[Guest Ghettoman]

Thats a funny list.

[Guest BionicRedneck]

*NEWSFLASH*

 

Scott Keith is a fat moron.

[cbacon 0]

Hard to argue with those, at least this year is off to a considerably better start then last

[Guest JumpinJackFlash]

That is not true. It's biased for Benoit and Eddie. Heck, I thought HBK/Benoit was good, but not the third best match of the year so far. What about HHH/HBK at Royal Rumble?

[Guest Trivia247]

kinda funny though...

 

if you ever follow any of SK's older rants on PPVs you see that he never rates Battle Royals or Rumbles.. But Ohhhh when Chris Benoit WINS?!?!?!?! then Well its a ***** match wasn't it?

[Guest Super Pissed Smark]

Anybody who watches enough of the current product to come up with seven matches deserves a Purple Heart.

[KTID 0]

Surely someone can ban Scott Keith's opinions from this board. The man is a moron.

HBK/Benoit was NOWHERE NEAR ****1/4. I'd give it ***1/4, ***1/2 tops.

He always rates the Rumbles.

he doesn't rate battle royals but he does rate Royal Rumble's battle royal EVERY year. check his older rants. he gave a 5-star rating to Royal Rumble 92.

[Michrome 0]

While I agree with you Laz, I don't really understand your ratings system. I mean, it totally blew away anything TNA has done since....uh....god, ages ago, yet I see you give some matches on those shows ratings like **1/2-***.

 

Anyway, he was right to leave that piece of shit HHH/HBK match from the Rumble off. God what a horrid match that was.

Hey Laz, do you think we can possible make this stick??? I'd sure as hell be willing to try.

He has always rated Rumbles. So maybe you should go back and follow some of his older rants.

Benoit vs. Flair......? NO.

[JoeDirt 0]

I don't have a big problem with the list, though the Rumble wasn't the best one ever.

 

And HHH/HBK from the Rumble was maybe **. It isn't anywhere near the best matches of the year so far.

[Guest hunger4unger]

I respect Keith's opinion but it's all subjective.

[Fökai 0]

::reads The Official Guide to Rating Matches.... without Anyone Disagreeing with Your Opinions::

 

No, the Rumble was ****1/2.

 

HBK/Benoit was ***1/4

 

Benoit/Flair was **3/4.

 

I respect Keith's opinion but it's all subjective.

 

UNABLE....TO COMPUTE.... IDEA....

 

[Guest Ghettoman]

Subjective is one thing but when they just don't hold up with other ratings it's hard ot take things seriously.

 

I mean seriously, Eddie vs Brock was a 1/4* better than Benoit/HBK? That just doesn't make sense.

[Guest Loss]

RVD/Orton was better than Benoit/Flair. I didn't particularly care for either match, but the first match had a smarter layout, it just wasn't executed so well.

 

I would probably only go **1/4 or so on Benoit/HBK. That's coming from someone who is a big fan of both wrestlers that expected a classic.

[El Psycho Diablo 0]

Almost makes me wonder how many stars a Benoit title win would get. Ten?

[Guest Loss]

Scott Keith's love of Benoit is fine, considering that we all have our favorites. But since he's a match reviewer, he should be able to set that aside and look at a match for what it is instead of who is participating. Instead, he tends to give matches high marks based on who's involved and ignore matches that are unexpectedly good with underrated workers.

 

Then again, SK's style is to do boring play by play with one sentence, if that, actually "reviewing" the match, so maybe he's not capable.

[Beast 0]

If you don't respect his opinions, why are you making a big deal about the ratings he gave to matches. No one is forcing his ratings down your throat, so it doesn't really matter if you disagree with them.

You underrated it by a star and a fourth, at least.

3 Chris Beniot and 2 Eddie Guerrero matches, whats wrong?

HBK/Benoit was NOWHERE NEAR ****1/4. I'd give it ***1/4, ***1/2 tops.

I agree it was 3 1/2 because of the ending. It was a nice flowing match but it died as soon as Triple Inflated Ego walked down to ringside.

 

I don't see why they couldn't have had Michaels miss the superkick and straddle the ropes, then have Benoit whip him down for the crossface, which led to Trips pulling Benoit out and beating him down. Its a screw-job finish but it doesn't make either guy look weak.

 

I'm still happy to have taped it though, its a match I'll watch again.

Actually, they are forced down our throats quite often. How many times do you see "but Keith gave it ****1/2" in arguments? Quite often, actually.

 

If no one bothered to read him, he could say whatever he wanted, but you always have people using his match ratings to attempt to settle arguments, which is weak.

And they shouldn't do that.

 

We need to get AWAY from screwjobs to "protect" people.

 

If you can't look strong even while jobbing, you shouldn't be in the business.

-=Mike

...Funny, Flair never looked weak, yet he got the snot beaten out of him in every match he worked

[Guest FrigidSoul]

I more meant if they were going for the screwjob finish. Personally I would have enjoyed Benoit just plain beating HBK or if they planned on having HBK win make him win cleanly. That way if Benoit does win at WM they can have HBK say "I beat you cleanly one-on-one bla, bla, bla" and set up a match between the two for the Raw PPV.

Bullshit. The match sucked. 3/4* at most.
