Eric bitchoff has to bash on AEW because wwe Triple H is paying this old fuck too! It's pathetic now. Get off your knees, Eric, and stop blowing HHH.
and YT commentators and toxic fans think they bookers now so what's the difference now? NONE its new people trying to BE MELTZER but can't so they tear him down to take his spot. Nothing new.
Tomato 🍅 or weed??? Before it was legal here in Washington state usa nearly 10yrs ago in 2015ish we had to call it tomato’s if we wanted grow equipment to buy 😂
FINALLY, I enjoy listening to Bischoff and how his mind works his brain. It's great and NOT having to listening to Conrad. Thanks James, great piece of work :) All the best to Dutch and his family.
No kidding. If James could send this to Eric: Mr. Bischoff, all of your fans would love it if you'd sign on to bring your podcasts over here with James and ditch Conrad the Conman. PLEASE.
@@danowarhealy6890 "Hold on, now wait a minute Eric, that's rumor and innuendo. Dave Meltzer writes in the Observer that Hulk Hogan walked into the locker room and urinated in Rey Mysterio's coffee cup which caused Kevin Nash to tear his quad again." Bischoff: "It never happened Conrad, I was actually there! Meltzer is an idiot!" Conrad: "Wait just a minute Eric, that's unfair for you to say! Dave Meltzer had sources in the locker room at the time and is the predominant authority on the subject. Are you really going to try to say Hogan didn't kick a baby down the flight of stairs after urinating in Rey Mysterio's coffee cup while telling Python power and twirling his feather boa?!? You're being dishonest Eric!"
I think Eric has had some other business dealings with Conrad and probably a contract, so we will see how it plays out. There is no doubt that James is a great co-host, though.
I used to listen to his show all the time, but Conrad was insufferable. I get having both sides of an argument, but Conrad would always take it too far. The way he would defend Aew & Meltzer, even when they were completely indefensible was so grating. I’d love if he picked up a new cohost so I could start tuning in again.
I fully agree. James is a fantastic host and his Podcasts are super enjoyable. Conrad on the other hand is insufferable, constantly using everyone's Podcasts to try and get himself over as someone "in the business" while sucking Meltzer off with every question he asks.
Dave buried himself with this horrible take. The wrestling community united to do something kind and beautiful that demonstrates that people are generous.
Eric has become a well rounded elder statesman of the world of professional wrestling. He is honest, concise, and genuine. Love how he calls out and decimates that piece of shit Meltzer
This is the best interview I’ve seen with Eric in a while, and it’s because it is James and not Conrad leading the show, asking valid questions, and shutting up and letting Eric talk. Just like when he talks to Dutch. I tune in for Dutch’s opinion and Eric’s opinion, and James gets it.
Lmao! I remember that. “Poor people don’t like AEW”. Brian Last and Cornette had a segment on one of their podcasts where they died laughing at Dave over those stupid comments.
As much as I enjoy it I do sometimes think we should just stop talking about the guy negatively or positively he is a cancer and can't even explain his own rating system 😂
this video highly increased my sympathy for Eric Bischoff. it's an authentic and honest argumentation about what went and goes wrong with so-called journalists like Mr. Meltzer. i tried to value both sides of the medal and watched/read some interviews of Dave Meltzer. i need to admit that i was too weak to build up some sympathy for dave ... i cannot understand why people are still following him. maybe it's the destructive thinking of people which makes them endorse dave - to see that a little man can make so much trouble to the big boyz. when i look at dave and his behavior i see a dwarf from school yard that cannot stop to get on the nerves of his classmates - a kid that constantly tries to stretch his boundaries and tries to snitch his way up to the top.
Meltzer is the most unifying force in the known world. He brings, Russo, Bischoff, Cornette into perfect harmony, if only for the fleeting mention of his name.
I've heard Mike Johnson from PWInsider in the past and I can confirm, he always have the rule of at least double checking (if not even triple checking) the story before publishing. As a freaking real *JOURNALIST* is suppose to do. Now I understand WHY wrestlers and bookers in 80s/90s started calling his letter "dirt sheet". A well deserved term for Uncle Dave's "journalism" work.
I have texted Bryan Alvarez to dump Meltzer...he takes up more time with less info...uh..uh..uh.Bryan has actually starting to challenge him. He never fact checks and is an AEW supporter...disgusting...think he is on the AEW Payroll. Where does Meltzer get his stats??? No story line, failed ratings, wanted money on WWE talent brought in...Where's Wardlow, Omega won't even return to AEW, ticket sales down , Mercedes is a waste, Ricochet will be buried..where's Samoa Joe. Wheres Miro? allowing MJF to go do movies when the company ratings are in the dumps...Worse decision TK ever made was to chose Jack Perry over Punk. TK needs to step back and hire CREATIVE writers and stop shelling out billions of dollars for wrestlers who perform on TV 1 or 2 times..then never seen again!!! LONG TERM BOOKING!!! NO story lines. Allowing wrestlers to perform dangerous and hurtful moves....TK should be sued for negligence. The Jaguars are also WINLESS!! Wake up TK!! I do not even watch any of his shows and after purchasing the first PLE...wasted my money...never again.
