Dave Meltzer is one of the most well-known names in all of professional wrestling journalism. Some love the guy, others love to hate him. Either way, he's known by many in the wrestling world. Meltzer is also known for bestowing a select number of matches with the title of "5 star match." While it’s a rare honor, it is considered a high honor indeed, with very few ever achieving such a feat.
At TNA Sacrifice on September 11, 2005, AJ Styles defeated both Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe, in a Triple Threat match, winning the TNA X-Division title. What makes this title victory even better, is the fact that this match also earned the prestigious 5 Star ranking from Meltzer and Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
