Did you know that Bryan Danielson nor Kurt Angle have Meltzer rated 5-Star Matches?
What other amazing wrestlers are you surprised that never got one?

I did, in fact, know this, which is one of the reasons I realized that Dave can't possibly be considered authoritative (neither HBK-Taker, or HHH-HBK-Benoit match getting the full five was insane, too. And AJ-Suzuki).cero2k wrote:Did you know that Bryan Danielson nor Kurt Angle have Meltzer rated 5-Star Matches?
Due to the above, I wouldn't say I am "surprised" so much as outraged that none of the following ever got one:cero2k wrote: What other amazing wrestlers are you surprised that never got one?

Malenko nor Mysterio ever got one either, and Eddie's only one is from his younger days, I always thought Eddie's best work came much later on

Re: Best Wrestler to never have a (Meltzer) 5* Match
In general I'll agree that Eddie's best stuff came later on, but nothing can touch that match at When World's Collide (although I haven't actually seen the Lesnar match yet. I've been meaning to get around to watching that match forever).cero2k wrote:Malenko nor Mysterio ever got one either, and Eddie's only one is from his younger days, I always thought Eddie's best work came much later on

Re: Best Wrestler to never have a (Meltzer) 5* Match
it's not 5* IMO, could have, but i didn't like parts of the finish, but definitely worth checking out + the build up segments, Eddie's best promo came from that build up.Big Red Machine wrote:In general I'll agree that Eddie's best stuff came later on, but nothing can touch that match at When World's Collide (although I haven't actually seen the Lesnar match yet.

Personally, Eddie vs Malenko 2-out-3 falls or Eddie vs Rey rey at Halloween Havoc 98 were always better than anything he did

I didn't think the Halloween Havoc match was close to *****. It was definitely over ****, but calling I don't see why people think it is such an all-time great. That Eddie-Dean match was probably ****1/2 (haven't seen it in a while), but I definitely didn't think it was the full *****cero2k wrote:it's not 5* IMO, could have, but i didn't like parts of the finish, but definitely worth checking out + the build up segments, Eddie's best promo came from that build up.Big Red Machine wrote:In general I'll agree that Eddie's best stuff came later on, but nothing can touch that match at When World's Collide (although I haven't actually seen the Lesnar match yet.
