He spends his entire life analyzing staged performances. It’s a prime example of a 'zero-value' career path, the only real output is monetizing a niche audience through subscriptions. It’s less of a talent and more of a grift.
>>
>>20147771
you're mad because he does exactly what you do, except he gets paid and you do it FOR FREE
>>
the better you are, the madder they get
>>
>>20147771
He's got immense autistic knowledge about the sport. There's value in that. It's just a shame he wastes his time shilling one promotion nonstop.
>>
>>20147777
When you see someone as autistic as Dave, it's hard not to make fun of them
>>
>>20147777
can't dispute those digits
>>
>>20147771
I don't like him, but money spends the same regardless of how you got it. It's better to have more of it than less of it.
>>
>>20147771
kek exactly this. like people that review movies or plays lol. such staged performances. you can tell it’s all fake.
>>
>>20147841
well I guess that explains why you're constantly being made fun of
>>
>>20147856
I'm not Dave thankfully
>>
>>20147860
Me neither

wink
>>
Do you feel this way about every single critic and inspector job?
>>
>>20147771
this is less of a real person talking, and more of a slop chatgpt output. were you really so incapable of making this oh so compelling observation yourself that you had to outsource it to ai?
>>
>>20147901
you sound like someone who doesn't want to admit he was grifted by a grifter
>>
>>20147788
He doesn't even know how to break numbers properly.
>>
>>20147860
No, you're much more pathetic.
>>
wrestling is zero-value
>>
>>20147945
Sorry someone not simping for Dave broke your brain
>>
>>20147958
I accept your full and unconditional surrender.
>>
>>20147963
Accept that simp for Dave because you're not coming back from that lol
>>
>>20147963
>bow down to Dave, admit he knows what he is talking about. Please do it for me. I'm autistic just like him and differing opinions make me melt down
Nah I'm sorry bro, you are just going to have to have your tantrum. Try not to smash your keyboard, Mommy won't buy you a new one this time.
>>
>>20147971

everything's gonna be ok lil bro, just put the fries in the bag

LMAOOOOOO
>>
>>20147980
>the guy who gets autism bucks and lives vicariously through Dave and Tony is telling other people to do better
Sorry man, I wish I could live off other people's hard work like you and Dave but the fact I still make six figures through honest work is good enough for me

Why are you bragging about what another man has in his pockets? That's sus behavior, ya little faggot bitch
>>
>>20147771
He's just a bad and uninsightful critic. There are people who analyze every entertainment medium, even other stupid ones like video games and comic books. Some have an interesting perspective on their subject and others don't.
Wrestling fans, however (with Dave himself being arguably the worst offender), are the only fans too autistic to understand the function of criticism and analysis. Which is why they talk like the Indian tech and finance bros who aggressively filter everything through pedestrian retard level "market value" takes like the OP and are routinely shocked that no one comes forward with new ideas anymore.
>>
>>20148034
There’s a reason people call them a cult. All they’re missing now are the matching outfits
>>
>>20147775
>He does it for Freetzer

The Meltzer simp got eviserated in this thread. Hopefully killed himself too.
>>
>>20148960
No I just realized that you're that fat samefagging retard with no life and I had better things to do than argue with you.
>>
>>20149044
it was better for you not to respond. Every new response buried you more. Go cry yourself to sleep over the fact that your life is meaningless and everyone makes fun of the people you were stupid enough to respect the most

The match reviews are a tiny part of the very large mini book size newsletter he has pumped out for decades by himself. There's nothing like it done by one person. Not just for wrestling, but other sports, music, whatever. Wade Keller has done a good newsletter for years, but it's much smaller and what one would expect for a normal newsletter versus Dave's autistic obsession. Dave's star ratings were a way to quickly recommend matches to tape traders. Newer fans take them way too seriously for some reason.

Honestly, I think it's our fault as a fandom that we've gone decades letting one man be the sole critic of matches just cause he had the most subscribers to his gossip rag.
>>
>>20149293
that was a based spot and match though
>>
>>20149293
Wade Keller has been reviewing matches since 1987 and is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Diamond Dallas Page actually called him once to complain. Meltzer has always been more known than Keller, but the Meltzer haters have ironically increased that gap.

Wade talking about star ratings in the 80s : https://m.youtube.com/shorts/nCbv_nDyb7M

>>20149378
Keller is an informed mark, Dave is a journalist. There's a huge difference.

Dave only praises Wade and has said Wade's coverage of the steroid trial was better than his own.
>>
>>20149427
I think everyone's coverage was better than Meltzer's the guy has a cottonmouth
>>
>>20149068
LOL

the observer is a trade magazine not a humanities journal, you ungodly boring faggot

Only line that matters, wrestling will never evolve because everyone involved is an autistic dumbass

If everyone hates Dave Meltzer why hasn't anybody "Joey Janela'd" his ass?

I'd sucker punch him at the airport. Which is my right to do as I paid for AEW Fast TV for 12 months and he gets 3% of that.
>>
>>20149293
the DVDVR/PWO type guys tried to go in a different direction, but that died off and the ones who are still around just post about 1950s French wrestling on Twitter
>>
>>20149805
those guys are infinitely more autistic than Dave with literally none of Dave’s autistic charm. Literal subhuman obese smarks
>>
>>20149784
>fly to San Jose Commiefornia

>got to one of their 29 prisons known for extreme gang violence
yeah I'm good

When Shahid Khan goes to prison, I finna get myself thrown into his cell block. You ever suck dick like a cell bitch?

Funny thing is that Meltzer could one day turn on AEW and all the time he wasted simping for Dave will be washed away.
>>
>>20151318
Dave routinely gets worked by literal who twitter accounts with less than 20 followers. He got worked a post from this board for fucks sake. What are you on about?
>>
>>20147771
Yeah very true
>>
>>20147771
More like negative-value. Watching wrestling is far more enjoyable if you have no idea who he is or his gay star ratings.

Big Dave ain't jobbing to you jbrons
>>
>>20154828
Dave jobs to twitter all the time, which is basically just us through an intermediary.

Fatty seething Meltz gets pussy and goes to whatever shows he wants
>>
>>20152790
meltz writes in a broken khazar language. only fellow gnomes agree with him.
>>
>>20147771
Film critics are just as worthless if you're looking at society pragmatically. Who cares
>>
>>20154838
It is when you reply from a place of seethe which is all Dave does.
>>
>>20147771
>Zero value
Why y'all letting him live rent free in your head? Reminder that WWE tried to buy him multiple times (like they did for ESPN) and he had the balls to say no
>>

>jew said no to money
Pull the other one

>>20154660
We don't post our internal monologue here.

>>20155445
Shitwheels is just big mad because he's been a WON subscriber for literal decades. God knows how many thousands of euros in Irish welfare money he has funnelled directly to Dave Meltzer via subscription fees.
