>>170436982015 was when he first started inflating the amount of 5 stars he gave out, giving out 4 five star matches each in 2015 & 2016, when he had only given out 12 in total from 2000 to 2014.
2017 was when it went stupid. Omega vs Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11 broke him, he gave it 6 stars a few days into the year and by the end of the year he gave Omega & Okada another 6 star match AND a 6.25. There were 10 five or higher matches from him.
2018 he broke the scale again with the 7 star Omega/Okada 2 out of 3 falls match, there were five matches that got 5.5 or 5.75, and another 15 five star matches. He finally started watching NXT (or NXT finally started catering to his indie tastes) so he started giving out 5 stars for WWE again.
In 2019 AEW starts, and from there he's been handing out 10+ five stars a year minimum.
He finally gave a proper WWE (not NXT) match five stars in 2022 with Gunther vs Sheamus & Cody vs Rollings HIAC.
So far in 2025 he's give out a 5.25 to Omega vs Gabe Kidd, Kidd got another 5 star last week and gave a Stardom match a 5.
