4/1/01 Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit ****1/4

1/19/03 Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit ****3/4

What were these missing? Not enough flips? Not "realistic enough"? Did he retroactively downgrade them due to "character issues"/"murderers can't have 5 star matches"?

My whole point is this: other than the fact Meltzer was the only one with enough time, money, and loneliness to do this shit first, what makes him the match ranking aficionado especially when he does such bizarre rankings like the ones I've mentioned. How can you watch HBK/Taker from WM25 (especially if you watched it live) and at the end of it go...eh...it was missing something...MINUS 1/4 STAR!
