Glad he can make a living off of this, but I've truly never cared what he thinks.

Kind of like most peoples reactions to St. Jimmy posts, just without the making a living part.

Gertner 07-13-2012 10:35 AM
The only numbers that matter are the number that my Workrateometer comes up with.

St. Jimmy 07-13-2012 02:08 PM
Workrateometer is what produces stars, Gertie.

Gertner 07-13-2012 02:10 PM
Judging from the Indy shows I've seen Workrate produces high cholesterol.

St. Jimmy 07-13-2012 02:11 PM
Only in CZW, they put the filter on backwards.

DB vs Sheamus was better than Cenas match.

Hanso Amore 07-13-2012 02:36 PM
Seems like he tosses 4 and a half stars around too much.

5 stars is supposed to be a Perfect match that is a classic.

none of those were "almost" that.

Always hated these ratings as well. Kenta and Mitsuawa had basically the same match over and over, with the same spots, and they were just crapping out 5 stars

St. Jimmy 07-13-2012 03:03 PM
Davey vs. Elgin was a perfect match.

Big Vic 07-13-2012 03:33 PM
Taker vs HHH was no where near a 5 star match more like 3.5

Nicky Fives 07-13-2012 05:11 PM
I don't care what he says if he doesn't think HHH/Taker wasn't 5-star.....no match on that list can even compare, especially when they aren't on the biggest show in professional wrestling history.....

MoFo 07-13-2012 05:19 PM
So basically Meltzer is an indy mark.

KIRA 07-13-2012 05:37 PM
He gave Punk/Bryan A 4 1/2 wtf ?

that match was a wrestling dream come true.

Pfft

the Jericho - Punk matches from wrestlemania and extreme rules were four stars

Gertner 07-14-2012 01:33 PM
Richards vs Elgin was barely two stars. Everybody knew who was gonna win and it was basically two vanilla midget wrestling in front of fat, lazy basement dwelling virgins, no selling everything, while 50 people watched at home, because ROH is a bush league fed.

St. Jimmy 07-15-2012 02:19 AM
Gertner is Gabe Sapolsky

Elgin is more like a vanilla tank, to be fair.

Watched about half of the Elgin v. Richards "5 star" match. I'd tried to be as objective as possible and figured I could be as I've never really bothered to watch ROH. So I start watching this match and well......I really don't have the time to type up the amount of disdain I have for what I saw happen in that match, so I'll just say that I understand why no one watches. One small tidbit that was fucking astonishing, was watching Elgin no sell a superplex.

HHH/Taker was MOTY so far and I doubt it gets beat. 5 Stars all the way

MoFo 10-18-2012 09:16 AM
Michael Elgin is such a shit wrestling name.

MoFo 10-18-2012 09:18 AM
'Hybrid fighting rules'

I go back and forth between that and Cena vs Lesnar. Cena vs Lesnar had a ridiculous "big fight feel" especially for Extreme Rules and it didn't disappoint. It was pretty perfectly booked and the way they pulled the crowd in at the end to going crazy for Cena was beautiful.

Couple those with the brilliant matches between Sheamus/Bryan and Punk/Jericho at Extreme Rules and April was one of the best months for wrestling matches I can ever remember.

I remember when people used to give me shit for bashing ROH. Those were the days.
