The Meltzer Thread

[cobainwasmurdered]

it's basic human psychology, appealing to our tribal nature.

 

[OldSchoolWrestling]

SNES vs Genesis started all this shit.

You mean Colecovision vs Atari??!!

Yet again, this is a new lowpoint even for Dave.

 

[tekcop]

Something's wrong with my brain. Because I was like "Brother Love seems like a real douche, but when did he get canceled?"

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah my initial reaction was like "When did Prichard say something dickish about Brodie Lee? Did they even work together!? And why is he doing a podcast with Meltzer over this!?"

 

[Valeyard]

I fucking hate Dave. This isn't even funny dumb.

That said it's the strongest case against an AEW bias you could ever have so

 

[Angle-plex]

Shocked that Dave isn't above bias and selective reporting when it comes to his friends

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

I read the headline and was like "Ah, the Sinister Minister is a piece of shit too?"

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Watching '03 TNA and Sinister Minister just has creepiest guy you'd meet at a munch vibes.

 

[Angle-plex]

Meltzer compared people getting upset about Mitchell to anti-vaxxers lmao

 

[Valeyard]

That's more like it. Although I have to say his calling a***-v***ers is like calling someone a m*rk,

 

[strummer]

I usually try to defend Dave but this gross. Yuck.

Watching '03 TNA and Sinister Minister just has creepiest guy you'd meet at a munch vibes.

Which is funny, because he seems to be an incredibly stand-up guy by all accounts. Done his share of roping rats, mind you, but not a ridiculous ass.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

So my blind guess that Sinister Minister seems like type of guy to hang out at a munch was correct. Eep!

I wonder if he ever brought Wrath and Mortis with him.

Holy shit was not expecting that

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Some people are speculating Meltzer interviewing Bruce Mitchell is going to win "Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic" in the Observer Awards. LMAO

 

[geniusMoment]

They had to do it. People weren't just saying they were going to cancel their subs, they were actually posting screenshots of it on twitter. And it was gaining momentum. That is the only reason this happened.

 

[Angle-plex]

he did the typical "I apologize people were offended" instead of actually apologizing for his behavior

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Unlike Hulk Hogan stans (no offense, @BruiserBrody ), I feel like there's at least a portion of Observer readers who have courage of their convictions to cancel their subscriptions. Some already have obviously!

Also what am I saying? There are no liberal let alone progressive Hulk Hogan stans. Except @BruiserBrody

 

[strummer]

Not sure where else to post this since we don't have a catch all wrestling journalism (and I'm not sure if we need one) but 411Wrestling writer Larry Csonka died today. He reviewed pretty much every current wrestling show, from the huge PPVs to ROH house shows and TNA Xplosion. I read an interview with him very recently where he said he reviewed 40 hours a week or a similarly insane number. Really going to miss reading reviews. Just had a straight forward, no BS style.

What a sad day for wrestling today.

1 year ago today.

Still bummed

[cobainwasmurdered]

he's trying to say they'd counter program them if if was last year but it's such a pure meltzer way of saying it that you have to read it multiple times and know him to fully understand it. One of the several reasons I can't take him serious as a journalist/writer is his lack of editing.

[cobainwasmurdered]

I can actually see him smugly smiling as he typed that up. His troll game is on point.

 

[Valeyard]

I don't get it.
