Introduction
Below you can see all known star ratings for wrestling matches featuring in Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Please note that ratings are given to the overall match; not to the performers within them. Therefore, high or low ratings may reflect aspects of the match including booking, length and performance of partners/opponents, over which the performers may have little or no control. Please also note that a match that received a particular rating many years ago may have been judged on a different criteria from today's.

Following the same rating system devised in part by Jim Cornette, matches are rated from the lowest rating of -***** (-5) through to the highest rating of ***** (+5), with a small number of matches being rated above that theoretical maximum. Matches with a rating of zero stars are referred to as a "DUD" and an average match tends to score around a ** (2) rating. All ratings can only be considered subjective and this page is designed purely for reference purposes.
