We don't really care about scoops anymore, other sports have ESPN and radio shows, we have a bunch of smarky podcasters like Sam Roberts and we network BS talkshows. In a sea of cringe worthy bullshit we have Meltzer, who is a walking encyclopedia on the sport/show we know and love that provides interesting opinions and insightful knowledge, while sometimes getting carried away and speaking in hyperboles.

From Cuck Foley's 1st book:
>One night, in San Jose, we were mildly concerned about our little stinkathon of a match. Dave Meltzer, who wrote the Wrestling Observer newsletter, was in the crowd, and we knew he'd severely blister our effort whether Austin laughed or not. Fun was one thing, but getting ripped to shreds in the underground sheets was another.

Attitude era wrestlers feared Meltz.

WWF were making use of his services in the 80s

He's more popular than ever because his shit is so easy to download illegally

Maybe a thousand schmucks actually pay him, and he has to split the money with Alvarez.

I don't know if it was the greatest work in history but it did prove regardless of what wrestlers or anti smarks say about him he has a good amount of influence amongst the wrestling crowd.

People used to worship All Japan and NOAH like they do to NJPW today because of him. Not that some newfag like you would even know anything about those other promotions.

Just a quick reminder that if you didn't start watching wrestling in 1993 at the very least then you should not be here.
