Would you be my new best friends?

I don't mean to sound confrontational, but in my opinion if you don't agree that Shingo vs. Henare was 5+ stars then as far as I'm concerned you have a different opinion on the match than I do.

Phew, feels good to get that off my chest.

I also disagree with Dave on the star ratings, but in a way different from everyone else. 3.5 for Riho vs Hayter? Dave has Logan Paul with 2 4.5 star matches and somehow has only ever went as high as 4.25 for Riho, and that was one time. I’m afraid Big Dave has lost it fellas.

That Shingo match was really good but 5.25 is crazy pants.

I thought I'd maybe been generous when I went 4.5.

I'm definitely standing by my theory that all along Dave's scale has been 1-10 rather than 1-5.

once again i roll my eyes every time dave meltzer tries to rate a match based on my preferences. five stars for that? i think it blows. less than 4 stars for poor riho. put out the pod, lights go out, go home. whoa

oh. his ratings suck, and they get worser... all night and every day.

I don't really post in the WWE thread but I do love how when I read it, people talk about "Meltzer" and "Meltzer ratings" where as real heads know him as Dave or the San Jose Steamroller.

It's weird remembering stuff like 2012 TNA and remembering the Aries Roode feud/title match. Probably not as high on Roode as Pulse and Jawwny are though.

I want them to do an episode with Chris Daniels at peak Martini Daniels

I'm trying to remember; there was a dumb internet game thing that was just using circa 2012-13 Impact Wrasslormonkey gifs. I need to find it

That also reminds me of the period of TNA where Flair and (I think Fourtune?) would constantly ice each other in backstage segments.

Dave goes deep on why Omega/Ospreay should be Bret/Davey at Wembley.

I don't agree, but he sounds drat passionate about it.

I get where Dave is coming from and if Will was under contract to AEW I'd do it that match in Wembley in a heartbeat but Will is New Japan and I'd want the top Wembley match to be all AEW.

Problem with Will main eventing is that he’ll have to be part of the media rounds. Going on morning TV with Philip Schofield with their one brain cell between them and Will desperately trying not to say oval office

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
If you're going to England you probably want a well known British star and that's Osprey so I think it's almost a lock for the show.

PAC, maybe with Death Triangle, being in a high profile match would also be something I'd expect.

Hayter vs Saraya would be something you could shoot for but honestly, I'd be worried about the crowd getting behind Saraya and I'd rather see Hayter have her own showcase match. That said, if Mercedes hasn't gone back to WWE by then, Hayter vs Mone would be ridiculous.

If you can get Bret for FTR now would be the time.

There is basically as close to 0% chance of Bret doing AEW now as possible. He's jumped on the "it's too bloody and violent" train since they started working with Martha Hart.
