* Perhaps the biggest Big Name Fan in ProfessionalWrestling, however, is Dave Meltzer, author and publisher of the ''Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter'', the original SmartMark newsletter. Others include Wade Keller (of the ''Pro Wrestling Torch'', another popular newsletter), Bob Ryder (who made the transition from BNF to wrestling insider when he took a job with WCW), Scott Keith, Christopher Robin Zimmerman, and Chris Hyatte. Unlike most other entertainment companies, wrestling promotions (with the exceptions of the aforementioned ECW and Ring of Honor) tend to ''hate'' those [=BNFs=] who write on the subject with a passion, since they have a distinct tendency to pull back the curtain on {{Kayfabe}} (the late promoter Herb Abrams went so far as to feature a wrestler named Davey "The Observer" Meltzer on his UWF tv program; needless to say, "Meltzer" suffered defeat and humiliation). RD Reynolds and Blade Braxton of WrestleCrap also have a fairly large online following, although both have been involved in independent pro wrestling, and they also tend to take a comically self-deprecating view of their importance as [=BNFs=] (Blade's insistence that he had a brief affair with Amy "Lita" Dumas after meeting her once at a car show, for example).
