[10]
[11] 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.

[13]
[14] Scherer later recused himself from covering ECW and helped the company in various capacities while still reporting with independent publications.
[15]
[16] PWInsider is one of the most popular pro wrestling news websites
[17] and has been cited by
CBS Sports as perhaps the most trusted source for wrestling news, despite Scherer not being a traditionally trained journalist,
[18] 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.
