I could listen to Dave talk about wrestling for hours, top man.

Another thing that affected his enjoyment of Flair/Michaels was that he was dead set on it going on last, and was therefore a bit pissed off at its placement on the card.

Such as? Frankly, I can't think of one match that the IWC has generally agreed on that's 5 stars that Meltzer hasn't given the same.

Well it depends on how you define "generally agreed on".

Some of the matches I see people giving 5* like Bret/Perfect, Austin/HHH 3SOH, and Benoit/Angle RR 03 would come to mind, but I'm not sure how agreed on they are.

I see alot of people giving all 3 5* and Meltzer didn't, probably alot more too.

True but I believe Meltzer gave all those matches something ****1/2 - ****3/4. However, people like to split hairs and make a big deal over 1/2* - 1/4*.

Oh, I agree with you that Meltzer doesn't have a bias at all. I was just saying there are some matches that are pretty agreed upon within the IWC as 5* that Meltzer didn't give it to.(Not like it should matter anyway)

Out of those 3 matches, the only one I would really say he shortchanged is Bret/Perfect.(I think he gave it like ****1/4)

If there were ever matches he shortchanged IMO, it was definitely ECW matches.

I honestly can't think of any 5* ECW matches at all.

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs. Magnitude Kishiwada - K.Office Vol. 4

Awesome fucking match. Nakajima is the plucky youngster who won't go down and Mag's is gonna teach him a fuckin lesson. Super exciting down the stretch with a hot crowd. Definately see this shit. ****-****1/4

I wasn't talking about 5* matches, just matches in general.(Altho I disagree that there aren't any)

I think it's more that ECW was overrated by everyone else.

Leonardo LunchBoX · 04-13-2008, 02:34 PM

So whats the list of all the matches again? Someone should update the first post with it.
