Hey, I just thought of something! Since Dave is SUCH a preeminent leading authority in this stuff that he feels the need to go on tv to talk about it….. How long do you think HE knew this stuff and covered it up to keep his job?! DAVE SHOULD NOT ESCAPE JUSTICE!

The AEW check must’ve cleared for Dave this week

NH Gunza2 years ago

That was one of the most irresponsible, stupid news pieces ever done.

The Truth Hurts2 years ago

That’s perfect for their narrative. Get one of the biggest WWE critics in the world to talk about a situation he knows nothing about other than what everyone else knows 😂😂

Kent2 years ago

Out of all the people why Dave?

Triple H won't escape jail.

I was interested and then called that hack the definitive voice which, no matter what side of the fence you’re on, we know is bullshit. He has zero credibility when it comes to anything related to WWE.

Fat_Ironman2 years ago

Holy shit. What a trash segment. 1st, ignoring Riddle having major issues and not mentioning he was Fired because of them. 2nd, wrestlers dying young? This is no longer an issue Lastly….Ric Flair??? He is as much a predator as Vince!! God, Meltzer sucks

TheWholeF’nBuckeye2 years ago

They let this dumb fuck on TV with another dumb fuck lmfao. Bunch of uneducated fools rambling in circles.

Fat Bastard2 years ago

He doesn’t know anything about this.

I don't think they're going to get Booker of the Year like last year. I don't think they're going to get Wrestler of the Year like last year. They're definitely not going to get Most Outstanding." - Dave Meltzer

I agree with Dynamite Dave that the WWE overplayed their hand on All In weekend. And I’m not going to apologize for the E recognizing that AEW is “competition”. Isn’t that what the sickos wanted? Well, this is part of the wrestling business.
