Who do you subscribe to? Who have you subscribed to? Who would you recommend over another and why?

I started subscribing to F4Wonline about three years ago. I've never given anyone else a shot because I am addicted to the audio they produce, and mostly for Dave Meltzer who I consider to be the main man in journalism for Pro Wrestling and MMA. Nobody else covers MMA as in depth so I also get that fix there as well. Both are treated equally and since I love both it is perfect for me.

A lot of people hate on Dave, but I don't get it, I just see it as online trolling but I could be wrong, any opinions on Dave that aren't as positive, and why?

How is "No" not an option for a Yes/No style question?

WHO ARE WE

We are a secret society of anti-traditionalist wrestling fans who have been waiting for Vince Russo to gain 100% control of the TNA Writing before we spoke out.

HOW DO I JOIN THE CULT

You praise and worship anything that our God Vince Russo does. He is the most creative man in the business and is the reason that we had stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. You join our forum and help spread the word and fix the reputation the evil purists have placed on Vince Russo throughout the internet.

WHY IS VINCE RUSSO HATED

Vince Mcmahon payed dirt sheet writers and columnists like Dave Meltzer, Lance Storm, and Mark Madden to go around and spread false information about Russo because he knew he was the reason that the WWF/WWE is still alive. Vince Mcmahon wants to take credit for everything that Russo has done for him and will do his best to bury him.

WHY NOW?

With Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantell out of the way finally Vince Russo can rise and show the world what kind of show he can write. He will push younger talent, make cutting edge storylines with drama, add comedy, anything can happen, title matches on impact, character development, a overall better product. Join us today! We are now coming forth to save everyone who has been brainwashed!

Common Misconceptions:

Dave Meltzer will tell you that giving away big matches on television is a bad thing and will effect the buyrates for PPVs.

TNARICK will tell you the truth! When you have millions of more eyes on your television product then you will have more people to advertise your PPVs and Merchandise to. Why settle advertising to the 1.0 viewers that will watch a wrestling based program when you can have millions more to promote and sell your PPVs and Merchandise to.

Dave Meltzer will tell you that David Arquette as WCW Champion was bad for business.

TNARICK will tell you the truth! David Arquette winning the WCW Title was one of the most entertaining things that took place in the entire history of the business. Casual fans around the world loved it. WCW and Russo were going through a stage of replacing the old tradition fans with casual fans who are the masses.

Dave Meltzer will tell you that wrestling needs to be simple. Good guy vs. bad guy.

TNARICK will tell you the truth! Clear cut good guy vs. bad guy is not interesting in 2009. People want to see reality in the characters and feuds! People have more sides to them then straight good guy and bad guy.

Dave Meltzer will tell you that shoots and taking shots at the WWE is a bad thing and makes you look second rate.

TNARICK will tell you the truth! The reality in shoots and worked shoots make a fake scripted wrestling show draw in the casual viewer. When you are the #2 promotion you have to be aiming at the number one and taking shots. It brings in that reality because everyone knows that TNA wants to take the spot and will take the spot with the help of Russo.

None.

Observer and other dirtsheets give away a lot for free while the bigger wrestling forums/websites on the internet usually upload most of the good stuff from the weekly paid Observer newsletters.

I subscribe to the Observer, but more for the audio content than to "get scoops". Means I've always got something to listen to.

Observer Newsletters are awesome, been a subscriber since 2002. Never really bought for the scoops (they're a nice bonus) so much as the history pieces and analysis. Either thought provoking on the current events and fascinating with the history stuff because there's so much to learn.

I got PWTorchVIP. Not sure if I want to keep it but keep not cancelling it. Their shows are pretty good except for the call in system sucks.

Dave's alright in my book.

I do find him annoying at times. Especially when he keeps on repeating "I don't know" on LAWradio
