| PAOerfulone said: Also OP: Kenny Omega has actually broken the 6 Star barrier three times. His first match with Okada at Wrestle Kingdom last year was 6 stars and their rematch at Dominion was 6 1/4 stars, which is actually the highest rating Meltzer has ever given. And then their 3rd match at the G1 broke 6 stars as well. I think Meltzer my have a little bit of bias towards the Okada/Omega rivalries, just a little. |
I'm beginning to wonder the same thing, because I watched a bunch of the matches that he gave 5 and 6 stars to, and while they were definitely good - great even - I wouldn't put them as 'best of all time' level.
Alpha vs Omega was great, definitely 5 stars, but better than BOTH of the Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker Mania Matches? Nope. Not a snowball's chance in hell. Meltzer seems to have a bias for Japan or a bias against WWE.
Hell, I don't even think WWE is THAT great, but there's no way Michaels/Taker is rated lower than Alpha vs Omega. And this is coming from someone who has Jericho as my all time favorite and consider Omega to be quite possibly the best worker today. IT was good, it was nowhere near the level of Taker/Michaels.
Or hell, JEricho Michaels.
Point is, I either just 'don't get' what Meltzer sees in Japanese wrestling, or he has a boner. Either way, I don't agree.
