Well, well, well, looks like a lotta folks been waitin’ to hear what them wrestling experts think about the WWE Payback 2023. You know, there’s this feller by the name of Dave Meltzer, and he’s been handin’ out them star ratings like a farmer givin’ out ripe apples. Some folks take them ratings mighty seriously, like they be gospel or somethin’. Now, let’s talk about what went down at Payback, and how them matches got rated. Hold on to your hat, ’cause we’re gonna go through the whole mess of it.
First up: Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus – Steel Cage Match
Well, now, this one was a real barnburner! You got two fierce women, just beatin’ each other up inside that steel cage, and you could tell both of ‘em was fightin’ like they had somethin’ to prove. Now, I ain’t no expert on all them fancy moves they do, but I could tell it was a show! I heard Mr. Meltzer gave it a solid rating—three and a half stars, I reckon. That’s not too shabby. Some folks mighta thought it deserved a bit more, but I guess Mr. Meltzer knows what he’s talkin’ about. Me? I just enjoy watchin’ folks throwin’ fists around, but that’s just me.
Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Now this match, Lord have mercy, it had me on the edge of my seat! Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura, they put on a real clinic. Them boys was all over the ring, doin’ flips, kicks, and all sorts of acrobatic stuff. I reckon Dave Meltzer might’ve rated it four stars, or maybe even a bit more, ‘cause I ain’t heard a bad word about this one. Seth Rollins, that boy knows how to put on a show, that’s for sure. You’d think he was born for this! Shinsuke, too, with his fancy kicks and all that. Ain’t no doubt, it was a match worth watchin’.
KO vs. Dirty Dominik Mysterio
Now, don’t get me wrong, this one was somethin’! Kevin Owens, that feller can take a hit like nobody’s business. And Dominik Mysterio, well, he’s got a lotta nerve—foolin’ around with his daddy’s name like that. But what really got folks talkin’ was when KO took to the air with that big ol’ Swanton Bomb from the barricade onto poor Dominik through a table! That right there got the crowd hollerin’ for sure. I reckon Meltzer slapped a four-star rating on this one too. Ain’t nothin’ like a good table smash to get people talkin’!
Overall Thoughts on WWE Payback 2023
Well, when it’s all said and done, folks’s been real happy with how WWE Payback 2023 turned out. Sure, there’s always a few matches folks might argue about—maybe some got more stars than they deserved, and others maybe didn’t get enough. But that’s the beauty of it all, ain’t it? Everyone’s got their own opinion, and that’s what keeps folks talkin’. Me? I think if you got a bunch of folks watchin’ and they’s havin’ a good time, that’s all that matters. You don’t need a fancy star rating to tell you if a match was good or not.
Now, if you’re askin’ me, the biggest star of the night wasn’t the ones with all them stars on their ratings, but the ones who put their heart into the show. You know the ones I’m talkin’ about—the ones who give it all they got, even if they ain’t always gettin’ the credit they deserve. Them’s the true stars in my book.
But I reckon ol’ Dave Meltzer, he knows his stuff when it comes to all them ratings. He’s been watchin’ wrestling since dirt was invented, so he’s got a good eye for it. Some folks might argue with him, but hey, that’s the way the cookie crumbles, don’t it?
So, if you ain’t caught Payback 2023 yet, what’re ya waitin’ for? Go ahead, grab your snacks, sit yourself down, and enjoy the show. You might just find your new favorite match or wrestler! Who knows? There’s always next year’s Payback to look forward to, too.
