I'm still seeing people taking Meltzer's rating system seriously :jbhmm:

Wrestling is subjective, Meltzer's thoughts are opinion, well informed usually but they're still opinions. lots of folks still take what he says as gospel instead of forming their own opinions on matches, wrestlers and organizations

It's strange

People should realize by now that Dave likes a bunch of spots and that's his thing. He will give a match with psychology/selling a good rating but not as high as these ridiculous spot fests

It's weird I think at this point there's more people that get pissed or annoyed by Dave's rating than people that still take his opinion as gospel or as a legit bar being set on quality of wrestling.

Nowadays most of the IWC knows what are Dave's tastes and what are his biases for a big rating :manny:

I've stopped caring about his thoughts on matches unless I want to troll.

Yeah...people have been rating things with stars WELL BEFORE THE 1970S GENIUS
Of course some guy in the 1930's probably said "hey that was a 5 star match dude!". The point is, Cornette and his friend started it throughout wrestling circles, then Meltzer popularized it.
