Now, to be clear here, I'm not publishing e-mails from Mr. Scherer, because he has made it clear that any e-mails sent from him do not have permission to be published on this site under threat of legal action. Even though it's been clearly established that people who e-mail me can reasonably have the expectation of having their e-mails published. But just to summarize today's events without publication involved:
- Dave e-mails me with threats of legal action if Brian publishes e-mails from him.
- I tell Dave to blow it out his ass and leave me out of it. That's a quote, by the way.
- Dave responds with more legal threats, plus some unwarranted personal attacks against me and Brian. Apparently I've always been a freak.
Given I haven't even spoken to Dave since 1995 I don't even know what his issue is anymore (and he hasn't produced any evidence of what was "stolen" in the first place) I can only presume he's gone off the deep end. So go subscribe to his site, everyone!
Apparently, his witty name for me is "Dork Loser."
ReplyDeleteHe is far too narcissistic to realize how bad he is coming off right now.
And the reason for the threat of lawsuit with the emails is because he will look AWFUL if they were released
ReplyDeleteIf you could sue over Scott publishing e-mails, than Caliber should get his lawyer on the phone
ReplyDelete"That'll put some butts in the seats"
ReplyDeleteOf course the guy has gone off the deep end. Look at his Twitter avatar, for God's sake. He makes the Unabomber look like Pope Francis.
ReplyDeleteAgain, if he emails you, he gives up protection. He has zero legal recourse.
ReplyDeleteMaybe common sense says you shouldn't have told him you were going to release them.
ReplyDeleteHe is a lunatic and a bully to people who are not intimidated by him.
ReplyDeleteJust giving it right back to him
But it sounds so close to Brock Lesnar, so that's a plus.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Caliber get into the mix on this one
ReplyDeleteI'd say release them, I'd make for a funny episode of Judge Judy.
ReplyDeleteI want to See Caliber in a twitter war with Scherer, I'd be pulling for Caliber.
ReplyDeleteForget WWE.
ReplyDeleteForget TNA.
Hell, forget NXT.
THIS is where the real action is these days. This shit is gold.
The popcorn is ready.
ReplyDeleteI demand I call you that after I finally get my coffee.
ReplyDelete(In reality, I'm actually drinking one right now for the first time in two years because it was free, I'm so going to regret this later tonight)
You got that right.
ReplyDeleteHere is the list
1. Farva's death
2. Scherer feud
3. Caliber blowout.
This whole thing is real, huh? Shakes me head.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it's hilarious that Scott suggests subscribing to Dave's site after all this. The last thing I'm gonna do is support this insane asshole.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited.....
ReplyDeleteAnybody know why Dave Scherer seems to have some sort of disdain for Scott? I don't think I even remember Scott saying anything bad about the guy.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand how this is any different than PWInsider and other sites posting literally ALL of the Wrestling Observer.
ReplyDeleteJust having checked with my (almost) lawyer girlfriend, and she confirmed - There's no cause of action Dave may have and no expectation of privacy in an email between two individuals (no attorney-client, doctor-patient or any other privilege exists). So All of Dave's threats of legal action? All bark, absolutely no bite.
ReplyDeleteHe can threaten legal action all he wants, but any judge would laugh him and his creepy ass dog out of the courtroom.
Don't forget Meekin's botched blowout.
ReplyDeleteSarcasm. Scott is good at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a sad dog really.
ReplyDeleteScott, let me know if you want me to tell Scherer to: "Go away."
ReplyDelete4. Meekin's botched blowout.
ReplyDeleteI seem to recall Scott saying it dates back to Scott's general distaste or even hatred for ECW. And Big Dave basically hating Scott since then because of that.
ReplyDeleteYeah, all Scherer.
ReplyDeleteWhatever. He's fucking creepy, then.
ReplyDeleteJust read his Twitter timeline...the guy doesn't seem all there to me. Take all of this silly nonsense with a grain of salt.
ReplyDeleteScott he has zero ground to stand on for any kind of legal threat. The BoD update is easily covered by fair use and the email thing is a joke. You have no expectation of privacy in sending out a crazy ass rant to someone by email. Even still I can see why you would want to avoid a pissing contest with some lunatic.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone who hasn't seen the emails wants to read them just say so and give you address and I'll forward them to you unless someone else beats me to it.
I feel like it may be his stock in trade.
ReplyDeleteFuck, I love Scott.
ReplyDeleteno homo
ReplyDeleteEcw
ReplyDeleterec.sport.pro-wrestling explodes!
