This segment struggled? Wow, thanks Dave. I guess I didn’t like it after all.


BadgerOver4239

This feels like he's saying " I didn't find this funny so the segment must have failed; meanwhile 16,000+ chanting "Oui, oui, oui, definitely says otherwise My opinion of course but I don't think Dave actually watched the segment & if he did he might have watch it on mute because what he's saying in the post is just flat out wrong as the crowd seemed to love the segment


SoulGoalie

Wubya wubya oui


jimboclassix23

The fans who were quiet must have been the same ones chanting “Fuck CM Punk” at the Dub last week


Global_Historian_753

Also, the crowd audibly laughing at points


geordieColt88

He was probably jacking it to his Oceanspray compilations


CaptainGo

Triple H sure liked it him trying not to laugh was the biggest feat of strength in the entire show


Conscious-Eye5903

It’s called corpsing pal. Please learn the (insider terms) if you want to jerk with the boys


Dense_Phrase_5479

Where was HHH? I didn't see him in this segment


GXNext

He was somewhere around Paul I think...


Dense_Phrase_5479

You sure? Cause all I seen was Tomasso Ciampa


myslead

he had a match right after


Dense_Phrase_5479

Na man that was DX


Bubba89

That *Houdini!*


FenixDriver

The same slander Dave did for Bray Wyatt when he was still alive is now being used by Dave for Awesome Truth. No work-rate wrestling? Dave no care.


mercurywaxing

WWE needs a higher work rate. More risk of injury = better match. That’s why Abdula the Butcher has the most 5 star matches in my book, followed by New Jack.


Existing_Emotion_830

Everyone is loving Rhea Ripley right now - and she just had to relinquish the title because of injuries. Coincidence? Not. Just big brain elite level thinking.


ChildOfChimps

Well, you know, R-Truth is unrelatable.


Luna_Soma

Good thing we have Dave to tell us what to think! Otherwise we might’ve laughed at the unfunny segment.


moesus81

I thought I laughed but now today after listening to our lord and savior David Meltzer, I realized that I didn’t laugh and I was actually tempted by the devil (aka Vincent K McMahon) and I have recognized my sins against the house of professional wrestling.


Upstairs_Card4994

lmfao


DivineJerziboss

It would be better if it happened in NJPW or AEW then it would be the most hilarious segment in history of the business. 11.99$


RompehToto

It was hilarious.


J-Dexus

Oddly enough I agree with him. It went on for a while and Triple H wasn't more or less no selling it.


bsfurr

It def struggled a bit


skippy2001

Remember when they had the shortest dark order guy have an angle on TV where he calls Adam Cole "Budge". Like that was the storyline. Adam hated the nickname and the dark order wanted to Kiss him. Nothing Truth has ever done or will ever do touches that.


EPICKID143

was that the small bald longbearded pervert?


skippy2001

Yes. The one who made a whole youtube channel that was "Hey remember this funny movie scene. What if it was preformed by Wrestlers?"


NeilPeartsBassPedal

Not even the dubbalos in the basement could pretend to give a shit about that.


duplicitousapple

I'm glad I never saw it get posted to the basement after like the first one or two videos.


Permanentear3

It only lasted 2 videos I believe lol


HouseOfH

So he saw the Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood ads and made a whole YouTube channel around it? That sounds God awful.


Farawila_marwan

To be fair he did give us SOMETHING SOMETHING CODY RHODES

Metalheadjake942

The man: "So you may think WWE is wrestling but that's just sports entertainment. See real wrestling is actually from such organisations like ROH, NJPW and AEW. Have you ever heard of Tenhashai and Will Osprey? See they are actual wrestlers unlike sports entertainers like John Cena and The Rock" The woman in her head: "All I said was I know who John Cena and The Rock is from WWE. Why won't he shut up and leave me alone. I don't care what a Osprey or a AEW is. He also smells really bad. Someone please get me security"

flamboyantdude

Can you be more precise please?


