Tuna Meltz really stepped into one this time. His apology didn't go over well at all.

The funny thing is, is Dave almost caught himself from saying anything and then his co-host dragged it out of him lol

Can't wait for the #PiggyPeyton storyline

Meltzer does have a point about how main roster is way more about looks but like a bunch of others times, he has a bad way of delivering his point.

She looks better on Smackdown because of her enhancements and makeup while she was a better wrestler on NXT since the focus was a lot more balanced between skills and looks.

Its also why all the jokes about Vince/WWE only cares about blonde and thin women for champs and big pushes keeps popping up from time to time. Something like the Top 5 longest women's champs by combined days is almost all blonde women when you take out Moolah.

Seems like he was making a "joke" about her new tits rather than calling her fat, hence his "unnatural" comment.

Is she fat

So lame.

I don't even know which one she is tbh.

I looked her up. She's super fit. Ugly tho

Looked up more. Only ugly from certain angles. Studio pics look good

Pretty funny that Rollins is white knighting this one though considering his past indiscretions. Dude is definitely mad about his star ratings.

Everyone in the business is fully aware that meltzers crap isnt worth the paper its no longer printed on. Wont stop the internet from sucking his dick though.

Who are you, Droford?

Peyton Royce is awesome though. Watch their ride along episode, they are both (Billie Kay) funny and charming.

Not to mention not at all fat. Maybe Meltzer thinks her boobs got bigger cause she got fat, he never heard of implants maybe?? Lol

Peyton has not hit her finisher once since debuting on the main roster. Being brought up with the single purpose of being fed to & putting shine on Charlotte'll do that to ya.

Hilarious that the shit rats all of a sudden have credibility because Dave called a chick fat

Theyve always had more credibility than meltzer

Being in a bad relationship and wanting out via cheating isn't really the same thing. It's not great but it doesn't mean he can't defend a friend.

Lol please

Don't know who Peyton Royce is, but sounds like Meltzer stepped in it with whatever he said about her.

Hilarious though that folks honestly believe that Bischoff and Russo, guys who've legit, both together and apart, each ruined wrestling companies and always seemed in it for themselves, are somehow "credible" or "more credible" than Meltzer.

Bit of a prick thing to say , I agree with whoever said it that he was making a remark on her enhancements. They are jobbers on the main rosters after building up an audience and an act that worked on NXT but then even there they were usually on the loss column.

It’s a shame that he couldn’t have started a conversation on how even though we are in a women’s revolution that we still have women who have an expectation of looking a certain way if they are on the main roster. Also takes me back to the Original Mae Young Classic when people were getting shit for not having the ‘WWE’ look.

But the most important thing is that he didn’t say shit about Billie Kay cos if he did then shit would really hit the fan.

This is completely the norm for his guy. Dave’s an angry nerd and hates woman. That’s the only reasonable explanation. He’s buried female talent in the past and this is par the course.

She still might want to try

Not for a second lol

Peyton for those who haven't seen her

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/eb...fbf20e82e6.gif

Ugh get that cow off my computer screen.

:lol:

Before the storm I had herd the comment on his show and it did raise my eyebrow because I find her very fit and attractive, but it didn't offend me. I think the anti-Dave community is using this as ammunition for their war against him. If you've herd Dave's latest show he speaks on the topic and deeply apologizes and expresses his regret over saying what he said. I think it's incredibly backwards to single him out when people who work for the company have said many more demeaning and offensive things on social media or interviews. WWE has been fat shaming since Vince Jr. took over. Dave said she wasn't as attractive as she was in NXT when she was a bit lighter. That is a comment that could be made about any performer male or female. For the community to constantly throw "professional journalist" as a slight is a joke. I don't care what anyone thinks about Dave or the sheets. Most people in the business have a bad opinion of Dave because they don't make the cut into the higher echelon of his work, or because they suck. It doesn't matter to me. Peyton is really hot.

Doesn't the other one look "fatter"?

https://static3.thesportsterimages.c...e-IIconics.jpg

Honestly, Dave is a bit "on the spectrum" and an easy target because he puts his foot in his mouth and is kind of the nerdy awkward guy. But I love him.

Hate to break it to you guys but he isnt a journalist. He does tabloid pieces.

You guys eat it up

That's why we're fat.

