Is there a list of notable wrestling personalities who hate Dave?

I know basically everyone associated with WCW's upper management but recently I stumbled upon an interview I think with Dutch Mantel where he went off on how Dave doesn't know anything. Just made me curious.

It’s the same as the list of salty old timers who think the kids these days are killing the business with the flippy flops and vlogging, basically.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

the entire replies are saying Not Good Enough Midnight Released Scam No One Will See This

i refuse to believe there are this many Dragon Gate fans on the internet.

hi im tony. did you know that a koala's appendix is about two meters long.
Bix as a person who has tried long and hard to be a figure in the wrestling media by doing epic takedowns on Meltzer I hope you finally can rest easy knowing you have slain the giant you've hoped to conquer for years

Very odd cult like behavior to act like someone who posted that not only was this not intended as a gotcha for Dave and that Dave did not take it as a gotcha takedown is out to get Dave.

I'm really struggling to understand why Dragon Gate being a niche within a niche makes it okay for Dave to make irresponsible reporting of the promotion.

The only time I hear about Bix is when he is doing something about Meltzer so that is the perspective I've had the last few years. Dave doing bad reporting bums me out but maybe between this and the bad reporting on multiple topics the past year he will get his head out of his rear end.

Bix was very fair in his article. The Voice Gate guys did a great write-up of what happened. They aren't clout chasers - Meltzer hosed up.

It doesn’t make it ok but it does make it about as low impact and unimportant as any kind of misreported news could possibly be.

People finding it ‘depressing’ is a wild overreaction imo.

He should know better in any event.

yeah from the start this whole story has been more trouble than point scoring could be lol I’m just a promotion-specific reporter that tends their little plot of earth telling the big farm that they shouldn’t trust that brand of hay and being ignored for seven months.

It's really dumb to think the only way people should feel about it is indifference because you personally don't care. Like I said it can both be just wrestling and something that's important in the wrestling. Dave considers himself a historian and journalist, sorry that people expect him to act like one.

And this isn't a promotion that is a random niche indie, it's the second biggest promotion in Japan.

It’s equally dumb to think everyone should care as much as you do, imo.

This isn't the wider public consciousness this is a wrestling newsletter, the most prominent one that claims to cover the industry and constantly brags about how Frank Deford said he was the best.

What promotion won Best Promotion in the Observer Awards every year from 2012-2019 and do you think Dragongate is smaller than that promotion was in 2012?

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
My favorite part of the apology was that Dave never said what he got wrong or really what the story was, just that he got fooled by two trolls. A classic Dave-ism when it comes to the news and Bryan was in no mood to stop him and actually get him to say what the story was or what the story actually should be. Maybe one of the few times I actually wish Garrett had been on there because Garrett would have been like "Ok, so for the people who don't know..."

I guess I'll have to wait for the newsletter to see if he really goes into detail.
