AEW Star Explains Why He Will Never Wrestle A Five-Star Match

AEW

AEW star Shawn Spears has explained why he believes that he will never wrestle a five-star match, sharing his thoughts on the concept.

The idea of a five-star match has been an ongoing debate for a long time in the wrestling world, with fans often divided when the likes of Dave Meltzer will share their opinions on top matches.

Speaking with WrestleZone, Spears noted that he doesn’t think there’s such thing as a five-star match.

Recalling a lesson he learned from Shawn Michaels while with WWE, Spears said:

“I’ll never have a five-star match, in my opinion, or seven stars, or whatever the ranking is nowadays. In my opinion, never. Never will I ever.

“A lot of people watching this will say, ‘Oh yeah, of course, you won’t.’ No, I don’t, because I don’t believe it exists. Because there’s always something to improve on, somewhere.

“I learned that back in my NXT days under Shawn Michaels in his class. He doesn’t watch a lot of his matches back.

“And I’m like, ‘Come on.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, no.’ If he feels good about it, he lets it go. So I kind of understand that mindset a little bit. If I feel good about it, I let it go.

“But I’ll never have a five-star classic, because I’ll always find something that I could’ve done better.”

Spears last wrestled for AEW on the April 28 edition of Rampage, teaming with Ricky Starks to face off against Jay White & Juice Robinson.

This Wednesday’s (May 10) edition of Dynamite has been touted by Tony Khan as a ‘PPV on TBS’ because of its stacked card.

The lineup for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite is as follows:

No Holds Barred – Julia Hart vs. Anna Jay

Open House Rules match for the AEW Trios Championship – House of Black (c) vs. Bandido & Best Friends

AEW International Championship – Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Daniel Garcia

Double Jeopardy Match – Claudio Castagnoli vs. Rey Fenix

Steel Cage Match – Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley
