• Some fans care about Dave Meltzer’s ratings system for matches.
During an appearance on 92NY, a fan told John Cena that one of his matches against AJ Styles received a 4.5 star rating from Meltzer, and if he wants to have a rematch against Styles and try to get a 5-star rating this time.
Here’s what the 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion said:
“So… how do I put this? I am much more concerned, when I perform for WWE, in how the audience as a whole feels about my performance, rather than one individual trying to grade me in a level of stars.
Not that it doesn’t matter, because that is a great way for those to try and get equity and try to get noticed. It’s a great ranking system and I really do appreciate it. I’m not knocking critics.
I’m just saying my process is to make sure that everybody who paid a ticket had a good night. And if that gets me a zero-star match, I still know in my heart of hearts that I entertained my audience that night.”
