dave are you ok? I heard that there was a five alarm fire at your house last weekend!" "Five Alarm fire? Bah, it was a Three and a Half alarm fire at best  ." |

No worries about a fire, look below the Carano/Cyborg poster.  |

What a mess, and what an ancient computer.

What a mess, and what an ancient computer. I'm not surprised his computer is so old. It's 2013 and Meltzer still hasn't discovered the paragraph*. *joke, I think Dave is an incredible writer and has contributed to pro wrestling as much as anyone has. His analysis is priceless and the amount of work he puts in is insane. |

1.) Only a wrestling fan would have that many VHS tapes on display in a room
2.) I assume that since he spends "all his time" in that office (so much so that he can't transfer VHS to DVD - which I imagine is mostly waiting) that he pees on the floor and tosses papers onto the ground. In that case, it makes sense why it is so cluttered.

He's turned a geeky obsession into a successful career, so respect to him for that.
I'm surprised at how unorganised it all seems though. I know you would need to pay people to help out, but surely it's worth properly cataloging all his stuff? It seems pointless to have it if you don't know exactly where everything is.

As someone who fights the urge to obsessively hoard things myself, everything I own looks incredibly disorganised, but if someone needs to borrow something, I know exactly what box it's in so I've little doubt he does too. |

What a mess, and what an ancient computer. We should pitch in and buy Dave a more modern computer. |

I remember Meltzer had some explanation for the computer after it was "exposed" in the NY Times article a few months back....I can't remember what it was though.

This is legit one of my favorite finds through this board ever. Thank you for posting it.
I wish I could hang out with him and clean that stuff up. Who knows what kind of goodness you'd find?
