For some wrestling fans, star ratings are a way of life. It's one thing to say whether a match is good or bad, but can you really score on it?

[{"selector":"#anim-2220b170-e624-4813-86b1-bd23f5472d8d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(57.48563011128815%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2145111-7b76-485c-80d8-1e6dd9d2ab73","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91e2e5a2-9bb1-437b-b03d-d82928869c0d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The star rating system is a scale from 0 to 5 with increments of 0.25. A 5-star match is as perfect as it gets

[{"selector":"#anim-e063dd83-0817-449b-a47a-c1bda9801523 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(51.2193339979955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bfa030c7-c14b-42dd-9d02-245b3c6b0c43","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(113.59774%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0a91af22-56fe-4517-aa19-4a09d0e9380b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-54dbe2d4-0334-4599-acbb-18b45fe7d3ac","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

while a 0-star match is completely useless. Determining the star rating for a given match is a highly subjective process.

[{"selector":"#anim-d15adede-96c6-4b82-8a5e-3e0e1c436731 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.190739456030485%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1fce747-cfd9-4460-938b-780902a3826d","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

In general the goal is to wrap all significant elements of a match into a simple number.

[{"selector":"#anim-00f29e4d-66b2-4d2b-b4f6-0a48bdd6f4e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-62.37483288250637%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b0ca0f5-da17-4d3f-bb1e-2c23ab341a72","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7d4eb5eb-ecc8-4fd4-9d1b-f8420384fd06","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Some factors to consider may include the story and booking of the match, the style of the cast, ring psychology, length of the match, audience reaction, etc.

There is no such thing as a wrong answer, as every wrestling fan eats this art form differently.

The purpose of the Cageside Community Star Rating is for readers to assign a star rating to each match in a given WWE Pay-Per-View event.

These results will be tabulated and summarized after each match has been voted on by the community on pay-per-view.
