>>11477169It's things like this that made Dana White constantly no-sell Meltzer and basically run him out when he was desperately trying to be a "real MMA journalist" for those 5ish years.
Meltzer is far too biased to ever be a real reporter. Him and Cornette hate each now, but they're far more alike than either want to admit. If either like you, you can't do any wrong, and if they don't they'll twist everything or downplay or ignore it.
Meltzer can't take criticism of AEW, even on obvious cases, like it being shut down by now if it wasn't bankrolled by a billionaire who can lose as much as he wants, because he's a gigantic mark for the Bucks and in his mind saying that would be knocking his friends.
He did the same kind of shit with Flair in WCW, always pretending his was the big star, even when the NWO was around, just because he was a Flair mark and they got along.
Both him and Cornette are 60 year old man children still picking their favorite wrestlers and pretending to be journalists
