Yer half right:

I agree about Orton, but Shoemaker still comes off as a pretentious dickbag who thinks wrestling's history began the second he started paying attention to it, and no one has the appreciation that he does. Meltzer loves wrestling and knows the history top to bottom. Not a great writer, but a great source of…

Shoemaker is a desperate, ridiculous hipster who eschews the history and likability of Pro Wrestling fandom to obsess over the minutia of Smart-mark talking points and personalities.

Shoemaker is the Pitchfork of Pro Wrestling- related self-aware, self-indulgent overanalysis, gushing over CM Punk like PF fellates Animal Collective. He talks about "Post-Modern" chairshots. Seriously. Fuck that. Give me Meltzer's non-existent proofreading every day over THAT hipster malarkey.
