You may want to ask him about the TUF format as well. Isn’t Meltzer a looooong time pro wrestling reporter as well? From what I understand, he likes the TUF antics and over the top promoting. Your call; depends on what direction you want the conversation to run.

Meltzer is...
THE MAN when it comes to pro wrestling reporting. He is great at what he does with pro wrestling and is becoming pretty great with MMA stuff also.

He thought Junie should be kicked off, but he also recognizes the need for characters in a sport where PPV is the bottom line.

Listening on podcast – nice work on ‘Jim the podcast guy’ :) I’m one of those junkies who HATES having to wait 4+ days to catch these interviews.

![A little publicity for me today in the Washington City Paper. To wit:
But listening to Kinard, it sounds like management has decided Thomas can transcend his surroundings.
"We thought we’d experiment with some different kinds of shows last year, and of all of them, MMA Nation is the only one that lasted," Kinard says. "I wasn’t aware of anybody else doing [an MMA show]. And [in April] he outperformed our normal weekend ratings by more than double. We started out thinking this has the potential to be a nationally syndicated show, and that’s still our plan. You see MMA all over the place on TV, so why not on the radio?"
I hate to be over the top with the self-promotion, but no one is going to hand me the job and career I'm after. I want to work in MMA full time and the fact is I have to make it happen for myself. Thank you to everyone who has ever shown me an ounce of support towards the pursuit of that dream.
Onward and upward.](http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/54844/1244671916_m_cheap-1_small.jpg)
