The greatest match of the decade
Dom mogs those shitters
>>19654043Fair rating
drones gonna be fuming kekw
Nothing will top this this year
>>19654043He’s smoking drugs and I usually defend him. This was a solid 4 seat match at best.
yes dave this will surely be the one that will get people to watch
>>19654067Just wait few months lilbro
>match USA :|>match Japan :O
>>19654071??? they drew 50 thousand + people and had 3.5 millions watching at home just in japan
>>19654043hey dronies, when was your last 6 star match btw?
Gunther vs Cena was 4 stars btw.
>>19654043I'm not going to dunk on Dave for this. He's a fan, and the match made him happy. Wrestling is supposed to create emotion, and if this match did that for him, then that's wonderful.
>>19654091He’s supposed to be objective
>>19654069with the sound off on Planet Retard, maybe
>>19654137Explain Rock vs Hogan getting 3 stars then
>>19654043How many stars were Konosuke vs Tsuji? That match was so much better
>>19654149
>>19654148Neither ever had a good match for starters
>>19654043>lying this hardTanahashi's body is so broken down that he was struggling just to move and Okada's well past his prime. It was their worst match together by a huge margin. An honest rating would be 2 out of 5 stars. Anybody checking this match out based on Dave's rating is going to walk away with the conclusion that he's a retard and they shouldn't listen to anything he says.
>>19654166Suck a single dick
>>19654169I got most of the Ospreay ratings but this one was as you say two broken down wrestlers having a decent match.
>>19654148Because of the crowd you fucking pig. Or do you actually think the in-ring for Tanahashi and Okada was equivalent to Hogan botching and stalling and having completely backwards psychology after le staredown?
>>19654161>Wolf vs EVIL 3.5 stars It's so funny how worked Dave gets by EVIL
>>19654179Yes it was. And Hogan was more mobile and did more than Tanahashi did. Okada wrestling 20 minute of the match half assing it automatically makes the match less than 4 stars
>>19654148Not even as good as Hogan-Warrior I, which Dave pointed out in his review and was100% correct
>>19654169only smarks know or care about daves ratingswhat's actually going to happen iswwe smarks, who only like wwe and not wrestling itself are going to seethe because their show never gets high ratings cause the actual wrestling sucks dickall the other smarks, who like wrestling, will say wow that's a good rating i agree/disagree/don't careits really not complicated, its a shame baby brain e-tard smarks have to melt down about daves stars every single day though, its beyond stale at this point
>>19654161I feel like those ratings should be swapped. Tanahashi and Okada had a good match but you could see their age taking a toll on their movement especially during Tanahashi's tribute to Nakamura, he could barely even do the move. Meanwhile Konosuke vs. Tsuji had me at the edge of my seat thinking it could go either way and ushered in the beginning of a new era for NJPW.
>>19654076Oh good, now i want to skip even mania. Lol, i hate wwe/tko but im not even angry about it. Its just lame.
>>19654043It was fantastic, deserved rating tbdesuGO ACE
>>19654183I remember he seethed hard when they cheered him over Takeshita in the G1 final
>>19654115Like an actual critic or a fanboy with a cult?
>>19654189>Hogan was more mobile than Tanahashi
>>19654043Greatest retirement match ever.
>>19654207This is why no one should take Dave seriously. That march was 2 stars at best.
>>19654227Reminder that he grades WWE on a curve, like women's wrestling
>>19654179Broken down Hogan in 2002 was in much better shape than Tanahashi in 2025. And the match was carefully built around Hogan's limits. Tana vs Okada wasn't really built around Tana's limits at all. He spent every second visibly fighting to make his body move and trying to go at a level he could no longer go at. Shit wasn't good.
>>19654222cherry picking makes you worse than any e drone
>>19654043just give it 10 stars atp if you rate every match you like above 5 anyway
>>19654207Dave's completely lost it.
>>19654245>cherry pickingNah, you've just never looked up from your phone to actually watch the match >>19654239>the match was carefully built around Hogan's limits>He spent every second visibly fighting to make his body move and trying to go at a level he could no longer go at.holy worked
Why are people still treating his hack fraud's opinion as gospel?
>>19654043He got wrapped up in the occasion and turned off any sense of criticismTana was moving abysmally>>19654179>. Or do you actually think the in-ring for Tanahashi and Okada was equivalent to Hogan botching and stalling and having completely backwards psychology after le staredown?Yeah Tana was moving awful
>>19654280You know people can actually watch Rock vs Hogan and see that you're lying about it, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ9zibElS5w
>>19654207How bad were the dynamite star ratings for there to not be a thread about them?
