For the first time in 30 years of watching this guy .... this is the interview that made me understand Meltzer as a "wrestling journalist." He's grown into his looks and now LOOKS like a professional, so it makes it easier to believe he's a serious career reporter, not just a shit-disturber obsessed with a staged sport. I have a new respect for Dave.
I could go into great detail why I think Montreal is a work that only Vince and Bret were in on...but Meltzer's "proof" is some wrestlers bought it and because Bret was meticulous in supporting it, even though he always covered it as though it was Bret vs Vince...which was the work.
I watch most wrestling but not obsessed with it. I’m more into sports especially combat sports. I don’t get these loyal brands bashing each other. Enjoy it it might not last forever
Good interview fam...I'm a fan of yours and i'll continue to support your content. I remember watching a video about you I think it was you. Are you the man who was going to get a break with the WWE possibly but they couldn't clear you because doctors found out you have Hep. C. Also it is believed you got it from Abdullah the Butcher. i may have some details wrong. If thats the case though and if you had to stop wrestling because of it that's so fucked up on Abdullah's part. Im glad to see your still in the business at some capacity and your making good content. Im 30 yrs old from Milwaukee, and I'm half white and half black. Even though I'm a minority too I can't stand Abdullah's the Butcher, and he seems like a piece of shit. I never was a fan and he has no skills at all hes just super out of shape and he got by because he was so fuckin big. He wasnt athletic and he seems like he didn't have a mind for the business either. He was never doing anything new he was just pathetic in my opinion. I think him being labelled a wrestler is an insult to guys like you who have the genes to look like a legit badass wrestler. My bad im rambling but fuck Abdullah and ima keep suppporting you my nigga. Milwaukee got love for u fam...
Dave Meltzer is a disgrace for pro wrestling much more than any bad worker. It is not only about him but wrestling critics in general, they treat it like a legit fighting sport doing reviews and symposiums about scripted fake matches, being so out of touch that they don't even realize how most of the viewers don't give a damn about match qualities as long as the storyline is hot. That's the reason why wwe is losing viewers week after week since they decided to put over average men who couldn't even cut a decent promo without having all wrote and scripted by others, just because they are great in ring workers.People like me fast forward till the end of the matches to see how good is the outcome and how they will try to explain and get something out of what just happened. Who cares about the flippy floppy acrobats if they look like your regular neighbour with less charisma and reliability? If they want to show how good they are at wrestling, they should try to do legit fights in MMA organizations. Wrestling is a complete different thing, because in this business people like Hogan and Austin got over, not Severn or Abbott and that's because it only matters what you do with a mic in your hands more than with a wannabe dancer in the ring
Simone ILMSM Super Interesting take on it SIMONE. So can I assume your favorite era is attitude era? If so, did u buy PPVs back then? Also, I was wondering if you’re first And foremost into the characters; As long as your watching a guy who’s over/good on mic, will you sit through a long match?? THANKS for the perspective. DUPE’
I've heard from many wrestlers/owners/managers that Dave meltzer is a damn liar. where does he get his information from? how does he know for a fact what he says is true? you dont know
Anthony Ritenour of course if he breaks a story that portrays something in a bad light, its going to get turned on him. thats part of the journalism game.
Here's at thread that discusses his sources. Who are some known Dave Meltzer wrestler sources? www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/64g2le/who_are_some_known_dave_meltzer_wrestler_sources/ Who are some known Dave Meltzer wrestler sources? www.wrestlingforum.com/general-wwe/2115354-who-dave-meltzers-sources-wwe.html
Dave Meltzer, is a joke, I used to think he knew things, as time go by i see how little he knows. Just listen to his views of the territories , he is clueless, he doesn't even know which wrestlers in the late 70's and 80's were worth their salt
That's why he's been getting awards from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Cauliflower Alley Club, which do know pro wrestling. Your statement basically contradicts them.

@@LunchBox68 Joey Diaz fan huh?
@@KushClarkKent 👌
the man, the myth, the mutha fucking MELTZ
For a guy with his knowledge, he's just about the most laid-back, approachable dude to have a beer with I've ever seen.
lmao with his knowledge 🤣
If you question his knowledge about the business, you are full of shit.
@@adrianroman6678 He has knowledge there is no doubt about that, but his wrestling philosophy seems to be problematic...
I laughed out loud at this comment seriously
He's a pollution to the buisness
He's starting to look like Harrison Ford
Thanks, you know, Hannibal, you know, for this.

Fantastic shoot. Thank you for putting these up, they're some of the best I've seen.
I wish this was longer
Oh stfu u smark
So this is the famous Metlzer that Bischoff has such an issue with? He seems pretty nice.
I like metlzer....Eric Bishoff has his own opinion
@@delbertprince5302 stfu everyone hates him he's the biggest smark he ruins wrestling

Just don’t tell Bruce Prichard that ;)
How bout now?
Sorry its 4 yrs later
If his looks had to convince you that he was a serious and credible journalist, the problem was you all along.

How do you do it Hannibal.
Each interview I say Hannibal will not top this shoot.
But you do

Man did he have a train to catch ? It's like he went from one question to another in 35 sec.

This channel has the best shoot interviews out there by far.
The wrestlers who hate on Meltzer are the same wrestlers who eat, breathe, and sleep their own bullshit!!
Full of Denial!

Hannibal get some females on here like madusa
Found it fantastic interview Hannibal.
I've never noticed that his ears are fused to his head, he has no dangling lobe..... huh
Those are know as "criminal" earlobes look it up it's quite interesting
thats all I can see now, he looks like a dang Ferengi...
He should stretch them.
Meltzer is the oppenheimer of wrestling:
“I am become death, destroyer of worlds”
Lmao
He reminds me of kenny omega the way he talks
Uncle Dave!
good interview
Smark overload
Thank you finally someone understands that Dave Meltzer is the leader of smarks and crushes wrestling
big money dave! WOO!
Stfu smark he ruined wrestling
Of course what Bret told you about his conversation with Vince was true, how could he lie, he was wired!
the shooter becomes the shootee
Who's the guy wearing the Iowa Hawkeye hat?

Dave Meltzer is a good guy. I think Eric bishoff does not like to hear the truth......
This is the first time i'm seeing what this guy looks like, always thought he'd be some young dude judging by his twitter lmao
Bruce Prichard gave this a thumbs down.
Eric Bischoff doesnt recall what he gave it :)
Inoki probably don't know who this guy is

People like cena, bruce prichard or jericho for example
Man I wonder how much he get paid for just talking shit about wrestling when he don't work in wrestling
He's a journalist. Does a journalist have to be a professional in any topic they cover? No, they have sources to inform them of how things work.
My hero, honestly!
Meltzers an overrated mark fanboy for men half his age .
