Over on WZ they have an article covering how the WWE is getting into the lotto game. You know, since kids love scratchers and whatnot. Interesting though how the article described the WWE which I'll assume the WWE approved:
About WWE
WWE, a publicly traded company (NYSE: WWE), is an integrated media organization and recognized leader in global entertainment. The Company consists of a portfolio of businesses that create and deliver original content 52 weeks a year to a global audience. WWE is committed to family-friendly entertainment on its television programming, premium live events, digital media and publishing platforms. WWE’s TV-PG programming can be seen in more than 900 million homes worldwide in 28 languages through world-class distribution partners including NBCUniversal, FOX Sports, BT Sport, Sony India and Rogers. The award-winning WWE Network includes all premium live events, scheduled programming and a massive video-on-demand library and is currently available in more than 180 countries. In the United States, NBCUniversal’s streaming service, Peacock, is the exclusive home to WWE Network.
Take a look at that description and tell me what word is missing, lol.
Vince plays 4d chess.

But I thought NOTHING Meltzer said could be trusted. Kinda sad, putting down others unless they happen to agree with you...

But I thought NOTHING Meltzer said could be trusted... It's hilarious when people actually think this. The guy definitely has sources in the locker room and knows what he's talking about. People get mad because he gets quoted out of context alot. They don't like it that he criticizes their favorites either. They also can't tell the difference between facts and his opinion.

I thought sports entertainment got invented in 2008 when WWE went PG and pushed Hornswoggle and Cena. Has WWE been sports entertainment this whole time? Was Savage-Steamboat sports entertainment? Was Stone Cold pouring cement in Vince’s car sports entertainment? Was WCW sports entertainment?? Goddammit, pal, there should be a checklist of what was and wasn’t.

Even what I hear from his show excerpts on YT, Dave takes a more defensive stance more often than not on subjects others shred about WWE lol What gets my goat is when some choose to shame anyone who introduces his reporting into a discussion. Nobody is dying on the hill for Meltzy, and I for one am willing to address inaccuracies when new info comes to light. But he is nontheless used as a strawman to promote the "anti-WWE bias" narrative and allow for behavior they see as "justified". You can say he pivots when something he says doesn't pan out and goes to a "plans changed" defense too often. But when ever are his critics held to account when they're proven wrong? Even come forward to say, "hey, my bad".

I wonder why he feels that wasn’t the case previous to 65 years ago.
