Imagine if there was a football reporter that constantly criticizes and buries the NFL, but gushes about how great the peewee football and the American Football League of China is
Do you really think he'd be taken seriously? Do you think he'd have a job, constantly burying the big leagues and putting over the minor leagues? Why is this tolerated in wrestling but nowhere else? Why do we allow someone who has no experience have such control and influence over our sport?
>getting worked by the dude who rates fake fights
OHNONONONONONONONO
Wrestling isn’t a sport, it’s performance art and thus open to criticism.
Because wrestling is a work ya mark
Why does OP allow someone who has no experience to live rent free in his brain?
Ya seethe, E-Drone?
NJPW is merit based like the NFL, WWE isnt.
>Our sport
There’s your problem dickhead, wresting isn’t a sport, it’s entertainment. The reason Meltz doesn’t give the big leagues 5 stars is the same reason movie reviewers don’t give Avengers/Transformers/Star Wars 10/10 scores. It’s formulaic, boring to watch unless you’ve invested a lot of time in to it already, and feeds off of the nostalgia you feel when you watch it.
Besides, none of that matters because it’s an entirely subjective medium. You might like WWE for its matches, you might like NJPW for its matches. It literally doesn’t matter what some old boomer says about them and if you legitimately place stick into what he says then consider suicide
When was the last time the NFL allowed one of the teams to pick their own referee?
>b-b-b-but le Meltzer magoo
>Most popular thing can never be shit
Just how retarded are you?
>Football
>NFL
You mean handegg mate?
Sure is pretty great revenue and TV deals for a product that you claim to be "shit."
Is it genuinely that hard to accept Magoo's bias against WWE?
NXT is not WWE.
>bias against WWE?
are you some kind of mongoloid? he rated Gargano vs Cole like 6 stars! Metlzer is TOO lenient towards WWE more like it
hmm the shows that were shitty got shitty ratings and the shows that were good got good ratings
how's this shill taken seriously? really makes ya think
Oh wow a dying medium got worked into believing that pajeet facebook likes offered to throw money at anything and tie down any form of entertainment they could get their hands on?
Shocking.
The ratings are like that for a reason boomer, and if they're doing so well then explain the curtain they needed last night.
No, popularity means something is successful
eat more McDonald's
If you took pictures 2 hours before bell time at AEW like people did with WWE, there wouldnt be any fans either.
Even if it was 500 people, I'd rather have 500 passionate sports entertainment fans over 10,000 snarky obese virgins
I think you just described Michelle Beadle
McDonalds is the GOAT fast food establishment and you'd expose yourself as a moron if you argued otherwise
man you're almost there....see you said 'successful'
you didn't say it was 'good'
NXT is not WWE, brainlet.
Popular things are good you fucking idiot, that's why they're popular. A "great match" in front of 10 people is literally worthless.
so the curtain was just hiding a big surprise?
What about a "great match" in front of two curtains?
ok sorry you're breaking kayfabe, can't believe you're real anymore, nobody is this fucking stupid
Whether something is good or not is purely a matter of personal taste. I hate Bob Dylan but he's obviously done something right to gain mass appeal. There's a reason people write articles about him and not some garage band nobody has heard of.
Glad to see you don't have an argument. Why don't you cry about it to Dave Meltzer?
that's a bad argument my dude
yea art is subjective
it can still be judged objectively good or bad when you measure a lot of subjective opinions, especially the opinions of experts
would you say that The Beatles and 6ix9ine are objectively just as good as each other?
It is owned and funded by WWE
Imagine if there was a film reporter that constantly criticizes and buries Disney, but gushes about how great sundance and Kurosawa are?
Do you really think he'd be taken seriously? Do you think he'd have a job, constantly burying the big studios and putting over the small studios? Why is this tolerated in film but nowhere else? Why do we allow someone who has no experience have such control and influence over our industry?
grow a chin
Conservative Radio was doing this all the time with the NFL and XFL when Kaepernick was doing his kneeling bullshit
Imagine if there was a food critic that constantly criticizes and buries McDonalds, but gushes about how great restaurants with Michelin stars are?
Do you really think he'd be taken seriously? Do you think he'd have a job, constantly burying the big fast food chains and putting over the small eateries? Why is this tolerated in food but nowhere else? Why do we allow someone who has no experience have such control and influence over our industry?
Obviously Inoki and his ilk are an exception
Imagine if playfighting could actually draw dimes like the NFL
>Magoo
Die boomer
