I think Meltzer’s lost a lot of his sources. I’ve defended his reporting in the past, but it has lost of a lot of its meat since AEW has come around. I think his clear bias towards AEW has shut a few WWE doors (because who wants to break their necks for a guy who is going to overlook everything they do?) and AEW treats him as too much of a fan. He seems to discover stuff in real time like everyone else.
His criticism is just ridiculous at this point. And he’ll go to these weird places to defend things that even the most ardent AEW supporter will roll their eyes at. Just a random example: Comparing Marko Stunt to Rey Mysterio because they are both small, comparing Kenny Omega to Harley Race because they both did “too much” or comparing Will Ospreay to Terry Funk because he thinks they’re both great heels.

Honestly, I think it might have something to do with the Omega/Ospreay stuff. Omega seemed to get his feelings legitimately ruffled by Ospreay’s praise. It could have been a “I still love you” move from Dave.
Either that or he is just looking for the Cornette boost or he has actually lost his mind. The way Cornette spoke about him having a a breakdown sounded like it was supposed to skin, as opposed to just being an abstract criticism of the guy, and that’s the first time I noticed Corny do that.
