Critical pro wrestling fan. Calling out hypocrites, tribalist fans, and wrestling "journalists" since 2021. Not a Dave Meltzer puppet.

It’s been nearly two years since Blake/Mariah last appeared on AEW TV. I swear, she lives rent free in some of your heads.
Some of you are obsessed with hoping she fails, and for what? Because she left for WWE?
What happened to support the wrestler, not the promotion? (1/3)
She’s 28 years old and has a bright future ahead of her. Sure, she was world champion in AEW, but she often felt like an afterthought. She felt secondary to Mercedes and Toni.
Speaking of Toni, I don’t think she’s reached the level of The Hollywood Ending since either. (2/3)
He’s Sting. If Meltzer didn’t think he was Hall of Fame-worthy in 2016, you have to question whether or not Dave is really a wrestling fan.
Sting’s body of work in NWA/WCW alone makes him a lock for any wrestling hall of fame. His TNA run really makes it a no-brainer. (1/3)
Reminder that Sting wasn't worthy until he went to AEW in Dave's self-fellating fake HOF. @davemeltzerWON
His WWE stint was lacklustre and ultimately too brief to even matter.
He obviously hadn’t had his AEW run by 2016, but it doesn’t really matter. He had already cemented his legacy by then. It was just a way for him to finish his career on his own terms. (2/3)
For someone who considers himself to be a journalist, Dave Meltzer really has no journalistic integrity.
There’s no reason to believe WWE was behind Ilja Dragunov’s visa issues, yet he baselessly speculates that they were behind it to further an agenda. (1/3)
Dave Meltzer seems to suggest that WWE was behind Ilja Dragunov's visa situation becoming "difficult" ahead of Dragunov's AEW debut at WrestleDream wrestlinginc.com/2291687/dav…
Why are we acting like WWE wrestlers aren’t subject to visa issues too? If you aren’t American and work in the US, it can happen to you.
Dave’s colleague Bryan Alvarez seems to know this, considering he reported they were dealing with significant visa issues back in June. (2/3)
Remember when WWE did this to Brodie Lee and you said they were evil for doing so? Support the wrestlers, not the promotion. All that jazz.
Now, the shoe is on the other foot and you're saying Dralistico shouldn't have signed the contract and AEW is well within its rights. (1/2)

This is misleading, to say the slightest. Amber Nova has never been signed to AEW, nor does she represent the company.
She happened to work a handful of matches for AEW on Dark and Elevation in 2021 and 2022, just as she worked a couple of matches on NXT in 2019.

Tell me again how AEW is "real pro wrestling" and not "sports entertainment." Aubrey counting it as a pin makes it 10x goofier and an even bigger eyeroll.
This is the same sports entertainment that AEW fans claim to be against, when WWE does it. Two sides of the same coin. (1/2)
I don't understand where people got the idea I think they're all homegrown WWE talent from. I never once said they were, because I know they're not. The majority established their names elsewhere.
I said they were all on the WWE roster this past January, which is true. (1/3)
Kofi is 100% a WWE guy. I'd argue Austin Creed as well. He was there more than 5x as long as he was ever in TNA, and his NJPW stint was a cup of coffee.
Ciampa made his name in ROH, but I doubt Tony Khan only signed him for a 4-year body of work from over a decade ago. (2/3)
Tommaso Ciampa, The Motor City Machine Guns, Kofi, Austin Creed, and now seemingly Ilja Dragunov all signed to one company.
Do you really want AEW to be an alternative, or do you just want to watch WWE from this past January?
“We are SO back.”
If a good chunk of the fan base never admits fault with the AEW product and accuses all criticism of being in bad faith, what is there to be back from?
Similarly, how can the feeling be restored if you never say it went away? Makes no sense. (1/2)
