Dave Meltzer Discusses Absence from Dark Side of the Ring

VICE TV's Dark Side of the Ring is currently airing its seventh season, which began with a two-hour premiere focused on Jeff Jarrett and TNA Wrestling. Dave Meltzer, a prominent wrestling historian who has appeared in earlier seasons, has not been featured recently.

In a recent Wrestling Observer Radio episode, Meltzer shared his thoughts on his absence, suggesting that he should have been included in the episode about Missy Hyatt. He noted a previous experience where Eric Bischoff unexpectedly criticized him, leading him to believe he was being phased out of the show. Meltzer also expressed concern over historical inaccuracies in a specific episode regarding Hawaii's wrestling scene, which he criticized for misrepresenting key figures.