Fu** Dave! and Fu** the SJW's that are overreacting to the comments.

I'd have to agree just to keep the value of the word "journalist" alive a little longer. Though a lot of integrity has been destroyed by tabloid reporting and the pap. As for Meltzer lots of his stuff is unverified and asks more questions than it answers. Specious speculation and a bit of dirt raking doesn't really qualify him as a journalist at all. So much bias.

To me Dave is a critic and historian, journalist? I don't know, don't really care.

He was most likely talking about her breast implants and not her weight (since he has apparently brought up not liking implants a few times)... She got them when she moved to the main roster. When he said "she was a lot lighter" I think he was "joking" about that.

He can't really be like, "I was actually talking about her breasts" though

He should have said that in his follow up tweets.

Not enough before and after pics in this thread.

Added another sentence to my post re: that

That wouldn't improve the situation

Sure he can

"I wish the WWE didn't press on her to get breast surgery. We live in a culture where blah blah blah"

So it's the "journalist" who uses second hand information to put together his tabloid pieces vs the carny bullshit artists in a battle of who is more credible.

Still gonna give the edge to Meltzer.

pretty much where I'm coming from lol

She could use a nose job tbh

I thought it was obvious when he started out by saying she stood out on NXT and doesn't stand out anymore that he was referring to her implants and how they made her look more like everyone else. Oddly enough if he were a little less of a pussy about it and just came out and said it, he would have avoided this.

While cheating on your fiancé with an alleged Nazi is one thing, sending unsolicited dick pics to random girls he just met in a bar a few hours ago is probably the thing that makes him look less immaculate here.

Why does his friend even need to be defended? Does he think she can't do it on her own or something?

"Being in a bad relationship and wanting out via cheating".

lol Such ridiculous wording

Also, he wasn't defending a friend. He was trolling Meltzer.

If he really wanted to break up with his fiancé with no chance of reconciliation he should have just gone on a podcast and said he didn't like her tits.

Or I dunno, talked to her maybe?

"I dont trust the carny bullshit artists i only trust the guy who gets stories from the carny bullshit artists."

Brilliant.

The part you're missing is the carny bullshit has more people backing it than metlzer. Meltzer has one guy tell him a story and he prints it. No self respecting journalist on Earth would do that. Yet everyone on the internet swallows that jizz like its printed gold.

Its not journalism. at all. The fact you believe it says something negative about how you consume information.

Kayfabe commentaries is the closest thing to journalism in wrestling at this point. scores of workers telling stories that verify or scrutinize the others. and it ROUTINELY goes against the tabloid rags you guys love so much.

Either way, you're getting stories from carnies though. Hate to burst that bubble.

Carny sheep,,,,,,,

I watched Roddy Piper tell yarn after yarn on his Timeline with KC

Only two yarns?

Pffft!

So you seem to think everyone in the wrestling business is equally as much of a bullshitter as everyone else. I know it adds to the "too cool for school" gimmick. It's not true though. There are guys who are known, verifiable bullshit artists to a compulsive level. Because of that their credibility is insanely low. The guy getting his stories from many different sources within the group and "reporting" on it instantly has more credibility than the known pathological liars of said group. And the fact that Meltzer's biggest detractors in the business seem to be the biggest known bullshitters and his supporters are guys like Cornette who, say what you want about his philosophy or his temper, doesn't have NEARLY the track record of bullshitting as a Prichard or Russo or Bischoff, only adds to that.

And for the record, I don't even care that much for Meltzer. Never subscribed to the Observer. Never really cared about his opinions, even. I'm indifferent toward him. And on top of that, he surely has a habit of showing favoritism toward his friends. So the "Meltzer Sheep" thing just doesn't work. It's just common sense. The bullshitters and the guy who reports what he hears from the group as a whole are not even on the same level of credibility.

lol That isn't even the beginning of it.

Sean Oliver is more credible than Russo or Bischoff though, too.

Given how the topic has grown, I vote that the thread title be changed to "To Sheep or Not to Sheep: The Definitive Dave Meltzer Thread".

Personally, I don't believe any wrassling newz until I see it on TV or announced via official WWE channels like their website or twitter.

A lot of the time, the newz is right, but I still don't trust it one bit.

