Wrestling Journalist Dave Meltzer is catching some major heat over some remarks made about Peyton Royce’s looks.
On Twitter today, a user uploaded some audio from the August 9th edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer and co-host Bryan Alvarez discussed The IIconics, specifically Peyton Royce's look. Meltzer made some comments about Royce’s appearance in comparison to her NXT days. The IIconics star reportedly got breast enhancements done several months ago.
Thanks to wrestlinginc.com, here's the actual text below:
Meltzer: I thought they had a cool act in NXT and on the main roster I don't get a thing out of them. I don't think their promos are particularly good, their wrestling isn't good. I think they even like... I think Peyton Royce's transformation to look more attractive... I don't know, I don't want to say. But I don't think that...
Alvarez: That they were more attractive in NXT?
Meltzer: I thought so, yes. To me, yes. I would say so. But that's neither here nor there.
Alvarez: No one's saying she's unattractive, by the way, everybody.
Meltzer: I know, no s--t. Yeah, I didn't say it at all. But she doesn't stand out to me... when she was in NXT she did... she was a lot lighter.
