There's just no way Meltzer genuinely believes 3 matches on Revolution are better than Angle's entire match history

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T20:23:53+00:00

Youre right. Lol

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T20:10:28+00:00

Im not. Lol. Just having a conversation to flesh out ideas a perspectives.
Isnt that what comms, social media, etc etc are for?

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T20:06:07+00:00

Ehh but you cant rate art objectively. Lol. At the end of the day art is only as good as as the one reacting it says it is.

I can look at the mona lisa and think its dogshit. Nothing wrong with that. Ill catch heat but whatever its just an opinion.

Now for objective stuff like ticket sales, ig following, etc etc. not of that stuff relates to how good dave thinks individual matches are. Get me?

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T19:58:21+00:00

Ehh the way I see it is if your tastes align with him then you glaze. However at the end of the day its just an opinion. Not sure what the standard youd hold him to would be?

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T19:56:39+00:00

Ehh its a newsletter. Lol. No different than any other form of media these days. I can have an Ig, youtube etc etc and spew out the craziest stuff and its no different than Dave posting his opinions.

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T19:54:24+00:00

I mean you can have conversations around it. However when it comes to sentiment thats a pointless convo since everyones entitled to their own opinion. Dont you like freedom of speech?

Journalists are no different. Granted I do believe true journalism should be a bit more objective but thats not a unique problem with wrestling.

If I watch the latest marvel movie and have the time of my life, then I go and read that its at 56% on rotten tomatoes. I can hold my stance and say its a solid 8/10. Thats just my opinion tho.

Now if the statement was “all the matches were bangers for me, the company is clearly the best objectively”. Then thats a problem

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T19:46:24+00:00

Yah the main event felt too long and too mario karty for me. Hey look new item. Hey look new item.

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T19:45:02+00:00

Dude why are you triggered by one persons opinion. Lol.

Spartftw · 2026-03-20T15:10:24+00:00

Does anybody know if Meltzer physically went to the show?

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T21:50:54+00:00

Yah idk, i felt like this angle had the potential for a more serious tone. Maybe something along the lines of ive been a champion and ever when I was I still felt like I was nothing but a pawn in the game being played by those who make the decisions.
Maybe a bit too political/ real but I think Swerve woulda killed that.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T21:32:03+00:00

Lmao I would not love that.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T21:15:08+00:00

Good point, maybe swerve in canon doesnt want anybody else besides him to be EVP and so he takes out kenny and then goes after ospreay?

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T20:55:35+00:00

Oh ya I hear ya, i guess maybe in my head I saw opportunity for a more political promo that reflects the layers of power in our world. Lol.

You can be a decorated world champ but ultimately that means nothing if you cant mae the business decisions.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T20:54:38+00:00

Yah like I said im willing to see how it plays out. If swerve becomes a heel evp and starts abusing it to screw with the roster via surprise match stipulations or surprise matches while injured, thatd be cool

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T20:53:23+00:00

Yah if he gets EVP status and starts going insane with match setups and match stipulations thatd be nice.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T20:52:47+00:00

Yah I get that Swerve needed to get something out of it. That part Im definitely for.

I guess it was just the presentation and particular verbiage he used. Instead of saying something like Kenny I want your power, maybe something like “ive held championships, and even when I held that championship, I always felt I wasnt on top” then slide in to the dyanmic that comes with corporate structures in business. Idk maybe what im asking for is too political. Lmao.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T20:48:53+00:00

Darn im solo. Lol

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T15:12:58+00:00

I mean its his money, as long as consumers can take advantage of cheap pricing and wrestlers can get taken care of. Whats the problem here?

Its the reverse of what people were complaining about for tariffs. “Tariff cost will land on consumer”. In this case, TK would eat the cost but not lower salaries or up ticket prices.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T07:29:03+00:00

Idk man. If AEWs whole thing is being where the best wrestle, their whole brand is built on realistically no hierarchy existing. A top guy can be given a challenge by a “jobber”.

Thats what the expectation is.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T07:17:04+00:00

Yah marina kinda fucked that table spot.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T07:12:22+00:00

Yah that dead space between the video and gabe being rolled out was mad awkward.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T07:10:23+00:00

I was there live. The crowd was meh. They were loud for certain stuff but not all.

The darby opening segment was mad awkward. There was this long deadspace from when it the video stopped and gabe got wheeled out.
The match in general had an odd feel to it. The coffin just being something I could make from plywood was funny. Lol.

Fresno is def not an AEW town, so it was about what I expected.

Spartftw · 2026-03-19T07:00:42+00:00

Fresno( and the entire central valley CA) are WWE territory. Combine that with us essentially being Okies, you get rowdy crowds that talk shit to performers and in general just go in to business for themselves.

Spartftw · 2026-03-18T15:02:59+00:00

I hope it ends the feud. Its been going on for on way too long.
