​@@henny925He mentioned that Osprey was probably gonna have a five star match at Worlds End, he made no mention of the Darby match.

[@SapinskiMath]

How crazy is it that counting the Darby match that obviously happened just after this list was constructed, Ospreay has had ELEVEN 5+ matches just on his own, and may have as many as THIRTEEN once Dave publishes his piece on WE. That's inhuman, I'm sorry.

[@RobertJW]

More than one match a month on average. Ludicrous.

[@CreightonRabs]

@@SapinskiMath Makes you wonder about Meltzer's credibility. I'll take War Games 2024 and the amazing storytelling over some Brit who does flippy spots to appease some senile dirt sheet writer.

[@SapinskiMath]

@CreightonRabs well, you hit it on the head with storytelling. Whether you agree with the spots he or anyone else does or not, you can't just do moves for the sake of doing moves. They have to mean something towards a bigger narrative, what does it all lead to. And Will just has it, it seems, he knows how to maximize the impact of every move he does and takes, as well as the style and personality of his opponent, because you have to make them look good, too.

[@kev49339]

Because it had like 72 interferences, matches like that tend not to rate high. See EVIL or House of Torture in NJPW.

Will Osprey casually putting up 11 five star matches in a year is absolutely wild. Then you add the other two from last night? Straight up foolishness

[@2ndAAGames]

The real, serious answer is that ad revenue is significantly lower in January and significantly higher in December. Based on the fact that they decided to paywall the Monday Night War, I'd guess they're quite unwilling to post it in the lowest ad rev month of the year.

[@Various_forms_of_Doormamu]

[@SnapGrapplePop]

Ospreay has had so many 5 star or higher matches in 2024, that they alone would put him in the top 10 for most ever. And that’s not counting the 2 in one day that he might have got at Worlds End

[@rustyirish7904]

Ospreay vs Fletcher 3 was def another 5 star match. I dont think those two could do less than 5 together if they tried

[@JoshAllen-k3d]

I haven’t seen Worlds end yet but since apparently he made to the finals he probably had another 2 five star matches as well 😅

[@joepecoraro2016]

My first live wrestling event was Dynasty. It might also be my last, I don’t think any show could top it from a technical wrestling standpoint.

[@pele1602]

I'm not gonna lie, being lucky enough to witness Ospreay/Ricochet/Takeshita live and in person just makes it that much easier to say it's my match of the year, without fail every time that Billy Goat comes to the ring we all know it'll be that much better

[@years-ti7xl]

I'm more convinced than ever that Ospreay truly is the British AJ Styles if he's getting constant bangers just because.

[@saqib7965]

He's a perfect mix of AJ styles Kenny omega and Prince puma aka ricochet. Phenomenal talent and chemistry with everyone

[@TheLostScout]

I was at ALL OUT and that match is still my favorite match of the year

[@ParodyMenOnline]

Ospreay getting 3 five star matches between this video being recorded and released is the most Will Ospreay thing ever lol

[@diendong]

2024 is the first time that each month saw 5 star matches. AEW is one match away to tie with All Japan.

[@SageVallant]

21:10 lol Almost covered your bases, Tempest. Almost.

[@easter_sunday]

I support cinematic matches, and premiering them during PLE’s. Also, if you are simultaneously a fan of long form storytelling and ECW level intensity in your content, a workaround is to organize it like a league with teams, captains, and a GM that frame a competition greater than any single title. Under this format, storylines can move forward no matter who is individually injured. It also pushes Kayfabe in a serious way because a spot on a team would be challenged and potentially compromised by an injury, or any other element involved with team sports storylines.

[@patrickyoung1412]

Only 2 WWE matches is Crazy Dave is wild

[@dashtoroya2838]

It used to be zero a few years ago lol.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

because they don't give star ratings to promos, video packages or "cinematic segments".

[@chocobosage]

Ahh, I hope this is followed by a list of Womens matches that Dave should've given 5+ Stars too.

[@DenOfVipers]

Right? Not ONE?

[@souvikdeb808]

exactly

[@ElLechero12]

Lmao the TBA bit at the end was hilarious

[@killingragethrowback]

Ospreay really turned out to be the MVP for AEW this year. Of course he's hated! Because so many people want AEW to fail so they can go back to WWE, and WWE can go back to sucking ass because there's no competition anymore.

If you're a WWE fan, you probably won't like this list at all, given Meltzer's long standing bias against WWE. It would be nice if there was another writer who wasn't so vehemently anti-WWE offering an alternative to Meltzer, but it is what it is.

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Sorry that these are match ratings and not segment ratings lmao. You can't watch a company that is open about not being as in-ring focused and then cry when they don't get loads of accolades for in-ring stuff.

No women's matches? Seriously! Mercedes vs Statlander was definitely a 5 star match imo and there second encounter maybe even better, but I get that not being inincluded being it was before Worlds End. The first match though there is no excuse! And then Mercedes NJPW match was incredible too.

[@MJ-gq5kg]

It's 2024, please don't give Meltzer more recognition. All the dirtsheet marks who grew up in the 2000s hold him in high regard for no reason. The bias is so much more prevalent in recent times. Also the fact he gets so many news reports wrong nowadays. Reports of Afa passing, the AEW and warner bros internal memo reports, Pat Mcafee missing a raw taping bcoz of his father-in-law passing and him saying it's for storyline reasons, talking condescendingly to Kevin Sullivan while writing his obituary, reporting rock and triple h future match plans based on a video 10 yrs ago even though triple h had severe heart issues.

[@RonnieHoward-nr7gv]

Why should people change their opinion on someone based off how you feel? The people that value his opinion do so because they share the same qualities he does. Nothing wrong with that. If you have the same tastes as someone you’d value their opinion on things as well. And dirt sheets have never been presented as 100% truth. There’s nothing wrong with reporting on rumors. If some idiot takes rumors as facts that’s not the fault of the dirt sheet. That’s the idiots fault. Seems like you need to stop putting so much value on others opinions or how much other people value others opinions. You’re right it’s 2024. You don’t have the read or watch anything you don’t want to. If you don’t care about someone’s opinion don’t listen to it. Pretty simple. But don’t tell others who or what they shouldn’t value. That’s just dumb.
