The fallout from Dave Meltzers appearance at SmackDown just escalatedand now Vince Russo buried the veteran journalist in a big way. After a video showed a fan harassing Dave Meltzer at ringside during the April 10 episode of SmackDown, the situation quickly moved beyond the incident itself. On April 12, Vince Russo took to Twitter and used the moment to fire back at Meltzer, referencing a past comment that questioned his success in the wrestling business. Russo first brought up Meltzers original criticism about his career, setting the stage for his response: Look at this quote from @davemeltzerWON concerning me: The guy hasnt been successful at anything on a major scale since 1999, and wasnt at the end of that year either. From there, Russo directly addressed the timeline, arguing that his longevity alone proves Meltzer wrong. He then shifted to listing his current projects, pointing to his podcast network, media appearances, and upcoming book as evidence that hes still active and relevant. After laying out his rsum, Russo turned his attention back to Meltzers presence at SmackDown, questioning how that fits into his definition of success. He doubled down on that point, challenging Meltzer directly and framing the criticism as out of touch. Russo then escalated things further by claiming Meltzers public comments are hurting his own credibility. And he wrapped it up with a final jab aimed at Meltzers appearance and he even uploaded an AI photo of himself dying Meltzers hair. What started as a fan incident involving Meltzer has now escalated into a broader back-and-forth, with Russo adding his voice and turning it into something much bigger. At this point, the conversation isnt just about one moment at SmackDownits about long-standing divides in the wrestling world that continue to resurface in moments like this.
