Meltzer bad

 

[Comrade Khan]

while breaking the scale was weird, I do actually agree with Meltzer that matches are of higher quality in general now

 

[Chris]

Praise me

I think some people would be happier if he went back and rated some classic matches higher

but it is what it is. I dont agree with like half his ratings on a weekly basis tho lol it just doesnt get me hot

My main issue is he acts like previous matches rated 5 wouldn't have actually been higher if he broke the scale sooner, and he points to like 1 single match from the early 90s that he gave a 6 star rating to that he barely even talked about again as how he was "always doing it"

Watch him rate Tiger Mask vs. Dynamite Kid lower on rewatch lel

I think once you just accept that he likes what he likes and dislikes what he dislikes its a lot easier to make peace with it, too

meh they're different. More action based. But if everything is better now then use a 7* scale and rate the average match higher than average matches of the past.

and also recency bias in a thing and its unavoidable

I guess it also depends on the region and style.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Personally, I just don't take any of his ratings seriously lol

 

[Chris]

Before and after breaking the scale my thoughts are still the same, if I only look at one show I do almost always agree that his highest match was my favorite and lowest was the worst, I just start disagreeing when comparing company to company or show to show even in the same company
