And then proceeds to defend the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega as usual, without even giving a shred of credence to the possibility that they have any part in this. As far as I'm concerned, the company did fine when Omega was on the shelf and they'll do fine without him or the Bucks. Dave just can't get his smoocher off their asses for any length of time.

I thought they handled it well in terms of the show they put on last night. MJF not mentioning certain things, Mox giving a passionate promo, Jericho bringing some comedic relief and alluding to looking after the locker room and then some great matches that focused on young and key talent. This whole thing has been depressing and we're all far from having closure but I think Dynamite was a good indication of how strong the rest of the roster can be in a crisis. The AEW that dealt with Brodies passing in such a wonderful way is the AEW I love and that I want to see emerge from the other side of this mess. *Edit: I'm in no way comparing Brodies passing to this mess. I just think that situation showed us what AEW could be and that kind of unity should be the goal in the future.*

Punk doesn't care if someone shares a bank account with their mother in isolation but he cares when he countersues you and gets an email begging to drop the whole thing when discovery shows that his mom will be involved. Punk may not care that much if Adam Page went into business for himself in isolation but when he does it under the pretext of Colt Cabana at the exact same time news stories come out that Punk got Colt fired then it's a BIG f@$king issue. Punk and Cabana are basically the same as a couple that ended in a bitter divorce in terms of potential heat and everything went south when Colt's contract wasn't renewed.

He's the most important party by a mile. But he was a wrestling fanatic and the son of a multi-billionaire for his whole life. He only started a company once the Elite created a built-in audience that could be counted on to support a new company. To say nothing of the relationships they cultivated for years with independent talent that was used to build a roster. TK is by far more important but it doesn't happen without both parties.

Dave, you have attended numerous UFC press conferences where the fighters talk shit about the company or Dana. This happens regularly. I'm sure Dave isn't going to read KZread comments but come on lol. Punk clearly felt his media coverage has been unfair and when Hangman goes off script to and claims Punk is the reason someone lost a job when that person already sued him. Surely, adding this context would've been useful? Then we have Dave stating Bucks paved the way. Cody, Bucks and Kenny played a huge role but you can't have EVPs storm/walk into a personal locker room of guy who already critiqued on them few minutes back. Unfortunately Dave sounded like he was picking a side whereas Bryan Alvarez has been careful to be as neutral as possible.

Its not the same. UFC fighters careers are super short and they don't have to be okay with company decisions. They just need to get in the ring and fight. It doesn't matter what they think of the company cause them walking out or not fighting means nothing, whereas wrestling is dependent on people agreeing to decisions in the back and losing a fight to someone they may not like. Stop excusing Punk because Hangman once said a line that no one knew referred to Colt. Punk was a child seating at home being mad that Hangman said something three months ago and then decided to go after the founders of the company, the soul of the company. Because Punk only cares about what is good for Punk and once he got his fill of AEW and their benefit to him he will walk away without caring what happens or how much he buried the talent in the back on the way there. He ruined his own story with MJF because he couldn't keep his personal issues to himself. Who cares what wrestling media says? What are you a child? They buried Punk for 7 years when he was away, now he suddenly cares what they write?

How can Meltzer/Alvarez and Wrestling Observer have any credibility on this story? They are very much involved in the whole thing, are close friends with the Elite and simply cannot be objective. At no point here have either of them ever considered Punk’s side to it, that the Elite may have behaved inappropriately as well, and that they certainly did not start AEW from nothing. Khan’s billions may have played a part and the signing of major, non-indie talent bringing in a wider audience. Also I think Cody’s contributions in the early days are totally forgotten now. But none of that is acknowledged by these “journalists”.

Something is wrong when the journalist becomes part of the story
Dave is the new bill watts rambling on not letting Byran talk
I'm so sick of "what works and what doesn't work". Dave constantly say it and gives no tangible examples. Things work when it's bad guys vs good guys. And that's not just wrestling, but in all storytelling.

It is so irritating and ignorant, I just laugh at Dave Meltzer now.

that's definitely not accurate of all storytelling at all though... i mean it's pretty accurate for like third graders maybe?

@@mayomonkey-gen1 if you can define for me exactly what you mean by "things work when it's good guys vs bad guys," i can do that for you. right now i'm thinking that anything i list, you'll just find some way of saying that it supports your position. like in your mind, what even qualifies as 'good guys vs bad guys' and what would not qualify as that?

Heroes conquering evil is probably the oldest trope in storytelling. And it's survived for so long because it works. Would dusty vs flair have been better if there was grey area in the storytelling? Or if they were just two men trying to be the best athletically? And your comment about 3rd graders was completely asinine. I guess The Crow is a child's story. But even the stories that are for 3rd graders....ninja turtles he-man etc... are still nostalgia-whored by Hollywood to this day, because it might be simple stories of good versus evil. But it still works, even to people who are adults now. And who is a more popular character than spiderman? (Arguably the biggest character) would he be as popular if his villains weren't around. And spiderman just was trying to win an athletic contest? Edit: apologize for the long running sentences.
Dave just talked for 15 min straight without taking a breath. I forgot Bryan was there for a few mins
Hopefully some of the talent who’ve been relegated to Elevation/KZread purgatory take this window of time as an opportunity to get themselves over to Dynamite or Rampage 🤷♂️ This is what Vince calls “grabbing the Brass Ring” 😂
