Merzbow Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 His other apology is worse. The Mr Kipling nob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 Meltzer has spent decades with his main sources in being Ric Flair, Jim Ross and Jim Cornette. It's obvious by his coverage his a misogynist twat. He's getting everything he deserves for that comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Dave's taking a hammering on twitter. Sure he could have said it differently, but this pile-on culture on social media is out of control. He said something shitty, he said sorry. Fucking hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTonetta Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Nah, you don't understand, He insulted her so we must all fake outrage!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 His "apology" was public, if it was sincere he could have contacted her directly, but no, he used his social media to show his followers what a decent guy he thinks he is. He deserves everything he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTonetta Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Oh give up, Christ. It was a stupid comment, He said sorry, that's it. End of. I don't agree with what he said, but hey, it was a silly comment, He said sorry, people would complain if he didn't say it publicly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he only said sorry because he got called out on it. I saw a good point that he is (rightly) getting pelters from wrestlers and whatnot, but would these wrestlers be calling him out if he wasn't a lowly dirt sheet journalist and someone who signs the cheques or was a locker room leader? If you're going to bat for a principle, it has to be every time. Otherwise it's a hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted August 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 Alvarez pushed Meltzer into saying Peyton was more attractive in NXT. Not defending Dave, because he’s an idiot who clearly doesn’t ever think before he speaks/tweets. But Alvarez egged that on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 On THE BOARD Meltzer tried to put the comments he made into the context of we always talk about male wrestlers looks and bodies in terms of if they might make it to a certain level if they've got the right look and that he was, badly, trying to apply that same sort of thinking to female performers, but admits he made a dumb comment because of the extra pressures on women in the business to look a certain way.

TheTonetta Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 WWE did a show in Saudi Arabia, a country where they treat women like dirt. They tried to honor a rapist at this year's Mania. But Dave Meltzer is the devil, Right?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltzer is an idiot and that, but it would have been nice if we got more of this when they hired Hulk "I'm racist" Hogan. Instead, we got some Titus O'Neil tip-toeing tweet that a couple of folk retweeted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 Meltzer deserves all the heat he is getting. However, I do find the moral high ground from the WWE talent to be questionable after having an event where the woman were unable to wrestle and Sami was unable to go to because of his religious beliefs. But money talks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
