Christ wasn’t all that in the ring. But he got the crucifix over, I’ll say that for him.

Would have liked to see him feud with Nailz.

 Never got a tag run with Shawn Michaels like his dad did, either.

For anyone who has yet to see Dave’s totally normal office. What a nice, calm, relaxing place to work.

[Factotum]

He's probably done that on purpose as he read in a book that a writer should have a lot of paper around.

I kind of like that he hasn’t thought “oh, there’s a camera crew coming round, better have a tidy up”. 
He’s kind of person who would appear on one of those hoarding shows saying “but why would I clean it up, I know where everything is this way”

I also love the little fire extinguisher, just in case there is a loose spark and the room goes up in flames

The crew on dark side said he knew where everything was.

Part of me thinks it's a gimmick, and that he doesn't even work in that room, just keeps it like that for the cameras. The rest of me thinks he's one of the strangest men in the world, so probably not.

He's got aspergers, right? OCD, overly literal, trouble making eye contact etc. It's that or something else. 

Whatever the case, he is an incredibly strange man and his newsletter can be a total chore at times. He has a true gift for saying saying little of consequences but taking tens of thousands of words to say it.

I'm no Meltzer hater, in fact i think he's very important for wrestling history, but my biggest problem is his absolute praise for anything Will Ospreay does. I honestly think he could be in a 5 minute squash and he will give it 4 stars and call it 'Phenomenal'. He refuses to accept any criticism for him, pretty much rubbished all the SO claims and last week even compared him to Randy Savage.

Does anyone recall how he reacted to the Ospreay/Ricochet pantomime with the duelling springboard backflip poses? Because that crap was worse than any “bad” match I ever saw. I’d take Corbin & Heidenreich vs The Beverly Brothers over watching that again.

According to Cagematch, WON gave it 4 & 3/4 Stars, so near perfect

Don't go giving Vince ideas for a Legion Of Doom reboot...

That's 2 1/4 stars short of perfection.