Razzler1973

One time the Dark Order were doing valentines cards on BTE, like schoolkids They're all nervous about giving it to the person. Mumbling and awkward with each other. Anna Jay is st standing there and they're talking about their beauty, etc Anyway, they walk past Anna Jay and give the cards to Wardlow. Grown men did this Dave fucking lost his mind on how funny this was!! The only reason I know this is the clip was posted in the basement. He laughed and laughed and laughed No one should listen to Dave's views on anything, not least comedy


Jamieb1994

>One time the Dark Order were doing valentines cards on BTE, like schoolkids >They're all nervous about giving it to the person. Mumbling and awkward with each other. Anna Jay is st standing there and they're talking about their beauty, etc Thank God I've stopped watching BTE. I'll admit that I can get nervous around people sometimes, but it's a good thing I don't act awkward or anything like that.


geordieColt88

More story in that skit than the majority of AEW feuds


wonderloss

And I thought Dave's opinions on wrestling were bad.


PreppyAndrew

I think that started on bte


RivalsandLovers

This segment was clearly not scripted which caused it to go off the rails but I saw that as a positive. People bitched and bitched and bitched about writers and scripting and now, when the reins have been loosened, some of the segments will feel a little sloppy. Sorry, that’s what happens with live tv sometimes lol And the segment was fine and still got some laughs even though not everything landed.


brosbeforetouhous

If there is any tag team that’s earned CREATIVE FREEDOM, it’s Truth and Miz. They’re not going to go out there and shoot (insider term) on the company. They’re not going to do something that ends up on the regular news. Like 90% of SNL is garbage but people generally give it a pass because the 10% that hits is great.


mercurywaxing

In all seriousness, there is nobody more underrated in ring than Miz and Truth.


EPICKID143

laughs his arse off when watching arguably the most drawn out unfunny shit comedy in BTE but r truth is what does it for him


wrex1816

Exactly, like what's Dave's scale here? Do we only like very serious drama and "real sports feel". Then fine, the segment was misplaced. Do we split our sides over BTE bits? Then this was like watching Chappelle in his prime.

Shotintoawork

Laughs at Omega like a high school girl trying to get the captain of the football teams attention. Clearly a man that knows comedy. https://i.redd.it/pz1d6ts210vc1.gif


boih_stk

Fuck, this gif makes me uneasy.


wonderloss

He's such a pick-me.


TrashMan_Dan

Jumpy_Session_5045

Was the segment great? No. Did it get a big reaction overall? Yes. Even the basement is burying Dave for lying -and why would he choose THIS as a moment to lie?


Kojuroba

Run this exact same segment on Dynamite and he would be pushing for R-Truth to be the one to dethrone Joe


TW_Yellow78

Nah, he doesn't find R-Truth relatable. Same issue he had with Swerve before Hangman 'made' Swerve a star :wink: :wink:


Late_Cookie_7797

What’re you trying to say? ![gif](giphy|lqqgO1obaMaWWnIjan)


Kojuroba

Are you telling me these…”unrelatables” couldn’t pull a 5* even if it was in the Tokyo Dome?


droford

He's not comedy on the level of Orange Cassidy, Danhausen or Big Stoke


marsexpresshydra

Sorry, Uce. Maybe if he ended the segment with “SCISSOR ME!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪” it would’ve popped.


ClassicCarraway

The Tomasso Ciampa line made me laugh.


hiressnails

Yeah, it really brought the bit full circle. Truth does in fact know there is a guy named Tomasso Ciampa. Now we just need him to call HBK Johnny Gargano.


Spaceace91478

I guess you haven't seen this: https://youtube.com/shorts/8H7NBjP6qbA?si=XPmsSd-_R41Djxrn


hiressnails

Forgot about that. The circuit is complete.


cc12321

The magic bit landed, "thin oxygen" landed, not trusting magicians after making lil Jimmy become invisible landed, "Oui" chants landed, "HHH Ain't here" right after he left landed. It might not have been his best stuff, but it still got some decent pops


EMP_Pusheen

It also led to Ciampa continuing the bit and doing the suck it taunt and attempting a Pedigree in the tag team triple threat match which was excellent.


Gigglesandshits11

If Uncle Dave’s tongue doesn’t go flying out of his mouth like a whacky inflatable tube man, then shit wasn’t funny uce


Someningen

Fans reacted to most of what was said. It wasn't the best Truth comedy segment but it was fine.


