SorceressKnight Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 2 minutes ago, Ryan said: Corporate directives to talent wouldn't be that surprising. How likely is it this is a corporate directive to pile on Meltzer? Considering that Peyton Royce was the first one to go after Lio Rush for his idiotic Tweet before the rest of the roster tried to set him straight (and when it happened, it was said the IIconics were two of the leaders in the women's locker room), and considering how when they got the callup, a lot of the roster was celebrating that it happened- this seems like the most likely aspect would be "Peyton is very popular in the locker room and most of these wrestlers are trying to defend their friend" instead of "Vince McBoogeyman is telling the poor WWE wrestlers to gang up on innocent old Dave Meltzer because they hate fans." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t necessarily say that WWE told them to do it but I do think some people had agendas here. They already had a bone to pick with Dave and this was their chance to pounce. This is coming from that who doesn’t even like Dave very much and one of my favorite wrestlers (Rollins) went after him but I really think this is the case.

Ryan Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I never said that is what happened, just that it wouldn't be surprising. Your alternative is just a plausible and probably more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like fluffy bunnies and puppies and kittens. Come at me! *shrug* You're welcome to be attracted to whomever you want. I'm not sure who's arguing against that.

Casey Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Not THE bone, but I've read WWE seems to think Meltzer and his business had a hand in helping ROH/NJPW sell out MSG and they aren't too happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I didn't realize Tye Dillenger was 37. So he was a "different person" when he was 31-years old making rape jokes. Okay, maybe he is a different person. So maybe he will be forgiving as he wants others to be for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I'm not trying to body shame anyone here and I don't want to start an SJW pile on. I'm just saying that monitor is hella heavy-looking and thick in a not pleasing way and seeing it is making me depressed to think that was probably the monitor he was talking into for the Eyada show. this weird thing is happening where a cultural shift is so rapid that a bunch of people, including myself, are suddenly dinosaurs and they aren't ready for it and they aren't old enough to be retired yet and they keep stumbling into tar pits. Maybe 1964-69 was the last time that happened. But one of Dave's biggest problems here is that he has internalized the logic and voice of "the business" (or really at this point just "Vince") that he sometimes gives "opinions" that are actually just him going through the motions of reading Vince's mind. I can fully believe that when he says the words "I don't like how she looks right now" what it actually means is "Vince probably doesn't like the way she looks right now" and even Dave doesn't know the difference anymore. The sad thing is that he has absorbed the thoughtless and lazy logic of "the business" and adopted it's bizarre ideas as simple facts. It makes him as predictable and clumsy as the industry he's supposed to be casting a critical eye on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The last three pages could form a strong basis for 'The Internet, a play.' The first scene I wrote goes something like this: "Say you're sorry! Come on, say it! Just fucking say it!" "I'm sorry!" "Yeah right! What a non apology!" 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source? I'm not doubting you, but I've not seen anything about that. If anything, that just reeks of self-aggrandizing from Alvarez and his team.

I mean if it's 36 minutes of "sorry everyone I actually would still fuck Peyton, happy to set the record straight" then why would it be enough, the issue is with the quality of his apology not how epic in length it is if his first tweet had just been "sorry yeah I fucked up, I'll do better next time" it'd probably be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHFP Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I'm surprised that anyone keeps their old tweets up. Especially since there's many apps and sites to quickly delete. Actually is there a way to quickly delete old DVDVR posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's semantics, but I remember reading about that in the mid 2000s, like '06 or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
