His highest rated singles matches according to Meltzer are WrestleWar '90 and Starrcade '88 both against Flair at 4 1/2 stars. Both are definitely great, and I'd say the WrestleWar one is my favorite but it does have the CO finish which kinda hurts it, but I think it has better pacing at 30 minutes than the Starrcade one at like 40...that '88 Starrcade is still my favorite of all time tho
As if I wasn’t excited enough for Gears of War 5
Starcade 88 was one of my favorite ppvs ever. I remember watching it when it occurred. Damn, I'm old as fuck, lol.
It's a shame that match didn't get 5 stars. Flairs promo afterwards was pure brilliance. He treated wrestling as a legit sport and not a circus, unlike today's wrestlers.
Hey if it's 5 stars to you then fuck what Meltzer says
I trust the opinions of folks here more than Meltzer.
I broke more stories than he has just on random speculation.
Also predicted their stock and network projections better than he ever did.
Never forget OMB isn't impressed with Scarlett's looks

I still don't think it'll amount to much considering the wild card rule came like a week after the shakeup earlier this year.
WWE just doesn't know how to stick to a brand split. You have to make real effort to make the shows look and feel different.
I'm sure they will for Fox but I won't give them much credit unless it lasts for longer than a few months without any wildcard shit. I do think the only effort for a split needs to be separate rosters though, and the presentation stuff you love so much is just extra...I mean I'd prefer it too but I wouldn't say it's not a real split just bc they use the same stage. I can't see them every going back to the '02 "real competition" between brands thing, but I could see Bischoff and Heyman treating it as a competition between each other while Vince is just laughing in the background bc they're still making him money
Either way I don't really have much of an opinion on this, I'm not really excited or disinterested either way so I'm gonna hold off on any expectations until we see what happens on screen towards the end of the year.
Draft shows are always fun, they should just do them monthly.
