While speaking with Jon Pollock and Wei Ting on Post Wrestling, Dave Meltzer alluded to people on CM Punk's side who hypocritically accuse others of supposedly leaking to the dirt sheets, while themselves leaking copiously. These people "take advantage" of Meltzer not being able to reveal his sources, which would obviously expose them.
>Jon Pollock: The Narrative that has emerged on the Punk side is a lot of source-guessing, and it's really tough for someone in your position that you can't reveal that sort of thing
>Dave Meltzer: I wanna tell you something: I will never do it, but man, there are certain people...
>Dave Meltzer: There are certain people who take tremendous advantage of me, knowing that I wont...
>Dave Meltzer: People trying to push a narrative while being the exact opposite, so that is very frustrating...
The most outspoken person on Punk's side, who has consistently tried to publicly push a narrative to the point of starting a podcast, is FTR Bald (less well known as Dax Harwood). Bald has publicly accused people of leaking to Dave Meltzer in the past.
