Sure, Dave Meltzer is almost comically bad at maintaining a coherent line of thought from time to time, but Dave's forte does not lie in the realm of speaking. Dave is an historian at his core, and he actually does present a massive quantity of information well from time to time. Some people just require some organization of their thoughts; I understand why Dave's mannerisms irk so many, but in all honesty it doesn't irritate me like Bryan Alvarez's standard commentary. While Bryan was a professional wrestler, I've never felt that Bryan's wrestling background lends any insight into his rants. So often, Bryan hates everything he watches. Sure, it might be more entertaining to dial up one's opinions beyond what they reasonably might be, but Bryan is sure to capture the je ne sais quoi of the jaded and cynical wrestling "fan." Too often with Dave, he just agrees with Dave and then, on an Observer Live, decides to lambaste the things that Dave already states were positive. Bryan just utterly dislikes everything and thinks everyone is a "geek." If someone ever goes over, the other person is clearly worthless and jobbed out completely and can never be salvaged. It doesn't help that guys like Vinny come along and serve as Yes Men to Bryan. Too often, Bryan is propped up in bizarre opinions because his cronies only reinforce his bad habits. When Dave likes something, he may not emote as much as some would wish, but he clearly has a true passion for the business and just wants to see the workers succeed and have safe and productive careers. I'm not sure what Bryan wants. Somewhere along the line, it stopped being fun for him and started being a job. That said, I enjoy his old Nitro reviews and listen to them every week because his current schtick is to hate current product and only enjoy old shit, so from a retro review standpoint, I can much more easily set down and appreciate shows from a historical perspective. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:898213102] in Scarlet Ra...
