Lane points out that Wrestling Observer’ Dave Meltzer sent out a tweet this past week, mentioning that he was 8th in names searched online throughout WrestleMania weekend, just behind names such as Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Russo and Lane believe this statement to be true and that’s what makes it so sad. Russo also points out that after all these years Meltzer still has to pat himself on the back publicly, which is too bad.
At another point last week Meltzer was discussing the mixed tag match from WrestleMania. He said that while he was watching that match he was coming up with spot ideas for each performer, and the performers actually ended up doing basically every spot he thought of. Russo wonders why Meltzer can’t just sit back and enjoy the show like regular people, instead of trying to book everything he watches.
Wrestling Observer’s Bryan Alvarez mentioned on an audio show last week that he actually walked past Okada one day during his time in New Orleans. Nobody seemed to recognize Okada as he was walking alone without any public interference. Russo says of course nobody recognized Okada, adding that he could run into Okada in the men’s room and he wouldn’t know who he was. Russo assumes Alvarez definitely ran up to Okada and asked for autograph like a mark.
