The problem with journalism in general these days and Meltzer in particular is it's more opinion presented as fact rather than facts presented without bias.
He practically gave himself a Pulitzer for his reporting about Mauro Ranallo leaving WWE blaming it on JBL despite Ranallo himself saying JBL had nothing to do with it. The stretching he did to make it sound like Ranallo was being bullied despite them bending over backwards to accommodate him. They added Young Boy Tom to the desk to do the plugs he couldn't get through but Jerry Lawler called him good ol' M.R. so that was clearly Vince's way of calling him a mental retard on the air. What were they implying about Jim Ross for all those years?
Whenever he corrects numbers he'll issue a correction but if he ever references it again, he'll go back to his original incorrect numbers.

They can do Jericho/Rhodes in the middle of the card and do a run-in heavy Dusty finish with Cody winning and then reverse the decision later before the YB/PnP to help build towards the Match Beyond.
Moxley's never going to be in title contention if all his matches are unsanctioned.

Fuck all these champion 3-ways. Give me Team SmackDown's The Big Dog, D-Brine, Braun Strowman, and Heavy Machinery vs. Keith Lee and the Lollipop Guild of NXT. Teams of five strive to SURVIVE!

Marseglia attacked his Kingdom stablemate and bloodied him with an axe.
Taven tried to get up, but Marseglia hit him with the axe again.
Oh shit, they killed Matt Taven?
QuoteAfter an advertisement played, ROH staff was helping Taven up in the ring. He wiped blood off of his head and went to the back.
Never mind. He got better.

It was the talent's fault though. You got a bunch of wrestlers who think everything's a work to begin with and then they freak out and start passive aggressively doing what they do and now the regular marks are working themselves into a shoot. Bunch of fucking marks all around. 3 planes left with no problem. The charter for the SmackDown crew also left with no problem. Maybe the real explanation is the plane don't work.
I was once stuck in MIA for 8 hours with no real explanation or apologies from American. 2 hours were on the tarmac. Captain gets on the horn and says we're just waiting to get in line for takeoff. Plane after plane just rolls past us. Then the lights go out and the oxygen masks drop and he gets on the mic and says we're going to get taxied back to the gate and de-plane for a while. So after like 3 more hours they tell us the part they need won't be available until tomorrow but they're waiting on another plane to get here. That plane gets here and then they tell us they have to vacuum it. Another hour passes and they're going to get another plane and then that plane finally arrives and we finally take off. This was a 6 AM flight and I didn''t get in the air until 1 PM and this was before smartphones and I didn't have a cellphone and my dad waiting for me at ATL sure as hell didn't have one and there was no Twitter for me to tell American to eat a dick.
I was listening to the classic Steve Austin Show with Dutch Mantell and he was talking about guys complaining about having to rent a car. Bunch of spoiled crybabies nowadays. Guys are just stealing money. If you're big WrestleMania moment every year is getting tossed over the top rope during the pre-show and you're just now figuring out that you're not a top priority then that's your fault not the company.

Remember when Sami and Bayley were slotted as can't-miss babyfaces for a generation of friendly millennials?
I remember people saying this and thinking they were insane cause to normal people Sami Zayn and Bayley are just weird dorks.

I'm pretty sure I've heard Jim Ross go on one of his old man steam of consciousness rants about Jungle Boy's name before. He was all, "Jack Perry. Jungle Jack. Jungle Boy? He's a grown-ass man, bah-gawd. His daddy's the late Luke Perry. He's the man of the house now. Time to be a man. Jungle Boy. Mah boy. Look at your precious curls. Time to grow up and grow some curls on his jungle balls. Jungle Boy. I'm just a Jungle Boy. Jungle Boyyy. Hrm, sassafras."

Stunt in a dinosaur costume sounds like the Dino-Mite mascot that Cody wants. You give him a big fanny pack full of t-shirts to toss at the marks on the way to the ring.

Why doesn't Rollins just go to the Bray community and burn his house down? Worked for Orton. Sort of.

The only Galoobs I owned were that Sting and bald spot Arn.
When my mom saw that Arn's bald spot she said "That wasn't very nice of them to make him like that."
Festus sitting in the locker room looking depressed staring at his first figure. Arn walks in and looks at it. "Yeah, they did me dirty like that too, son."

Santana and Ortiz are misdirection. The Warlord and Dos Caras have to be Jericho's partners. WAR, baby!

He's not kay fabing like he used to. It was good. Some stuff I'd never heard before. Not really looking forward to hearing him do Blue Chew spots though. This one was funny cause he did a voice and wasn't really plugging it but it's going to be weird hearing that disingenuous shit coming from him like the other shameless shill hosts.

"Where's the beef?" was pretty legit. I still have no idea who Herb was. The same WrestleMania with two burger chain characters.
Vince was like 40 back then and still had his finger on the pulse of pop culture. I can't imagine if he was 40 today and having to watch Tik Tok videos and scan Instahoe pages looking for what passes for a celebrity in 2019. "Bootycutie69 is here and she's living her best life at WrestleMania!"

Hey don't worry everyone I am sure that the people doing the Twitch shows will be able to adjust to TV work fine
I assume that the people doing the live Impact Plus+ were part of the group that left with Sullivan. that was generally okay production wise although quite indie looking
I don't think so. Sullivan's company handled post-production and video package-type stuff. I think the live stuff is whatever locals they can get to string some tin cans and wire together and duct tape it to an iMac.
They should've seen this coming though. Especially, when Keith Mitchell jumped to AEW the day of one of their PPVs.
IMPACT's live presentation has pretty much looked like shit since Anthem's taken over. They shoot it and light it like ROH. The hard-cam pointed at an empty stage, the handhelds shooting into the lights. It's awful. Plus, pretty much every live show has audio issues to start. They should've had all these issues worked out by now.

COWARDS! Foolish cowards at that. If you aren't going to go to war with anyone then Thursday's the night so they can advertise their Plus shows on Fridays, the Twitch shows on Saturdays, and the PPVs on Sundays. Not to mention better ad sales for weekend-type events like movies, concerts, and dick pills.

It's funny how they want records like real sports but they crown the champions in the most nonsensical way possible. Lousy gimmick battle royals filled with people who have no business being in title matches to crown half of the singles matches and a tournament where a team wrestles a bunch of matches to get a bye and another team is going to get in via popularity contest for the tag titles. I still don't understand why they're in such a rush to crown champions when they've got a year's worth of TV to fill. Bunch of belt marks.

Big Dog vs. Big Red for the Big Dog Championship is one of the only fresh matches and they're going into it with some heat behind it.
Flair/Bayley and Styles/Alexander should be good too with the crowd reactions cause they're in Charlotte.

The monkey tail.
And if pitchers hit in the AL, a completely valid reason to throw at him. Pretty sure that's an unwritten rule.
-
Bellator already ran Stud Stable vs. Hobo Army. Blew the feud off in the first match with a squash. A cage match at that. Without even building up any heat first. Terrible booking.

Josh Mathews: "I was embarrassed by the name 'TNA'. Go back and watch. I would never say it."
Also, Josh Mathews: "It's Joey Ryan vs. Billy Gunn! This one's 'Touch It' versus 'Suck It'!"
Has Ryan's divorce been finalized? I'd imagine that's the real reason he hasn't already signed with AEW.

The worst part of all this brand superiority bullshit is there's no team unity. You can't get any good coked-up pre-match interviews with all the guys hollering nonsense over each other. Like Roman Reigns ain't gonna howl like a dog if he's standing next to King Corbin.
