Double Talk Dave Gives 5.25 Stars To Walter/Tyler Bate And Young Bucks/Lucha Bros

[JerseyBoy23]

Now that we've had four days to let these matches marinate and Meltzer's released his ratings, I thought it would be good to discuss the best matches of last week's star studded lineup of NXT UK Takeover, NJPW Royal Quest, and AEW's ALL Out.

With that said, I actually liked Walter/Bate slightly better but those UK chants almost made me mute my TV. Also I'm kind of surprised that Okada vs Suzuki was so low rated considering how into it the crowd was.

With all that in mind TSC, what was your favorite match of last weekend?

NJPW Royal Quest

Romero & RPG 3K vs. Taguchi, Narita & Umino: 3
Hikuleo & Yujiro vs. Ibushi & Robinson: 3
Birds of Prey vs. ELP & Ishimori: 3.75
Naito & SANADA vs. White & Owens: 2.25
Aussie Open vs. GoD: 3.75
Ishii vs. KENTA: 2.5
Sabre vs. Tanahashi: 4
Okada vs. Suzuki: 4.5

NXT UK TakeOver: Cardiff

Banks vs. Dar: 2.5
Cesaro vs. Dragunov: 4
Gallus vs. GYV vs. Andrews & Webster: 4.5
Coffey vs. Mastiff: 2.5
Ray vs. Storm: 3.25
Bate vs. WALTER: 5.25

AEW All Out

Casino Battle Royal: 2.25
Angelico & Evans vs. Private Party: 3.5
Jurassic Express vs. SCU: 4
Omega vs. Pac: 4.25
Allin vs. Havoc vs. Janela: 4

fukk this cac meltzer and his opinion I just would like to point out that jericho is fat, sloppy, drunk and washed. That match was not good at all, Suzuki his senior and shytting on him.

What constitutes .25 of a star, one less kick out or false finish?

Just round them up, idiot.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Still making a big deal out of Mark Meltzer’s ratings?

I say in the OP that I just wanted to discuss what was TSC's favorite match of the weekend was between those three events. Just using the star ratings as a way to start the convo.

 

[Dolo]

Tyler and Walter was better

 

[RammerJammer]

2.5 to Ishii/Kenta?

You know damn well no ones paying attention to what you said when you made a headline about Meltz’s ratings.

2.5 to Ishii/Kenta?

Did you see the match? It was decent until about midway when KENTA got a concussion. It was sloppy after that. If anything Meltz should have not given it a rating based on an injury.

Well with Source magazine and their mics no longer relevant, we had to look for the next best thing. We lowered our standards. A lot.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

He jumped the shark a few years ago and never looked back. I await the day people stop caring about his reviews

No clue..sounds silly.

 

[Jmare007]

Making fun of Dave's bias and over the top ratings is something I encourage for the most part, but I don't think this deserves a thread

I agree with Villano, the moment you use Meltzter's snowflakes any discussion will probably go out the window. It's like starting a thread with a Jim Cornette rant about how "stupid" indy wrestling is and use it to try to discuss the current state of the indy scene

WALTER and Bate was easily the best match of the weekend.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

2.5 to Ishii/Kenta?

I could see it, after that german suplex. Kenta definitely concussed himself or something and the entire pace of the match changed

Didnt help that Ishii wouldnt let the ref check on him and proceeded to smack and headbutt him lol