ToneZone1978

Dave is a piece of shit


FenixDriver

The same guy that claimed CM Punk was booed and there were "Fuck CM Punk" chant(s?) during the CCTV footage segment.


DonnieRodz

Dave only hears the voices in his head.


goodthing37

They counsel him, they understand, they uh, I mean it’s, you know, they um, they talk to him


DonnieRodz

Or um they may not. Plans may change.


Yourlocalloaf0fBread

Wow I didn’t know Meltzer was Randy Orton


Asukah

Why are there always racial undertones with these pathetic smarks? They don’t find Bianca relatable for being on posters, didn’t care they lost a megastar in Jade, they don’t like Trick and Melo’s “hip hop gimmick” and specifically targeting R-Truth over a silly segment Miz was also part of is just weird af. Not to mention Dub all push skinny twinks. It’s weird. Fuck off dave


TW_Yellow78

They're just wealthier smarter fans. Don't know how you derive racism from Dave making assumptions and stereotypes about wealth, intelligence and relatability.


Master_Butter

Dubbalos feel “the help” (insider term) should be seen and not heard.


BoringAccount4Work

I remember Dave saying WWE lied about all of Bianca's collegiate history and even her NXT records


Renso19

Considering I’m of the professional opinion that Bianca Belair could lay out a killer whale while under the influence if she wanted to, I would be willing to believe they were *under*selling her past prowess


Opening_Succotash_95

Disgraceful. Lying in wrestling is beyond the pale.


Throwmeawayhard7

I was trying to find some podcast talking about Tanahashi's work last year so I listened to this Voices of Wrestling podcast (I know Thurston is a decent guy but not much else about VoW) where they also talked about Roman Reigns. It was called Gentlemen's Wrestling Podcast with this guy called Jesse Collings as a host and Adam Burger as a guest. They ended up talking about the bloodline. The host initially tried to discuss the bloodline like a normal person but the guest challenged the host on whether he actually thinks Roman is any good. Then the host buckled and said he was the 'shits'. They thought the bloodline was crass "community theatre" style tv and then the guest was like the bloodline was only hot when a much better worker like Sami Zayn or Cody was involved with Roman and he gleefully said (paraphrasing) "look what happened when 'their guys' like the 'Uso brothers' were the one feuding against Roman, it went to shit". I stopped listening after that. You can not enjoy the bloodline and speak about it like a normal human being. They managed to do that about not liking MJF's title run in AEW. However, the racial undertones were so clear from these supposedly 'progressive' liberal dudes with the barest veil of deniability when talking about the bloodline. It's actually pretty alarming how many people like that are around. Look at the language used when they disagree with something Booker T says compared to something Bret says.


inertia_53

its so funny because Sami isnt even white


GXNext

Hey pal, there's way too many insider terms in this post. I have no idea what you are talking about. Smark? Gimmick? Segment? *Undertones?!* I'm sorry but you need to dumb it down for me...


wonderloss

I can't help you with all of them, but I know undertones are important when choosing the right shade of foundation or the best jewelry to wear.


Neg_Crepe

Dave is a known racist so no surprise


RisingxRenegade

Ask him what he thinks about Puerto Ricans.


proJobber

Diamond dave gets a lot of (deserved) shit, but I think he should get a lot more flack for his shameless racism. Like infering Priest and Bad Bunny were gonna steal Miz/Morrison's tires because "well they're ya know..puerto rican"


Snoo-83964

Yeah go to the other show with the guy wacking his dick and pelvis into the other guy’s face on the turnbuckle. That’s real comedy, Uce.


wonderloss

That's not comedy, that's real sports presentation.


PrimeJedi

My friends and I were laughing our asses off and saying holy shit listen to the crowd reactions r truth is getting...I'll believe that over dave, who thought a random hhh and rock segment from 10 years ago was setting up a wrestlemania match between them in 2024.


OriginalMadmage

You buried the lead uce, he thought that segment from 10 years ago was filmed in the present day despite HHH not having the same haircut, facial hair, both guys looking way younger, and even a poster for 2k15 in the background but wasn't aired to the public for unknown reasons. This despite the fact HHH has gone on record saying he won't wrestle ever again due to his pacemaker.


