  1. Hi Dave, I don't know if you know, but in Brazil - my hometown - you have much fans, they are people who admire your skills to rate the wrestling matches, and your comments about about wrestling. And I have my own blog (I don't know if I can put here...) www.areyoureadytowrestling.blogspot.com, and we want (table?) to do a little interview with you, some asks for you, do you agree it? Or leave for there, and keep a good job? :p

    Oh, before I forget, why didn't you give five stars to Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels? D: Even Stone Cold agreed with me... (This is a long history)

    If you agree, answer here, and I'll look, because I'm going to visit here everyday now...

    Wathever, thanks to read it. :D

  2. Oh, I forgot a thing...

    Are you Meltzer or another person? Whatever, if you aren't Meltzer, can you send it to him? Please!

    Thanks

  3. I am not Dave. You can e-mail him at dave@wrestlingobserver.com

  4. Oops Thank you! Sorry for anything, but anyway, thank you.

  5. Can I ask how come theres been no additions to the ROH ratings for 2009 yet?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Apparently, 2008 and 2009 are mixed into one year.

      Delete
  6. Because there hasn't been any ROH reviewed in the Observer this year. Bryan has in F4W but I don't think there's been any in the Observer.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Any chance the ratings for Dragon Gate USA (DGUSA) will get their own section now that they've taken over ROH's pay-per-view deal?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Agreed. The first Dragon Gate PPV practically BLED snowflakes.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Can we get some ROH 2009 on here or what??

    ReplyDelete
  10. There hasn't been any ROH rated in the Observer this year.

    To follow up Stubber's question which I intended to answer weeks ago.

    DRAGON GATE~!!!

    BxB Hulk vs. Yamato ****1/4
    Chikara Eight-Man ****
    Dragon Kid vs. Masato Yoshino ***3/4
    The Young Bucks vs. Susumu Yokosuka/CIMA ****1/4
    Naruki Doi vs. Shingo ****1/4

    That's easily the best ratings top to bottom I've ever seen.

    Second show should be reviewed this week or next.

    ReplyDelete
  11. And the second DGUSA show:

    Dragon Kid vs. Masato Yoshino ****1/4
    Yamato & Gran Akuma vs. Mike Quackenbush & Jigsaw **1/2
    Naruki Doi vs. Bryan Danielson ****3/4 (tied for highest rated match of the year with Taker/Michaels)
    CIMA vs. Brian Kendrick - N/R (just highlights)
    Davey Richards vs. CIMA ****1/2
    The Young Bucks vs. Ryo Saito & Genki Horiguchi ***1/2

    Not as good top to bottom as the first but two matches that go higher than anything on the first.

    ReplyDelete
  12. What were the full ratings for Glory by Honor V night 2 ppv

    ReplyDelete
  13. That wasn't a PPV and the current archives don't go back that far. I'd say there's a good chance that full show might have been reviewed though.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Looks like Meltzer after ROH got on PPV, Meltzer stopped reviewing ROH events other than the PPVs. And even though they are not on PPV anymore, he's still not reviewing ROH events.

    ReplyDelete
  15. He actually rated the Wolves/Bucks tag match from the 11/23 TV at ****1/2.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I take it he didn't rate the Final Battle online PPV then?

    ReplyDelete
  17. He did a write-up on it but no ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  18. He Should rate Richards vs. Danielson from Final Countdown tour Boston absolutely awesome match

    ReplyDelete
  19. If you're looking for really good ROH reviews, I'd advise you to check out J.D. Dunn who reviews at 411mania.com. He does alll the shows though he sometimes gets a bit behind. Really funny, not so much move-by-move style reviews too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. To respond to the guy that posted the ratings for the Dragon Gate USA: Untouchable show, you got one of the matches wrong, you have CIMA listed twice on that event, once with the highlights of his match with Kendrick and again against Davey Richards, when Richards actually faced Shingo in this match. Thought I'd mention that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. HEY MAN DO YOU KNOW HOW DID MELTZER RATED THE AMERICAN VOLVES VS STENNERICO TABLES MATCH ON HDNET, AND THEIR MATCH IN LADDER WAR II

    ReplyDelete
  22. Has Richards v Aries been rated as well as Aries v Black from the 8th anniversary show?

    ReplyDelete
  23. ROH report for Friday in Phoenix (26/03/2010) (by bryan alvarez):

    " Briscoes beat Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards to retain the tag titles. It was clear the undercard was worked in such a way as to ensure that this match, an old-school style ROH match with a million nearfalls and kickouts, was the show-stealer. And it was. I'd say ****1/4 to ****1/2."

