Does Dave Meltzer Have a Burner Account?

Pictured: Meltzer when thinking about all the arguments he'll win on Twitter thanks to his burner account

Twitter is a wild place sometimes. People get owned, do nasty stunts, or even type dumb shit and press send, causing a firestorm of backlash. Speaking of which, what's up, Lio Rush! Anyway, the funniest development lately has been the emergence of stars using burner accounts, or dummy accounts that you make for yourself for various reasons. National Basketball Association superstar Kevin Durant was recently outed as using a burner account to defend his honor and praise himself. Durant is undoubtedly one of the top five players in the league, but few people really see that over his overarching penchant for being really goddamn corny. The burner account thing is the latest and one of the biggest pieces of evidence towards that.

So, who in wrestling would be the most hilarious person to possibly have a burner account? Dave Meltzer would have to be really high on that list, wouldn't he? He has a penchant for arguing with people, both on the level with him but mostly below him in terms of influence and follower counts. His go-to demeanor on Twitter is dismissive in nature. He's OBSESSED with winning arguments, especially in subjective areas. So when this tweet pops up...

An intelligent person reading this would conclude Dave talks to WWE almost every day and they haven't gotten back to him today. https://t.co/RtYpE9KJY8

...you have to wonder if Meltzer forgot to log out of the main account to make that tweet.

Of course, plausible deniability can come into play as maybe Meltzer was tweeting like The Rock used to cut promos. Or maybe he was making some arcane reference to a past star with that kind of reference. His knowledge of wrestling history is encyclopedic, and I'm not sure anyone comes close to him outside of a few people I can think of. However, this absolutely smells like Meltzer has a sock puppet somewhere that he uses to buttress his own arguments. Occam's Razor cuts towards this outcome as most probable. Well, that or Meltzer suffering a stroke or a hemorrhage, but he continued to tweet afterwards.

The question then becomes what his burner account could be? Meltzer isn't the kind of person that would be smart enough in covering his tracks to pick a name that would hide himself well. My guess is it would be something referencing "six stars" or "Meltzer fan." Who knows, except for the fact that this, if it is the case, is the funniest development to happen in wrestling Twitter in a long, long time.
