Tuesday must not have been a good day for John Bradshaw Layfield. The former WWE commentator took to Twitter in a multi-tweet rant on The Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer. JBL claimed that “we” laughed at news sites and would feed bogus info to Meltzer in order to swerve the fans. The timing of that statement is odd considering that Meltzer has broken thousands of stories since he started the newsletter. In fact, two of the biggest stories of 2018 so far (Ronda Rousey signing with WWE, Daniel Bryan’s health situation and being cleared) were stories that Meltzer covered in depth for months and they turned out to be true. Meltzer has known people on all levels of the wrestling business for many years and that includes Vince McMahon.
Anyway, it’s not clear what JBL is angry about but it sure seems like something has gotten under his skin.
Meltzer was such a great asset for WWE, he was so wrong and so easily manipulated that he was perfect to feed bogus info to in order to swerve the fans. He should have been on the payroll, how anyone still follows him is amazing.

We not only laughed about how wrong these ‘news’ sites were, we fed them bogus info they always jumped on in order to swerve the fans. Hard to believe anyone still pays attention to these guys. https://t.co/p6Q721ZKP0

I respectfully disagree, I think both guys do a great job. I’m talking about these bogus internet sites/which is most of them. Sam and Peter are on the inside and have real info. https://t.co/niudo1MOfd
