"I can't speak of what would have happened for WWE. He actually gets underplayed usually regarding his importance even if greatly overplayed the last two days. But pro wrestling in some form would have survived been different maybe bigger maybe not. Maybe better in a different way. There would be at least one major promotion that would have survived and likely thrived. Ali was far bigger. Not even in the same boat.

"Network television in the late 1940s but even in the 40s pre-TV you had Longson who was an all-time great draw. You don't save something very healthy.

"Look anything after the end of 2027 is not guaranteed but that's also been the case for almost every wrestling company but WWE as far as long term.

"My job is to report accurate info and I've studied both the business end and history more than a few on a worldwide basis and have learned a ton from those who devoted their lives studying such things. He was a giant draw among the biggest in history. The fact that other people were also giant stars is not a knock on Hogan. But the denial of all those people is incorrect history. Getting mad at the name Jim Londos Rikidozan Inoki George or Santo is weird. If I was in my teens or 20s or even 50s I'd read this stuff and go man I need to learn about Londos instead of getting irrationally upset" @davemeltzerWON on X 2025-07-27 19:41:06 UTC 307.5K followers, 28.1K engagements

"Hogan was a big star. The show itself drew XX million and peaked at XX but incorrect newspaper stories had XX. It was also 32nd that week in prime time something people who don't understand TV in that era don't get. In 1950 pro wrestling was No. XX on average for the entire TV season. The biggest TV wrestling star in the US was George and the biggest draws were Londos Hogan Sammartino and Longson. There are different arguments for Hogan and Londos that are too detailed for here. Rikidozan vs. Destroyer in 1963 was the single most watched show in Japanese TV history with XX million viewers and" @davemeltzerWON on X 2025-07-27 05:59:08 UTC 307.5K followers, 53.8K engagements

But if you say that about 2023 and 2024 you're delusional because I was far more complimentary of WWE BECAUSE I report on business and WWE was on fire and AEW was not. And if twitter seems different it's because the anti-AEW weirdo campaign got mad because I told them the company wasn't going out of business.

"Nope stated several factual things. You'd be delusional that if I said (which I did this week) that the WWE tapings in Houston and San Antonio sold out doesn't mean I'm an AEW enemy a WWE apologist or a lap dog for Nick Khan.

"This may include the Trump speech numbers since the CW network rating for the night was listed as 698K/0.15 and there were many markets that aired the speech and not NXT. Other West Coast markets preempted the beginning of the show. Started XX minutes into the show in NorCal. It's an abberation so rating means nothing. There is no point that a likely lower number proves and next week will likely be a very high number" @davemeltzerWON on X 2025-03-06 17:04:31 UTC 307.6K followers, 18.3K engagements
"False for sure. It sustained in Mexico after Santo. It sustained in Japan after Inoki and after MMA got started. It would have sustained in the U.S. XXX percent. Business was real popular in the early 80s and his only influence was AWA. That's just silly talk" @davemeltzerWON on X 2025-07-25 21:10:57 UTC 307.5K followers, 13.1K engagements
"Yes Rikidozan far bigger in Korea and Japan than Hogan in the U.S. but Hogan bigger in more countries. Ditto Inoki except Inoki's fame in Korea is more based on Rikidozan but he's very big culturally in Pakistan and other places but not as worldwide. Santo is gigantic in Spanish culture bigger in it than Hogan is in English culture and you'd be surprised at how vast Spanish culture is. But Hogan bigger in more places for sure" @davemeltzerWON on X 2025-07-25 20:08:07 UTC 307.6K followers, 12.3K engagements