>>19654179>having completely backwards psychologythem switching the face/heel dynamic to match the crowd on the fly is what made that match specialtana/okada obviously had the crowd massively too but this feels really tokenistic, in terms of the actual quality of work in the match tana is just way too busted
>Broken down Hogan>Works the match as a heel despite the crowd>Botches embarrassingly>Broken down Tanahashi>Works as a face in tune with the crowd>Doesn't botch>Story of the match is he pulls out his classic arsenal but it's not enough anymoreEdrones are baby-brained nostalgia pigs that fundamentally do not understand pro wrestling
>>19654321>>Doesn't botchNobody post the PK it might break this consoleshitter's feeble brain.
>>19654316>them switching the face/heel dynamic to match the crowd on the fly is what made that match specialThis literally doesn't happen. Hogan works 90% of the match as a heel doing all his NWO spots until he hulks up out of nowhere and Rock never plays heel at all. It was as retarded as Styles-Cena except with taunts instead of finishers
>>19654321>>Works as a face in tune with the crowd>>Doesn't botch>>Story of the match is he pulls out his classic arsenal but it's not enough anymoreagreed, and all of this simple effective storytelling with a captivated crowd dragged down by the very poor quality of work tana is capable of in 2025 makes it a 3 star match
Seems fair the the 12th top match of all time
>star inflation is so bad that matches wherein Okada and Tanahashi were in their physical primes paying off years-long storylines together are 1-1.25 stars worse than a thrown-together clumsy tribute match where Tana struggles to run the ropes and Okada is a step and a half slowerOnly good thing about the match was the full rainmaker pose. Well-intentioned and well-executed fanservice marred by Tana being broken.
>>19654321Tanahashi's physical condition basically made the entire match a botch.
>>19654336>captivated crowd>dragged downcope
>>19654360based reading comprehensionjeet
>>19654364I accept your retreat and surrender
>>19654115like 2 days ago dave said his ratings are subjective
>>19654379Monitor on
>>19654384And in another 2 days he'll say they're objective.
>>19654043Once again, Dave shows that you are a complete retard if you take any of his opinions seriously
Was it actually a technically good match or is this some kind of "OMG THESE GUYS MEAN SO MUCH TO ME"-type mark rating?
>>19654441Obviously the latter, which is fine since the point of wrestling is the guys try to make themselves mean a lot to you to the extent that them gesturing or doing minute things pops you but the work was mostly actually bad.
miu v suzume was better
>>19654441Why would she piss herself in the ring?
>>19654043I wish Mossad gave us a better jew, one that at least understands the concept of star ratings, instead they gave us even someone more retarded than the ones running the IDF
Nobody really buys this rating for a match with 2026 Tana but I love him to a similar degree so I understand
>>19654043He's lost his damn mind and now i'm an e-drone
>>19654200pretty sure tanahashi was being deliberately clumsy
>>19654209He really is out of touch
>>19655097deranged cope
>>19654043Deserved. 6 stars is a bit much but 5 stars is definitely merited>>19654207Wtf was Dave smoking with this? This isn't even a 1 star match. 20 years ago he'd have given this one -5 stars. Dave is getting soft.
>>19654169So now the moves and workrate matter?
>>19656013>20 years ago he'd have given this one -5 stars.no need for retarded hyperbole
>>19656118He gave Hogan vs Andre -2. This was a retarded botchfest with zero positives.
>>19654043I shouldn’t be this annoyed at a rating. But I am. Is this how e drones feel when the PLE ratings come out?
>>19654043loldave
Dave's word is gospel
>>19654043Where was that Okada at All In? Kenny gave it 100% but Okada was phoned it to a point that even Meltzer couldn’t ignore
The greatest match of all time... until the next oneAt least the retirement angle will make people remember this unlike the last fifty matches he gave a high rating to
>>19654043insecure ecucks aint finna like this one
>>196576844.75 for that lol
>>19654076kek for the unforseen pick
>>19654451was looking for an explanation like this but cant tell if tru cuz am failing to support nuj and get world
>>19657684>>19657703aappreciate (u) anon for giving keni the props that its his dance partners needin to meet him if things seem offhope not cope understanding is tho okada did perform "5star" worthy in that match but was just heel/callis coded/ part played in story for further match/es down the line