ReplyDeleteHear all the dirt they DON'T want you to know at alt.fan.don.no-soul.simmons!
Scherer's pants are in a knot because there's not enough advertising on this website. You can't possibly spread sheet news without having people pay 10 dollars a month to avoid ads.
ReplyDeleteScherer was one of the "mutants", Scott loved tweaking them endlessly.
ReplyDeleteOOOH! steven.ferrari@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that Dave Meltzer is sane.
ReplyDeleteOn the way
ReplyDeleteI'm going to send you an email to ask about forwarding them.
ReplyDeletenick_piers@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI must see this!
I always liked you, regardless of what anyone else here says about you.
ReplyDelete"Break his leg, Sheik"
ReplyDeleteReport: Former WWE Name Released Today Backstage at TNA NYC Taping
ReplyDeleteMaybe he wants you to be a freak...
ReplyDelete...in bed.
"Break his dog, WCW1987."
ReplyDeleteFeels more... (in)appropriate.
It all goes back to post 18316 on rec.sport.pro-wrestling in 1994.
ReplyDeleteA day that will live in infamy.
Allegedly.
ReplyDeleteAccording to his Twitter, Bayless has been publishing news from his site without consent. That is illegal and he would have grounds to sue. The email thing is different.
ReplyDeleteIt is like if I reprinted news from behind the Wall Street Journal paywall on my site without paying them for it. It is copyrighted information and they could sue me.
I thought that was a shoot blowout?
ReplyDeleteHe is only threatening to sue for the emails
ReplyDeleteDAURK LOUZZZZAR!
ReplyDeleteAsk and he shall recieve
ReplyDeleteExcept Scherer is taking that news first from Meltzer.
ReplyDeleteThe consent thing got Bayless banned from the Elite account, as per the terms of service. There's nothing else he can do.
ReplyDeleteThat's not really what Bayless is doing. He is saying what his site reported, but giving him full credit
ReplyDeleteI figured I got Caliber to leave with the two magic words, maybe it'll work a second time? He's a grown adult acting like he bought a pack of Pokemon cards and Brian took an energy card from it.
ReplyDeleteNo, you cannot own facts, or rumours presented as fact, only your own description of them.
ReplyDeleteOh. That makes no sense at all then.
ReplyDeleteIts because Meltzer watches everything and does not have the time to send empty legal threats via email
ReplyDeleteIt was a shoot made to look like a botched shoot. Except that shoot was botched, so it turned more into a shoot.
ReplyDeleteSure! Kylelitke@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThat too.
ReplyDeleteWell, it makes sense since he's crazy.
ReplyDeleteShoot him over, jobber... justinr@placetobenation.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
jeremy.woodard1@gmail.com if you weeeeel
ReplyDeleteCompletely incorrect. What Bayless did is 100% covered under fair use
ReplyDeleteYou can't copyright news.
ReplyDeleteI may keep people from directly quoting my saying that "The sun blazed down on the scorched earth as the thermometer hit 92 degrees today!", but I can't stop people from saying "Zanatude said it was sunny and 92."
Scherer was, is and always will be a hack.
ReplyDeleteThat poor poor dog.....
ReplyDeleteBoom!
ReplyDeletebriankc1981@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteYou got the email?
ReplyDeleteYeah, dude. Chill. I was reading.
ReplyDeleteI'M AFRAID I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the "Don't forget your scissors" of BoD shoots
ReplyDeletekjacobson56@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAn email exchange between you and someone else is legally YOUR property. You are free to do with them what you want - just as with regular mail. There is no expectation of privacy once something is placed in print and mailed off to someone else, and the same rule applies to email exchanges.
ReplyDeleteDave Scherer: "If ANYBODY is going to make money off of my rambling idiotic emails it's gonna be me"
ReplyDeleteOk ok.
ReplyDelete:stops hovering:
El done-O
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the emails are covered in spyware.......
ReplyDeleteJgorny23@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSweet, thanks.
ReplyDeleteAnd Brian. You guys rock.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, Scherer goes after PTB, too. That should be tons of fun!
ReplyDelete[citation needed]
ReplyDeleteNah...I'm gonna experiment with taking the high road.
ReplyDeletescherer claims that scott's site is a "for profit" site since it has ads
ReplyDeletegrasping at straws, or is that a legit statement?
Yeah he seems to forget that part.
ReplyDeleteLet's go remind him on twitter.
what if it's news about how the network is going to fail miserably?
ReplyDeleteScott does make some money from the site, but it's petty cash at best, I imagine. He still has a full-time job.