    ReplyDelete
  24. I presume he will be rating the matches from Big Bang iPPV?

    ReplyDelete
  25. He watched it, so hopefully he gives match ratings. He said on Wrestling Observer Live that the triple threat title match was really great, and the ladder match was good, but not great. The lucha match was pretty horrible as well.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hmmm... I was referring to the match between the Briscoes and the Kings of Wrestling, for some reason I thought it was a ladder match. From memory Dave said there were too many dangerous spots for his liking.

    ReplyDelete
  27. there weren't a lot of dangerous spots in the tag title match from Big Bang. You may be thinking of the ladder match between the Briscoes and Steenerico from like 07?

    Have Alvarez and Meltzer reviewed the Big Bang yet?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yeah, that was the reasoning behind the no rating for the Briscoes/Steenerico was due to him being uncomfortable with some of the ridiculously risky stuff in that.

    As for the iPPV, Bryan did a full review in this week F4W.

    Jack Salvation vs. Phil Shatter *1/2
    Kenny King vs. Davey Richards ***3/4
    The Necro Butcher vs. Erick Stevens *1/2
    Rhett Titus vs. Cassandro el Exotico **1/2
    Colt Cabana & Generico vs. Kevin Steen & Steve Corino **1/4
    The Briscoes vs. The Kings of Wrestling ***3/4
    Tyler Black vs. Austin Aries vs. Roderick Strong ****1/4

    ReplyDelete
  29. Meltzer had technical problems with the show buffering a lot so he didn't feel it was fair to give star ratings but he did say the the three-way was "****1/2 range" and that the tag titles match "probably wasn't far behind". He also said Richards/King was "probably ***3/4".

    ReplyDelete
  30. what did Tyler Black v Austin Aries 8th aniv show get from Meltzer

    ReplyDelete
  31. Tyler Black v Austin Aries was better than taker v michaels. Story was great, wrestling was far superior and the way they got the crowd from hating black to loving him is a masterfully crafted match that has to at least be a ****3/4 match, how was it not rated? it may be moty

    ReplyDelete
  32. It wasn't rated because it wasn't rated. There's been tons of great matches that aren't rated. No big crime.

    ReplyDelete
  33. My concern is that Aries/Black should be touted match of the year so far yet if it isnt even rated i guess that means its not even being considered which is a shame when taker/hbk seem like they may get the nod again for no reason

    ReplyDelete
  34. Considered by who? Meltzer or readers in general? If it's the latter, I don't think there's anything to that concern. If you're considering an indie match MOTY, you're clearly a serious fan who doesn't a ***+ list to help you pick. If it's the former, there's only so many hours in the day. Especially when MMA is outrageously hot.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Dont expect meltzer to review the ROH PPV today I emailed him about it and he said he would have liked to have reviewed it but he was on MMA assignment today and would probably get fired if he skiped out on it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. What were Bryan Alvarez's ratings for the iPPV Death Before Dishonor VIII?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'd be very surprised if Meltzer didn't rate Black/Richards. It may not be THIS week but considering it's being talked about as a STRONG candidate MOTY and on a MAJOR show that;s non-DVD only I'd expect it.

    Anyways. Chico Alvarez's:

    Death Before Dishonor VIII iPPV
    Kevin Steen vs. El Generico ***3/4
    Rhett Titus & Kenny King vs. Cheech & Cloudy **1/4
    Aust Aries vs. Delirious **1/2
    Toronto Gauntlet with Eddie Edwards, Tyson Dux, Shawn Daivari, Colt Cabana, Steve Cornino & Roderick Strong ***
    Christopher Daniels vs. Kenny Omega ***3/4
    Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli vs. The Briscoe (No DQ Match) ****1/4
    Tyler Black vs. Davey Richards ****3/4

    ReplyDelete
  38. Meltzer rated Black vs. Richards in the "****3/4 range" and said as good as it came off, it would probably be even better looking on DVD with better picture quality and no streaming issues.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Will does that mean he plans on re-watching it when it comes out on dvd and maybe re rating it to perhaps ***** or at least getting a better feel for where the match rates in moty contendership.

    ReplyDelete
  40. He might rewatch it but I doubt it'll be for that reason. Meltzer doesn't really pick his personal Match of the Year anyways.

