I'm confused as to why it's perfectly fine for every other outlet to have insiders. ESPN pays Adam Shefter (NFL) and Woj (NBA) like $5M a year to do what guys like SRS do. Hollywood has that shit all the time.

That's literally what someone did in Game of Thrones I'm gonna die if they copied it

WWE did it way before game of thrones was a thing

Didn’t before WWE give different people different like story ideas or something along those lines, and only gave each one to one person? That’s how they found out who was leaking news. It’s a little bit different when it comes to who’s leaking backstage drama because well everyone should see it. But they can maybe weed out a few people if they plant a few stories with different people and see what ones get out and what ones don’t.
Tbh, I don't really know. Lol, like Chris said if they did copy G.O.T that's hilarious! I'm rewatching that series by the way. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it. However, I'm sure we all have, lol

It’s an issue when it’s the source of some problems, at least imo. Mainly when it’s the drama being leaked out. Like sure storylines, and rumored signings and all that is one thing. But if someone leak’s something to cause drama, that’s another issue.

If the guys get told it's okay to report then I don't blame then for reporting, that's not the issue here or what Blaze means. It's the talent leaking that's the issue, but it always has and will be a thing most likely

Yeah, it’s probably always going to happen. I just wish they try to get it under control. At least with backstage drama.

It's damn true.

The worst is the dirt sheets who read other dirt sheets and then makeup their own narrative based on that and then people read that and that starts spreading. It's not as bad as it used to be but very annoying.

...

Well it's not as bad with wrestling anymore...

ya the aggregators are the worst. say or feel how you want about Meltzer and SRS but at least they are reporting what they hear and not copy pasta + conjecturing other reports, that really is the worst
