In case anyone still takes Dave Meltzer seriously at all, you probably shouldn't.
Dave Meltzer has had some questionable takes in recent years. Also, he tends to report backstage news that is dubious in its source. If it doesn't come true, he will just say plans changed. But, this time he kind of got caught with his pants down a bit.
Dave Meltzer recently reported on a backstage segment where Triple H and the Rock got in each others faces, and teased a possible Wrestlemania match between them. This was puzzling and nobody seemed to recall such a segment on TV or anywhere on the internets.
The segment in question was apparently one from Smackdown in TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN with HHH and the Rock. It seems that this was the segment he was referring to and he thought it happened today. And, I mean... the Rock has aged reasonably well, but that was 2014.
This calls into question how critically Meltzer is evaluating tips and sources he hears. There are also a number of other things he's gotten blatantly wrong here, such as a supposed ban on non-CMLL Mexican wrestlers in AEW on any show where CMLL talents are used, Tommy Dreamer becoming the head of TNA creative, and other stuff.
It's always been best to take what Dave said with a grain of salt, but maybe it would be better to use a whole packet these days.
