THE YOUNG GOATS DO IT AGAIN
>>20913437Lmfao that's fucking embarrassing
>>20913437I HEAR DRONIES CRYINI HEAR DRONIES SEETHING
only 5?
>>20913437>only 7.61 on cagematch>5 from meltzerDave has really done more harm than good to some guys with his ratings
>>20913437Post the webm
>>20913437>5 stars>A perfect matchTHIS is Dave Meltzer's idea of perfect wrestling. If you're still stupid enough to listen to this retard then I don't know what to tell you at this point
>>20913475This looks great though
>>20913475Since meltzer added to more stars to his 5 star rating system, a 5 star is now like a 7 out of 10 which is still too high for this match.
>>20913475Literally nothing in this webm looked impactful in the least, that BTE trigger was terribleAbsolute dog shit
>>20913437We need to abolish the Dave ratings
>>20913475How does someone who has dedicated his life to watching wrestling think this is a flawless example of wrestling?
>>20913484>dave gave it a 5 so i must praise it or the cult will be upset with me
>>20913523>Dave likes it so i must hate it
>>209134375 stars outside of WWE is basically 4-4.5 stars before Meltzy killed his rating system
>>20913475Meltzer truly believes if he keeps showering AEW with 5 star ratings, people will start tuning in and ratings will go up. He's just as delusional as the rest of the AEW marks.
>>20913520Because 3 of the people he is friends with are in the match.
>>20913520Look at the guys involved. You know exactly why. Dude's a sellout through and through. It's a shame because he's such a wealth and depth of wrestling knowledge. But every chance he gets to apply that knowledge he just proves he's an idiot
>>20913525Bitch i hated the bucks since before AEW existed and all they did was reinforce that with each passing year. The only people i ever met who are fans are 300+ and i dont think that is changing any time soon either.
>>20913525Actually everyone else hated it before Dave gave his opinion. There are people who can actually watch wrestling and think for themselves instead of having to wait to hear what to think from someone else
>>20913525>>Dave likes it so i must hate itThis is closer to a good rule of thumb than a bad one these days
Reminder that Dave has said that the reason he didn't give Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 25 five stars is that he though some parts looked a little too choreographed
>>20913536>he's such a wealth and depth of wrestling knowledge>every chance he gets to apply that knowledge he just proves he's an idiotAre people finally ready to admit that Dave Meltzer does not understand pro wrestling? Just because he has watched for decades and knows a lot of wrestling trivia, that does not mean he understands what makes a good match. Clearly Dave is clueless when he thinks this shit >>20913475 is in any way good. It looks like a botchy stunt show. It's not even pro wrestling.
He's been giving out goofy ratings to The Bucks, Kenny, Ospreay and Fletcher for years now so it's hard to get too upset because it's expected at this point. But he's just trashing his own legitimacy with these inflated ratings. I don't see a "Best of the 2020's" comp someday with 20 different Ospreay, Bucks and Fletcher matches on it.
>>20913437OSPREAY will never be top
>>20913475This sequence is pure, EVERYTHING. Damn it, i love AEW
>>20913475Matt Jackson getting up off the 450 was particularly awful. Were they always like this, or is this recent?
>>20913703>Were they always like this, or is this recent?Prioritizing spots over ring psychology? 'fraid they've always been like this. Just watch any of their ladder or cage matches. Or don't. Because I wouldn't wish that on anyone
Did he rate Mercedes' match yet?
>>20913781He rates wrestling, not horse shows. So no
>>20913437Every aew show has 5 star matches huh?Could Dave not make it anymore obvious that he's on Tony's payroll? The worst is aewtists acting like these ratings are something official not just some jewish journalist's opinion.
>>20913475In ring psychology context, why the fuck does he scoot into place to take a splash lol, i've never seen someone lie flat on their back like that after hitting a splash
>>20913520he's a mark just like the rest of us and has his own favourite wrestlers that he thinks drop peak every time they step on the mat, the problem is that retards actually take him seriously. if i was a wrestling reviewer i'd drop 5 stars on every Kyle O'Reilly match because i'm a mark for him, but how stupid would it be for people to think, "KOR is the best in the world because anon says so"? He's not even that good of a historian because he doesn't shed any light at all on 90s NJPW, and he only teaches western fans about AJPW because that's what he preferred, despite NJPW being the bigger and more successful promotion.
>>20913475It's out of infinity sweaty
>>20914150You're infinitely sweaty
>>20913437Dave just gives extra stars to AEW for no reason. Even more criminal is that the Dogs - Bang Bang Gang match got 2.75 stars. In no world is that match more than a 1.
>>20913437>Buck #2 no sells Assplay's 450 splash = 5 starsMeltzer needs to smoke less crack
>>209134755 stars is how much he enjoyed it, not how perfect it is, sweetheart
>>20913437It was pretty based to be fair. Lots of creativity
>>20913475Dave apparently wants wrestling to be cirque du soleil. Especially when his great "friends" are wrestling
>>20913475When did Dave lose his mind?
>>20913475Personally stuff like this disqualifies matches from me recommending them. But Dave is entitled to his opinion. It’s up to if it’s worth listening to
>>20914228What's the difference, dumbass? It's his opinion in either case. But calling something 5 out of 5 stars is calling something perfect
>>20913475It's uncanny how AEW matches look exactly like someone playing with their toys and constantly adding more spots to avoid getting bored and having to put them away
>>20914294Mmmmmmtake em to the chorus
>>20914293Pretty sure Dave has said his ratings are objective
>>20913437you have to be a truly stupid manlet with a pig shit brain, likely in his 50s and confined to a wheelchair due to morbid obesity, to give a shit about any "5 star" match rating from some elderly grifter who operates on a "7 star" scale. what kind of fat, stupid idiot with erectile dysfunction would worship this con artist?
>>20913437Meltzer stars mean jack shit anymore.Misawa's highest rated match on Cagematch (against Kobashi) only got five stars. Are you telling me this match was as good as this?https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x92ngwi
>>20914456Are you retarded?
>>20914498Not an argument
>>20913437disgusting
>>20914293>What's the difference, dumbass?you can't be helped if this confuses you
>>20913475What’s the kayfabe reason for fainting after missing a clothesline?
>>20914653Not to defend this crap, but they're trying to lean into Japanese match psychology.People think Japanese matches are about just no-selling but they're more about fighting spirit. Guys give it their all and go all out, shrugging off everything that comes their way, until they just pass out from the sheer exhaustion of it. The selling is on the back end instead of up-front because you don't want to show weakness to your opponent.Which, again, isn't to defend whatever this is.
>>20913475kek matt buck doesnt even hulk up after getting nuked with a splash he just stands up ultimate warrior taking the pedigree style
>>20914476Your mind is raped lmao
Wow, an incredible match must mean that tons of people watched... right?
He needs to die so wrestling can heal
>>20913437revolting
>YOU DESERVE IT
>>20913475the iwc of twenty years ago would have eaten these shitters alivewhat the fuck happened? Was Tony Khan giving money to moderators of all the major wrestling forums really enough to kill every smark?
>>20913475>Takes a 450 from Osprey>Immediately gets up and no sells >5 stars from some tard in San Jose
>>20913475Did you want him to spend 30 seconds selling it and delay/ruin the whole sequence? get real.Also the crowd loved it faggot
>>20917422>did you want him to sell it and ruin the sequenceYes? The sequence was absolutely terrible. They should've thought a little harder about laying it out and held themselves to a higher standard.
>>20916655>i have no argument whatsoever so instead i'm gonna shit my pants and project my state of mental devastation, siri accept your admission of defeat, little pig faggot.
>>20913437BASED