  41. Tyler Black vs Davey Richards was a great match (better than Taker vs Michaels 2 at WM 26) but it shouldn't be rated *****. It clumsy in a few parts, but I think thus far (the year isn't over) it should be the MOTY, and it deserves it's ****3/4 rating.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm honestly missing something if two guys can go out there put at best a "pretty good" wrestled match and get a ****3/4 rating. Im referring to HBK/Taker. The story was phenomonal no doubt but that isnt a complete substitute for wrestling. I would have given last yrs effort **** and this yrs ****1/4. As for Davey/Tyler I think it was about ****1/2. That match is kind of the opposite case with phenomonal wrestling but little story. My opinion only but i still think Tyler/Aries at 8th anniversary is MOTY so far.

  43. any ratings for glory by honor?

    ReplyDelete
  44. He said KOW/WGTT was ****1/4 range and Aries/Daniels was ***1/2. That's the only two he rated. You can tell from these reviews that he does not like watching wrestling on a computer.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Has he mentioned Davey Richards vs Christopher Daniels at all?

    ReplyDelete
  46. doubt it bo. He doesn't review any ROH not on ppv. So i doubt he will. From what i've heard its probably a ****1/2. Lot of great ROH matches last year he didn't review.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Richards vs. Daniels hasn't been released so he couldn't have reviewed it yet.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Did Meltzer rate the DGUSA ippv?

    ReplyDelete
  49. What about the rating for Tyler Black vs. Davey Richards of 10/18/10 on HDNet?(Black's last match)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Meltzer didn't rate Black/Richards from 10/18 but Bryan gave it ****1/4.

    I'm fairly sure Meltzer hasn't seen the DGUSA PPV as there's nothing of note about it in this week's Observer. As of the show late Sunday night he definitely hadn't seen it.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow! why is that Dave didn't rate that match? It was a really great match. I guess if Bryan gave 4.25 Dave should be around that. I got it at ****1/2. He should rate more weekly programing matches, at least the ones that deserves it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Does ROH have commercials? I've only watched it online so I don't know. I understand the logic of being hesitate to rate matches on RAW/Smackdown!/etc when there's a decent chunk of the match missing.

    ReplyDelete
  53. ROH have commercials but as far I can recall that match was shown without any commercial break. At least that how I remembered it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. any ratings for final battle? happy holidays!

    ReplyDelete

    All Night Express vs. Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole ***1/2
    TJ Perkins vs. Colt Cabana **1/2
    Serena Deeb & Sara Del Ray vs. Daizee Haze & Amazing Kong ***

  57. BRYAN JUST OVERRATED A LOT THE LAST 2 MATCHES IN FINAL BATTLE.

    BY THE WAY DOES MELTZER OR BRYAN RATE OTHER INDY SHOWS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW PWG RATINGS SPECIALLY SEVEN

    ReplyDelete
  58. As far as non-WWE/TNA/ROH/DGUSA matches:

    Bryan rated Battle of LA this year because he went. I think he also rated Triplemania (at least the PARK/Parka match).

    I think the only think Meltzer rated that didn't fall into the four main companies was a couple of matches from the 2010 NJPW January Dome show.

    ReplyDelete
  59. dgusa ippv ratings done or not?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Bryan reviewed one show. I posted the full ratings list in the Dragon Gate section.

    ReplyDelete
  61. to early to seek 9th anniversary ratings?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Has the observer ever done a top 10 ROH matches list or anything like that. It would be interesting to see how he ranks the 5 star matches and the ****3/4 star matches

    ReplyDelete
  63. "to early to seek 9th anniversary ratings?"

    I expect Bryan to have them in Figure Four this afternoon but Meltzer I'm not so sure about. This show was the same night as UFC 127 which is obviously coming first.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Actually Vince reviewed the show in Figure Four:

    Colt Cabana vs. Davey Richards ***3/4
    Steve Corino vs. Grizzly Redwood vs. Kyle O'Reilly vs. Mike Bennett **1/2
    Michael Elgin vs. El Generico **3/4
    Roderick Strong vs. Homicide ***1/4
    Sara Del Ray vs. MsChif *3/4
    The Kings of Wrestling vs. The All Night Express ***3/4
    Eddie Edwards vs. Chris Danielson (2/3 Falls) ***1/4
    The Briscoes vs. Charlies Haas & Shelton Benjamin ***1/2

    ReplyDelete
  65. Chris Danielson lol. Wow surprised with how low the rating was for the tv title match considering ive seen just about everyone give it in the ****-****1/4 sort of range. Also surprised how high the opener rated considering what ive seen for that.
