>>10216849>I think it's the smarks who turned the star ratings into a thing, meltzer still does recognize who is and isnt a drawThe problem is Meltzer leans into the smark shit and perpetuates it so that any thoughts he has on who is an "actual draw" is moot. Who cares? It's like running propaganda and then suddenly going "But here's the real truth now." Its disingenuous. And he does it with other things. His obsession with demos and ratings, when he doesnt know shit, using an outdated system was another example of this. Someone trying to create talking points is one thing, but then you cant have it both ways. No one looks at Skip Bayless as some source for objectivity right?
>>10216872>I do think there is a business side of wrestling where there's the potential objectivityThere might be but man it is super thin. It's super difficult to be objective about pre-scripted fights, and present some sort of discussion that way. I agree its possible but people like Meltzer and every other wrestling "journo" out there is not it. You ironically need a real journalist. All these people are fans who just want to hang out with their fav wrestler and make a bit of money lying for them.
