In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported on Dutch Mantell’s GoFundMe, and how Tony Khan donated in a big way. Chris Jericho also chipped in a lot of money, but then things took a turn.>“They had raised $64,200 with most of the top donors being anonymous and the largest known donors were Tony Khan at 1$5,000 and Chris Jericho at $1,500. With Khan, many have pointed out that Mantel as a podcaster was brutal to Khan, even being critical of him when the promotion was at its popularity peak, and recently criticized him for the contract terms Swerve Strickland got in his recent deal.”>“It is something when a former wrestler gets mad at a promoter who clearly can afford it for what he pays the top talent. And he was doing it after he knew the new deal was put together that was going to make the company exceedingly profitable. Wrestlers using the old school “he doesn’t draw money,” and not understanding that this isn’t a mom-and-pop week-to-week business based on live event numbers but one that in a worst-case scenario year would generate $250 million next year. And that most of that revenue is guaranteed ahead of time“Dutch Mantell’s co-host James posted a video response, and he wasn’t happy. >“I’m not, I’m done with this but using Dutch Mantell’s terrible health issues to score points in your own mind to further grind the axe it’s just the most pathetic weasly just sad sorry state of affairs where you’ve got to turn the human kindness of people donating to Dutch for a good cause which is basically his health and just how many people like him to the point that they’re willing to give him a bit of money to help with his dire financial needs is just it’s so pathetic.”>“And here’s some free advice for Tony Khan if he wants it. He needs to cut off Davemelzer completely don’t talk to him anymore just tell him to stop being such a cheerleader for a because the it’s it’s counterproductive for the company it really is.”
I don't care.
>>16235585Dutch Mantell has not passed away. He is battling
meltzer low balled how much they each donated and didn't mention the Cornettes were the two biggest donors
>>16235585Tony Khan and Dave Meltzer using Shad's money as a weapon is disgusting.
>>16235585Good to see people standing up to kikeltzer, he knows his reign of terror on the wrestlers business will die with aew
>>16235640/thread
>>16235640> cares enough to post in this thread and do the captcha You get no pussy my nigga
>>16235585The sooner that retarded Jew is run out of the business the better it will be
i took 2 minutes to look into this.mantell is a stupid old boomer who has gone against socialised healthcare his whole life and i hope he dies and his family end up losing their house.
>>16235714Nice selfie
>>16235722Care to extrapolate?
>>16235733>wah wah wah wah socialism communism wah wah wah>almost fucking dies and can't afford it>wah wah wah i got fucked by corporations give me free money wah wah wah
>>16235722Based fuck boomer chuds
>>16235722GoFundMe is not a government program. Dutch likely grew up in a world where it was completely acceptable for seniors to ask for help from their family, community, church, etc. If Dutch opposed "socialism" it was likely because that implies forcing people to help each other via taxation, not donation. GoFundMe is a just modern version of a direct way to ask your community for help.
>>16235822just think if poor Dutch was a felonious nigger his gofundme would have ended up in the millions. grim state of the USA
The TDS in this thread is palpable. Glad Tony doesn't have it. What a great guy.
>>16235822The idea is still the fucking same. He should've saved more or realized that healthcare is a joke. The fact that he HAS to pay 100K for medical shit in his 70s is nuts.
>>16235822>If Dutch opposed "socialism"I thought Dutch was a huge lefty? I remember him feuding with Glenn Beck back during the Jack Swagger We the Pe era.
>>16235937There's a difference between liberal capitalists and socialists, those groups don't get along well even if they both vote blue
>>16235585>Tony Khan gave Dutch a couple of thousand which means Tony is an amazing man considering Dutch spoke bad about his vanity fed and the way Tony blows money indiscriminatelyThis is how far Meltzer has gone, and people want to claim he isn't biased. First Tony giving Dutch a couple grand and being praised for it is like someone being praised for giving change to a homeless guy on the street. Tony has spent more on licensing a song for a dead act than it would cost to keep Dutch alive. It's retarded. Second Tony giving Dutch money for health reasons does not mean AEW is not run like shit, that Tony doesn't waste money, or that Tony is some fucking amazing paragon of sainthood. Meltzer can tell you the number of tickets sold in the Georgia Dome in 1982 but can't hold two thoughts in his head at the same time.
Why are people so mad that Dave have the journalistic integrity to call out blatant hypocrisy when he sees it?
>>16235585>in other news Dutch Mantell’s health is failing which reminds me of how successful AEW is and how shrewd of a businessman Tony khan isPretty fuckin incredible lmao
>>16235907The GoFundMe written by his daughter says he was smart with money. He would also be on Medicare as an American over 65, but that doesn't cover everything. No medical bill amount is given, but the daughter points out that someone needs to be with Dutch and his wife at all times, so the daughter does that and cannot work. Other seniors in similar situations just stop paying medical bills as the hospitals can't refuse treatment, or they just pay a little month. They're more concerned with heat, food and electricity..
>>16235722Kamala lost.Good luck with chopping your dick off.
>>16235996Georgia Dome wasn't around in 1982, brother
>>16235585>expecting an autist to have empathy>expecting a jewish autist to understand helping othersare you new?
>>16235585>>for a because the it’s it’sGOOOOOOD MORNING POOJEET
>>16235585i put james vid on earlier today and god damn did he shit on meltzer. accurate too
>>16235585BOOMER FIGHT BOOMER FIGHT
>>16235585>even being critical of himOH NO
>>16235687>The 80 year free trial is almost up dawg, that means we finna see even more horrific and abominable actions as the vile creatures affected lash out in anger, hate, and frustration
>>16236201Read.The. Room.
