While speaking on his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, Dutch Mantell addressed Dave Meltzer:
>>“Well, I try not to give anything Dave Meltzer writes any believability or credence, but that really kind of pissed me off. I think this actually speaks more to Tony Khan’s humanity than it does about me. Yes, I’ve been critical of him, but isn’t that my job—to come on here and talk about the business? I’ve said he needs more story and doesn’t just need to put matches together for 15 minutes with no apparent reason beyond having a ‘good match.’ I’ve seen acrobatics, gymnastics, and the greatest moves in the world; everyone has if you watch enough wrestling on TV. But I want to see a story. So, I’m doing my job, yet Meltzer says I blasted Tony, and that tells me more about him than it does about me."
>"Think about it: how many people has Meltzer knocked when they were at their lowest points? And sure, you can knock me, Dave, but you’re knocking my family now, and that’s crossing the line in almost any business. I almost died; my wife almost died. But you had to use that just to make a point that you don’t like me? So yes, I’ve said not-so-flattering things about Tony Khan, but Meltzer, you’ve done a lot worse because you’ve had this platform a lot longer than I have. I was just doing my job, and you pissed me off. I’m still recovering from what he said, and honestly, if I could, I’d walk up to him and just slap the dog s*** out of him. Not a punch, but a slap, because some things deserve a good, hard slapping. I’ve read Meltzer’s stuff, and I could criticize that too.”
