Dave Scherer is an American sports writer and journalist, best known for writing about professional wrestling for the ECW Magazine, New York Daily News, World of Wrestling Magazine, 1Wrestling.com and founding the newsletter The Wrestling Lariat in 1995 which became one of the most popular wrestling publications in the 90s, and founding the website PWInsider.com, which he created in 2004 when he left 1Wrestling together with several other reporters. Scherer played an important part in making Extreme Championship Wrestling noticed in the early 90s 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 worked for ECW 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, but the site has also been criticized for its liberal use of advertising, many of which are pop-ups, which has been blamed on Scherer.
