Finally, the real ratings. Who cares about tv ratings or attendance, all we care about is Meltzer stars

Was Kazuchika Okada vs. Pac really as good as Cody vs Roman?

7 for one of the Okada/Omega matches iirc

No, it was better

answers from people who don't live on planet retard only
>>
Do you think Tony brings up the meltzerino stars when he's negotiating the tv deals?
>>
>>14422486
7 stars for Omega vs Okada 2 out of 3 falls.
6.5 makes it the second best match ever in his opinion.
>>
Do you think that Dave even believes these? Or is he just doing it for the reactions?
>>
>>14422523
It's confirmed he uses cagematch ratings which are even less meaningful so I'm sure
>>
In hindsight, Dave must regret breaking his scale
>>
He likes that Toni/Rosa match better than most
>>
>>14422535
Meltzer has been engagement trolling ever since 2016.
>>
>>14422535
Of course not, but he needs AEW to succeed as it’s literally built to cater to his taste, and it failing proves his ideas about professional wrestling don’t draw.

I didn't see the show, but was that Jericho match terrible? That appalling Adam Cole match got 3.25 too.

>according to meltzer, every match on this card other than the Julia Hart one was better than Rock vs Hogan
>>
>>14422638
Yeah what is even the point of the rating system at that point? Five out of five is perfection, it can't be any better. So what does six stars even mean?
>>
>>14422640
he's right
>>
>>14422640
At this point he's just rating these things like it's a Tony Hawk or DMC run, just keep doing combos to get a big score. Guy probably has some multiplier going up in his brain and if there's a botch, the combo ends. Nothing to do with if it's actually a good match
>>
>>14422638
Giving half points was always stupid. What's the difference between a 2.5 and a 2.25? You use a 5 point system because it's easy to follow. 1 is garbage, 2 is below average, 3 is average, 4 is above average, and 5 is amazing. It's that easy. Dipshit meltzer making things too complicated for no reason.
>>
>>14422663
yeah people will for sure still be talking about Toni Storm vs thunder Rosa 20 years from now
>>
>>14422684
people in your neighborhood will still be talking about how the fire department had to knock down a wall of your house to extricate your morbidly obese corpse 20 years from now
>>
>>14422638
Its a 4 star scale sweetie not 5
>>
>>14422640
Meltzer doesn't know what good professional wrestling looks like
>>
>>14422763
Your and idiot. Just because some kike movie reviewer gave 4 stars. Go suck some circumcised Jewish dick
>>
It was a great match, but second greatest match of all time???
>>
>>14422490
I also felt that way.
>>14422535
Do you really think he believes the dogshit Jericho Hook match was better than Rock Hogan? There is no actual way to explain how it would be better in any way. The crowd was chanting for one of them to retire, most of it was awkward to watch, and it had business exposing botches as well as a flat finish and shit build.
>>
>>14422466
crazy how this guy is just getting started and literally putting better matches then kurt angle EVER did ...on a weekly basis...6 star bangers every month guys. i think the rushmore of wrestling already is rock/hogan/flair/ospreay

It’s crazy how apparently from 2017 to now we’re in the greatest era of professional wrestling even though no one is watching

Rock Hogan was also dog shit and had more botches

sorry you don't know anything about pro wrestling :(

>>14422850
It’s literally the greatest professional wrestling match of all time. If you do not like it you fundamentally do not get professional wrestling.
>>
>>14422489
nope, 15.75 stars.
>>
>>14422850
Okay, so you're saying he rated a dogshit match 3 stars. Not a good look for Dave. I'll hear you out though, where were the botches and how was Jericho Hook better in any way?
>>
>>14422466
>that eddie kingston match

Hasn’t been a 5 star system since before you ever even heard of it.

lmao where aren't there? Hogan can barely walk, can't bump, made Rock's offense look like shit the entire match. Everything after le faceoff is the drizzling shits.
>>
>>14422466
I actually watched the first Okada vs Omega the other day, that Ospreay match was not close, the action was worse, slower, it felt like they were half-assing for 30 minutes while Okada vs Omega was 47 minutes of top class execution.

unironically find a new hobby than pro wrestling if that's what you think

Probably not but he desperately wants AEW to last as long as possible so that he has more to write about and more ‘content’ to provide to the suckers that pay to listen to him trip over the English language

It's funny to me that normally, whichever hobby board you try picking up and browsing, 4chan is generally contrarian central and a sizeable amount of people have a groupthink thing that's totally different from le normies they can all generally agree on being good except /aspw/ which almost unanimously agrees that the most popular fed is probably the best. That tells you all you need to know about how garbage Meltzerslop is, most people can't even pretend to like it lmao

But enough about your sexual preferences

Hook/Jericho was fucking terrible. No way was it above 2 stars. Meltzer is out of his fucking mind.

Ospreay/Danielson was more around 4 stars or so.
>>
>>14422910
this webm actually shows the difference between today's shitters and real wrestlers like Hogan
If today's flowchart fags would have botched the flip out of the ring they would have immediately after done some obnoxious backflip for no reason, or just redid the entire spot and completely break any form of immersion.
Hogan is an actual worker though, so when he can't do the flip out, he makes it look like he took an especially hard shot, falls to the ground, sells for a half second to shake the cobwebs, and then rolls out without breaking any immersion in the match
This webm is literally a showcase of high tier pro wrestling, but your brain is fried and you simply watch to see twinks do fliparinos because you refuse to be immersed in the product and have to constantly remind yourself everything is fake anyway because you're embarrassed you like pro wrestling

Why do you retards keep saying this?
/tv/ rags on arthouse cinema, /v/ rags on indie games. Metrical arguments are used on every board.
It also doesn't help that the alternative for "mainstream" pro wrestling just happens to be absolute fucking trash. I'm sure if AEW was a genuine high-quality niche you'd see the discourse you'd expect, but AEW is both less-popular and awful dog shit.

Memeltzer's retard star system.
Now he is adding more start to justify his stupid biased opinions
>>
>>14423084
the hesitation before he finally does the flip makes the entire thing look idiotic. why does everyone move like this, these days? the apprehension, it not only looks bad, it makes thing more likely to end in injury than a quick fluid motion would.

It's already popular as hell on planet rerard my friend. Sadly though, their collective memory is like a goldfish.
