I guess I should have some wrestling news in here. [2/91]
Steve Austin will be one of the top guys in the entire business before too long. [9/91]
Ric Flair is considered by many as the greatest in-ring, and for that matter, out-of-the-ring performer pro wrestling had ever seen. [9/99]
You have to remember, pro wrestling evolved from the world of carnivals. [1/91]
The line between being friends and enemies in pro wrestling is so thin it's often inperceptible. [7/98]
The ultimate truth of today's wrestling is whatever draws ratings is good. [9/98]
Many of the classic matches of the 70s wouldn't look as great by today's standards and the classic matches of the 60s would look downright bad. [4/99]
In looking at the future for the WWF and future income, it varies. [8/99]
Hopefully I'm not the slightest bit homophobic. [3/92]
Ninja Turtles beat Konan & Rey Misterio & La Fiera & Zorro de Oro. Match wasn't too bad considering how green the turtles are. I've been waiting all week to write that last sentence. [11/90]
It should come as no surprise that a lot of people don't like pro wrestling. [2/91]
Remind me if I'm ever hired to run a wrestling company not to give the guy who gives my dog obedience lessons the U.S. title. [7/99]
Obviously it's totally stupid to compare a shoot PPV with a worked one (so naturally we're going to). [8/97]
For the few of you who have come to the conclusion at this point that "Dave's sure trying to get himself over," I feel sorry for you. [1/93]
Russo is big on skits and soap operas, two qualities that WCW has been sorely lacking and clearly needs. [10/99]
I've spent eight years becoming the very best in my field. [2/91]
Pretty soon wrestlers will start hitting each other with tampons as foreign objects. [12/99]
Shawn Michaels inherited $2.5 million from a wrestling fan that he didn't know that just passed away. This is a true story. [1/96]
The vast majority of wrestling fans are guys and guys naturally hate guys who they are told are good looking. [9/95]
I've got the Soviet tape and can do the trade. [2/90]

Is there a better name in history than Pig Grease Stanklin
There is also the report of a death of pro wrestler Abe Stanklin, 96, on 11/23. He was a former carnival hooker known as Pig Grease Stanklin because he used to wrestle pigs at fairs. [12/98]
I've got the Soviet tape and can do the trade. [2/90]
Remember, @davemeltzerWON doesn't know anything about the business...

thank you meltz for ending homophobia
Hopefully I'm not the slightest bit homophobic. [3/92]
This was such an insanely progressive thing to print in 1992 where did this go Dave
Hopefully I'm not the slightest bit homophobic. [3/92]
This is occasionally true, but most great matches at the time are also great now, unless your only standard for what makes a match great is crazy moves.
Many of the classic matches of the 70s wouldn't look as great by today's standards and the classic matches of the 60s would look downright bad. [4/99]
This is wrong.

Shawn Michaels inherited $2.5 million from a wrestling fan that he didn't know that just passed away. This is a true story. [1/96]
Sometimes I wish Dave would respond to this account like El*n responds to his own quotes
There is a term that I live by. It's called never violating a source. [2/91]
900 lines seem to be a business that is here to stay. [11/93]
this is truly the stuff we must preserve, for Wrestling History
Expect a new babyface to debut in February but don't know who. [1/95]
Dave was likely right, I assume some where in February of 1995 a new babyface debuted somewhere.
