SRS generally seems to be the best of the bunch in terms of gathering sources and breaking stories. But even then, some of his reporting around the MJF stuff a few months ago didn't quite sit right, like the guy openly acknowledged that he texts with MJF fairly often and yet he has no more meaningful insight on what actually went on anyone else? I just came away with feeling like it was a purposeful withholding of information.

And now with all of the "leaks" coming out this week, SRS's reports are substantially more damning on Punk than anyone else. Nobody else has reported much more than "Punk went offscript" or "Punk and Page don't actually like each other".

Thing about SRS is he's repeatedly said he's not a journalist. Dude went onto Joey Janela's Spring Break this year portraying a heel version of himself. It's pretty clear to me that, if ever one of the dirt sheet guys were to try to get involved in an angle, it would be him. Not saying he is or isn't but it's reason enough to not believe everything you see from him.

Meltzer I don't doubt reports what he believes to be true, but I also don't think he'd possess the social awareness to even know if he was being worked.
