- 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

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
|
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!

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! WWE could not possibly give less of a s*** about what any other company is doing lol.

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. |

I watched Omega/Okada 1 and 3. Both were really good matches 1 had some seriously iffy psychology but I found 3 to be a perfect match. 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. I think Big Cass vs Big Show will surprise you
...and that's the meaning of life.

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.

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.

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).http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-4fgojx.gif - #1 P4P

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.

"He must've been a very important chimp."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.1. wwe doesnt give a crap about njpw match quality.

So it doesnt surprise me that WWE only has a couple 5 star matches.The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench.
Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.SmashBurb posted...CrimsonGear80 posted...
Who cares. By this time next year Omega will be in NXT and all you Smarks will hate him.
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.
I'm not American, so the WWE is an indy fedThe Self Professed Bray Wyatt of the PWB. Bo Dallas for President.

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

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.Not Changing This Until Nakamura Becomes WWE Champ 4/5/2016
