Dude's just a fan like everyone else. His opinion doesn't matter more or less than anyone else's. :shrug:

indeed! is it a baseline to use for what is a GREAT match in MOST cases? of course. But that's pretty much where it end.

It's fun to debate in the sense that I like to give my own opinion on something rated low or high from my pov, but it's not that serious at the end of the day

Fwiw he always says that if you're within .5 of anyone's rating (his or otherwise) in either direction then you agree with them on the overall quality, it's just preference. He even gets confused when people get mad over like .25 of a star and is like "this shit doesn't matter" lmao

makes sense.

on topic : I had jericho lower but within .5 , but I had Taya Jade much higher.

I also would not have bothered to rate Toni vs Jamie

Eh... Just sayin' that it's part of the problem if you act like his ratings are more important than anyone else's, which you do the moment you say his opinion can be considered a baseline, for example or if people go apeshit about it on Social Media, no matter if they are toxic Meltzerites, or his as toxic haters. Him basically saying "being within that amount of anyone else means those people are in the 'right' with their ratings" is also not quite the right thinking, imo, because there are way too many people out there throwing objectivity too often or too much out the window.

I don't even say he's wrong with any of his ratings. It's his opinion after all, so who am I to judge him for it. It's just so tiring to see how many seem to take his stars for the deciding factor in what has been "good" or "not good".

Yeah but his makes people really mad and that's funny for me
That's fair. Up to an extent it's funny enough, to see idiots go completely bonkers over those ratings. :lol

Not even remotely what I said or what he says though lol He means if someone rates a match 3 stars and you think it's 3.5 stars then you two don't really disagree with each other and shouldn't even need to debate but if someone rates a match 3 and you say 4 then you two have differing opinions...which is also fine but you can debate about it then

is it tiring or is it just you being annoyed by a small pocket of people? I don't see any problem in accepting that if he rates a match 5 stars, it's a good idea to go watch it. it's not like he's ever rated a dud 5 stars. I also see no issue with ppl being happy if they do get a 5 star rating on a match. Doesn't mean that if ppl discuss or talk about it that its the ONLY thing that matters.

I dunno, I guess I don't really understand having a problem with ppl talking about meltzer ratings

Years of being on the internet and having to deal with both sides of idiots that go overboard I'd guess. Not used to reasonable discussion where the M man is concerned.

It's Friday so I wonder how many threads I make from Observer news where people don't comment on the topic but just shit on Meltzer, as is tradition

yeah that's pretty fair, I just don't think people really act like that here for the most part (the going overboard on ratings). People def do get triggered by the M word though on those threads though lol

Matt Jackson came up with the exploding superkick spot about a month ago. He wanted to do something that hadn’t been done and to do so he had to get a Nevada State Fire Performers license that other entertainment acts in Las Vegas using things like that as part of the show have to get.

Bro lmao
