Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
When Meltzer talks about people, he usually speaks about their actions and not their character, and this makes me listen to what he says more often.

When most wrestling personalities talk, they trash people personally, and I tend to stop listening unless I admire the person for another unrelated reason.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
I enjoy the idea that it takes some kind of external provocation for Nia Jax to do something dumb

If WWE sent out a memo that said "be mean to dave meltzer for cash and prizes" someone woulda leaked that to Dave.

Dave would then be in a moral quandary about whether or not he should ruin anyone's chances for cash and prizes. Ultimately, he decides he's that not that petty so we end up with:

You're not trying hard enough. A bar I used to go to had blenders attached to stationary bicycles so you could mix your own margarita. I don't see why you couldn't apply the same principles to cupcakes.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

I started cracking up when Filthy Tom started slobbering over how great Harlem Heat is and Bryan interrupts him to ask if he’s just sucking up to avoid Stevie Ray cutting a promo on him like he is going to do to Meltzer.

Neither Bryan or Dave review and talk much about IMPACT these days and readers/voters do very little independent watching of Pro Wrestling.

In honesty i had Ospreay picked as most outstanding wrestler with Omega as best overall. Surprised Ospreay came in 4th behind Ibushi and Okada.
