Hey all, I was just reading some of the threads here and I'm loving it so far. One request, and maybe I'm being too bold here, would be to limit the dirtsheet drama. I , for one, couldn't care less what Meltzer thinks of a match. I don't care for the negative vibes the dirtsheets look at the business with. Also, a problem I found with /SC, is that if a dirtsheet reported it, it was taken as gospel. These guys get worked all the time, and shouldn't be taken with any sort of seriousness. The only one I respect is Mike Johnson, but he works for a crappy site. This is just one long term fans opinion, but hopefully we can keep this space as negative free as we can.

I don't think Meltzer giving his opinion of a match is in itself an issue, but there definitely is a sub-group of people on the likes of r/SC that take his word as gospel.

At the end of the day, the decent sheets with actual sources ^(queue^ ^separate^ ^debate)^ are just reporting what they've been told by insiders, and just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't a possibility. Discussing these possibilities are half the reason we're in communities about wrestling to begin with!

The real problem is that some people can't handle the fact that plans do actually change. ^shrug^

I don't disagree with your post. I am probably more extreme on this as I actually prefer talking as if its a legit sport. At this time, however, I seems we just need SOMETHING here before we say there is too much of anything.
