>>9691992Scale is completely different now, even Meltzer said he was more lenient. 5 Stars is basically the old 4-star match.
The Omega vs Okada stuff broke his brain and then the stuff with Cornette, it seemed like he just started throwing snowflakes out for the fuck of it to piss off Jim.
I would say most of those mid 10's NJPW matches deserved it. But a chunk of the later ones did not. The NXT matches did not deserve it outside of Walter vs Dragunov and Andrade vs Gargano. WWE he gave the triple threat match and the tag 5 stars, which ... they're not. They're four-star matches with a hot crowd. And, I don't have enough space to type out all the AEW mistakes.
I think outside of Cody vs Dustin, Kenny vs Danielson and FTR vs Briscoes, he pumps the fuck out of the votes.
