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.

Only 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.

In 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.

This match sucked and killed the crowd though

He 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.
