Dave Meltzer is like one of those fake fortune tellers. He gives the most vague predictions and descriptions of things so that when just the slightest things come true due to odds, predicitive algorithms and common sense he seems like he knows what he's talking about when in reality he's wrong at least 60% of the time.

Hes wrong about 85% of the time. The only time he is right is when its so ing obvious everyone else got it right first.

Bingo. I've no doubt he has sources of questionable veracity feeding him his material, but so much of his "insight" comes off like a cold-read medium. "The plan right now is for John Cena to possibly appear in some capacity at WrestleMania. He's still a productive merchandise driver and a draw for a segment of the audience, so there's obviously going to be a spot for him, assuming he's ready, willing, and able. Plans, of course, uh, could change, and so we do have to account for the possibility that John Cena may not appear in some capacity at WrestleMania." Take it to the bank - come April 7, I can't be wrong.

It's really no wonder wrestlers hate them and feed them fake news.

Are you a paid subscriber to the Observer? Dave never said any of that, excluding him saying in an issue late last year that AH going to Raw would make sense once he lost the belt to freshen up his list of opponents. But let’s not let facts get in the way of a dead horse. Im not a mark for Dave, he’s someone I pay to read but that’s not because he’s a someone I’m a fan of. It’s because I enjoy and respect the history of the business. When The Rock, Batista, Flair, and Bruno put you over that’s good enough for me. Lmao hell no I'm not paying for his crap news. Plans changed with my wallet word is funds will be debuting tonight during raw. If you're not actually reading Dave's work then you should keep his name out of your mouth. You have zero right to have an opinion on something you know nothing about. He also didn’t report Mabel as 3rd man only he was in consideration for an NWO role. He doesn’t just pull stuff out of thin air, people at wcw aka Terry taylor and Kevin Sullivan would tell him things. Two credible sources in journalism means something is a go. The show drew poorly in dollar amount as many tickets were on sale as 2 for 1 or on holiday discounts on walk up. Gate way lower than any msg Christmas house show in sixteen years. 2 for 1 thing is interesting. Didn't know that. Do you listen to Prichard's podcast? As someone in the podcasting industry, I listen to all of Conrad's work, he's one of my mentors. If we're talking about a Meltzer mark Conrad would be one. People in positions of power in wrestling like Prichard, Bischoff, and to a lesser extent Schiavone don't like Dave because Dave spoiled stuff that was supposed to be a surprise. Politicians across both parties hate the media. Bruce & Bischoff have often skirted around the truth a lot on their shows. With all due respect to both, particularly Bruce who has been a big help, a lot of it is schtick and has been admitted to as such.

Except I have read Dave's work, and he did say roman and aj were swapping brands, he did say Dana Brooke was getting a push, and he does constantly say punk is returning. The man's a joke, and so is anyone who aspires to be like him, and people that pay for his "news" need babysitters so that they can't waste their damn money.

As someone in the business I pay for news I know is accurate. You've now twice referenced nonsense without actually showing any proof of fact. We call that grandstanding. Show me an article, a screen shot, something. Otherwise you continually look more agenda driven.

While anyone can have a podcast, not everyone is getting paid to show up to a building to commentate or manage. But what do I know, I just host a podcast and read posts from a guy with Jim Cornette in his profile pic dumping on Meltzer(who Jim loves). These kids need educated.
