He looks like Dennis Quaid with coke bloat haha But is he controversial in his wrestling opinions or in general? Why do you disagree with him always? I don't know a thing about the dude
@@KaladinVegapunk I’ll try and be as base level and unbiased as possible. Dave Meltzer runs the Wrestling Observer. A former irl newsletter but now it’s just online. Where he details stuff going on in the wrestling community. In the 80’s he started reviewing matches on a star scale. This was meant to be a 1-5 scale. But as years have gone on he’s continuously gone off the scale forwards or backwards. A lot of people believe it should stay 1-5 for fairness, etc. But (and this is where I’ll be a little biased lmao) he also is just weirdly stingy with 5 stars anywhere but NJPW, for instance. KURT ANGLE. Has 0 5 Star Matches. Not in WWE, NOT EVEN IN TNA! (Where he arguably did his best in ring work.) Obviously it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things but it’s just wild how the dude is so weird with his ratings.
Funnily enough, they had a match at Battleground in 2013 for the IC championship, and that match was actually not too bad. Nothing spectacular dont get me wrong, but it was decent.
Bayley and Alexa did good with what they were given, as they were great as both an optimistic face and a savage heel respectively, but WWE themselves were responsible for ruining the potential, as they handled the booking, and the creative ideas VERY poorly. They may not be the best in the world, but Alexa and Bayley are competent performers who regularly have good matches, and good characters to connect with the audience. Both women should’ve been treated better in this feud.
To make matters even worse, the infamous “Bayley, This Is Your Life” segment took place in my home state and everyone in Greenville got severely offended by the segment, due to how dehumanizing it was.
@@cadillacjohn1994Even Kurt Angle during a later Raw broadcast called it one of the absolute worst things he had ever seen in his entire career. It was unprofessional, selfish, and I still think WWE should’ve apologized to the people of South Carolina for having to witness a terrible tragedy like the aforementioned segment. I would write: “One behalf of WWE, we would like to sincerely apologize to the people of South Carolina who may have been severely offended by the segment involving Alexa Bliss and Bayley during a recent broadcast of Raw that could’ve easily construed as disrespect for the state of South Carolina, its flag, and cultures alike.”
@@AustinDickerson2001Tiger I agree with that statement. And yes, they absolutely owe an apology to everyone. The sad thing is… they probably will never do it.
Taker vs. Gonzalez was 1.25 stars. Goldberg vs. Lesnar was 1.25 stars. This video covers matches that were given *_ZERO_* stars by Dave Meltzer. Don't bring in any bad matches from your book and automatically expect them to be in this video. If Dave didn't give the match ZERO stars/dud, it is excluded (this also means matches that are at least 0.25 stars do not count, the match MUST BE RATED 0.00 STARS, which also means matches that are given negative stars also do not count).
I still remember that Bliss vs Bayley match and was ATROCIOUS. Weeks of Bayley not being able to hit Bliss with the kendo stick because she was so pure and kind. Everybody would’ve thought the climax of the match would be Bayley finally bursting into Bliss with the kendo stick, but no, she still couldn’t hit her and she lost because of that. Perfect example of WWE making babyfaces act like fools instead of good people. Worst match I’ve ever witnessed for sure.
How is that? If Dave only cared for the indies and NJPW, HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN GUNTHER VS SHEAMUS ZERO STARS OFF THE BAT! And this brings us to another question: If Dave only cared for the indies and NJPW, HOW COULD HE GIVE GUNTHER VS SHEAMUS AT CLASH AT THE CASTLE FIVE STARS? There's no logic behind your statement.
@@Bls-of1ld lol he is right though . Plus Meltzer is no perfect but you have to realise that not every WWE matches are memorable nor greatest like these 10 matches are example given by Lamia
I’m pretty sure a match is so bad Meltzer gives it minus stars. But my thoughts on the list: 10. If they did a regular match, I think it would’ve been a little bit better. 9. A baby face who has no idea on how to use a weapon. 8. 2 minutes……what was the point? 7. This was a pre taped match. However, the storytelling was good though. 6. Why did this match need to be on that show? 5. Why did this match need to happen then? 4. The stupidest decision ever. (And then he won it one more time in 2020 which was a horrible decision.) 3. Although it was a bad choice (or at least the way Daniel lost it), Daniel got even more over and Vince did everything to ruin him but this made him get him even more over. 2. Well, in his defense, he did had to start at the bottom and had to slowly build his way back up. 1. WWE didn’t want to push Jack Swagger anymore, and then they didn’t want to have the Big Show lose either. (Why even make this match in the first place?)
