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

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

"Dave gave it 4.75 stars!"



Dave gives any random Young Bucks match 4+ stars it seems and it's just spamming superkicks and diving through the ropes with no psychology

 

[puppetmaster]

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

Oh look another Young Bucks hater

Oh look another Young Bucks hater

I'm not a hater they just aren't that good in my eyes for what I want to see in a wrestling ring

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Bet you won't say this to his face tho

It's not Dave's system. He got it from someone else. He just made it popular.

Oh you mean he didnt create rating things by stars?

 

[Jmare007]

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

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

Jim Cornette and a friend created the star system like back in the 70's or 80's. Meltzer has said it numerous times.

Yeah...people have been rating things with stars WELL BEFORE THE 1970S GENIUS

 

[Worthless Loser]

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.

 

[dh86]

The revival match is 5 stars if you think is 5 stars. Why do you give a fukk what Dave says

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

Some people treat Meltzer like the gospel and defend him like he's their daddy. Kinda sad. Don't rely on someone to tell you what's good.

Anyone who looks at star ratings and bullshyt, just listen Al Snow
