Meltzer has certain hills he'll die on like claiming Hogan vs Andre at WM3 was like minus 4 stars or something ridiculous.
It's obviously not a good match, but the heat is insane, the storyline was great, and they had a match without any mistakes that ended exactly the way it should've to get over with audiences.

Sting not being in worthy of being in his HoF is another hill he will die on, because he claims that Sting never was a major player or draw at any point in his life.

He's right and for the longest time justified that he shouldn't be in his HOF because he basically only popped one huge buyrate and coasted on it's success for 20 years.

I dunno, is Sting in the hall of fame? If he's not, then you can't really argue with his point can you? If he is already in the hall of fame then you have to assume Dave has had a stroke or some kind of divorce-related breakdown.

Sting is a shitter who was propped up by being part of one of the biggest angles to ever exist in the hottest period the industry ever had and will have. Rednecks popping for him awkwardly being lowered into the ring doesn't mean he could wrestle worth a shit.

The HoF is mostly a joke but if Meltzer legit believes that, he's a joke too.

This is Meltzer's argument. Does the /pw/ hivemind agree?

True but that doesn't mean Sting didn't get jobbed out and then Seth broke his back. His whole run during that time made him look like total shit.

>WM25 did more buys than Starrcade 97
Lmao no. Starrcade did 700k domestic buys while WM25 did 605k domestic buys despite having a stronger card, a monopoly on PPV markets, and more households able to buy PPVs.

Nobody was buying WM25 for Gaytch vs Orton. Everybody was buying Starrcade 97 for Hogan vs Sting.

He's objectively wrong about Sting never being a major player. He's correct that Sting never drew a dime on his own.

It's almost like wrestling requires two individuals to have a match.

Legit stars draw dimes no matter what they're doing or who they're facing. Austin single-handedly saved this year's WrestleMania after having being retired for twenty years, and all he's doing is giving a Stunner to some fat guy.

The same Austin who co-headlined the least bought WM of all time?

Times were changing and Austin saved a sinking boat, the real bottom line is what people who bought a chair and watched the event think of the show

And they go home happy if Austin shows up

Yet Austin and Rock drew significantly less against other opponents than against each other.
And Sting was 1/2 of the main event of the biggest WCW PPV of all time.
