Anything that comes out of this fucking retards mouth needs to be immediately discarded. Meltzer is without doubt professional wrestling's greatest cancer.
Dave;s a retard, for sure. Unlike Cornette, who insists this is a new thing with Dave (mainly because they used to agree with each other for the most part), Dave's always been like this.
Dave, in the 80's via his newsletter, used to shit all over Bob Backlund. It went beyond not liking his wrestling style (he really didn't care much for the (W)WWF in general due their slower style and the lower level of "heat" their feuds usually had), but it seemed personal, he used to take personal jabs at the guy. As it turns out, at some point he had Superstar Billy Graham in his ear shit-talking Backlund. As such, Dave worships an absolute carny, and shitty worker (with a million dollar look) like Graham, and routinely trashes a guy like Backlund, who, some awkward mannerisms aside, actually made it possible to upgrade the quality of wrestling at the top of WWWF cards because he was an NWA styled wrestler rather than the "kick/stomp/resthold" chodes the fed had been infested with for most of its exsistence. And all of this...simply because Graham, after wearing out his welcome in wrestling due to his extreme flakiness, even by pro wrestling standards, gave Dave the time of day and would give him "scoops".
So Yeah, Dave is an absolute dishonest mong and tends to favor whomever will actually speak to him... but he's not what I would consider a cancer. Dave remains, accidentally, an effective gatekeeper in the wrestling "journalism" circles. I genuinely believe, if Dave and his like-minded cronies were not there, that part of wrestling would be infested by trannies... now that would be the real cancer to the business if those mentally ill sex pests were allowed to be the opinion makers of our fair sport.
