Which makes his oft used retort, “reading would be your friend” so ironic. The only difference between Cornette and Meltzer from the above passage is the latter’s incapability to string a sentence together at all. Yet, with respect, were that the case he’d be working somewhere as opposed to being an errant critic incapable of stringing successive thoughts together without a ‘whatever the f–k.'” He undercuts it, he undermines it and he sews discontent, discord and dissent through the way he communicates with others directly in or outside the wrestling business as though he were an absolute authority. “Yet, as it’s clearer each day he’s incapable of doing that to the detriment of one of the few things he purports to care about.

He’s entitled to his opinion, but also as a known public figure in wrestling he additionally abuses his platform to spread deconstructive messaging about companies, people and the business as a whole derived from his narrow, outdated idea of what wrestling is or how to communicate those ideas constructively. “He’s also someone who devoutly believes what he does and downtalks all contrary opinions as though you’re an idiot for thinking anything other than what he thinks. A passage that, while certainly apt for Cornette, is also fitting for another: However, there was a particular passage that stood out to me the most from the article. This was a hotly contested piece, but one I do agree with our “Between The Flips & Fists” columnist, what with Cornette’s perpetual descent into disgrace. Just last week, my Wrestling Headlines colleague, Andrew Ardizzi, posited that the wrestling business doesn’t need Jim Cornette. With that in mind, an argument can be made that Meltzer holds a significant amount of responsibility for the toxicity that plagues wrestling fandom today. To the point that the divide among wrestling fans has never been more glaring. The vitriol and blind faith Meltzer has instilled in his followers has went up several notches since the conception and growth of AEW. That goes for the several news outlets who cover him verbatim, might I add.
In some cases, as it pertains to his scoops, it is baseless, and therefore potentially damaging, so vehement is his support in reinforcing his echo chamber’s structural integrity. His opinion of what wrestling is supposed to be (and not) – objective fact. Yet, in the eyes of some of the Internet Wrestling Community’s more hardcore, Meltzer is infallible. An air of one who can do no wrong, and anyone who dares fall out with that mind-set is the one who is wrong. The same “I’m smarter than you” attitude. As his Wrestling Observer Newsletter, message board posts, and podcast appearances all house the same…well… bizarreness. The behaviour is not limited to his social media either. One, if said in public and in company, would elicit awkward silence at best, calls of insensitivity at worst. But if that is indeed the case, it is at the very least an eyebrow raiser. I imagine the tongue was firmly in his cheek with this particular example (instead of wrapped around his face mid-cackle). The above tweet is one of many passive aggressive, meandering, contextless posts he publishes on a daily basis.
A well respected journalist, at that, several claim. These are the recent words of everybody’s favourite wrestling journalist, Dave Meltzer.
