Is that guy talking about Orange Cassidy like he’s going to imminently stop taking indie bookings meaningful, or is he just some dude speculating he’s going to go to AEW/assuming he has because he was in the Battle Royale?

Dude is absolutely a genderless term.
I beat that drum for a long time; that dude should be non-gendered. But South Park trying to reclaim the F-bomb as an insult doesn't make it any less a thing people shout at queer people while they're murdering them.

"She's actually a dude" is a sentiment that gets a lot of trans people killed, so maybe just give up on reclaiming it. It's gendered. And I'm trans, and I asked you not to call me that. So I'm asking that maybe instead of insisting that I'm wrong for not wanting to be called a dude, you could just reevaluate what seems to you to be harmless in the face of me telling you it's harmful.

Thank you for listening either way.

Discovered an enclave of Twitter users who dedicate their lives to catching Alvarez and Meltz in trips, posting out of context clips from their shows. The likes of wiretap, meltzsaidwhat and vcr-wrestling. Can't think of anything sadder tbh. Not particularly entertaining either.

My favorite bad Twitter user is @GrapplerX. Just loving terrible takes up & down his timeline, plus the retweets of totally-not puppet accounts. Constantly up in Alvarez's replies, too.

Oh yeah. Whole lotta mentally ill folk on Twitter obsessed with Meltzer and Alvarez. I think they're even more pathetic than wrestler role play accounts because at least those people seem to be having fun.

the ones that go after bryan are even wilder since he's pretty vocal about just muting instead of blocking so you're just screaming into a void. dave at least replies to every 10 follower egg account he can

Yeah I feel bad for Dave sometimes. He really takes his job seriously, unlike everyone else in that industry. All he wants to do is spread the news/truth. I’ve died on that hill myself in the past when I worked in journalism, granted there is a huge difference between newsgroups and forums in the 90s and early 00s and Twitter now.

I don't see the harm. Better people listen to an audio clip than a written biased account of what either said. Both can be sloppy and make mistakes that they shouldn't. Bryan delves into hyperbole too much when offering news and he simply shouldn't be trusted sources wise.

I dislike people who should know better who play gotcha with his words when he records audio at 2am and actually know that the wording in the Observer Newsletter is the definitive and considered account rather than the work in progress/stream of conscious version on audio.

The observer is a product that requires a paid sub, as are many of the audio shows. Not only are they posting clips of stuff out of context, but they are stealing from Dave's pocket while riling up folks and trying to get them to harass Dave.

There's also people who post huge screenshots of the observer on twitter as soon as it comes out.

SCOOP THIEVES! Dishonorable and shameful. Just because no one will pay them for scoops doesn't give them allowance to steal from the premiere scoopsmen.

But I didn't do that. I said apparently that was the case and said I heard it from someone else. If I knew for a fact I'd state so.

I am not a paid reporter either. However I do get more stories right than Alvarez and have correctly contradicting his stories many times.

I don't follow these accounts but when they get tweeted into my timeline I don't find them to be out of context to be honest.

I call out inaccurate written synopsises often. It is a fun dunk to do.

Anyway Bryan and Dave aren't above criticism. Bryan, Lance Storm, Bruce Mitchell, Wade Kellter and Todd Martin have all recently made fun of Meltzer's Twitter account.

The F4W forum's attacks on non-F4W journalists are much worse than what VCR Wrestling and WhatMeltzerSays accounts do in my opinion. Meltzer often eggs on those attacks too.

Let's go back to posting about wrestlers on social media. For instance, here's Drake Maverick doing his best to make an entertaining storyline that WWE should really incorporate on television:

This is the kind of fun thing he'd do in TNA because there was no budget for anything like that so you'd have to put your own efforts in. He probably prefers it this way, at least he's not pissing himself now. He should get EC3 in on it too to stop him seething.
