Angry Grimace posted:...such as? For example: There have been lots of internal changes in the company Creatively the last 2 months that hasn't be reported. Meltzer has reported why WWE has taken on so many producers and what WWE's succession plan is. What has been the reaction from talent about the new producers. Read an old Observer from 10 and 15 years ago Angry Grimace posted:So nothing then. Please don't do this. I am not a liar. HidaO-Win posted:Like the Watcher, he knows but is sworn not to interfere. Nah it isn't my business to say. Nine of you can reply to me all at once but Meltzer promised more news than ever but we haven't got it. And there is news to report. One person's opinion and it isn't all that serious. rovert fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Feb 21, 2019 |

It's legit to say that if there is news to report. However how do we know there is news to report if nobody is reporting it? I'm not doubting you, I'm just saying in the absence of reporting, vague allusions to stuff going on bounce off us if we don't know what you are referring to in code. Are we meant to infer from your "Becky has a hard nut" crack from earlier, that she has a head injury keeping her from wrestling? Is this becoming a David Lynch piece? More seriously, do you think Dave has less info to distribute because WWE is considering him a hostile journalist on foot of AEWs emergence and he has seriously constrained access to previous sources. Concordently with AEW settling into a war footing, are they going to ask Dave not to spread different stories that might forewarn WWE of their moves.

It's about time to admit that people on here can't handle Being tipped off on the idea that something is happening but can't be entirely shared for either personal moral or professional reasons. some of us appreciate it, but it Doesn't seem worthwhile

He was pointing out how bad it was for a new viewer, how you had no idea who anyone was and how the commentary was too busy shilling to introduce people.

Nah he has just lost a lot of sources over the last 5-20 years and never cultivated more. Read old newsletters or listen to his Eyada shows. Whether it be JR, Cornette or the litany of WWE Creative team members in 2000s that used give him info. I thought not writing the Observer would, in fact, free him up to do more reporting. But listen to the Raw and Smackdown reviews this week just lots of speculation and few concrete facts or insights like he used to have. Also, the DIY are the new Basham Brothers is completely maddening without getting into future NXT spoilers. It is clear his NXT sources ain't the best either. I like Dave and the audio. I am not planning to unsubscribe. Please don't get pissy at me for just giving my opinion as a long time subscriber.

NXT is executing the same storyline with no change to the original plan. Neither Bryan and Dave seem to actually watch and follow NXT TV. They've tagged this year before they did on Raw.

They barely watch Smackdown, let alone NXT. No idea why they spend upwards of an hour on the Tuesday show covering the absolute worst show WWE produces in minute detail, then just ramble through SD and NXT results on the Thursday show and get half of them wrong or mixed up. I've stopped listening to the Tuesday WOR show at this point, I have no interest in hearing Bryan whine and squeal about stuff on RAW and then not even mention all the good stuff on SD/NXT because neither even watched it. I feel like I've listened to eps where they spend more time recapping Being the Elite than an entire SD episode. At least Dave watches 205 Live, god bless him, and calls out whenever it has a good match.

Hopefully when he can type again and can put it in the newsletter 20 minutes of each show won't be news about WWE TV ratings. I can find that on my own, I can't find news about Seth Rollins' spine (which has been shattered into a dozen pieces taking a shoot F5).

Rovert, a buffoon: Dave isn't doing enough reporting on WWE. Me, an intellectual: Dave should be doing even less reporting on WWE, because WWE sucks.

I haven't been able to listen to every show but it seems like Dave is out in front of some of the bigger stories like Undertaker, Mania changes and such a bit more than he would be normally.

Alvarez definitely watches Smackdown because he complains about it from when he watches it all the way through the end of whatever the last F4D he puts out that week is.
