All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Even Dave's favorites laugh about it. Ospreay pretty much shit all over him for giving Will dozens of 5*+ matches while maintaining that Kurt never had one.

It's almost as if in the past few years Dave's got a new amp.

... Nobody said it was.

The rating is a joke.

Yes, but people act like these ratings mean more than just 1 mans opinion. That is the point GKJ is making.

"2 or 3/5 Classless Meltzers" should be the meme on this board for his stuff.

You routinely cite him.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Critics react to it like it is an award is the point.

Nah, critics make fun of the inconsistency and the lack of serious behind the rating.

Meltzer acts as if he has a method. He is just rating matches as he likes them. That's fine, but he should stop acting as if his ratings have any seriousness.

They do do that too, but he constantly responds exactly the same way as this.

Things I found out right now: Apollo Crews is married to a Finnish woman and was in Finland on Saturday:



His wife is a former basketball player and used to play for the home team, who play in the top women's league in Finland. So as we say in Finland: TORILLE!

No link, but based on the commercial that just aired during Raw, Sportsnet in Canada is going to be airing TNA now.

Premium Live Events will be on Netflix. No extra fee, once again making the term "pay-per-view" obsolete.

The terms " Premium Live Event " and WWE Universe should also be made obsolete.

Not until 2026 in the US

Royale Rumble makes sense. Males one night and females another night.

It also gives a chance to throw three other matches on each night. That would take at least 12 total wrestlers out of the Rumble. With how deep the rosters are now they have too much talent for a rumble. Between Raw roster, smackdown roster, NXT roster, retired wrestlers one off returns and any potential TNA wrestlers.

My 2 cents is they should completely separate them. Have the male one in January and make the female one in The Summer setting up the Summerslam main event

As a firm believer of The law of diminishing returns having 2 rumbles so close even if it's 1 day apart sort of hurts both of them

Makes sense for MITB and War Games too IMO

Would give room for people to work twice in the weekend if they’re in the rumble.
