Meltzer math is like playjng D&D. -2.5 stars for women. +2 stars for NJPW. +3.5 for Will, Elite or Danielson. +2 for heat. +8 if he has a hotdog

You had me until the 8 for the hot dog...if it was 4, that math might actually be onto something

@@mattp1224 I could have said 4, but Meltzer really appreciates when a dog is 12 inches as advertised. We all learned that during a retro star guessing. As Steve said, “Meltzer went glizzy overdrive” before Big Show Vs Cody.

It's nothing like D&D the number's make way more sense then melts math a 4 is a 5 and a 6 is a 4 so a 4.45 is also a 5 i am so glad this man is not a accountant

It’s gotten to the point were I get excited for Dave Meltzer’s ratings because I can’t wait for you two to react to them.

Thank you guys for covering AEW, in a way that feels fair and objective ❤

You can almost see a bit of soul leave his body but when steve is wrong he's almost giddy lol

Meltzer works in a vortex - rates a promotion's matches high, then talks about how highly rated they are as a way to make a general point that the "wrestling is better." It is a lot like going on Yelp and rating your own restaurant, then telling people how beloved the restaurant is. The place is rarely busy, the food is okay, service is terrible, and a negative public reputation has formed - all of it being very apparent with results that track. But you know, best restaurant ever. A true gourmet burger shack.

Wasn't expecting this until tomorrow so this is fucking great!

Larson only being a quarter star off on all his last predictions is basically him going 6/6 by Meltzer's Kurt Angle math 😂

Another classic Friendo Club Wrestling video

Brood still has the best theme song in wrestling ever

I saw the star ratings for DoN early, Death Triangle/BBG and Cassidy/Trent were way too high imho. Jaw hit the floor on the former one

You guys like basketball. Maybe need a shot clock on these because Steve really took forever to guess the main event.

Way I see Meltzer's star ratings is this: It's not 0-5 stars, it's 0-7, until such a time where he feels there's a better match that the 7* Okada vs Omega match. Convoluted I know, but I'm just tryna make sense of it 😅

Y’all make us excited for Dave’s ratings now, just for your reactions! 4 1/2 stars for not even technically a match is wild 😂

Steve's Meltzer impression always gets me 😂 It's "very good".

Anarchy in the arena has the right star rating for the action. However they played the final countdown so it’s an instant 97 stars.

Okay this is gonna sound insane, but did you guys use to do gaming videos? I know for a fact i know you from somewhere, but i only got into wrestling recently but know you from somewhere

Imagine rating a wrestling match on everything but the actual IN RING WORK, 🤣 WWE fanboy logic.

Double or Nothing is a B grade show

Wrestling fans will never be happy. A company puts on a bad show and the fans jump all over them for 'putting on garbage' etc AEW put on a good show with DON and fans are complaining that Meltzer has overrrated some of the matches. People saying the Ospreay match is overrated - seriously? It was a geat match. Of course its gonna be rated well. Unless the booking of the match veered completely away from what Will and Roddy always do - put on solid/excellent wrestling matches - then this match was always going to deliver and be scored accordingly. Sure Meltzer likes what he likes and will sometimes favour scoring some matches a little higher - but thats just his opinion - does it really matter if Meltzer scores a 4.5 star worthy match as a 5 star? No. Not really. A good match is a good match. If you dont like Meltzer - fine. But hes just one guy with one set of opinons and you dont have to agree with him. But people who get upset at him rating a good match highly, thats just silly. Wrestling fans will find any reason to complain.

So the schtick here is that these guys make fun of Meltzer because he's biased in favor of AEW, instead of being like them, or biased against AEW.
