Strummer Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I kinda see his point. A fan last week asked him if Lana got implants and Dave gave that response with an implication that she had got them. With questions like that I see why he would be a bit annoyed but yeah he doesn't have to acknowledge them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid dracula Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Dave has taken to answering Twitter questions about wrestlers by saying: "Ask him." Which is obnoxious. If he doesn't like the Twitter questions, he should ignore them. But why give that answer to fans who are in no position to query wrestlers? It's a small thing but a bad look for someone who's always put a lot of effort into audience engagement. Most of the wrestlers people are asking him about are on Twitter. Someone wondering about Wade Barrett's workout routine could ask him directly just as easily as they can ask Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 He gets asked stuff maybe 100 times a day for like 30 years straight. I'm surprised he remained diplomatic this long. Don't have a problem with him washing his hands of stupid questions nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Props to Meltz this past week on some excellent bios... Hayabusa, Einhorn and even Keith Emerson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Yeah those were excellent. Being a big 70s wrestling history guy I really loved the Einhorn bio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Redman Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 If that is true it must be Rock-related. He still has nothing to do officially right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 The only "big plan" for New Day is going to be entrance related. Their match is set already and if Rock was going to do anything substantial other than be some kind of "host" they'd have promoted the shit out of it.

Ricky Jackson Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Meltzer's bio on Joe Garagiola/history of St. Louis wrestling and the "Wrestling at the Chase" TV show in the latest Observer is a fantastic read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 Saw Meltzer at ROH on Saturday. He is much shorter than I thought he would be. He also looked much older than I was expecting. Just a random observation of many from this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 So catching up on the Observer Radio and can we all admit that Meltzer acted like a complete douche bag on the Zack Ryder situation. I mean the idea that being excited for winning a belt calling it the "greatest moment of your life" in a promo makes you a mark because it is "fake belt" tells you how much his is finished with pro wrestling these days.

jaedmc Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 What was Ryder supposed to say "Man it's so great they booked me to go over, but in the end belts and wins don't matter it's about who draws money! Buy my merch! Woo Woo Woo You know it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would have said the same about Shawn Michaels and his 'boyhood dream.' It seems like some guys will get leeway if they're a revered figure. The guy has been through a lot and got a nice little moment. Why wouldn't he talk it up? Does he expect him to not care? Besides, the whole thing was a scripted line to put heat on The Miz for screwing him. It's very bizarre that he was burying Ryder for taking a fake belt seriously while also not appreciating that it was a worked wrestling interview to set up an angle. Very weird and quite nasty I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 He was kind of harsh calling .Ryder an Miz shit workers as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Well it is clear there is some personal hatred for the Miz. Why I have no idea? So maybe just being associated with the Miz in a program means he has to shit on Ryder as well which is doubling down on the douchebaggery to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I think Dave's only point was that he should have said "career" instead of "life". But seriously, he celebrated his career highlight with his father in front of 100,000 in attendance. He doesn't have a wife or children yet. So come on.

It was a hell of a long-winded burial for such a minor correction. I know it's Dave and he's always long-winded but wow. One would think there was something more there.

Jesse Ewiak Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I think Dave's point was that being given the I-C title for a one day reign for no other reason than they didn't want Owens to job the belt to The Miz isn't exactly a career highlight, even if you won the belt at Mania. If he was going to be given a six month I-C title reign to build up the belt or frankly, something like a World Title win or the end of one of the NXT Women's matches, that's at least being given the ball by the company. This is being handed the ball for three seconds because the other guy has to go to the bathroom and then listing it on your resume as a career highlight.

ElHijodeGorgeousGeorge Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Dave is just like too many other people that are fans of wrestling; if it isn't in their wheelhouse, it is shit. It's a real shame too because there's so much in wrestling that can be appreciated without all the negative dogshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 I don't have a sub, so don't hear the podcasts. My current exposure to Dave is through twitter and he is the dirt worst on there. I'm very close to unfollowing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 He spends most of his time responding to randos who act like he's a writer at a cut n' paste site, he mentioned on the WON board he's not a big fan of Twitter but apparently him schooling idiots is good for business so he's sticking with it.
