DISCUSSS!!!:brows:

 

[Soulpower]

Meh. You have to understand that Meltzer only takes into consideration the quality of the match (Which is why Flair vs HBK was rated so low).

I'm actually surprised that he rated most of the matches between 3 and half to 4 stars. That's more love than what he usually gives WWE.

 

[Kaedon]

Well he gave all of the HBK/Cena matches around **** Its like he only takes into account psychology when he wants to

Yeah this is kind of surprising that he actually had this many 3-4 star matches based on some of the ratings i've seen from him. I think some were more accurate ratings than others on this list...but this isn't the worst thing in the history of the world or anything. =/

BTW for Trips/Taker 10/24/08 it says "***1/2 range"...

 

[Kizza]

I agree with HBK/Flair taken into the fact that he only really rates the match quality. Besides the emotion and psychology, it was really a pretty standard match really. Don't remember much of the match besides the ending, which is the only part that stick outs in my mind and I'm sure a fair few others' minds as well.

 

[milkman7]

His two highest rated matches were Edge vs Undertaker-Summerslam and Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho-No Mercy at ****1/2 each and I think I would agree with that

 

[Moonlight Drive]

He was too busy jacking off to Misawa to come up with a decent list.

3/30/08 Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels ***1/2

That's disgusting.

You can't exclude emotion and psychology when rating a wrestling match. Without them, you don't have wrestling.

1/8/08 Jimmy Wang Yang/Shannon Moore vs. The Miz/John Morrison (15 Minutes of Fame) ***1/2

LOL :shifty:

 

[Nancy Di Loreto]

Based on wrestling quality, I can't disagree with Meltzer here.

And it's great to see Miz/Morrison vs. Moore/Yang on the list. Those matches should have been in the top 10
