Apparently someone on Twitter was bitching about ol’ Kurt Angel never getting the coveted five snowflakes from Uncle Dave and true to form, Meltzer popped up and blamed Chris Van Vliet… that charming fellow who interviews a bunch of wrestling people as well as a fellow Canadian. (He’s a Toronto native. We won’t hold that against him.)
Anyway, this stems from a clip from years ago that featured Vliet asking Meltzer about this very issue, to which Dave gives a gaslighting bullshit non-answer… and CVV pushed the issue further. And to compound this stupidity further, Meltzer claims that interview was done minutes after his son’s dog passed away… yes, Dave. Not only blame Vliet for asking a question people have been asking for years, but also blame the dog for dying. I guess the dog wasn’t a fan of AEW.
No, seriously… why do people still care about whether Kurt Angle has five stars or not? Doesn’t the scale go up to infinity? Does five stars mean anything when you can go up to infinity?
Besides, he’s no Will Ospreay and his eighteen-star matches… meh.
New review tomorrow night.
