Johnny 5.5 Stars

By Scott Keith on 12 April 2019

If I’m not mistaken, this would be the best WWE match Meltzer has ever seen based on star ratings?


Where does it rank for you? I loved everything about the match, I don’t know if I could call it the best WWE match of all-time though.


​Best one for me is still the Gargano-Ciampa street fight.  Dave commented a couple of times on the radio shows this week that this one was the best WWE match he’d ever seen, though, and also called Takeover the best WWE show ever as well.


And hey, here’s the full list of WM / NXT star ratings from the Observer for fun…


Wrestlemania: 


Nese v. Murphy ***1/2

Carmella wins the battle royal **1/4

Ryder & Hawkins v. Revival ***

Braun Strowman wins the battle royal *1/2

Seth Rollins v. Brock Lesnar ***1/2

AJ Styles v. Randy Orton ***1/4

Smackdown four-way tag match ***3/4

Shane v. Miz *3/4

Women’s tag titles *1/4
