Dave Meltzer is an AEW Cheerleader and Proud

Remember when Dave Meltzer was seen as a fair and balanced wrestling journalist, known as THE Historian of the sport? Those were good times. Since AEW started, his reporting and opinions seem less objective, becoming more biased and less insightful. This is a big change for many longtime fans.

He recently criticized WWE LFG talent BJ Ray, and his complaint was all about the numbers! Has this delusional old man bothered to check the AEW ratings recently? The numbers there have never been lower in their entire history.

That’s exactly what he should be focusing his energy on—tweeting nonstop about AEW’s declining viewership and trying to help his favorite promotion improve, instead of continuing to criticize and hurt it with misplaced comments.

AEW used to have the unmistakable “Cool Factor,” capturing the attention of many fans with its fresh energy and innovative style.

But do you know what’s definitely not cool? 65-year-old Dave Meltzer, a figure surrounded by various controversies and who is all kinds of dangerous in his own way. However, I won’t dive into those details here, when you can just click the link.

You can check his X account yourself; I already know enough. Last week’s stats: Dave is 10% more positive about AEW than WWE. Millions watch most WWE shows, but only a few hundred thousand watch AEW Dynamite, their main show.
