>>18379538The actual real problem is wrestling fans don't understand what journalism even is. Journalist does not mean New York Times writer with a team of spellcheckers and editors. It means a guy who reports news in a fucking journal. The journal can be a show, a magazine, a newspaper, radio, or a newsletter Even with that level of resources that The New York Times has, typos slip through into "The Paper of Record" in almost every issue. Wrestling isn't a scripted show or a sporting event, it's theater. Think of it this way, A movie is bad or good as a whole because it is the sum of its parts. Wrestling and Theater are not the sum of their parts. Hamlet can be a great play, and your local theater can fuck it up, and put on a terrible terrible objectively bad version of Hamlet. Where people fail at the basics of theater and the production is held back by it. The same can happen in wrestling. Everything can be great on paper, and fall apart on execution.
Also, are his sources lying to him, or does he simply not have them? These goalposts seem to move around a lot when people who don't read the observer or listen to the radio show start talking.
Dave will maintain his role in the community until someone does a better job. So far everyone else who has tried to do a better job either gives up and ends up working directly for WWE, or makes some retarded mistake like tweeting their sexts to their girlfriend. And those two guys had pretty flashy websites, but they still weren't writing or talking as much as Dave does every week. If replacing Dave was easy, someone would have already done it. Speculate that he's broke all you want, the Observer has been pure profit since at least 1984.
