Scroby, I agree with you in theory, but there is a major flaw in that design. Credibility is built up over time, and Meltzer has that credibility. You know what D'Lo says is true because it comes from you. However, those who do not know you will equate you with the thousands of others on the internet who make false stories just to be quoted. If you broke several news stories in a row due to your sources, you would gain credibility and thus be given the benefit of the doubt over time. Meltzer is the number one relater of news from sources in the industry, so he is given the benefit of the doubt. If he starts making things up constantly that don't pan out, he loses credibility and doesn't sell as many newsletters.
I have read enough books and watched enough shoot interviews from wrestlers to know that they contradict each others' stories and go into business for themselves and toe the company line when they want or are told. For me, that makes it hard to believe what some of them might say when they come right out and say it in a book that is published by the company they work for. Some of the more accurate stories are going to come from those who can pass news anonymously without repercussions from the company. It's not always that way, however.