Hey Eric, glad you are with James, he's the man for TH-cam wrestling. * if people stopped talking about Meltzer I think he would shrivel up and blow away. 😊
@@NycLogics & Conrad too. There’s been times I really wanted to listen to Arn Anderson or Bruce Prichard, but he ruins it by thinking it’s about him. Nobody cares what he has to say.
I'm just not a huge Bischoff Fan, but he nailed this dead on. There was zero cause for Meltzer to make the comments he did about the Dutch Mantell ( and Wife) situation .A couple weeks ago Meltzer declared a Wrestler dead before he actually was, and now this .The guy just cant stop taking L's and they are all of his own making.
Dark Side of The Ring: The Rise & Fall of Dave Meltzer should be an episode. Interview all these OG wrestlers talking about how much of an AEW shill tool he is now.
This must be therapeutic for Eric. As he normally has to listen to Conrad sniffing Dave Meltzer's throne, and respond to the shit that was published in the Wrestling Observer when talking about historical events. And all with Conrad constantly interrupting to defend Meltzer, or breaking up the response with multiple adverts for dick pills and his scummy subprime lending scam. I hope Eric at some point kicks Conrad to the curb, and either branches out on his own or finds a new co-host. He probably would be just as easy to work with as Stevie Richards, as Eric isn't above going live and talking by himself for a couple of hours on topics or big events.
The funniest thing about this is Meltzer's only job is to critique wrestling and he crapped on Dutch for actually doing the job that Dave's supposed to be doing but refuses to do.
There's plenty to give him shit for. But he did try his best in the business and didn't backstab anyone he worked with. Which makes him a very respectable figure, when conpared to Meltzer.
He does have some interesting things to say. I recall when he analysed Dynamite with the Elite takeover earlier this year in terms of storytelling. It was good stuff.
I use to not like Bischoff. Well, no, I mostly hated Bischoff. But over time I've grown to like him more and shed a lot of that hatred. There's still things I don't agree with him on, but his thoughts on Dave are dead on.
This is what I learned about pro wrestling before I ever started many years ago even reading Meltzers sheet. When you think you know what is going to happen, you know less than nothing. You will only ever know what they tell you. Just sit back and be a fan.
Nice to see a co-host just lead Eric towards a topic or question and then simply lets him go on with his thoughts without interrupting or.try to upstage him.
Dave's been a wrestling circle fly since the beginning of WWF. You can even find it on wiki Look it up. He thinks because he was licking WWF boots for decades that somehow he knows the taste of everything wrestling. I've been around 5 decades and a wrestling fan for 4 of them. Dave meltzer has NEVER mattered to anyone but the simple minded people who believe anything.
James, you said this was the last time you want to mention Meltzer, but I think you should do the opposite - build a compilation of interviewees ripping him apart and destroying his credibility and delusions.
Eric had already learned his own advice on his own quote "The show [AEW] was so horrible. It really was like a bunch of 10 years old kids produced a wrestling show for a highschool project". Sounds so much like WCW. The constant interferences in matches, the bad story-telling, and the bad match stipulations or match rules. I am also not defending Meltzer, nor condoning what he said to Dutch Mantell. I enjoy when Meltzer and Bischoff engage each other, because it is one of a few times that Bischoff will be honest. From reading up on Meltzer just now. He has been given false news to write which he then published or had published bad information from sources. Bischoff confirmed this in the video.
Years ago after a thunder rosa vs britt baker match, baker said in the back to one of the medical team or producer "I hope Dave gives that 5 stars" That's all you need to know about why aew failed
@@anfeariontachNo Eric is actually experienced in running and wrestling company. Been very successful and also had failures. His insight is great and interesting to listen to. Dave is just a fan. It’s a big difference.
Eric is spot on. If TK is serious about running AEW as a genuine company that can be serious competition for WWE, he needs to keep Dave Meltzer at arms length and keep him away from the business end of his company. If TK is too nice to hurt Meltzer’s feelings, this is where he needs the second in command that is seen as TK’s voice that doesn’t give a cr@p about what people think about how s/he delivers the message. For you history buffs, think Tommy Lascellles to the young Elizabeth II.
I was in attendance for the Nov 13 AEW show in Bridgeport. It was shockingly bad. The fans had ZERO to pop for. We were begging for something exciting to happen. Can't blame the crowd for an abysmal showing.
Tony needs to distance himself from Dave asap. He has to realise it's not a healthy or unbiased link. Ironically trying to protect Tony he has done unrepairable damage and diminished Tony's reputation. The overwhelming opinion is that Tony isn't a good booker but is unquestionably a great guy. That kind of person shouldn't be associated with somebody of dubious reputation. Eventually Daves shit will stick on Tony.
Except its people specifically begging to never have to endure an episode with him again. Which is the opposite of what you want from a heel. Almost by definition it makes him not great but abysmal. This doesnt end with a baby face getting 5 min alone with conrad. It ends with conrad alone in a room with no viewers.