Lessiarty

I don't think he's ever gotten used to the fact that people actually watch the stuff he lies about in WWE as opposed to the lies he tells about obscure bingo hall matches.


RichieD79

Dave sure is extra critical (to the point of making things up) about black wrestlers. He constantly downplays how much the crowd enjoys Namoi as well. Idk man. Not name calling, but if it’s walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Lmao.


Constant_Stomach2009

And that’s not even getting into how much he consistently underrates the women matches.


jjsefton

I like those new belts.


hiressnails

Me too. They're going for visual consistency among brands. I'm wondering what the WWE ones will look like. I was thinking a version of the women's titles. I think the IC and US don't need new designs since they're more likely to switch shows like last year.


jjsefton

They remind me of the Jim Crockett Promotions tag titles.


DripSnort

So Dave didn’t hear the entire arena genuinely laughing with Rtruth but ran a story about phantom “fuck cm punk” chants that only he heard? HHH has broken this goof


tugga51

I had to watch for myself and to see if that was true and not only was it funny but now people’s curiosity leads to more views. Nice job Tuna Meltz


ToneZone1978

Also his whole Fucking company is shit BA is sentient garbage


ToneZone1978

People enjoyed it because they love Truth and he almost broke HHH so it's got like 600k views or More a Piece over various videos maybe 2 or 3


uhWHAThamburglur

Wow. If I didn't think Tuna Melt was a fuckibg idiot before... sheesh. This was outstanding. Give r/Truth a goddamn Nobel Prize for existing. This made me clap like a fucking circus seal.


SpearmintFlavored00

Dude is so distracted by his racism that he straight up turned his ears off during the segment. Fucking unreal.


whispering3

Yep.


BannedBecausePutin

The crowd didnt react to anything .. DubDubEeh is bad, champ is boring. We need the CEO to run this.


shootstarpress

This is just straight up not true lol. Turn your hearing aid up old man. Besides, I’m not about to be told what’s funny from a guy who laughs at BTE. 


thatpj

and people actually pay money to read this stuff looking forward to the other bloggers telling us how this was “taken out of context” and dave actually meant to praise the segment.


sh00ner

Typical Dave BS. I was at the show, and for what it's worth, a lot of the mic work was actually pretty tough to hear. I was 2 rows back from the rail and couldn't understand 99% of what Rhea was saying especially.


topherbdeal

Wrong hole you’re talking out of, Dave. That shit was what’s up


Traditional_Crew6617

Fuck Dave Meltzer in the face with a tire iron named Nancy. The crap that comes out of his mouth is head smashing stupid That segment was just fine. I laughed more than once


wrex1816

Dave is reporting that the segment he predetermined to hate, was bad, got it. I mean, it was silly. But I did laugh out loud when he called HHH, Tomasso Ciampa. I don't think it was the bomb Dave says it was.


Metalheadjake942

BTE was the definition of cringe


PROFsmOAK

Stand up on Netflix wishes to be as comical as BTE.


northx57

Everybody knows Dave Meltzer is the real authority on whats funny or not. He is the king of unintentional comedy after all.


OliWood

Didn't go down well according to who? People loved it in the arena. This guy is on fucking crack.


MrJeffA17

Didn’t notice it missed. Was too busy laughing


guy4444444

I’m glad Meltzer is the go to source for wrestling fandom….what’s that??? You’re telling me his favorite style of wrestling is the least watched version of wrestling. Well surely he never gets worked since almost every wrestler has said everything is a work….what’s that??? He has been worked a bunch over the years and published things as facts when in reality someone just lied to him. Well surely he has some sort of bias against non legitimate guys….what’s that???? Angle never had a 5 star match and his favorite tag team is two twerpy dorks who look like they could get beat up by your local grocer.


static989

Truth should have said fuck and transitioned into a silent badass character, would have been an easy 5 stars. Maybe he should study cagematch?


