Jim Cornette Reviews Dave Meltzer & Bryan Alvarez Discussing AEW's Overrun

[@85futureshock]

Dave recently tried to take a shot at the Drew/Punk storyline because of the bracelet. That bracelet is drawing more ratings and contributing to full buildings while the 5 star chasers can’t even put 2000 people in a 16,000 arena in Champaign, IL.

Dave Meltzer is the type of guy that tries to rescue a sinking ship by tossing the excess water using a shot-glass out of the ship, Tony Khan tells everyone to grab water from the ocean into the ship because he believes doing that will neutralize buoyancy, and Bryan Alvarez will be the only one smart enough to get into a rescue boat, but will leave a positive review over his experience.

Meltzer was really disrespectful towards Sid, saying he wasn't a draw and criticizing him yet he will tell you that Jack Perry is a legend and a massive draw. Dave has severe dementia, obviously. No need for a doctor, just listen to the garbage that comes out of his mouth. Blatant aggressive dementia.

[@lracseroom8286]

he doesn't have dementia, he's just becoming cranky in his old age. He's much more of a mean-spirited pr*ck than he used to be because AEW is, in a way, his vision and it's dying on the vine which proves Dave's opinion of what a good wrestling promotion is and has always been wrong. Finding out you've been wrong your whole life must be a bitter pill to swallow so he's lashing out. That and his business model for the Observer is dying and his wife left him and took the kids...likely for good reason.

AEW has 2 massive problems with dynamite. 1. “Stars” that people like will show up on the show, and then disappear for weeks on end and you have no idea when they’re coming back, so even if you like that person or their story, that person probably won’t be on the show, or they’re on rampage or collision and those shows suck, so why watch? 2. Their main events don’t have STARS in them. They format the shows where their biggest names are in these weird spots throughout the show, and they never build up a story or a problem throughout the show to keep people tuned in, and then all the sudden Jungle Boy is in the main event, so why stay and watch? If MJF is your biggest ratings draw. Why is he in 1 fucking segment? You need him throughout the show, and you NEED him in the main event. Plain and simple. Showcase your stars and don’t let people forget about them, and make sure they’re in the biggest spots of your show

Dave Meltzer will be 65 one day before my birthday. Has time passed him by?

[@Tim85-y2q]

AEW is the one who needs Mayim Bialik's help. She's in the show that gives them their opening bump. She's over.

[@HisNameIsX1]

It’s even funnier the second time

[@clarenszephir9993]

This is funny 😂.. good show jim cornette and Brian last 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥

[@Jilktube]

Dave's still living in 1998, and as a result the cope is legendary.

[@LRM5195]

Legit thought that was Goldberg in the thumbnail lmao

[@TL2354]

Why?

[@scottmartin3228]

Usually for things I DVR, I add a 2 minute pad at the end. For all AEW shows, I had to move it to 15 minutes!

[@stevehogan9958]

I do exactly the same as you, on both counts!

[@artemusprine]

Jim has me confused... I thought the point of the overrun was to make it seem like a sport... "We don't know when this will end..." kinda thing. So it's stupid to do an overrun every week. I'd like to see a show under-run and have to listen to five minutes of commentary about how quick the match was.

[@JenMistress]

I think Dave was about a few seconds away from asking what is that over there, then sneaking off when looking away. 😉😂🤣 Damn, it felt like he was running through about as much excuses as he could for that drop off.

[@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734]

Uh you know, there’s like something uhhhh over like there.

[@georgedaratany]

YES PLEASE POST MORE ABOUT OTHER PODCASTS

[@snarferyasmr3739]

The overrun is BS weekly. I actively try to give them ratings but cant watch live, and they NEVER end on time EVER. Its f'ing stupid

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Dvr/pvr here in canada wouldmallow you to set a recording to last as lonf as they show being aired ran. You could choose a time limit or set to record automatic to match show. Was this way to be able to record games for hockey or baseball which sometimes went longer or shorter depending in play but also worked for wrestling.

[@nooneinparticular5273]

The fact that even Dave's lackey Bryan Alvarez can see what is going on, and will on occasion point it out, but Dave can't do it is just astounding. He digs in his heels at every turn. Dies on the hill for AEW regardless of what that hill is. If there is an AEW hill, you can but your bottom dollar that Uncle Dave will strap on his suit of armor, draw his sword and fight to the death on it for the honor of All Friends Wrestling. He seems to be phyically incapable of offering anything but the most limp wristed criticism at best, and even that he makes sure to sandwich between two compliments. Even objective facts like that the overruns are now hurting AEW's numbers, he will just shout "Nuh uh!" And his logic is "No, I "studied this", so when I say nuh uh, just agree with me because I'm very very smart." It's just absurd. He either really is just *that* obsessed and is emotionally incapable of letting it go, or he has to be on the take. It's the only two possibilities, and either way, he has no credibility or any right to call himself a journalist anymore. He's completely partial and has lost his ever loving mind.

[@rickyvenegas9286]

Jon “Plumber” Moxley will bring these rating through the roof along with Ricochet and the new invasion angle

[@perryco34]

More like they went right to the toilet.

[@scotthemond5750]

Love these videos😂😂

[@REALCatJesus]

That ad was perfect 😂😂😂

[@ethanthomas8131]

So it depends on the week and not on the product?

[@MrSniperfox29]

Is Dave still blaming the fans for not DVRing everything on that day to make sure they get all of AEW?

[@carlos10016552]

We must have a Jim Cornett podcast with Jim and Dave. Would be a must-hear podcast. Can't wait. Cornette would eat him alive.
