Mad Man Meltzer does it AGAIN! Kenny Omega now has as many 5+* matches as WWE!

  2. Pro Wrestling: WWE
  3. Mad Man Meltzer does it AGAIN! Kenny Omega now has as many 5+* matches as WWE!
Meltzer gave Okada/Omega III 6 stars and Okada/Naito 5.75 stars bringing The Cleaner's total of 5 star matches to five, equally the tally racked up by WWE in its history.

Of course, Kenny is still behind the Ace of the Universe with eight, and The Rainmaker with seven, but he WILL continue to rack up MOTF candidates.

One can only wonder how WWE will respond to the ALL TIME GREAT wrestling going on in Japan!
same as they always do, putting on inferior wrestling and making more money

Why do WWE marks care about this?! I'm a WRESTLING FAN not an investor, I don't care how much money a promotion is making. I'm entertained by what's happening on my TV screen, not someone else's bank account!
why do wwe marks care about this when you’ve literally just wondered what wwe’s response will be

I'm hoping that WWE's response is it to respond with some TOP QUALITY wrestling and a STELLAR show at Summerslam, not to point to a SPREADSHEET!
but the people that make things happen in wwe don’t care what anyone else is doing, and they’re not arsed about putting on good matches, if any matches are good that’s just happenstance.

Man those matches were all really great but this guy has totally killed the legitimacy of his ratings. He used to say he didn't like giving a lot of 5 stars because it devalues a 5 star match. Well now he's completely devalued everything. Lol. I would say okada Omega 3 and Naito Omega were 5 star matches. I'm not convinced the first two Omega okada matches we're even 5 stars. 4.75 probably. Match 2 felt very forced to be a 60 minute match. A lot of bad psychology spots like okada hitting 2 straight rain makers. Then just standing there with his hands on his hips walking around the ring. Like dude go for the pin. I know it's one thing but if you're gonna give these matches 6 stars every single thing has to be perfect. 

And I love Omega but he can have iffy psychology at times. 

But Naito is the best out of all of them. 

I mean njpw does have much better wrestling. But WWE was never about the wrestling except maybe the 80s. They're an entertainment product and they never shy away from that. That's why Vince doesn't call them wrestlers. WCW always had the better wrestling. Look at Meltzers ratings. He always gave them higher ratings. 

It does seem like Dave hates the sports Entertainment aspect of wrestling. Which is weird. Because pro wrestling is fake. It needs an added element to be invested in. Or else it's play fighting. And I got UFC and bellator for fighting.
That's the wall brother!

Real talk, I think he wrote himself into a corner when he saw Okada/Omega and decided it was the best match he'd ever seen and nothing was going to top it so gave it 6. Then they did it twice.

2 is really good, I went 3 > 2 > 1 but most people have 2 as the best, including Dodgy Dave himself. (He went 6.25 lmao)

Even though they went the full hour, the pacing was much better than 1.

At least WWE tried to respond to Okada/Omega with Cena/AJ at Royal Rumble even though they failed, they've just completely rolled over and gave up at this point. There's not a match on the Summerslam card that could even possibly compete.

Me and a buddy watched match 2 with lag. Even with the constant lag it felt like it flew by compared to match 1. I would give it a slight edge over matcb 3. Would definitely say match 1 was the lesser of the three.

I saw Okada - Omega 1 & 2 and while they were epic matches, rating them over 5 stars just looked stupid as f*** coming from him. I get that the point was to imply those matches were on such a high level that it would be a disservice to rate them 5 and compare them to the previous 5* matches but when you keep doing it, it makes the whole scale look like a parody almost. Plus im not afraid to say the matches are a bit overrated too. Great for sure but you're not gonna j*** your pants unless you're a huge puroresu mark like Dave is.

Looks like I need to check out the third match and Naito's match next.

You seem like a nice guy. Everybody knows that fella is a major troll so for most times, most people don't take him seriously.

But sometimes when some of our moods are not right, had a bad day or something, we ended up getting baited in even though we usually won't.
He's given out 6 star matches (and above) before.

The Okada v Omega trilogy I feel got better with each match because the story continues to progress through each encounter. I think their 4th will be the best. It needs to happen before Omega (and the Bucks) decide to jump ship.

It seems like Meltzer's ratings have actually caused the matches to be less appreciated. They are tremendous, and have something for just about everyone, but it seems like this is where him being a critic and his own subjective interests really come into question. Even if I don't think they are the best matches I've ever seen I still would watch these guys lock up again. Personally I like New Japan, but there are times where they just have a string of big spots that don't build drama as well for me as if these moments were spread out with more psychology.

    Once WWE beat WCW, Vince used WWE as his own EWR, since money wasn't exactly a problem any more.

    Now Vince is growing disillusioned, Triple H is taking more of a role. So how much of a f*** do you think Triple H gives about Japan and the internet? He masturbates over early-80s all-American wrestling shows, not 21st Century foreign ones.

    The MitB one, the one you saw was the better wrestling match from a technical standpoint imo, but the storyline and the atmosphere for MitB was out of this world. WWE at it's absolute best.
    Man I remember watching Punk v Cena at MITB 2011 in a packed sports bar. The crowd was going insane over every single move. It was like watching sudden death in the Super Bowl between two undefeated rivals. And later that night was the season premiere of Breaking Bad S4. Good times!

