Paid Members martyngnr Posted August 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2018 Meltzer has been critical of loads of the male wrestlers in the past too. I'm sure I remember him piling into HHH big time when he was carrying the flab. That isn't the point though. Dave is out of order, context or not. Using the Saudi example doesn't really carry much water because we all know WWE (and Vince) are a fairly scummy organization that will do anything for cash. I'm more uncomfortable with people like Seth Rollins taking the high ground over it who will then happily work alongside Randy Orton for example, but at least he got lots of likes and retweets and was able to feel very smug about it.

Everyone knows wrestlers are cunts, but also everyone who has listened to Meltzer for more than 5 minutes over the last 20 years knows he's misogynist oddball. Whilst I think everybody will agree he’s an oddball I’m not too sure about “misogynist”. At least in terms of Pro Wrestling there are very few people who’ve publicly praised women’s matches and workers more than Dave Meltzer (well, the ones deserving of praise).

A wrestlers look is fair game, a wrestlers looks aren't. If you are a Sexy Boy, a dog faced gremlin, or a model, then it's part of your look. And yes they are totally allowed to have an opinion on anything, just expect that opinion to be challenged when aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is nothing new for Meltzer if i remember correctly. he hates women in wrestling,or at least did for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Meltzer just doesn’t understand how to act like a normal human. I bet while typing those apologies he was even doing the Zuckerberg pretend water sip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
