Undisputed Era vs. Moustache Mountain got the full five and Dogshit said it was the second best tag match of the year after Bucks/Lovers.

Kenny Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito and Kenny Omega vs. Hirooki Goto from NJPW's G1 Climax also got five.

That was more of a 3.75 star match

Omega/Naito I can definitely agree with. I think it was the best of their trilogy. Omega/Goto wasn't even the best match of the night.

From day 2 of the UK tourney? No way in hell was that a 5 Star match. It was good, but I’m not sure I’d personally even give it 4.

The garbage ending for the rematch NXT is enough for me top take it off the 5-star list.

It's obvious that Meltzer is getting paid to big up certain wrestlers in the fan's eyes. Omega and Bucks being two obvious ones, but someone in TUE is as well.

Kenny is going to have to do the ultimate carry job with Tama Tonga if Dave is going to be able to do that without completely destroying any semblance of objectivity when it comes to Kenny.

Even Omega/Naito wasn't 5 stars good, IMO. The first half was fine, but not amazing. It really ramped up at the end, and by the end it was a great match. But nothing really epic happened that would push it from 4 stars to 5.

In my opinion, anyway.

bigpatpunchhard 4 weeks ago#16
He only rates weekly show matches if they're particularly good/get a lot of buzz, so it's usually 205 stuff and Seth Rollins matches.

This is Kenny Omega's fifth *****+ match in 2018 and we're just a little bit over half way through. Remember when people thought AJ Styles was on the same level as him? How's he been doing this year?

I have seen the Inoki/Saito jungle match from 1987 in its entirety. That was back when you were itching your daddy's pants.

I was also at the arena for Misawa/Kuwada.

I can talk to you on that level, I used to go to a lot of Japanese shows in the 90s because my dad was in the army over there.

And there are others on the Other board that go to Puro shows a lot these days. Stop trying to flex, buddy, it's only Gamefaqs.

I used to think his star ratings were pretty cool. Obviously I have my own opinions but I don't watch as much wrestling as Dave, and it was neat having one guy ranking matches from everywhere. With the recent 6-7 star matches it's gotten kinda silly. Idk how I feel anymore...it's hilarious seeing everyone's reactions at least

Bigpatrickpunchard is not a real NJPW fan. It's obvious that he probably started watching around 2012. He says that I "embarrassed" myself (which is impossible, by the way) because I watched the Inoki/Saito match from 1987 in its entirity when everybody knows that real fans stick with it on the good times and the bad. Like watching Tanahashi do jobs for Chyna. We fans endure it.

Also, he wishes he could get a job at an Apple store, or Radio Shack, or anything other than self proclaimed message board guru which pays nothing. He desperately wants to move out of his parents basement.
bigpatpunchhard 4 weeks ago#42
No, you embarrassed yourself because you're pretending to be an NJPW fan when you think the crowd is all men and you think staying "loyal" to a wrestling promotion when it's bad is a good thing.

Also my parents don't even have a basement so that's another embarrassing loss for you.

The finish to the tag match was fine and actually quite awesome, the ref told him before not to come in the ring again after he broke up Roddy's submission. He was too honourable to risk a DQ so he did the right thing instead when he knew his partner was beaten but wouldn't give in.

Might have to check out that Omega v Naito match. 

No comments on the ratings. Tired of seeing excellent matches not get the "5 stars" because it's not PWG, NJPW or one of his personal faves. It's transparent at this point.

    Why not include WWE? They've had five ***** matches this year compared to PWG's zero. Or would that ruin your "Meltzer is bias against WWE!!1 waahhh" narrative?

    I started trolling NJPW earlier this year but their fans are more sophisticated than WWE fans so I tend to use a bit more subtlety.

    I think the only reason he’s generous with 5 stars now is because the bar is 7. Had Omega never had more than 5 stars these matches wouldn’t have been given that rating. So these 5 star matches are really 3 star matches

    Of course this board turns to racist jokes. It's a fact that NJPW has an even gender balance and more attractive fans than the goblins who attend WWE.

    The funny part is at some New Japan shows there are more women in the crowds than men. New Japan tends to have a very young audience come to their shows. It's very noticable at the Kouraken shows they do.
