Dave Meltzer's Extreme Rules Ratings are in! Thoughts?

El Torito def. Hornswoggle - 3 stars.

Cesaro def. RVD & Jack Swagger - 2.5 stars.

Rusev def. R-Truth and Xavier Woods - 0.75 stars.

Bad News Barrett def. Big E - 3 stars.

The Shield def. Evolution - 4.5 stars.

Bray Wyatt def. John Cena - 1.75 stars.

Paige def. Tamina Snuka - 2 stars.

Daniel Bryan def. Kane - 3.5 stars.

Hard to disagree really. Happy to see The Shield vs Evolution rated so highly. As close to perfect a 6 man tag as you'll see.

I honestly this Meltzer is a bit of a melt. Bryan/Kane 3.5 stars? I was more engrossed in the Cena match, albeit that was no great shakes either.

2 highest rated matches are about 0.5 too high IMO (rarely say that about Meltzer). Others I agree with.

I'm really surprised by how highly he's rated the matches. I really liked the six man tag but I would still rate it at least half a star lower.

He seems like he likes the smell of his own farts

I get the feeling hes let his standards drop too much because the standards of the product have

Yeah wouldn't have put Shield-Evolution or Bryan-Kane so high even if they were enjoyable matches. Both probably half a star less.

Think Cesaro/RVD/Swagger is underrated, would have had that at least equal to Bryan-Kane which was more a sequence of big spots than a fluid match.

I think that may be the worst match I've seen Bryan have
