Still don't get why people put so much value in this guy's ratings on either side of the fence, one side treats it like gospel whereas the other side seethes about him not giving 5 stars to their favorites like Angle. It's his personal opinion, and clearly he has a preference for silly gook/spic shit, which is fine, but that doesn't make his ratings objective. There's at the very least a thousand people in the wrestling fanbase who'd prefer a Tommy Rich vs Bobby Eaton 20 minute headlock and powerslam match over something David R. rated 5+ stars. He pretty much doesn't have any credibility because he's never worked, never booked and never put together a match either, all he did was hang around wrestlers back in the day like a ring rat.
>b-b-but he's a historian!
So is Cornette and he's been far, far more involved in the biz than Dave, yet all of you disregard and shit on his opinions all the time.
