I trust Dave Meltzer to win a UFC fight more than I trust CM Punk

You've got me confused with Willie Dee, friend. I made one "GSP is gay" joke ever and it was only because someone asked who the best Mo in MMA was. Other than that I don't post much at all.

My bad, you're right! Sorry

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.
If Punk was only a near top card guy for a few years, how does he have 13 million bucks? Does the WWE pay that much for guys who aren't named Cena?

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Yeah, one thing he brought up on podcast was that he was drat near Cena's merch sales...which was very impressive since like 80% of what WWE actually stocks at shows is Cena merch.

If there's one thing that can be relied upon on these forums, it's posters who've never lifted anything heavier than an Xbox controller assuming anyone who has biceps is on juice.

He's 56. I can bench my body weight (215lbs) and I don't have arms like that.

I'm nearly 38, I should probably talk to my doctor and get a script.

Meltzer has worked in an industry that's so bodybuilding focused for so long that he's probably absorbed more hgh through osmosis than anyone alive.

Doing curls for 18 hours while writing the newsletter would explain most of its typos.

Realistically he's not 100 percent natural just like looking at social forces in terms of the sports he's around, how much money he has, being old etc. But you're 200 percent right and it's annoying when people no offense fellas have been lifting for like six months to two years and start making call outs

E: this sounds way ruder than I mean to be so I cleaned it up but you all get my point right?

That's entirely fair, I only brought it up because of his age. Also it's father's day and I'm most of the way in on an excellent bottle of sloe gin. Sorry for casting unfair aspersions.

Word I'm definitely really buzzed too. Your age comparison is a good point and probably the number one reason why that dude fails the eyes fest but unironically

He used to work out a lot when he was younger. He looks like an old dude who just kept up up with it somewhat. Even if he left it for a while, muscle memory would kick in. People are acting like he looks like 70's Arnold FFS lol. He is in great shape for someone of his age, but let's not go insane and start going on about steroids.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Meltzers made no secret that one of the reasons some wrestlers were comfortable talking to him was because he looked like he belonged in their world. Like Vince's attitude towards him changed as soon as they discovered they shared a love of bodybuilding.

I love the story about the promoter who had a scrawny jobber named Davey Meltzer because thats how he pictured the guy until someone smartened him up and told him Big Dave was swole as gently caress.
