Dave Meltzer says WWE once tried to recruit himright after Monday Night RAWs ratings slipped below the 4.0 mark.
The longtime Wrestling Observer journalist shared the story during the November 1st edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, and he claims the call came at a critical moment for WWEs creative direction. According to Meltzer, it all started when the shows numbers dropped below a key threshold, sparking a phone call from WWE executive Ed Cohen.
Meltzer made it clear he had zero desire to cross over into WWEs system. Despite the offer and likely solid compensation, he says he never considered it a real option.
He also claimed that WWE reached out to Bryan Alvarez through him, hoping Alvarez would join the creative team due to his reputation for humor and ideas. That offer didnt go far either.
Meltzer didnt speculate whether Vince McMahon was behind the move, but he strongly implied that Cohens outreach was likely not self-initiated. The anecdote paints a picture of WWE being desperate enough to consider unconventional hires when the shows momentum started slipping.
