“I’m Tired”: Legendary Wrestling Journalist Speaks Out After Being Accused of AEW Bias by Fans Regularly

WWE and AEW are at loggerheads more often than not defending and arguing about the product of their favorite wrestling promotion. As such the opinion of a veteran journalist like Dave Meltzer carries immense value among the fans. Meltzer who has been associated with the business for nearly 40 years has been a respected name but recently found himself surrounded by accusations of being biased toward AEW.

Fans have accused Meltzer of favoring AEW over WWE ever since the Jacksonville-based promotion gained prominence in the North American pro wrestling scene. Finally, the journo chose to speak out after another fan blamed him for his “AEW bias.”

Dave Meltzer spoke for himself

During an ongoing discussion on X, a fan brought up how at times in AEW wrestlers have competed with injuries. which can be dangerous, to this another user replied that doctors clear the wrestlers before a match. This led to another thread of discussion where the person who started the discussion mentioned that AEW doctors allowed Matt Hardy to continue to wrestle after suffering a concussion. This led to Dave Meltzer’s response where he cited something similar from WWE, writing, “Please, Ricochet got a concussion in a match just a few weeks ago and wrestled ten more minutes. S**t happens in every company. You can say they both are good or they both suck, but you can’t say one is good and the other is bad on that front.”

This prompted another user to reply to Meltzer, “Anyone else tired of Dave and his aew bias?” Not to shy away the journalist was quick to dismiss the notion. He replied, “I’m tired of people who don’t even read or comprehend saying AEW bias when I examine business and WWE has been doing better overall as I point out every single week. Geez, ratings, attendances, advances, all covered every single week.”

Well, looking at the thread that he frequently organizes on X, it seems that he has had enough.
