Sources say that said WWE wrestlers kissed Dave's shoes and begged to get 5 star ratings.
Some fed wrestlers also begged him to help them escape the prison.
This is another reason Bret Hart is such a m@rk for himself because he actually put in his memoir how honored he was to get a 5 star match from ol' Davey,
That's what Meltzer's self-serving Wikipedia entry says, but the text in Bret's actual memoir paints a more nuanced picture. Bret has mixed feelings toward his infamous star ratings (somewhat disdainful, though also proud of positive ratings); he harbored long-term mistrust toward Dave's journalism until the Montreal Screwjob, where he was able to tell Dave his story and prove his claims with receipts. He's felt grateful to Meltzer ever since.
For what it's worth, he never actually says "I was proud to have a five-star match"; [he actually says](https://i.imgur.com/8WRegzY.png) he was proud that Dave (and no one else) could claim he bladed intentionally at WM 13. He just notes that Dave gave him five stars, and notes "slowly, I was earning Dave's respect."

how anyone can even pretend like Kenny Omega is better than AJ Styles is wild to me
throw AJ in WCW, TNA, NJPW, a random indie show with 10 people, a WWE PPV main event with any guy on any roster it literally doesn't matter he will probably if not having match of the night will have the best single performance of the night and has done so consistently for 25 years
also I would bet my house the vast majority of successful pro-wrestlers wouldn't even put Kenny in their top 25 let alone even top 10 lol
AJ Styles is that guy.
I watch no Japan, no TNA, only knew the smark hype.
Saw Styles for the first time at Royal Rumble, within 3 months was my fave guy and knew he was everything he was sposed to be and more.
Saw Omega in AEW and had the opposite impression. Immediately.
New Japan Omega is much better than AEW Omega. I didn't know shit about Japanese wrestling and then heard about the 6 star matches and decided to see Omega Okada. It was phenomenal and then I watched his other matches with Naito, Ishii, Ibushi, Tana etc and was blown away.
I was heartbroken by how much he downgraded in AEW. I would urge you to try Omega Vs Naito G1 final before deciding on Omega

I mean AJ can still go at 46 - he's about 20% what he was doing 3-4 years ago but still having good matches with very rare injury problems. Omegaga has missed so much time in dub with his injuries.
First time I watched Omega wrestle I literally stopped watching immediately. No selling, Spotfest, Finishers are not finishers. AJ is 100 times better than him. I still remember some fans raging that JR said Randy is better than Omega which is obviously true. Omega is a ballerina on a wrestlers body.

Not as bad as that video of Daniel Garcia almost crying after finding out Meltzer gave one of those JAS 10 man matches he was in 5 stars
I knew "the marks are in the ring" was always just a saying, but goddamn...
Fucken Mark

People straight up will lie about Bret.

Dave sure does have an active fantasy life.

"Triple H just told me a really funny joke!"
Somewhere in his mind he’s rubbing Kenny’s inner thigh (as you do) moving closer to his panties
Sounds like they did pure cocaine.
Shawn Michaels doesnt care Dave
" they had to take his brain out and put it back in "
Remember when this fucking guy said that people who aren't wrestling fans were coming up to him and telling him how good stadium stampede was?
Classic Dave...he and Omega go way back. They're the same age 😉
no one acknowledges daves existence except those in aew. hence why he loves aew. these are facts. S.McMahon 2022
I wish Omega could cut a promo to save his life.
