Even one of the best wrestlers in the world cant carry Kross to a good match. Brutal.

What is Meltzer’s criteria, how does he weigh a match to determine its star rating?
>Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena - 5
Great match that lost the plot at the end and devolved into terrible indieshit slop. 4 stars.
>CM Punk vs. GUNTHER - 4.5
Should be 5. Best match in years.
>Logan Paul & Drew McIntyre vs. Jelly Roll & Randy Orton - 3.75
Far too low. This was the second best match on the card and Logan continues to be the best wrestler in the world. 4.25
>Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed - 4
This was mostly boring and heatless outside of a couple cool Bron spots. 2.5
>Six tag team TLC match - 4.75
This is was just catnip for Dave's dumb spotmark brain. The match was a terrible obviously fake trampoline exhibition, no one cared about anyone in it, and it was a 12 man match that still somehow had 6 different people interfere. Indieshit gargage. 0.5
>Naomi vs. Rhea Ripley vs. IYO SKY - 4
Nothing special, but nothing too bad either. 3 stars
>Tiffany Stratton vs. Jade Cargill - 2
sure
>Becky Lynch vs. Lyra Valkyria - 3.75
This is the most offensive rating of all and proof he will pop for anything with weapons and spots. This was one of the worst matches of all time. A 30 minute long slog of absolute shit, filled with botches, and that no one cared about from start to finish. This was abysmal. -4 stars
>Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu (Steel Cage) - 2
>Dominik Mysterio vs. AJ Styles - 2.75
Two very boring shitty matches. He's right on here.
>Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez - 3
Dave must be a waifusimp giving these boring Raw tier matches this high of a rating. 2 stars at best.
>Sami Zayn vs. Karrion Kross - 1.5
fair

It's funny that Dave broke his rating scale so he can justify giving WWE some 5 stars while also satiating Tony

I really dont want to make a thread but vpn and netflix is the best choice now for wwe live events? I mean i think the wrestling isnt great and the angles are meh and its stupid that wwe is trying to work its fans with r truth, seth and kross etc BUT it does give me something to talk about at work and something to watch on the weekends. Idk, its like nfl, ive been watching it this long so why stop?

I thought AJ and Dominik was a fun comedy match. AJ is clearly sawdusted so him adapting to comedy style wrestling is fine. I hope AJ gets the same send off as Cena

It was not that bad. AJ's not as good as he used to be, but last year at Backlash he had an amazing match with Cody. It wasn't a super workrate kind of match. It's all about Dominik lying cheating and stealing.

Say what you want but Cena has been in the spotlight this entire final run. I just hope AJs retirement is a quiet bow.

Nobody cares at Sami Hogan and Kross is trash in the ring.