Dave wants you to die if you dislike the same wrestling as him is he /ourguy/?
How did Meltzer end up becoming this deranged?
>>16237181He must have changed in the past decade then because I remember him being pretty lefty in his response video to Glenn Beck.
Dave buries people when he writes their obituary and goes over their career. He only drops facts, he's not a pussey that will suddenly talk about how great someone is just because they're sick or dead.Podcast grifters go cry about it.
If I were Tony, not only would I not donate, I'd fire anyone on my roster that did.
>>16235585>meltzer gets BTFO>sliding doublesmany such cases
>>16235651He just died.
>>16235722You’re no spring chicken, Dave.
>>16235585It's just fucking funny to me when a guy who criticizes others for not drawing money needs donations to even stay alive. Moral of the story is that both Meltzer and Mantel are carny retards.
>>16235585Dave Meltzer has not donated to the GoFundMe and it must be because he wants Dutch to die
>>16235722>>16235739you should take more than 2 minutes then unless you just wanted to reaffirm yourself
>>16236316>>16236201>>16235887Dave will not give you free subscriptions to his shows for defending his honor.
>>16239979No but he might mind rape them when they listen to his propaganda
>Popular>wrestling>journalistKEK
>>16235585THEY WANT THIS ONE GONE
dave is such a piece of shit it is incredible
>>16241898Have a nice visit from the fbi lmao
>>16241917>WAAAAH HELP SAVE ME FEDS! I GOT TRIGGERED ON THE INTERNET!Why are recucklicans such pussy snowflakes? do words really make you cry? oh no no no
this nigga been grifting off AEW on his rinky dink podcast for YEAARs and he's still too broke to get health care LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>16242004turn your monitor on
>>16235668What do you expect from Meltzer? Journalistic integrity? lmao
>>16235722>gone against socialised healthcareWe cannot afford it kid.It is that simple and not repeating you have been taught to repeat will change that reality.
>>16235822Yeah but no one that does not want the government to manage the means of production should use it or something.
>>16235907Oh noes how dare people have to pay for goods and services!
>>16235722Sucks you gotta pay for your sex change. Maybe rethink this whole troon thing.
How can both his wife and him get Sepsis at the same time what the fuck are they eating or drinking?
>>16235640fpbpnever gonna catch me giving a flying fuck about what one dirtsheet retard is saying about another
>>16239354can't believe this is how I found out jeez
>cuckservative dies like a bitch after begging for money because he spent his whole life simping for billionaires so he couldn’t have free health careLMAOOOOOO
>>16235937Dutch is likely a middle of the road boomercon i.e. really into bootstraps and "don't need no government takin' my money".
>>16236201>Dave>journalistic integritythis is the same autist that would hide stories in the 80s so the WWF would be nice to him. Fucking Bruiser Brody of all people called Dave out for this and demanded he have some journalistic integrity.>what stories did uncle dave hide?Jake Roberts failing drug tests, which in the 80s means Jake did drugs on the way to take the test
>>16235722I agree in principle but everyone should have healthcare, even chuds. A mentally deranged superfan carrying a grudge over being proven wrong, taking a man's failing health as an excuse to grandstand is fucking disgusting. Meltzer always tries to find the stupidest people to argue with to make himself look smart and blocks anyone who proves him wrong. Dude is irredeemable. I don't like how Dutch sees the world but I don't think he should be denied healthcare because of it.
Dutch is based.
>>16235722Did you look into the bit where it says Mantell used over $90k of insurance before having to dip into savings?Socialised healthcare wouldn't make things more affordable. It would raise premiums and raise the floor so the masses can't afford it.Reduce the margins and lower the cost of service. That's how you fix American healthcare. A surgeon who sets bone fractures shouldn't be driving a Lamborghini.
>>16235585I honestly don't see how Dave is in the wrong here.
>>16235722>Against socialised healthcare>Became ill>Raised tens of thousands for his healthcare from charitable donationsAnd this is supposed to convince him he was wrong, yeah?
>>16243981it's his autism and if you don't realize how autistic his comments were then buddy....
>>16241354Retard like you talk about him non stop KWAB
>>16235585>Have a career>Be relatively famous in that career >Get sick>Either GoFundMe or dieIs this really the land of the free? Sounds like something that would happen in Philippines or some other third world shit hole
>>16243981thats because you are a fucking autistic robot like dave.
The only reason Americans think socialised healthcare would be more expensive is because they've never experienced it, this nigga could have got all this treatment for free
>>16244656You can't reason with a jigger
>>16244656>for freeListen, I'm a left wing British guy and even I know this is wrong.The NHS is free at point of delivery. It is not free for anyone. It costs £200bn a year
>>16244678You britbongians spend that in a month operating your joke of an aircraft carrier fleet that will be obliterated in the first hour of a war against China/Iran/Russia/North Korea
>>16244678When you compare UK tax to US health insurance, yes it's free, in the US you're looking at minimum $10,000 a year just for the basic insurance cost
>>16243840Sad that you actually believe this
>>16244643GOOD MORNING SIRS
>>16244656The United States has two of the biggest socialized healthcare programs in the world, Medicare and Medicaid. Because of his age, Dutch would also be receiving Social Security, another big socialist program in the USA. Health care system problems in the US go beyond how it's paid for because of various reasons, things like record obesity rates putting increased strain on the system don't help.Pic is federal budget. Each of the 50 state budgets typically have Medicaid as the highest expense.