    Glad he gave 5 stars to those two 1997 classics. Easily two of my favorite matches ever with HIAC being number 1 (since the story it told was an 80s slasher movie but this time we cheered for the monster and rooted against the human in distress).

    I mean Bret vs Owen wasn't a bad match per se but I think it relied entirely on the live hype factor which led to it being very repetitive and formulaic when you watch it years later. I also prefer cage matches to more about punishment, which that match was lacking in since it was strictly them consistently trying to escape the cage every five seconds. I dunno. Maybe I'm more used to the more modern style of cage matches, which was basically a no-DQ wrestling match surrounded by a cage as opposed to 'who can climb out the cage first'

    I can see where you're coming from. Admittedly I've only watched the match once since my initial viewing - on the Network when I bombed and decided to watch Taker v Taker after and was locked with an internal struggle on the kayfabe story vs the story they were actually telling.

    lmfao @ the very idea of smarks hating Omega if he were to jump ship.

    They still fap over Shinsuke Nakamura.

    There is literally nothing Omega could do to make smarks hate him.

    Kenny Omega doesn't mean anything before he actually makes it in the WWE.

    Before all of that, he is just another indy guy.


    NJPW isn't an indy fed. It's a major promotion in Japan. That's like saying WCW was an indy fed because it wasn't WWF at the time.


    In Japan, yes.

    Problem is that none of you are Japanese. Everywhere else in the world, it's essentially indy-level.

    WWE will respond by eventually hiring Omega which will drop Omega's star ratings to 4.75 or less even if he has the widely agreed upon Match of the Century.

    WWE hasn't had a match that deserved a Big Five from Big Dave that he hasn't given five to.


    Benoit/Angle RR03
    Bret/Owen WMX
    Benoit/HBK/HHH
    HBK/Taker WM24 (I think...first one)
    Austin/HHH - three stages of hell
    Edge/Rey vs Angle/Benoit - tag title finals
    TLC 1 & 2
    Cactus Jack vs Orton
    HHH vs Cactus jack
    AJ/Cena SS (debatable)


    All of these seem basically ***** worthy

    Meltzer gave Okada/Omega III 6 stars and Okada/Naito 5.75 stars bringing The Cleaner's total of 5 star matches to five, equally the tally racked up by WWE in its history.

    Of course, Kenny is still behind the Ace of the Universe with eight, and The Rainmaker with seven, but he WILL continue to rack up MOTF candidates.

    One can only wonder how WWE will respond to the ALL TIME GREAT wrestling going on in Japan!

    Who came up with his rating system? 6 out of 6 stars? 4.75 stars? I doubt he's studying and dissecting the match that much that he's like "Oh, X's footing was off during that suplex, that's going to cost them a quarter of a star!"

    There's nothing to suggest that. Remember when Wrestling Isn't Wrestling came out? He got spammed to hell online with people basically demand he watch it and give his reaction. Eventually he HAD to put out a vague quick tweet to get everyone to shut up even though probably he still hasn't watched it.

    I still don't believe this. Angle vs Michaels WM21, Angle & Benoit vs Mysterio & Edge No Mercy, Bret vs Owen WM 10 and Taker vs Michaels WM 25 certainly were good enough to be 5s otherwise. Also want to mention Michaels vs Mankind Mindgames but we all know the ending run in dq f***ed that match over.

    Omega and I said NXT, not WWE. He refuses to do developmental.


    yeah, here's how that goes:

    HHH: "hey Kenny, heres a huge contract with a s***-ton of money. You start NXT next week".

    Kenny: "OK, so how do you see the finish against Almas going down?"


    he's turned them down 4 times already,once in 2014 and three times in 2015
    whatever was offered then is going to have to be doubled or tripled at this point

    I agree with what a couple others have said here, that Meltzer rating these matches so highly kinda hurts the legitimacy of his ratings, and really brings the ratings for all matches too high. Like AJ/Cena at Royal Rumble was really good, but 4.75*? Don't know if it was that good. Imagine if Roger Ebert had all of a sudden started rating movies 5 out of 4 stars.

    3. this board is a joke. you piss an moan about wwe and then turn around and bash an alternative that is putting on classic matches left and right. its just further proof most of you just want to be unhappy and s*** on anything.

    WWE has never been about the actual wrestling though.

    NJPW treats it as a sport where WWE treats it as a show and WWE fans like that.

    So it doesnt surprise me that WWE only has a couple 5 star matches.

    Actually this is kind of wrong. What New Japan, from my viewing experience, does is take the 'entertainment' equation of 'sports entertainment' and instead of using it in soapy-like backstage segments implements it directly into their wrestlers. One thing of note in NJPW, no one man there has the same character. 

    Everyone is an individual piece that meshes well with one another. This is perhaps because the talent is allowed to express themselves (that or Gedo is amazing at making characters as well as being a booking genius) while many of the WWE's guys right now can come off as being similar in one way or another, with the only thing setting them apart are hokey soapy moments (some better then others. Joe/Lesnar was an awesome feud for example, but in fairness to them Joe and Lesnar are naturally incomparable to most).

    NJPW does treat the in ring product seriously, but it implements the entertainment side of Pro Wrestling a lot better then WWE does now and days. Naito vs Omega II has plenty of entertaining moments that you'd never see in an old school AJPW main event, but its never forgotten that the two are supposed to be in a wrestling match. Its truly a fusion of the best of both elements.
