The Meltzer Thread

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Wow. I guess Meltzer is slow on the draw.

He thought the Rockers were chairs, did he not?

Verne Gagne loved pulling out his hog as much as he hated keeping up with pop culture so I can believe Hall being named after the condom and not TA.

 

[Valeyard]

In a way, Verne was the Milton Bearle of wrestling.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Hey! Verne Gagne may have been woefully behind the times and he may have killed his assisted living facility roommate in a dementia induced rage but he didn't do anything scummy like being known as a notorious joke thief!

 

[Valeyard]

I always lowkey wanted to believe he was the Verne that Ernest harassed the hell out of.

Best hour you'll spend this week:

 

[BruiserBrody]

He thought the Rockers were chairs, did he not?

That has to be BS. He had "Rock and Roll" Buck Zumhofe on the roster consistently from 1977 or whatever onward.

"He was named The Godfather, not after the popular pizza franchise but...."

He depresses me. Like, I see a life that isn't lived to the potential it could be.

I knew people were going to clown on that comment as soon as I heard it, but for the job of running the creative end of a wrestling company that grosses a billion dollars a year, I mean not just a booker but someone to run it in the way Vince does, who is there? Bruce?

i mean the guy is pretty successful. considering his limitations, i'd say he's an overachiever.

also kreese defending this guy all the time but acting like he's not DF is my fav wrestling folder meme rn

Absolutely no one.

I think the greatest contribution to wrestling Tony Khan can make is delegate a B show, just to give someone else experience running a television wrestling program.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Seeing if a successful indie promoter can translate their success with a larger budget/scale of operations is an idea but only precedent is Gabe Sapolsky and he's really too much of a grifter even by wrestling industry standards.

 

[alkeiper]

What about tv industry standards?

 

[JHawk]

Meltzer made the "mistake" of saying "Paul Levesque" came out to hug Ciampa, and the number of people trying to correct him that it should be Triple H is beyond ridiculous. Of all the things to question about Meltzer, using the real name instead of the gimmick name when he came out as an executive instead of the gimmick should be at the bottom of the list.

Going to just start posting a "Show me on the doll" meme when people bitch about Meltzer over petty bullshit.

::goes back to prepare meaningless rant when Meltzer gives FTR-Briscoes a lower rating than Bucks-Omega/Page in next week's issue::

WWE needs a different kind of boy to lead the way.

From this week's newsletter...

It certainly appears Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Kingston in some sort of a stimulation match

GDI Meltzer

 

[Hawk 34]

He’s given shittier matches the same or more praise so he’s right on brand now.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I guess all WWE needed to do to get a needlessly rated five star match is a star from AEW.

 

[Valeyard]

I didn't know people legitimately liked that match so much. Dumbfuck energy really does get you stars.

Why is Meltzer doing vaguely ominous posts about a release that happened a year ago? Is he trying to sabotage Bray’s comeback?
