My memory is fuckin' all over the place

I really wish Meltzer would just admit he's not a fan of WWE's style in general tbh; I think that's where a lot of contention with people comes from is he likes to act like he's an authority on wrestling when he's just the most vocal and popular critic with his own biases.

he has though, he has always been 100% transparent about him preferences

Has he? Then fair enough. Maybe some of his fans are the issue then.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

he even says himself his rating isnt all that important and subjective. Its not really Daves fault he's the only one that has been doing ratings so long and ppl use them

 

[Death By Looch]

Obviously they are, Grim

it is on both sides of the coin. but tbh, I think ppl get more offended at stuff being rated different than what they think, than actually use his star rating to say x is better than y

People are stupid

like how often do you really see ppl bring in star ratings as an argument. because ive been here a long time, and i pretty much never see it used as a real argument, pretty much ever

I'll say this about star ratings, the moment you start doing stuff like 6/7 star ratings, it kinda just loses all meaning, not that it had any meaning in the first place.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

so at the end of the day, i dont mean to be rude, but its generally ppl pretending to be offended by a number

again, I dont care, not my system, and it works for him.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

like to me theres no debate to have. if ppl have an issue, go rate every match yourself and use that

FUCK NUMBERS

 

[Canadian Dragon]

ive also never watched a 5 star match that he rated 5 and i thought it sucked. so i still feel its a legit barometer for what to go out and seek

 

[Bobby Barrows]

My larger overall point was more that if Dave Meltzer thought that WrestleMania was good enough to have two five star ratings, that's kind of impressive.
