>>20744935whats he saying now
You like flippy shit and crazy puroresu moves and workrate, every real wrestling fan does, you don't actually want wrestling to be like it was in the 80s. It won't make you magically become a kid again or make the world stop sucking like you think it will.
>>20744935Only with idiots who pay any attention to his star ratings. Normal people will just watch matches and make up their own mind of whether they liked it or not.
>>20745186>you don't actually want wrestling to be like it was in the 80s.you're right i want the 2000s style. perfect balance of ability + selling
>>20744938Idk, probably still enjoys AEW and ignoring facts.
>>20745169Unironically what does he mean by this?
>>20745192In the 80s they were a guide to help people decide what matches they might seek out to play in their VCR. Younger generations of sensitive wrestlers and fans are most responsible for today's butthurt around them. Dave used to talk on the phone to Vince, Heyman and Cornette. None of them or their wrestlers seemed to care when Dave was rating Japanese matches higher, and Cornette is one of those credited with introducing the star ratings. Vince especially I bet didn't give one shit what Dave rated Hogan matches and was far more interested in attendance numbers.
>>20745240well said
>>20745186>You like flippy shit and crazy puroresu moves and workrate,No flippyshit is gay
>>20744935This match sucked and killed the crowd though
>>20745216He does this weaselly thing where when he gets criticized for giving shitty spotfests 8 stars he claims they're just his opinion but then will also refer to them as an objective measure of why a match is good if someone criticizes his own biases or a match he likes.
