>>11942601>because no other "journalist" has as much influence on the style of wrestling being done in the industryThis is so fucking retarded, Meltzer had nothing to do with the rise of PWG and the PWG clique, which led to AEW, they did that 100% on their own.
The only person who maybe benefited from Meltzer's star ratings is Omega, and that had less to do with the star ratings themselves and more to do with the ensuing spergout from morons like you over it, which artificially made those ratings more important than they had ever been. Up until that Okada-Omega series, no one gave a shit about Meltzer's star ratings, there was the joke about "would have been 5 stars in the Tokyo Dome" because New Japan was the only promotion getting 5 star matches at that point but that was it. There were no absurd and delusional accusations by even marks that Meltzer was somehow influencing the style of wrestling, and the fact that Corgan has stooped this low and sees Meltzer as some kind of boogeyman who is holding back his company from being successful, is fucking pathetic.
If this dipshit watched that fucking EC3 vs. Tyrus bull rope match and couldn't understand why his company is running bingo halls, he's beyond saving.
