I think Meltz knows what he's doing, he probably knows that he's basically a living meme at this point. 6 stars is hilarious but perfect.
I love the match. It just wasn't on the level of Okada/Omega.

This is like when DBZ fans make up Super Saiyan forms like Super Saiyan 12.
For this to be a thing we can complain about in 2016/2017...it's an amazing fucking time for work rate.

Nah, WrassleGaf just loves to fucking complain and/or turn on just about anything.

Omega isn't a draw. He's a small fish in a small pond. He comes to my yard and he's simply a jobber.
He doesn't belong with the big boys.
It's fucking fake.

hahahahaha over 9000 stars hahahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHA
They look like bumper plate weights, so look heavier then they are. Judging it I would say just shy of 300lbs. So still good for a guy his age.

Eh. People are allowed to have their opinions. It's fine.
STFU Slappy
I think just like the Nak/Zayn match, people's hype will die down in the coming months.
It really was a damn good match though, but the length works against it rather than for it. It could have EASILY been a 5 star match across the board if they trimmed 15-20 minutes. I felt like they had it be super long for the sake of it being a main event match.
it's the usual marks being marks
guaran fucking teed in 6 months the same people will look back at Omega/Okada and be like "it wasn't THAT great. wow what an overrated match"

Sit down mark.
The Payback match was a bit overbooked (but still good) but the Extreme Rules match was great.
I think most people agree that those were good matches.

You'll be surprised what mob mentality and its effect has on people on this thread. There was a lot of good shit that went down last year yet when the discussion here turned to "best of", it quickly resorted to slinging shit at this guy or that match...
Old habits are hard to break. At end of the day, I don't take anything mentioned here seriously unless the person lodging said complaint can express why. Otherwise I presume they're joking and getting with the program here.
I think most people liked these matches

They were pretty good. Part of Roman Reigns collection of 3 great singles matches with his one against DB rounding out the 3.
He's very carry-able by the greats.
Have you seen the macth yet?

So just saw the news about Jeff Jarrett coming back to TNA. Maybe Anthem can turn it around after all. In case some haven't seen it.

LOL. Yeah, Jeff Jarrett will surely turn things around...

I mentioned it in my edit. Nakamura/Zayn was like Hogan/Andre to me: A+ spectacle, not so when it came to in-ring action. Obviously it wasn't that bad in-ring, I'd say it was a B-, but both have put in more and better effort elsewhere, whether the matches they did it in went longer or shorter. In my opinion it wasn't top 5 El Generico/Zayn matches, wasn't top 5 Nakamura matches, and wasn't the best NXT Takeover match of the year (DIY/Revival 2 out of 3 falls)
No, I plan on it as soon as I can though.
The Big Dog vs The Wrestler, easy 5 star match there
I hope Anthem realises he won't be bringing along a cart of gold with him.

Matches in Japan get an Auto half star
They were lured by the runaway success of GFW.

Will they bring back Russo, Nash, Hall, and the boys? Third time's a charm.

Not saying he will. But when he was running things TNA was at least putting on something that didn't resemble an incoherent mess. They also had some great talent and didn't just screw them over and drive them away the way TNA did post Jarrett. Also he's not coming in to run the show it seems. Sounds more like a creative postition.

Not shocked that Jarrett's coming back.
Now if he gets the belt, stick a fork in Anthem being the true saviors
That was a long time ago.
Jeff Jarrett much more recently tried his hand at a fed with GFW. That's maybe a bit more realistic to what to expect from him in 2017.

Yeah I agree with your overall sentiment (esp Revival match being best of NXT!). For me, Zayn and Nak worked on anticipation alone moreso than the execution. It was just seeing these two very popular guys in a dream match up that no one could imagine seeing a few weeks earlier. It was fanfiction at its best.

Watching it live I thought it was really good, best match of that event. I'm speaking to people who seem to continuously bring it up when discussing best matches. So in this context, where someone is saying "best match I've evre seen" and people jump to comparing to Nak/Zayn.
It's just way too different of a work style. I think for certain guys it can work, but throwing someone like Reigns in with Shibata would not work well at all.
