Dave Scherer

Scherer played an important part in making Extreme Championship Wrestling noticed in the early 1990s through tape trading and gained a cult following among the hardcore ECW fans at the time when he appeared at the promotions shows. Scherer later recused himself from covering ECW and helped the company in various capacities while still reporting with independent publications. PWInsider is one of the most popular pro wrestling news websites, and has been cited by CBS Sports as perhaps the most trusted source for wrestling news, despite Scherer not being a traditionally trained journalist. The site has also been criticized for its liberal use of advertising, many of which are pop-ups, which has been blamed on Scherer.
