It's a really great interview except when Shawn butchers the name of the Sportatorium.

Everyone asking Dave about why a match has the stars it has is missing that he doesn't grade with a rubric. His entire rating system is pretty much whatever his gut tells him. It's so haphazard which makes it goofy how seriously people take it.

He doesn't even care about them that much. He rates stuff for fun and people take it seriously and get really mad about them and they take it waaaay more seriously than he does and then they turn around and talk about how little his opinion matters.

my fav star rating story is when he was at PWG watching Young Bucks vs [i forget whom] and at the end everyone is chanting 5! 5! 5! and looking at him expectantly

I pay more attention to Dave’s taste in wrestling than say Seth Rollins. That said he’s really into Bucks and Omega and I’m not. It’s whatever, there’s plenty of wrestling to enjoy.

If you have to chase someone down to tell them their opinion sucks, that says a lot about you doesn’t it?

I think there are a lot of Goldberg squashes that are five star matches because they accomplished exactly what they meant to in the best way possible, the crowd loving loved them, they were fun as all gently caress and they got more done with a minute and 30 seconds than most 35 minute back-and-forths, but I don't have a newsletter people respect so I don't have to defend that opinion on Twitter all day.

Dave's pretty open about the fact that crowd reaction factors into the decision as does build. It's not just "you wrestled a good match," so when wrestlers get bent out of shape about it it's pretty LOL.

Ehhh, acting on recommendations is fine....it's when you treat the person making the recommendation like gospel you get into the trouble.

Like for music I will try to find out what musicians I already like listen to, because they often have good suggestions.
