Hit hard like brass knuckles

Why are people suddenly writing about Meltzer?

They could have at least tried to pretend they didn't just reprint the NYT article without doing a shred of independent research.

Holly came across as a human being and not a raving psychopath like he's basically been portrayed a lot on the Internet.

I don't know that anyone thought he was a raging psychopath as much as an rear end in a top hat and a bully, which he still pretty much is.

Because he is awesome and deserves it?

No it's what Bobkatt said. Someone else did the work and British journalism is lazy and corrupt as gently caress.

Edit: The Telegraph is doing to The New York Post what Lords of Pain does to Dave Meltzer!

The New York Post is basically what the Telegraph is. We can debate which is worse, but both are awful rags.

I mistyped. Meant to write New York Times. I know the NYP is a piece of Murdoch poo poo.

Also the Torygraph is worse because the owners bought an island, forced democracy on it and then fired everyone on the island for not voting the way they were told.

I've always found it fine, people don't like it for the same reason others don't like the Guardian. Its not like its the Daily Mail or gord forbid the Sun...Mail is just as bad, but the Sun has that written for and/or by elementary school children style like the NYP which makes the Mail...ever so slightly better...at least in grammar and structure.

The question is did they steal that from HuffPo, or did HuffPo steal that for them? But yes The Sun with exception of humorous covers over the years, is a horrible horrible loving paper.

The Telegraph is exactly the same poo poo as the Mail or the Sun but targeted at people who regard reading the latter two as beneath them. It is the UKIP to the Mail/Sun's BNP/EDL

That would require them to watch TNA which I don't think they have any interest in doing.

He did that on the board too in a thread about why Curtis Axel deserves a push:

He's tall.

Oh, sorry.

He's got a better body.

Oh, sorry.

The other guy ruined being a headliner when he started Yodeling.