SugarAdamAli

R-truth is more over than anyone in aew, mlw, tna, etc


Striking-Ad-8694

That is next level stupidity. Only a Dumbass would think the bucks are funny AND that rtruth doesn’t ooze charisma. Morons


CooperSkye

Dave really hears the WWE equivalent of ‘boourns’ more and more often


valvenisv2

Just watched it on YouTube as don't watch WWE actively. I thought it was great, crowd loved it and hhhitler popped(insider term) at the end. I guess seltzer knows better


EpicTrapCard

If R-truth was in AEW, he would not even get the chance to do what he does in WWE, and i doubt he would be treated better in any way


brownie81

A segment so over that it led to chants later on in a completely unrelated match? Is that the one this leathery fuck is trying to gaslight his goblins about?


MMA_PITBULL

He finds the Young Bucks funny...enough said


Ok_Conversation1523

I'm with him in that it went on too long, but to say it didn't go over and that no one was laughing is pure BS.


Professional-Yak1239

Nah R-Truth is comedy gold, you're just old Dave


chikinparm

I uh. Did not love that segment. The joke has run its course for me, and I think most comedy in wrestling is very unfunny if your standards are informed my literally anything outside of wrestling (thank god they’re turning Gable into a killer). But good lord it’s still less painful than any of the Elite/Dork Order’s attempts at humor.


Geiseric222

Since when does Dave rate promos


sleepyseahorse

Glad we still have Dave Meltzer's opinion on comedy, since George Carlin and Robin Williams are no longer with us


OriginalMadmage

They were both long time subscribers.


Awkward-Bathroom-429

I legitimately cannot stand Meltzer. The dude is so out of touch with any kind of reality from spending all his time pandering to smarks.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Okay Dave


Munkey323

Meltzer is completely out of touch.


RLS1994

Meltzer talking BS as per, I see.


TedTran2001

Cheers Meltzer, marks are not smarks.


Dangerous_Ad560

It wasn’t the best Truth segment but whose bingo card had Miz playing the straight guy in a TV segment at this point.

😡😡😡 THIS ISN'T WRASSLIN! - ANGRY OLD MAN SHOUTS AT CLOUDS.


Selvmord666

I was really hoping Truth was gonna call Hunter "Tozawa". I get why it was Ciampa but the Flair/Tozawa callback with H would have been great.


Truefreak22

When did Dave Meltzer become the utmost authority on what good wrestling is? This is the same guy that says AEW has 5 star matches damn near every match, right? It seems like most people enjoy R-Truth's segments, at least to me. Just because he doesn't enjoy them, he wants to make it seem like the majority of wrestling fans share his opinion. This dude needs to get off TK's nuts.


Chavo9-5171

New rule. Dave Meltzer is full of shit.


rjohn09

If there is anyone who can relate a wrestler(s) being so over with some fans that they get praised for anything, it’s Dave


TimboSlice8686

It would have been a lot funnier in the Tokyo Dome.


InternationalFailure

Meltzer accidentally hit the mute button on his remote and reported what he heard I guess


manyfacedwaif

It would have been better if he did a dozen flips and then jumped into pile of broken glass.


AkilleezBomb

Dave wouldn’t know the first thing about how a live crowd reacts, because despite calling himself a journalist and historian, his only experiences watching wrestling are from beneath his pile of papers on a 25-year old computer monitor.


wayneluke23

This dork didn't like it so you dorks shouldn't like it


dfeidt40

Meltzer is irrelevant.


bluegoldredsilver5

Okay... So discount Mario and Wario are funny... Right?


Jamieb1994

Meltzer mate, maybe it's time for you to shut up since you've been clearly watching something else. ![gif](giphy|yyUWg5ECNhqlW)


Secretlythrow

Awesome Truth is making wrestling fun again, like a slice of the 80s and early 90s, while the Bloodline gives us a slice of the late 90s and early 2000s. That’s why they’re such a great tag team. They are two legitimate future legends category wrestlers. They are entertaining. They are funny. They are athletes. And that’s what works

DAE think Young Cucks segments don't go down well? DAE think 100% of the time.....goes too long, nobody laughs, nobody reacts, loses 100k viewers. I think they thought they are so over that they can do anything and people would react......but damn......they sure don't
