I think he was just referring to Meltzer talking about the supposed speech Seth made at the meeting, not the overall Saudi thing

That's Seth's gripe, yeah.  Has nothing to do with the airplane itself, Seth's talking about the RAW pep talk.

Well, it was about the speech and Dave made a retraction and an apology.

EDITED because of the retraction someone posted above.

Kept this part because I thought it was worth discussing:

 

I do believe that Seth is still liked and appreciated by his peers. I get the feeling that they sympathize with his frustrations and while they may not agree 100% with his tweets or even necessarily how positive he is about the company,  I do think they respect his effort, experience, etc. I mean, we have a thread here based entirely on how terrible we think Seth Rollins is. I know it comes with the territory when you're an athlete/entertainer, but, to his co-workers, he's a real, living, breathing human being who does appear to be trying. I don't think anyone here has ever even accused him of laziness or indifference. He clearly is a hard-working guy.

Unfortunately, to me, he works harder not smarter, embodies the whole concept of a "video game wrestler," and, by defending WWE Creative and making claims about being the best wrestler on the planet, has essentially positioned himself right in front of the basket waiting to be dunked on.

I'll never take away his work ethic, that's for sure. But like I said many times, getting in Twitter fights with workers from rival promotions will not endear you in the slightest way towards wrestling fans. And eventually, his co-workers if he happens to put his foot in his mouth. Obviously, it seems like he was right to have a gripe about Meltzer's reporting and good for him to call him out and everything but still, it's like Seth is sometimes waiting for the slightest occasion to pick a fight with someone over his work or the WWE product in general.

Reason #4663×6 on why they should've pushed Roman 

It would have made no difference in the long run. The structural rot in this company extends far beyond whoever is being pushed as the top guy. Cena was able to disguise the rot for a while, but he also helped to accelerate it.

[Strummer]

Yes, nothing against Roman but I don't think all of wwe's internal problems magically go away if he was pushed correctly as the top guy for the last 5 years

Honestly, I think this is one of the most fascinating issue when you reflect back at the last 15 years. John Cena was the tree that hid the forest, in the super favourable context of monopoly.

[War is Raw]

He was and is a non-union company man.

Actually, he has his SAG-AFTRA card now that he left The Empire.
