Put your name on it -- what is your true opinion of Dave Meltzer?

[Buggsy Mogues]

I see a lot of Meltzer slander around here, about the man I view as the GAWD of wrestling reporting. Is he wrong? Occasionally, or RARELY to be more accurate, but more often than not he's right and we should feel blessed that this man is still churning out the top rasslin news on a daily and weekly basis

 

[Silkk]

He's great for the culture, definitely a lil off in the head tho.

 

[thearmdealer]

I let you know.......maybe.....most likely not but certainly

 

[MushroomX]

His rep has been fukked up, as Vince's creative plans change every second instead of developing a long term plan for certain superstars.

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

He's great for the culture, definitely a lil off in the head tho.

Anyone who has covered Vince's ideas, wishes, whims and various ducktales for over three decades would have to be.

I respect what he does - it's a thankless task, and as someone who's worked in the journalism field before, dealing with artists, I can only imagine how difficult his job has to be dealing with billionaire lunatics and roided up, strung out talent with an axe to grind.

 

[Superkick Party]

Reliable

Honestly the dude is an encyclopedia in terms of wrestling knowledge and history, but in terms of being an insider dude's barely worth more than an internet mark yet somehow he's caking off this tabloid-level info

His radio and verbal communication skills in general though

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Not a laughing stock per se but definitely not a credible journalist. It seems he lost his credible sources years ago and double talks to cover up possible mistakes.

Garbage posting. Meltzer's news is consistently correct as often as can be when covering Cokeboy's product. He has most of the major matches called months in advance. He was telling us it was gonna be HHH-Rollins (before he got hurt) and then HHH-Reigns months ago.

 

[Jmare007]

I think his taste on current wrestling is pretty shytty and he's not a really good writer. BUT I have huge respect for what he does, dude is the only one that really cares about giving a real look at the wrestling business. He's not flawless and deserves some criticism from time to time, but as far as wanting to get good info about the biz, he's the go to guy for a reason.

His double talk is funny as fukk and worth trolling him though, not sure why people get so defensive about it, it's not like Dave gives a shyt

Who else do we got

Meltz held you down 29 Summerslams, where's the love

He was the one with ALL the info on AJ, Nakamura, Gallows, & Anderson.

 

[Silkk]

Crazy shyt is, not only does he do extensive wrestling journalism. He does the same for MMA as well

There's a couple other guys out there, none with the sources and background of him tho. Guys like a Wade Keller

MIKE: Do you consider those guys to be your competition? What are your opinions on what Wade Keller has done with the Torch, and you mentioned Bryan --?

MELTZER: I think Wade Keller is a good businessman. I don't think ... in a sense you could say he's competition, and I don't consider him to be competition, because I don't consider what he does and what I do are all that similar.



Nah, but Keller is cool, I used to read the Torch but it doesn't have the same depth as WON and thier audio show are terrible in quality.
