Insane knowledge of the business and its history, and his obituaries are the best wrestling writing you will find in the history of everything, period.

He may not be batting 100 on his predictions but often he is right and has to be given credit for that.

Most people who hate Meltzer don't actually read the Observer and instead base their opinion on his credibility off of hack websites that just report speculation he makes on the Observer Radio as NEWZ to get clicks.

There's a couple other guys out there, none with the sources and background of him tho. Guys like a Wade Keller
I used to listen to Keller a lot, he's a lot smarter than Dave and his opinions are a lot more interesting but he doesn't break news like Dave and he certainly doesn't put in the same amount of work

Everyone should subscribe for at least one month to check it out. Lately I've been going thru the archives which is worth it alone. Plus it's WM season so the new updates are gonna get even more interesting for the next 2 months when you figure WM and the aftermath.

Look at this random Canadian indy card from 93

3/26 Calgary (RMW - 100): Shane Croft b Steve Rivers, Chris Jericho b Jason Helton, Atomic Punk (Len St. Clair) NC Katana, Ken Johnson b Steve Wilde, Eric Freeze b Dillon Powers-DQ


23 years ago this month, Jericho was wrestling for 100 people (probably less than that number in reality)

I used to say the same before i subscribed. Most of that is just misinformation tbh. Some People take his thoughts and run with them as facts.
Possibly true. But that doesnt make me want to describe. Its one thing to bounce ideas around on here as speculation but having sources bring expectations in the mix. Expectations he has been eating for years off of.
