Man I sure do love watching Wrestling for the storylines!

K? And?

He does in a way. I don't think CM Punk vs John Cena would have gotten a 5 stars without the storyline build.

me have personal issue with u, we fight
me in tourney, u in tourney, we fight
me want championship, u champion, we fight

there's nothing to rate because this covers the spectrum. it's the performances that matter. he doesn't rate promos or vignettes but those would be valid too

Did you not hear him sperging about Kenta's heel turn and how it was one of the best angles of all time?

storytelling in wrestling is the bottom of the barrel. There are Porn movies that have better plot than wrestling as a whole

I would say the nWo is a *****3/4 storyline overall. Meltz would never rate it such because he has gay problems but it truly is. Other honorary candidates are
>Hogan / Andre (taken as the entirety of the feud not just the match at Mania)
>Vince / Austin
>Dusty Rhodes / Ric Flair (and the larger plot of Rhodes vs the Four Horseman)
>Triple H / Dimes (ongoing feud)
>Von Erichs / Freebirds
>Lawler / Dundee

thast nwjp, WWE is more like
me hate you
me attempt to kayfabe murder you
first match ends in dq
now we in cage

>tfw you watch it and it's kinda shit
>muh shitty "worked" elbows
>muh dropkick
>kenta still fucking sucks
wrestling fans these days have such a low bar for quality

this but unironically

dumb logic when any form of entertainment can be stated in the same way

Because he prefers matches.

Punk/Cena was dimes as fuck, mainly due to the story.
Demon/Fiend will also be dimes (if Vince doesnt fuck it up) again, due to story.

Unfourtunately its boring ass shit like this. Unlike when based Russo was writing.

WWE and NJPW's way of presenting pro wrestling are very different and both could work provided your roster compliments said style. That's why it's important to build the show around your talent's strengths or find talent that work the style you want, not signing indy midget #348 just so other companies can't have him.

wrestling is about the chops and the suplexes, not some chucklefuck promo written by a pencil neck hollywood nobody

Because he doesn't have the attention span for it. Reminder that his review of Jay White vs Naito had him state that Jay's standard spots were new and a homage to Kenny Omega which blatantly shows that he didn't even watch his other matches.
Meltzer is only good for news and history and even then its reliant on the quality of his sources and almost exclusively reliable for wwe shit and nothing else.
This dude reported that Shibata's injury was a work, that Kana/Asuka was the ace of Stardom and that Pollyanna was Emi Sakura's alter ego. He's pretty clueless and very clearly doesn't watch wrestling at all. He's also blatantly unable to discern the difference between good wrestling and good video production which explains his inflated NJPW ratings and dislike of Kento Miyahara before seeing him in person and suddenly loving him because the crowd popped for him.

Meltzer frequently gets basic shit like this wrong, he also said that Ibushi only recently started doing Nakumura's finisher

gonna add Hogan/Macho Man

Yeah, because he doesn't watch the matches. He's obviously one of these dudes who puts it on and starts doing something else and then says it's good. Like, he watches it as background noise.
He also said KENTA stole Daniel Bryan's submission eventhough that was KENTA's move as well and Bryan stole his entire offense when he signed with WWE.

Why doesn't he just watch the AI fight in WWE 2K?

CHAD Shepard would be giving out accurate ratings for matches if he actually rated. However, in CHAD Shepard's pin point accuracy of facts, he knows fake fighting doesn't need ratings since they are subjective to the viewers at home.

Ratings are inherently objective when done correctly because they need to be done with regard to criteria which a scale is based on. Meltzer throws random numbers based on nothing at all so I just ignore him.

Hard to rate since storylines can take months or even years to complete and can have various highs and lows and intertwine into other feuds at the drop of a hat.

To many variables to properly give a rating.

imagine being this wrong

He's a simp for MOVEZ

Austin vs McMahon was 9 stars

Because only Triple H storylines would get good ratings

you know its because uhhhhh you know remmeber in 1976 when Rick Flaire had a five star match with Mitch McMitchell in the Charlotte Arena

People who used to watch wrestling him said he only cared about the 4-star matches. This was in the 90s.

honma beating ishii in the g1 was a five star moment

Gonna add Horsemen/Luger Turning on the Horsemen Barry Windham turning on Luger and joining. Pretty much all Horsemen stories from 85 to 88 plus last part of 89 and beginning of 90 was awesome.

Andre and Hogan was a great one.. Heenan at his kino best stirring the pot getting Andre to finally turn heel and get what he deserved for fucking years of never going for the world title anywhere he was. Damn, they used to be great at telling stories in the 80s, what in the hell happened? I guess weekly shows and not letting stories simmer over time.. Savage and Hogan was damn year long tale of jealousy on both ends over the title and the bitch.