LMAO I forgot that jack swagger was world heavyweight champion in 2010 on smackdown I'm glad kane had a better title reign than jack did and the best match at Armageddon 2002 was Victoria vs Trish stratus vs Jacqueline that era of women's wrestling prior to Johnny Ace hiring swimsuit models needs to be talked about more often.
The two had good in ring chemistry too, and could’ve offered us a better bout as a regular singles match, but WWE didn’t go with that route, and the match itself was really just a way to say goodbye to Ronda, so they could move on.
Rousey Bazler was so bad even the fans chanted boring and the fans had no interest in the match i was expecting such a better match from them cos i know how good they can really be
A lot of squash matches should get a zero rating. One that comes to mind is Brock vs Kofi. A squash match that didn't make sense. Especially since it was a championship match.
They could’ve avoided this by having Jericho win from Owens at Mania, and then have Lesnar win the Universal title at another ppv event down the road, after he spends Mania destroying OLDberg in a regular singles bout.
I've seen all the negative 5 star matches and dear lord. Hate to say it, but warrior vs hogan is probably the best match of the negative 5 star matches, which should say what the quality of the others is.
A lot of it wasn’t his fault tbf. He was great on the mic, his move set was relatively diverse and he came up with 3 good separate characters because the wwe kept burying him.
Who cares about Meltzer's opinion some of the star ratings he gave AEW matches are a joke. Especially all the four and five stars he gave mediocre matches.
Well if the match rating stars are a key than how come he gave Triple H vs Roman Reigns at Mania 32 FOUR FREAKING STARS?! The match had wrestling like literally all the 10 matches except it went for like 30 minutes and the only spot that got cheered was literally Roman accidentally Spearing Stephanie which showcased that future viscous side of Roman Reigns later to come. So did that Mania 32 main event earn 4 stars because of that single spot???
For me, watching my two favourites compete (Batista & Kane) at a time when Batista was built like a tank and Kane being masked is automatically a 5 star for me. I know this doesn’t meet the criteria though.
how the hell was braun vs bray a 0 star rating???? i watched that alots of people liked it and it had a good story too....at lest 2 or 3 in terms of ring work....
What about doing a top 10 worst matches that deserved 0 stars out of all matches even one with more then 0 stars that were so bad that they deserved 0 stars
Wrong the stars mean a lot in the pro wrestling business and he has credibility that you will never have Mark and you're jealous of that. These are facts and what you said is false factually incorrect opinion
Wrong Dave Meltzer star system has credibility and you have none at all mark. You're just jealous of him and he knows more than you and you never will be on his level
@dmar28 nope I'm not a troll like you mark. You are talking to 50-year-old man who is a former pro wrestler who helps train the future of this business and my family has been in the pro wrestling business since the 70s when they wrestled in WCCW and my little brother is a graduate of Harley Race's world league Wrestling Academy and is now learning Lucha Libre. Everything I said is fact in reality and how the pro wrestling business Works something you don't know about just like every mark because you don't have any training or education in the business and you never graduated pro wrestling school so you have no clue what you're talking about at all. It's a fact Meltzer has more credibility and knows better than the mark like you. You're probably one of them WWE Sports entertainment fans that doesn't like wrestling or pro wrestling but like that Hollywood Disney water down restricted crap that they call Sports entertainment
Nope in fact it doesn't question his credibility because the Young Bucks and Jon Moxley have all wrestled in New Japan where the best pro wrestlers in the world wrestle only. Sorry you're used to watered-down restricted Hollywood Disney corporate bull crap Sports entertainment like WWE that's not pro wrestling
Let's see you wear the same mask in the ring, from the start of your career to when you decide to end your career, while I watch online and see to it that the crowd would either react negatively or stay dead silent.
I’m surprised John Cena vs Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014 wasn’t on this list. The match was so boring it deserved negative stars for being a 16 minute squash match by Lesnar repeatedly suplexing Cena.
"One of the worst women's matches in WWE history" Gotta be honest, I've never seen a women's match that was good. They always look like the ring is 3x too big for them and while flexible, they rarely stick their moves.
