Who cares what Meltzer thinks
And the match aint better than HBK vs Kurt Angle or Undertaker at Wrestlemania
You basically have to treat Meltzer’s star ratings in two era. 2016 and earlier and then 2017 and later.

Five star matches were rare before 2017, now they happen like twice a month or more on average.

Like comparing NBA stats from the 90s to today. Two completely different eras.

We all know Meltz has had some WWE biases over the years but I'm shocked none of Bryan's ROH catalog has 5 stars. He ain't even give the match with Nigel 5? :jbhmm:
5 star matches used to he impossible to get from Dave…when he gave Joe/Punk and Joe/Kobashi 5 stars the IWC went fukking insane…

Makes sense but it was still inconsistent because I believe he was giving a lot of 5 stars out to the All-Japan women's wrestling ...
They deserved it tho. Them chicks were innovating on another level at the time. Dave still doesn't give woman's matches today high ratings because it hasn't topped All Japan in his opinion.

Not saying they didn't but he went overboard and then didn't give WWE a "5 star match" for like 20 years or something ridiculous like that.