I love James I wish he would take on Eric’s podcast instead of Conrad. I feel like Conrad tries to play a heel character almost but he misses the mark and the heat is just because he actually sucks
God, I would give anything for someone to get Eric and Jim Cornette in a room at the same time and ask them a question about Uncle Dave, or to have them review an AEW show together. It would be great.
😊 glad to hear dutch got his go fund me for him/wife. Hope it helps them and they both get better very soon. Much love from old wrestling fan ❤ to each and every legend we love you all.😊
It just so happened that I had Eric Bischoff booked on Friday, but this is the last I'll bring up Dave Meltzer on a WSI Show... for now...
Bring Bischoff in & away from Conrad Thompson please.
I love seeing bischoff on WSI. This is great. Well said Eric!
Great to see Eric back on here James looking forward to the full interview
Eric can't talk. Waste of space
Can this old mother fucker shut up! All Eric bitchoff dose is bitch and complained about everything. It's very annoying. Very old man needs to get lost. Eric bitchoff has to bash on AEW because wwe Triple H is paying this old fuck too! It's pathetic now. Get off your knees, Eric, and stop blowing HHH.
It’s nice to listen to Eric Bischoff without having to endure Conrad Thompson’s inane blathering.
Right?
Conrad is too much of a runaway mouth on steroids. The guy probably talks in his sleep.
Conrad is an apologist for aew to the highest degree.
@@Juicelee777ssj it sucks too because two of my favourite podcast personalities are Eric Bischoff and Jeff Jarrett.
@@calbudd2838 or rocks!
Eric Bischoff did not bury Meltzer. MELTZER buried Meltzer. He's a shovel who thinks he's a booker.
Did anyone else read this and hear Vinnie Mac’s “Bret screwed Bret” voice? 😂
and YT commentators and toxic fans think they bookers now so what's the difference now? NONE its new people trying to BE MELTZER but can't so they tear him down to take his spot. Nothing new.
@@zlinedavid It was me, Meltzer!
Meltzer screwed Meltzer
Shovels are actually a useful tool. Comparing them to Meltzer is an insult to shovels.
I have grown tomatoes in the garden that have thicker skin than Dave Meltzer. Dude needs to man up and stop taking criticism too personally.
Awesome comment, and I completely agree!
Tomato 🍅 or weed???

I can’t stand Conrad. He talks too much and always has to say “Meltzer says…”
I fully agree. James is a fantastic host and his Podcasts are super enjoyable. Conrad on the other hand is insufferable, constantly using everyone's Podcasts to try and get himself over as someone "in the business" while sucking Meltzer off with every question he asks.
Meltzer would write...
Someone go give Connie the Hutt $5000 in Golden Corral gift cards. Maybe he’ll OD.
That was succinct, brutally honest, and eloquent.

He does have some interesting things to say. I recall when he analysed Dynamite with the Elite takeover earlier this year in terms of storytelling. It was good stuff.

Dave Meltzer being the Thanos of wrestling and bringing all these opposing viewpoints coming together to bury and destroy him is glorious XD
@ProjectV6 That‘s harsh… towards Thanos.
At least one could understand where he came from with his extreme viewpoints.
@Mozartkugel I thought of that after I hit the post button lmao
Dave Meltzer it is more like M.O.D.O.K: just a big nerd that every superhero makes fun of.
Conrad somewhere out there is thinking: Aww come on now Eric
And saying things like 'This is just mean spirited!'
Nice to see a co-host just lead Eric towards a topic or question and then simply lets him go on with his thoughts without interrupting or.try to upstage him.
Finally, jim cornette and eric agrees on something
And even Russo! Who would have ever thought those three would be unified on something?
Love this cross over. Without all the bs Conr-ads
Someone else needs to take the reigns of bestowing 5-star matches. Bischoff and Cornette are my two choices.
Thing about expert is that it's actually derived from Latin. "Ex," Meaning useless, and "Spurt," which means drip under pressure.

When's the full Ep out?
It’s nice hearing Eric talk without 6 commercials ads in every sentence he says like on his “ad free” show.
God, I would give anything for someone to get Eric and Jim Cornette in a room at the same time and ask them a question about Uncle Dave, or to have them review an AEW show together. It would be great.
I'm not a big Bischoff fan but he's 100 percent spot on here.
Is this full interview up somewhere else?
You know things are bad when Jim corn̈ette and Eric have a common emeny
AND Vince Russo, AND Disco Inferno 😂
Love me some EZE! Great episode James and E 👊🏼
I didn't know Eric left Conrad's thing, but I'm not complaining.
Conrad and Dave getting buried in the comments. Solid work.
It’s great to see everyone rallying around a good guy with Dutch..shows the checks & balances of the industry when things get outta bounds
Eric Bischoff without the round fella from his program is much more enjoyable wow
😊 glad to hear dutch got his go fund me for him/wife. Hope it helps them and they both get better very soon. Much love from old wrestling fan ❤ to each and every legend we love you all.😊
Thats great , hopefully it will help take alot of stress and worry away . Keep on keeping on Dutch
I love Eric but I hate Conrad more. We all know you have a full plate James but, damn, this is a match made in heaven
Dave is as happy knowing Tony, as Tony is knowing wrestlers.
