I don't. Same way I have no issue with ROH. I just want Meltzer to cover it fairly and reflect reality. There's a lot of turmoil in ROH and it isn't in the newsletter.

I didn't say that. Meltzer complete refusal to say anything remotely negative about her is.

Charlotte in interviews is well aware of her faults and has a pretty decent perspective of her abilities. I've no real issue with her at all.

If that's the case maybe you should reflect on the way people react to you and realize that you can be hellishly overbearing about the subject and continuously bring it up to a point that people are put off by you.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

the only times he feels the need to constantly poo poo on wrestlers/personalities he feels are bad or overrated are when they're women, whom he obsessively follows details of even though he compulsively dislikes them. It's blatant and creepy

It's actually when wrestlers or their legendary fathers are extremely high on Dave's sources list and it affects his integrity as literally the only wrestling journalist

It's still dumb. You can talk poo poo about someone while still putting over that they have talent, so when they beat you, you're being beaten by one of the best. It's less egregious here because everyone knows how good Nakamura is, but that doesn't make it not stupid.

Calling Nakamura bad makes Riley look dumb and buries him when he loses. Everything about that promo was perfect.

I kinda feel sorry for this guy Paul who calls in to Observer to give Chikara reports. He's enthusiastic and genuine and obviously is really taken with the promotion, but unfortunately his delivery of his reports just seems to suck all the humor and fun out of it - this might be a bizarre analogy but it is like listening to an episode of M*A*S*H with the laugh track taken out.
