He probably recorded this before that match and that's why he didn't talk about it. This happens to poor old Tempo every year without fail and it will never not be funny.

[@CreightonRabs]

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.

Awards and ratings are not based on view count or sales!

[@ScarredCore1]

I never understood the emphasis on Generation Me and Will Ospreay from Uncle Dave Compared to Generation Me, Ospreay is actually talented and can go inside the squared circle, but these amounts of 5 star and beyond matches are absurd…

[@Phillyfan9307]

Not having Cody/Roman Night 2 on the list sure is a choice.

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

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.

[@dylanogg347]

Legend states that ever time Tempest gives praise to TNA, at least three blood vessels pop.

[@SapinskiMath]

How crazy is it that counting the Darby match that obviously happened just after this list was constructed, AND now as of 1/4 Ospreay's World's End matches got 5 and 5.25 stars, he had THIRTEEN 5+ matches just on his own. 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.

[@RobertJW]

@@SapinskiMath Ospreay's autism special interest is wrestling, and he's turned that into a superpower to be one of the best wrestlers you've ever seen.

@@LJ2000Phen1 He had couple matches recieve 5* despite for him not loving them just because crowd did, yet when it's Hogan vs Rock and Cody vs Roman it's just he can't give it 5* because they're not his style. That's just his AEW bias, AEW in just 5 years got 2 times more 5* matches than WWE in last 50+ years. According to him Ospreay is best wrestler ever by a huge margin, Okada and Omega combined have only 1 more 5*+ match than Will alone. Thinking his opinion has any value is idiotic.

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

[@ElLechero12]

Lmao the TBA bit at the end was hilarious

[@CapitalPSY]

At this rate, you guys are better off making these videos a January 1st special to keep your bases covered, lol.

[@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.

[@koopa6073]

Why don't you guys just wait until January to make these videos?

[@lazypaladin]

[@shotgunnsean]

Takeshita had so many 5 star matches! Did he even make in into the top 10 best wrestlers of the year?

[@chaosof99]

Would "5-star matches" be a good category for Survival Series? I mean you could limit it to naming only matchups, i.e. you can say "Okada vs. Omega" once, or maybe you have to also name how many 5-star matches those particular opponents had together?

[@imoutotrash390]

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.
