Joseph Currier who's one of the staff members of The Wrestling Observer (WON/F4W) web page blatantly, and even showed (again) where he stole it from.
He obviously didn't 'really' look at the link he posted of where, he stole this story from.. Nothing like making it obvious by posting the evidence you stole it. Good call there Joey (sarcastic 'thumbs up').
The above screengrab shows the story, the one below will show the link on where he stole it from.
YYEEAAHH it sure doesn't look like the story now, does it. Of course it doesn't, Joeyboy stole it because he can't come up with his own stuff.
Click the to subscribe to PWInsider Elite link and it takes you here.
NOT a free site as we here at WP&P have explained in various others stories we've done when it came to their 'Elite" subscription service.
So once again Joseph Currier decided that instead of finding something on his own, he decided to use his PWInsider Elite subscription (or maybe someone else's) and steal this right from the paid site.
This isn't the first time Mr. Currier has been caught doing this, back in February we busted him for doing that exact same thing. https://wrestlingpastandpresent.blogspot.com/2026/02/wrestling-observer-journalist-caught.html
Mr. Currier is claiming to have a Degree in Journalism from the University Of Massachusetts,I'd love for Joseph to explain to me what part of that Journalism course told you stealing a story from a paid site was considered 'good journalism'? I bet if I contact the University they won't have a section like that in their course.
So now the question comes up again for Dave Scherer, who owns PWInsider and claims he runs it 'like a business'. Now that Currier has violated the terms of service for the SECOND TIME (that we're aware of), will Dave Scherer DO what he claims he'll do if they are violated, and that's suspend or cancel Currier's subscription and Joey has to forfeit what he paid. Is Scherer going to do it or, will he deflect from this and find a reason to not do it, but yet continue to whine about people stealing content from his site.
You can't have it both ways Scherer so how about making a decision and actually backing up what you claim you're going to do.
This is yet another example of why we here at WP&P don't have to rely on sites like PWInsider, Observer, and the dozen other sites that just rehash PWInsider and WON/F4W for wrestling news. We have and will continue to post stuff without ever having to rely on that because that was one of the goals when this site was first created. To do what the others don't and won't do.
A story like this? No other site will do thank us for being the only site that will continue to stories like this. Now if Currier doesn't like this being out there, there's a solution for you Joeyboy. Stop stealing stories, DDUUHHH. Hell of a concept, eh?

This was what I was talking about in a comment on another story, Bill exposing other dirtsheet writers. Nice job. You know Currier isn't going to explain himself, he can't even deny he did it, he's caught red handed. Nice job Bill.
Can't he find his own material like you guys do?
Since you're seeing this story, you already know the answer. It's obvious he can't, or is too fucking lazy to want to.
These stories just write themselves, all the evidence is right there and guys like Joseph are so blatant about it, makes you wonder (shakes head).
I contacted Dave Scherer and Mike Johnson and Dave Meltzer yesterday and showed them this story. Apparently nobody wants to talk about it and when I asked Scherer what is he going to do about this? No reply.
I guess Meltzer is okay with Joseph stealing stories, he just posted a new one on WON/f4W, so steal the story and we'll use it at WON/F4W.
Imagine that, makes you go, hhhmmmm.
Why doesn't this surprise me, it is Meltzer after all.
I saw on X you called out Dave Meltzer and his minion Bryan and neither of them have replied. Does that surprise you that Dave argues with anyone and everyone on X/Twitter, but he stays away from you every time you call him out?
No it doesn't because Meltzer and i have been round and round before and when I 'checked' him on what was said on his own website compared to what came out of his mouth, he blocked me. He may argue with ever Tom, Dick and wrestling 'mark' on X, but he knows better than to try fucking with me, he knows he'll lose every time.
I don't know if you saw or noticed, but WON/F4W and Wrestlinginc have suddenly stopped stealing content from PWInsider. they're referencing Melzer heavy, along with Fightful Select, WKRD Wrestling, something called "False Finish", anything but PWInsider now. I guess you breaking this story had am impact.
If they weren't stealing in the first place these stories would've never been done. But the laziness of today's 'journalists'.