We have three blondes on the poster of the FIRST-EVER WOMEN'S PPV, and nobody says anything. Dave has a right to have his own opinion, moreover, he was mentioning her breast-implants not her weight.

this whole thing just shows you how many people love to say shit about people behind a computer screen. If Dave really meant her boobs, then whatever. if he meant to actually call her fat, then he's a moron anyway.

But what gets me is all these wrestlers with twitter accounts attacking Meltzer. so childish. I'm surprised the WWE allows them to have twitter accounts. like bro, he apologized, get over it. wtf is calling Meltzer a piece of garbage over twitter going to do?

She should try to lose the extra boob weight using this fine program.

At this point he needs to just come out and say he was talking about her tits. Like, people will still probably be miffed, but easier to be forgiven in today's environment for not liking implants than for fat shaming.

Brock Lesnar is better than Roman Reigns.

I think Brock will retain this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY only on THE WWE NETWORK FREE FOR NEW SUBSCRIBERS

haha yes! I'm kind of in the same boat as you on Meltz btw. I probably like him a touch more than you do BUT I'd never pay for anything from him lol

You should have heard Dave from like 98-2002. He's always been against "unrealistic body images". I remember him commenting alot on how ridiculously skinny Stacy Keibler got

He didnt even actually criticize her. He just stated that she had gotten implants in a cheeky way. If someone is offended by that, then frankly there's no hope for them.

Whoa! Philly D reporting on it :eek:

:y:

This is fucking dumb. You're in a physical business. Your physique is going to be analyzed. He didn't say anything really negative about her from the sounds of that clip, other than she was more attractive in NXT because their act on the main roster has been "WWEized," where the superficial appearance of their women is far more important than talent. See; Bliss, Alexa; Carmella; Royce, Petyon; Kay, Billie.

Bischoff and Russo jumping on this is pretty indicative this is just a witch-hunt on Dave. All these people will gladly work for a company that promotes propaganda for a country that puts women in prison for daring to drive, and then want to act as if calling a spade a spade is egregious.

Fuck this company and fuck the people who support it. Also, fuck Russo and Bischoff.

I get a feeling even though Dave is getting a lot of slack right now that this attention will only raise his profile in the long run. His influence on wrestling is so strong and undeniable. Call him a Journalist, critic, historian, dirt sheet writer or whatever you want Meltzer has raised tons of awareness throughout history for indie and Japanese wrestling. For example, All In would not be a thing if he hadn't jokingly challenged Cody and the Bucks to make it happen.

Who in the Fu** of actual Fu**s is that?

Hilarious that Beth Phoenix and Fit are "disgusted" with this yet they were around and I guarantee didn't say shit during Piggy James and making fun of Vickie Guerrero's weight.

I mean we have the whole Bliss/Nia storyline as well. Also I'd imagine if there was a female critic that had half the following Meltzer did that she would likely comment more than he does on the "attractiveness" of certain superstars, or loss of muscle mass/hotness etc... We all know Jinder looked amazing upon his redebut to WWE, not to say he looks bad now but is it really body shaming if I point out that "he doesn't look as good as he used to"? It's just an observation. And Dave is the Observer.

Lol I remember when Dave used to refer to JYD as the "Junk Food Dog" and the Ultimate Warrior as "The Anabolic Warrior" in the late 80s

How many women needed to go to prison for daring to drive so that Peyton Royce can afford her new tits to share with her boyfriend who thinks that rape is funny if you yell "Surprise!" before it? When you're in an internet argument, sometimes you say shit without thinking, but it's mighty presumptuous to project pity on the women in Dave Meltzer's life when your own ducks aren't in a row.

Also, Peyton is not very good at her job. This is not a sexist remark. She is a shitty wrestler and I bet that if she were ugly she would have never had a look. This dog-piling on Dave by people accepting paychecks from this company is miserably low, and it's darkly ironic. No one with genuine progressive beliefs looks at the WWE's post-feminist token attitude towards women and thinks "Man, they are doing a great job." If the employees actually buy into the WWE's "Women's Revolution" PR, then they are fucking marks.

When's the next event in Saudi Arabia?

I think it was scheduled to be around November/Survivor Series time.

Let's see how disgusting Fit Finlay and Beth Phoenix find the WWE then. And if Tyler Breeze can make his voice count there, since we need to make it positive. I wonder if Renee Young will call the WWE a steaming pile of trash?
