@@Rjensen2 I don't think Meltzer changed so much as he became engrossed with Tony Khan and AEW. He just showed he's capable of being flattered into giving good reviews and opinions of a promotion and so showed what he really is. In other words, Bruce saw Dave for what he was before Corny and Brian did.

[@DanNJ316]

Bruce is totally wrong on the WM 32 attendance thing. Vince McMahon himself at one of their investors meetings said the attendance number they announced for the Dallas show was for "entertainment purposes." That didn't come from Dave Meltzer, it came from the owner of the company's mouth. Wrestling promotions have been announcing worked attendance figures for years, for Bruce to act like that's some absurd idea, he's the one with no credibility.

[@walterlevesque4879]

Yup. He's a wwe guy though.

[@joshuakillingsworth8366]

Link your source.... I own over 100 shares of WWE and receive every financial report released for each quater. During earning announcements they tell us specifically if anything is different than reported. They do not falsify numbers intentionally, especially to investors as you claim. If so quarter and semi annual audits turned over to the SEC would be flagged. You can view the 10K or 10Q reports sent to the SEC as they're public records. However if you can provide information to back up this claim I'd love to know.

[@thebutcherychannel5881]

Does the financial report you receive include how many people attended wrestlemania or just a dollar amount?

[@78bcat]

@@joshuakillingsworth8366 Just to back you up: Anybody pay attention to the Elon Musk/Twitter/teases going private? Elon was annoyed by short sellers, so he floated a complete BS tweet that he had the financing to go private and the stock spiked. That cost him $40 million. So Meltzer and his band of loons want us to believe Vince would risk a similar SEC action, just to say he sold a few thousand more tickets?

[@theungreatkahli]

He does have a tendency to suck up to Vince or apologize for the WWE's idiotic decisions sometimes.

[@walruswasrob]

Jim Cornette isn't smarter than Bruce, he's more willing to be HONEST than Bruce is. Bruce just wants to kiss Vince's ass. I'm convinced that he's just constantly trying to get Vince to see him out there defending everything that Vince has ever done in the history of ever in the hopes that Vince will give him another job.

Brian Last needs to learn that reporting is not taking info from an anonymous source and putting it out there as the gospel. A real reporter checks that info against other sources to see if it is credible. Meltzer only prints what fits his narrative. He is a mark for himself.

To all those saying Bruce is only towing the company line, Brian is towing the wrestling journalist line. Bruce was present for the Montreal stuff, none of you were, and Bruce is simply saying based on Dave’s extensive reporting on Montreal, which was factual but one sided because he only reported what Bret said, he doesn’t care much for his writing or reporting as it pertains to other things since it could be the same. It was biased which Bruce doesn’t care for. Yet Brian takes that to mean Bruce disagrees with wrestling journalism as a whole. Bruce isn’t saying that. Brian is jumping to that conclusion based on Bruce not caring for Dave Meltzer’s journalism. It’s annoying. And Brian chortles on about how much he knows about wrestling. Who cares?
