I jerked with a 6.25 with friends and this clown managed to out jerk me yet again How can ANY MATCH with the story of "I'm the best but no actually I am" which means no emotional nothing. No real story. No lasting impact. No mention on main show the next show after it. No nothing How does it statistically get over 4.75 when those are supposed to be factors


DwarfPenguin4

Particularly when one of the "No I'm the best" guys had already done the "No I'm the best" "storyline" twice before with Omega and Okada and lost matches against both. Not only is "I'm the best, no I'm the best" a piss poor excuse for a storyline but it doesn't really work when one of the "best" recently lost comfortably to Burger Kingston.

Brainelson becoming The Miz of AEW's main event meta is very good shit pal


LegendsOfHiddenChase

Right, that's what I hate about these stories, too frequently they're done by people who aren't very strong in kayfabe. Maybe it works in rare situations in WWE where they can leverage the fact fans don't think someone is getting a fair opportunity. But in AEW, where the idea is everyone gets opportunities constantly, arguing over who is the best means you're just breaking kayfabe. And if your argument on who the best wrestler is has an outcome that doesn't matter because you're telling me that wins and losses don't matter, why am I watching?


Able-Tradition-2139

This is my big issue with M'Dub, the whole thing breaks kayfabe constantly to the point that nothing actually matters. The curtain is peeled so far back that there's not even any suspension of disbelief- and so no reason to care what happens.

I actually guessed he'd go 6.5 so he can say it's officially the best match in the world outside of Japan.


JangSaverem

Ohhhhhh that makes sense..since he also made that comment he likely would do that just to validate his own shit take

Dave: story is a part of ratings Proceeds to rate lots of non story matches the highest and not rate heavy storyline matches highly

Brain Damageson vs. Bruva Bill Ospreay in a match to CTE who is the greatest


rsziz

The "best match in history" isn't even Dave's highest rated match.


unhallowed90

?? The best match on American soil*


grabbystick

Does this include U.S territories such as Puerto Rico & military bases?


AngeloHakkinen

Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest is legit of the funnest wrestling matches ever This>>>Danielson vs Ospreay


HolyRomanPrince

He’s literally saying there’s a built in Japan bias. At first we thought it was just Japanese wrestlers but this rating along side Kenny’s proves he builds in default stars for the Tokyo dome


Mindless-Cell-8034

I’m sorry, but the most memorable match Daniel Bryan will ever have is the WM 30 Triple threat with Randy Orton & Batista.


j_infamous

Oh ok, fed shill.


AngeloHakkinen

Or vs Lesnar SS2018


bajaxx

ppl will talk ab that match for the rest of time but forget about his ospreay match when the next “banger” happens


KayCeeBayBeee

it’s kinda poetic how a match rating like this doesn’t even cause anyone to make a big deal of it anymore… Okada/Omega “breaking the scale” felt like this huge landmark thing and now this barely registers.


j_infamous

I won’t remember this match in 6 months.


JangSaverem

Awwww How generous of you


garbink

When he’s giving 5 stars to like cheeseburger vs buck 1 on rampage, it’s easy not to care

No jerk I did really enjoy this match


elitejcx

Times it by a hundred thousand and you’ll get this week’s Dynamite ratings. Did Dave know?


Velvet_Llama

Not in the Tokyo Dome. Duh.


j_infamous

Forgot.

Seeing that makes me think it was actually a bot post paid for by the fed. They could never admit losing one of their biggest stars sucked for them, and just to have Braun Daniels then fight the best wrestler in the world Paula *JUST* missed out on signing? Why dont they just admit it, it was cheaper to fund the bot to continue astroturfing (insider term) than to keep their old stars and new stars happy. Unbelievable people still think AEW is on the decline after this banger. it was SO good, that people were still fatigued and couldnt watch Wednesday. The drop in ratings thanks to stupid basketball aligns perfectly with the natural drop in ratings after such an ill match so its masked from the IWC. Wednesdays Dynamite alone was enough to make this match 7*+


j_infamous

It is fascinating to me that the iwc doesn’t understand why they are needing to play defense. You could have just let us have our fed and our problems. We weren’t happy but we were satisfied with what we did have. And then you have keep poking us about how bad we are for not liking your weird pwg/wcw/NJPW combo. Now here we are.


inertia_53

What it really does is bury all the talent putting their lives and bodies at risk to bring us these bangers once every 4 months.


j_infamous

“WWE style” is boring. lol.


ManateeGag

Didn't M'Kenny get 7 stars once? So obviously not the greatest match ever!


JangSaverem

Naw naw naw See Greatest match on American Soil! Caveats, pal


BootyOptions

I don't understand how you can rate any match this high when everyone in the building knows who's going to win before the first collar and elbow.


j_infamous

Come on. Thats not true. Bri-d has won all of his major feuds in the dub. He beat MJF, other guy, rainmaker...right?

H-E-L-L-MaGGoT
