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

The only numbers that matter are the number that my Workrateometer comes up with.

Judging from the Indy shows I've seen Workrate produces high cholesterol.

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 |

Taker vs HHH was no where near a 5 star match more like 3.5

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.....

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.

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.

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. |
