* AccentuateTheNegative: At times it seems like he defends WWE more so than he is given credit for. (Alvarez on the other hand...) The Dave Meltzer you read about on Twitter and in clickbait headlines seems wildly different to the Meltzer you listen to on the podcast.

* BubbleBoy: Figuratively. Bryan is constantly accused of living in a wrestling/MMA bubble and has little to no knowledge of the goings on of the world outside it. Even Dave, who has reportedly spent up to 20 hours a day working during busier seasons, has time to go out with his family or watch other television (such as Series/{{Dallas}}).

* ConspiracyTheorist: Bryan is fascinated with these, along with cryptozoology, [=UFOs=], etc. In one of the odder parts of the website (where every other podcast has at least some connection to MMA and wrestling), he hosts an irregular "After Dark" show dedicated to them.
