Dave is great but sometimes he has a real problem admitting his mistakes and I don't think it's somehow mentally abnormal to point that out and encourage him to be better

I thought Bryan and JR had a good dynamic on the Ross report. There was one instance where JR clearly didn't agree with Bryan's opinion, but he was politely diplomatic about it.

Yeah, it was a quite enjoyable show and they played off each other pretty well.

I think my favourite Bryan-ism is him putting "A fun show as always, so check it out~!" in the description on breaking news audio when someone dies.

I was wrong about this also because listening to them identify good things on the old shows is good and makes for a more productive critique of the current poo poo

I enjoy wrestling and I enjoy Dave Meltzer talking and writing about wrestling and neither of those things are affected whatsoever by the real or not real amount of people who sat in the building and watched that wrestling.

What is the most disputed Meltzer match rating?

I remember he rated this HBK-Jannetty match on RAW in 1993 ****3/4 and got a lot of poo poo for it:

Has he actually seen the show? I mean it's weird to get upset about it cuz as far the universe it exists in, it's about the only promotion where the competition is treated as real by everyone involved even if it is a bit cartoony.

Cornette managing, say, Cage and not being let in on any of the storytelling aspects of LU would be hilarious.

I gave up months ago when he and Alice went on an interminable reddit-as-gently caress childfree rant.

Yeah, his new cohost sent him some clips, which he got extremely pissed off about because it's not treating wrestling like a legitimate sport.

Jim makes no sense sometimes. He hates ridiculous comedy wrestling, but was introduced to wrestling by the goofy-as-gently caress Memphis product and loved Plowboy Frazier, who was a comedy wrestler and also terrible.

Plenty of people bitched that he didnt give HBK/Taker at WM25 the full 5 rather than a measly 4 3/4 stars (iirc he took a quarter star off becasue of the cameraman botch that had Taker land on his head)
