Fuuuuckkk...

Well, suppose our only happiness about WM (seeing WWE get horrible results for a bad build/show) is out the window.

 

[Lockard 23]

I'm hoping Rock really doesn't wrestle again now because we're sure to get Rock/Cena III next year if he does.

 

[Crayo]

So who was it who said Meltzer is normally good with numbers? KLockard23

Fuck you Meltzer, and fuck casuals.

 

[Lockard 23]

I'm pretty sure he wasn't the only one who reported that.

The word 'normally' means what it means for a reason. And 'early numbers' are called the early numbers for a reason, too.

 

[Crayo]

Meltzer is normally the only dirt sheet to report numbers. The one posted here, was from Meltzer, and yet again he is wrong.

 

[Lockard 23]

EARLY NUMBERS. I knew not to be too optimistic just yet before the final numbers came out. I was, and am left disappointing about the final buy rate as well. And even now, the numbers could be higher than they are now.

Defending Meltzer? ity1:

 

[Lockard 23]

He's not as bad as people make him out to be. I'm still no fan of his, of course.

 

[Farooq]

Im a fan of Meltzer but at the same time I do not like him, so I can be a fan of his, but I might not be as well.

 

[Lockard 23]

You can defend someone without being a fan of them. I give guys like Hogan, Cena and others that I don't care for their due, even though I've never been a fan of theirs. I don't give Meltzer extra slack because I don't think he's any worse than the grand majority of the dirt sheet writers. But it's not like I purposefully seek out his opinions or reports on things either.

You clearly didn't get Farooq's joke, lmao.

I assumed it was directed towards me and completely misinterpreted what I was saying.
