How so? That's a personal classic match for me so I'm just trying to see your opinion.

There some botches in there, good match but it's not a classic match that I would and watch over and over again. I felt like the Punk leaving angle was the match instead of the match enhancing the angle if you get my drift.

Ah I see. The match does have botches but to me from the moment the video package starts to Punk blowing a kiss to McMahon, I'm always entertained.

Might have something to do with how hyped I was for the match going in.

I thought the whole 6 stars and 6 1/4 stars shyt was finally going to expose how ridiculous is to take Dave's ratings seriously. Unless you just wanna have fun with it and troll I honestly don't see any purpose on his views, specially given how shytty his taste is when it comes to current wrestling :heh:



You really don't need Dave's snowflakes to start a thread about which matches were better. Specially here in TSC :manny:



I think at this point there's a group who legit takes his ratings seriously because they see him as a sort of "Roger Ebert of wrestling" when it comes to match quality - which is fukking :mjlol: by itself but that's another topic - and in this day and age there's an obsession from fans of any form of entertainment to get their own opinions validated. Given that Dave is oldest and "most respected" wrestling journalist/critic, his views on stuff get dissected and talked about more than any other person.

It's fukking :snoop: but it seems it will never go away.


till you rant matches.
I would stay far away from critiquing others match rants.

His most egregious ratings aren't even Japan. At least with those it kind of makes sense. The ratings he gives to random PWG matches is absurd :pachaha:

It can be Dalton Castle vs. Marty Scurll in some random ten minute match where they're doing goofy shyt and no selling and Dave gives it four stars :laugh:

PWG fanboy Dave is the best thing ever. Because you know he has no clue of anything that happened there before he started going & he talks about it like he was the first person to really know about it & he's trying to let everybody else know it's out there :russ:

Him going 5 stars on the Superkliq vs Ricochet, Sydal, & Ospreay match because he was there was hilarious because he has/had weird things about build & shyt factoring into his ratings & that was just a match at BOLA to get the Bucks on the show.

Personal preference and all, I'd rate Almas/Drew and Dream/Black a tad higher
