Henare getting 5 stars is hilarious. The guy is funny and I even kind of like him, but this is crazy. I guess it's not as insane as all The Young Cuck matches that have 5 stars, but it's just another indicator that you can't compare Meltzer's ratings from post 2017 with Meltzer's ratings from before 2017. Even by his unique taste, his standards have considerably fallen, and there's no way he'd tell you with a straight face that Henare VS Takagi is better than over 70% of the matches he gave 4.75 back in the 80s, 90s and 00s.
