when was the meltzer report that she was retiring for personal reasons? that's literally from brad shepard. meltzer reported she was out for medical reasons iirc

Dave was merging a different injury report about Kylie into her leaving AEW. She got hurt after a Freeance date and missed Fyter Fest, then was released and Tony said it was personal issues, which is what dave is claiming now on twitter when people ask him about Kylie. Dave says he only knows what Tony is telling him and people think he should investigate further instead of just asking AEW and expecting it to be the truth since their original reason stinks.

The core thing is people don't believe AEW or Dave's reporting on AEW since he's too close to the people in control of the company who need him for PR reasons.

When people post Dave tweets., articles, or quotes from the podcasts there are people that say "what is he even saying" or misinterpret what he says because he's bad at phrasing things. It's the same issue with rovert's posts on here.

most of the confusion comes from people paraphrasing speculation and posting it on Reddit and sheetz sites as factual reporting to get clicks. like people saying he said Roman was faking leukemia when you can read the tweets and listen to audio for two minutes and see that he said the complete opposite. he has odd phrasing and speech patterns but he really isn't that difficult to understand if you pay even a bit of attention

It's part that, but he also has a bad habit of assuming everyone knows exactly what he's thinking when he does the "read between the lines" bit, especially on Twitter. We've read him enough to know what this tweet means (that WWE brass was intentionally vague about Reigns' particular diagnosis because they felt it would get him more sympathy than if they were upfront about the survival rate), but this was really not a good idea, all things considered:

I think Meltzer and Rovert are both bad writers and that the politics of "scoopz" largely stink, even though I acknowledge that they themselves are probably well-meaning most of the time. As only a casual fan of wrestling I usually have no idea what they're talking about anyway, just that I "have" to read page after page of people translating and mistranslating what they apparently said.

Remember when the Hulkster said that he was mistranslated from English that was a good laugh.

Disagree.

If you're tweeting Dave, you know enough about WWE to figure out why they kept it vague. They are the worst and they're transparent about it. Only kids don't know this and they're not tweeting at Big Dave.

For context, he's in a horrible "British pub" chain called The Hub that sell Fish & Chips, Margerita pizza and a yard long beer called the "Big Ben". It's the same as tweeting from an Olive Garden that you're "ready for Italy".

I was once attacked by Jimmy Havoc in a Hub.

I'm with you to a point, but on an internet where a disturbingly high number of people thought that Reigns faked having cancer in part because they didn't know that cancers like his existed, Dave's tweet and the similar comments on WOR didn't help matters at all.

Every attempt at a "British pub" that I've ever been in abroad has been 100% terrible, not to mention grossly inaccurate. "Irish pubs" are slightly better in that they usually get the drinks right at least, but they're so full of annoying Brits that you remember why you left the UK in the first place.

Assuming the date is right & it's 2001 I don't think Hero worked CZW that early, he was mostly still a midwestern guy. Two of the guys are Jay & Mark Briscoe, guy who does the flat back bump might by Ric Blade? Can't remember if he was bald by 2001 or not.

Yeah, that's Ric Blade with Mark and Jay on his shoulders, and that's Amazing Red that's getting suplexed. It was a six man tag with Blade and the Briscoes vs. the SAT.
