Meltzer on Regal having “health issues.” Denied by Regal

[Jindrak Mark]

As usual, for a professional writer Meltzer's wording is horrendous and causes unneeded headaches. "At this stage" implies (really outright states more than implies) Regal is going through something right now. And "are far more serious than have ever come out" sounds a lot more ominous and like it's a current issue. Using the word were instead of are would have made a big difference there. Although it's not even true that it never came out. Regal himself in 2019 announced on the one year anniversary that he had open heart surgery the previous year. It seems like a lot of people forgot or didn't know about it though which is understandable for random fans but Meltzer should've been aware.

So this one was more of the fault of Whatculture clickbait and people not reading full articles.

I'm so sick of this. I don't think what Meltzer said was even that badly expressed, it seemed pretty clear to me with the context. At best this is incredibly careless reporting by WhatCulture and at worst it's disingenous, deliberately misleading clickbait, but predictably the tedious nerds on Reddit and Twitter with an axe to grind have seized on it. I think they owe him a massive apology.

This sort of shit is what turns me off wrestling more than any bad wrestling.

It's really weird to me that a guy like Simon Miller who seems to have a lot of integrity continues to associate with a shit rag tabloid like What Culture.
