That Kenny/Jericho match was not 4 1/2 star material

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

his rating system fell off

5 stars used to mean something

Cody vs Dustin was easily like 4 stars

 

[23Barrettcity]

shattered HHH’s throne then had a 5 star match at his company’s first show :freshjb:

Using old school psychology and wwe storytelling that hhh influence

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Usually folk who say this are the first ones triggered by Dave, people forget it's just his opinion

They need to keep that energy when Cole / Gargano 2 gets 6 stars next week.

Every now and then he adds stars to matches for having emotion or backstory, I think that's what happened here.

4 1/2 for Dave these days is like a 3 3/4 for dude

5 Star Matches:

Cody: 1
Daniel Bryan: 0

That match was full of blood, sweat, and tears. Literally.

 

[jackswstd]

Had all the elements. Storytelling, the crowd was heavily invested in the match, and Brother vs Brother (actually related) always connects. You had grown ass men tearing up after it was over

 

[MenacingMonk]

Probably Cody’s only 5 star he’ll ever be in.

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Most deserving one in a while. But as @Jmare007 said, his ratings are way out of sync at this stage. The women's match getting 3 and the opener 4 is just preposterous. I thought Dustin/Cody was 4+ easily but there was still some Cody-ness in there that I disliked a bit. No arguments against a 5 though, it was pretty close.

Yeah, he straight up said on Starrcast part of his star criteria are if the crowd are into the match, and a great story can't be told in the ring if the crowd aren't into it.

My fav match was actually the japanese women.

 

[Champagne Kudo]

Goldie carried the 3 star General hard

 

[Slystallion]

What did double take rate Hogan vs Rock at 18? I mean crowd was heavy into that one
