Interesting post from /r/SC

Quote:

I've debated on posting this for years. I've typed it up numerous times and deleted it. I keep thinking "who's going to care?" But if this can give some people a bit of insight into someone that has personally dealt with Dave Meltzer, then have at it.

Back in the early 1990's, I created a wrestling news website as a part time hobby while in high school. It was nothing flashy as my father was just teaching me the beginnings of HTML. So yes, I had plenty of cheesy GIF backgrounds and used dashes and spaces for line breaks. My wrestling news site consisted of local show results I compiled from friends, results of TV broadcasts (Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, etc.), fan fiction stories that readers sent in, a "News... NOT" section (not, like in how they used it in Wayne's World) where people could send in random bullshit like "WWF is in negotiations with Abdullah the Butcher", etc.

Again, this was in the early 90's. Actually, 1993 to be exact. This was before the WWF/WWE had a website. Before WCW had a website. I didn't even have a domain name. I was just feeding off of my father's ISP account website from his monthly service plan. So it was a long URL about 40 characters long and had plenty of random characters.
The site became popular. I was getting 20,000 viewers a month and usually 100 emails a week. Hey, back then that was a ton. The emails would be results from live events all over the world. Many emails were photos (BMP format, so they would take about 40 minutes to download a single photo... and I'd have hundreds attached.)
I had regular content submissions from a family in Germany we nicknamed "The Sour Krauts", so they got my personal mailing address and they constantly mailed me Iomega Zip Disks filled with photos from different wrestling events they took from all over Europe.

Running the website was a handful, but I loved it. I loved the interaction from the fans that loved the same thing that I loved. Sure you got some hate here and there, but it was pure joy being able to share something that someone from so far away had, that otherwise had no other way to share with others. I liked being that middleman. I liked being that person that was able to open that door between continents. "Hey, person in Siberia! Someone in Brazil likes the same thing that you do! Here! Look!"
But then Dave M. showed up in 1995 and started to make my hobby a nightmare.

I know that by taking in submissions from viewers, you're not always going to be getting 100% legitimate content. Sometimes people will try to pass off others work as their own. Well, if you hadn't figured it out, someone sent in a "News... NOT" submission that was a one-sentence long snippet someone took from his newsletter. That was all it took for Meltzer to declare war on my site and make my life a living hell.

Email after email he threatened to sue me for plagiarism. Even months after the archived snippet had been removed and I had sent in a heartfelt apology. It felt like it had become a game to him. It felt like his main goal was to just try to run me out of town. To weed out the competition. The competition, mind you, that was a high school kid that was doing this as a hobby for fun. Where it finally came to an end was when he emailed me and asked if I had permission to use WWF content on my website and if I didn't that he was going to report me. I never responded. A month later, I come home from my job flipping burgers and my mom is sitting at the kitchen table, scowling, with a white envelope with a WWF logo on it and a two page Cease and Desist letter from the WWF lawyers demanding that I discontinue use of their trademarked works.

That night I shut my website down.

I'm in my early 40's now and I sometimes get the urge to get back into the fun of it. Then I keep remembering that people like Dave are out there and their goal isn't about it being "fun", making it fun, or opening the doors between continents. It's nothing more than a fast hustle with a never ending supply of easy content to cash in on. Just to clarify, Dave didn't destroy my life; I'm doing just great. The only thing he took away was that passion I had for one thing that I found fun. Other than that, I still enjoy pretty much everything related to wrestling.

That sucks that he did something illegal and got caught.

No, he just made that kid change his plans.

Either that site got shut down because it wasn't "one sentence" snippets being posted from the Newsletter or it was someone else inetad threatening legal action to help shut it down.

Even in the replies that person admits it might not have been Meltzer who sent him the emails.

Yeah, that’s the joke Droford

I thought truth was in his 50s though

Maybe next Droford can post a meme explaining how Little Jimmy couldn’t have POSSIBLY existed.

The United States Championship was in pretty bad shape at one point in time.

Did anyone else forget that Big Show is a former 2-time World Heavyweight Champion?

Lots of good light Heavyweight matches, highly entertaining Bradshaw squash matches, a weird collection of jobbers like Christopher Daniels and Steve Corino. Shotgun is great. Just a little too much D.O.A.

Watching TAKA and El Pantera vs Flash Flanagan and Brian Christopher.

I agree on the mini's. I really enjoy their place in Lucha Libre. I love that AAA uses the Mini's and Exotico's to pace their cards. It's always like fun high spots, laugh, brawl, high spots, laugh, big match. I love it.

Can’t believe how long the US belt has been around for. 16 years this year.

Has to easily be the longest running design of a current title, right? I wouldn’t mind seeing an update tbf.

When the belt first came out, people HATED it. So many were clamoring for the WCW design. It’s just survived somehow. Cena had his custom for a while, but how often does a belt design stay around for 13 years? I think it might be a company record.

The Reggie IC lasted about 12 years. It’s back now, so overall it has appeared more, but I don’t think it’s had the same continued run, if you know what I mean?

Hey TPWW, Survivor participation rates are pretty low right now and it's more fun the more people play, so here's a low effort plug. JAPAN Season 4 is starting on Wednesday (Very early in the AM for the US, regular AM for Europe) and you don't need to know anything about New Japan to play, as Season 2 Winner Lock Jaw and Season 3 runner up Sixx can confirm.

Click here and pick some names you like the sound of. Cool. Thanks.

I don’t even know how Survivor works.

In addition to Shawn Michaels and the rumored Bret Hart and Jimmy Hart, there might be another two-time Hall of Famer joining the ranks:

SPOILER: show

I think it's official, Noid. Got a notification from the official Dub Dub E app.

Good for him. Kind of weird that they’re making so many people two-timers, but I guess they wan out of black people to put in.

Remember when they ran out of black people and added Christian to Team Kofi? /s

You pick two guys (one from Raw, one from Smackdown / 205 for WWE. For New Japan they are split into tiers) and if they lose a fall via pin, submission or stoppage they are eliminated from the game. There's also an activity timer so your guys have to keep working matches or they are eliminated after a period of inactivity (three weeks for WWE, six weeks for New Japan).

The game keeps going until there's only one person left and the winner gets an advantage for the following season.

Christian is such a gem.

Holy shit, I had no clue WWE jumped the shark and went all 2000 WCW with the Ronda/Becky/Charlotte stuff. I knew it was getting “too inside.” No buys. Do the kids still say that?

What’s surreal is that this is the main event. I was thinking just the other day about how weird it was that a WWE Title match at Mania featured the challenger being scared of projections on the canvas. Now the story is that everything’s fake.

I’ll give WWE a free tip, RP-style, if they want it: If you tell people that this stuff isn’t real, then there’s no point to the conflict. If there’s no point to the conflict, then there’s no point to wrestling.

Matt Koon made a tweet or something about Vince Russo getting a job with WWE. I wonder if that’s actually happened. This is straight from his playbook.

Among the myriad of issues with the whole thing is that she goes on Twitter and makes this personal video where she’s throwing around “shits” and “fucks” to drive home the point that she’s not playing by their rules anymore and they can’t do anything about it... and then she goes on live TV and has to keep it PG. It doesn’t work.

Not to mention, when you’re all done with this attempt to get people to suspend their disbelief, then what? Are you gonna start working every storyline as if it’s all real now or are people just supposed to forget this “all the conflicts are fake” storyline happened?

If they every bring back Mix Match Challenge....

For those wanting to recreate Strowman destroying cars routine with your own Strowman action figure, your in luck since WWE currently sells a toy version of the car he destroyed yesterday.
