Uncle Dave Jumping Off The Sinking AEW Ship?

[jimbob007]

Two matches over WrestleMania weekend have been given the prestigious accolade of being awarded 5* by Dave Meltzer. As reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the first 5 star rating would come in the main event of night one, as Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens would defeat The Usos to become the new Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. The second 5* match would come on night two, where Gunther would defeat Sheamus and Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match to retain the Intercontinental Championship.


Austin Theory defeated John Cena – **1/4
The Street Profits defeated Alpha Academy, Braun Strowman and Ricochet and The Viking Raiders – ***3/4
Seth Rollins defeated Logan Paul – ***1/2
Trish Stratus, Lita and Becky Lynch defeated Damage CTRL – **3/4
Rey Mysterio defeated Dominik Mysterio – ****
Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair – ****3/4
Pat McAfee defeated The Miz – *1/2
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The Usos – *****


Brock Lesnar defeated Omos – ***
Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler defeated Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, Sonya Deville and Chelsea Green and Natalya and Shotzi – **1/2
Gunther defeated Sheamus and Drew McIntyre -*****
Bianca Belair defeated Asuka – ***3/4
Shane McMahon/Snoop Dogg defeated The Miz – *
Edge defeated Finn Balor – ***3/4
Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes – ****1/2

Just bear in mind he never gave a Daniel Bryan match five stars until he went to AEW & now he has three of them-all with Dave's buddies & never gave a Kurt Angle match five stars. has he ever handed out two of them to a WWF/WWE PPV? Don't recall it happening. His boyfriend Tony must be fuming.

Meltzer smoking crack. KO/ Sammy vs USOs was not 5 star and RR and Cody not 4 1/2 stars. Rollins and Logan Paul was better and I hate Logan Paul.

I believe one of the ROH ppv matches got 5.25 stars, so probably not. I think he’s just gotten softer in his grading in his old age.

it's crazy to me that people still give a fuk what this idiot thinks about anything. especially now, during a time in history where so many legit players in the business have podcasts and chit. meanwhile this idiot who knows nothing continues to have an audience and even gets a thread with responses on an almost dead subforum.

The Omos match got 3 stars. Lmao

A match with constant finishers and kickouts is pretty much a 4+ star match to Dave Meltzer. Seemingly little else matters.

It is also what leads to most fans shouting „THIS IS AWESOME!”. Only works if it is a main event match with the top stars. Small guys from NXT doing that constantly kinda makes it lame.
