Vince McMahon Once Told Off WWE Writers For Pandering To Dave Meltzer
Vince McMahon is no fan of Dave Meltzers.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is one of the longest tenured journalists in professional wrestling. He has drawn the ire of many fans in the past, but has maintained a steady place in wrestling fans minds as a source of news.
While speaking on Cheap Heat Productions Podcast ex-WWE magazine writer Brian Solomon recalled Vince McMahon referencing Meltzer. He told off writers for trying to impress Meltzer.
“We wanted to do the greatest steel cage matches ever, and he goes, ‘Boy, you guys really need to take your heads out of Dave Meltzer’s ass.’ I’m terrified, of course, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I’m like 30 years old, whatever it is, I’m just trying to feed my kids, and this crazy billionaire and his whims.”
“There would be other times when he’d be totally agreeable and nice and warm, talk to me about his family, his kids, his father, tell me these stories about when he was a kid and the things that he saw.”

Of course, this is nothing new for fans as Vince McMahon is not like other bosses.
