    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    I told you earlier in this thread that I gave it 5 stars. I don't usually go into the stars system since I do not operate on it when rating whatever wrestling I watch. But in my system this match would translate to a five star match. It was great because it was a main event spectacle with...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    Did you not read what I said? Dave updates his rating system when he feels the need to. Usually once every 15 years, and adds a star when he feels it is needed. He liked the match so much he updated HIS system. Nothing silly about that at all. These rating systems are by no means static, set in...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    Lets not be stupid here. Dave only rated matches on a 4 star scale up until the early-mid 90s. He's said it multiple times that he revisits his rating system from time to time to see if he needs to add a star or not. TV shows, movies, books, comics, games and much more are often rated on 1-10...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    No. They really do not. Constant near falls do more to bring down a match than elevate it

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    Matches don't need a bunch of near falls either. That comes down to taste

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    You said it yourself. In your opinion it was not the perfect match. In Meltzer's it was. Difference being that Dave Meltzer is the top journalist in the wrestling field and thus his opinion is going to carry more weight than yours, both in a positive and negative way. But at the end of the day...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    The standard time limit for IWGP heavyweight matches is 60 minutes. Doesn't mean they have to go the full monty. But they have the option (in kayfabe)

    Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka: R.I.P.

    I hope his family finds solace, I hope the family of his murder victim fins some form of solace. But I don't hope Snuka finds it

    TNA Might Not Be TNA For Long?

    Do you want the roughly 500 hundred laser engraved guitars as well?

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    First: Moved to the international section since Meltzer's rating of Okada vs Omega has nothing to do with WWE. On topic: Meltzer has his obvious biases. He is a very big fan of the current New Japan product and has been for some time. So him rating that main event epic at that level is not that...

    The Nintendo Switch

    This is not about exclusives, but games available on launch. For Nintendo it is about their exclusives since that is what their brand is built around so much more than it is for Xbox and Playstation. And you said it yourself, the one failed because of the DRM fiasco. Not about the lineup of...

    But they had more than 2 pure launch games. The Nintendo Switch will have 5 games on launch counting games like Skylanders who also works on other more powerful systems. The Playstation 4 had 26 games on launch counting backwards compatible games on the PS3, and all of those were improved...

    Wrestling World Cup

    The structure of the tournament seems smart and What Culture does have the bankroll to make it work. But fuck Matt Striker. Fuck him.
