>>18765534>>18765567>>18765574>>18765578Regretfully, his line of thinking is perfectly accurate in this instant. Is it a leap? Yeah absolutely. Really though, look at Meltzer and look at Tony.
Tony is a money mark, everyone knows this, everyone. He has a good heart, but he is utterly clueless. He is a nepobaby.
Meltzer is the old guard, someone that has followed wrestling his entire life. His room was literally hoarded with clippings and papers and reports of decades of wrestling history.
Meltzer unfortunately has not aged with the time. At one point, he cared about ring psychology, but every single high flying match with zero purpose in AEW is 5 stars. He gave out almost no 5 stars previously, but the matches he did give them to were not technical masterpieces, they were technically great, but the story, the purpose is the glue of the match. That's why 5 stars were so rare, but lucha matches rarely ever reach his 5 star credit.
Now though, he hands them out like candy, and hands them out like candy to AEW. A company that has not had hardly any compelling story lines, but features high flying flips. Something a money mark might think is what defines pro wrestling.
Dave is a relic of the past, used to boost AEW now. That somehow have the seal of approval of a formerly well respected critic is something he'd highly desire, but look at the guy, he couldn't figure out Microsoft Word. He lives in a hoarded apartment. He and his co-host can't even hold a coherent conversation sometimes on his podcast.
People laughed at Biden and how mentally gone he was. Can a more left leaning company like AEW STILL not see the mental decay in Meltzer? Look at what 5 stars then and look at what 5 stars is now. Is makes perfect sense why a money mark who loves deeply the legacy of wrestling, someone who would do a presentation for a Japanese wrestler who passed who never knew his name, trying to honor legacies, but he's a nepobaby who doesn't know how to run a company.
