<p id="wDXOg3">Last week the community at Cageside Seats was asked to assign star ratings for all 8 matches that took place at <em>Payback 2017</em>.</p>
<p id="12DmGs">The votes have all been tabulated, and for every match I will include these summary statistics:</p>
<ul>
<li id="jX0Irv">Votes: Total number of votes cast for a given match. </li>
<li id="vdW0sV">AVG: The weighted average of every vote. </li>
<li id="bjIFaa">Q1: First quartile, which is the value that roughly 25% of the votes fall at or below.</li>
<li id="QYZbMc">Q2: Second quartile (aka median), which is the value that roughly 50% of the votes fall at or below. </li>
<li id="MQNgDT">Q3: Third quartile, which is the value that roughly 75% of the votes fall at or below.</li>
<li id="7aREiG">Meltzer: Dave Meltzer’s star rating for a given match.</li>
<li id="c4Ekey">Meltz Gap: The magnitude of the difference between Meltzer and AVG.</li>
<li id="lUpSgO">Cain: My own personal star rating for the match. </li>
<li id="WuKPHL">5-stars: The percentage of votes for 5 stars.</li>
<li id="e8VJ8I">4-stars or more: The percentage of votes for at least 4 stars.</li>
<li id="u2FzOF">2.25 to 3.75 stars: The percentage of votes for more than 2 stars but less than 4 stars.</li>
<li id="7aDOLn">2-stars or less: The percentage of votes that did not surpass 2 stars.</li>
<li id="47mzNK">0-stars: The percentage of votes for 0 stars.</li>
</ul>
<p id="cH3Y16">The following sortable table includes all the results of the Cageside Community Star Ratings for <em>Payback 2017.</em></p>
<div id="70xqt2"><div data-anthem-component="table:437675"></div></div>
<p id="8HNZ8a">Here is a graphical summary of some of the numbers from the table. For any given match, the bottom of the blue rectangle is Q1 and the top of the blue rectangle is Q3. In most cases the blue rectangle includes the values where roughly the middle 50% of the votes were cast for that match. The thin line above the blue rectangle shows where roughly the highest 25% of the votes were cast, and the thin blue line below the rectangle shows where roughly the lowest 25% of the votes were cast. The matches are displayed left to right, sorted by AVG in descending order:</p>

<p id="BXjWGr"><strong>Analysis</strong></p>
<p id="qvg17K">The main characteristic that stands out is the parity in AVG among the top 6 matches, which featured a small range between 3.62 stars (Reigns vs. Strowman) and 3.93 stars (Owens vs. Jericho). Dave Meltzer echoed this parity between the top 6 matches on the card, with his star ratings ranging from 3.00 to 3.50 stars for all of those matches. So his overall ratings for these matches were lower than the community, but he agreed that all 6 were of similar quality.</p>
<p id="ymau97">Out of these 6 matches, Rollins versus Joe (13.53%) and Reigns versus Strowman (11.77%) were the only two with greater than 10% of its votes in the 5-star category, but these two matches ended up with the 5th and 6th highest AVG, respectively. </p>
<p id="kV8Scw">The main reason Strowman’s match fell to the lowest AVG among these 6 matches is because 13.87% of the votes were for 2 stars or less. None of the top 5 matches even reached 5% of their votes in that range.</p>
<p id="gHc5Kn">Rollins and Joe fell down to the 5th highest AVG among the top 6 matches because only 47.74% of its votes were for 4 stars or more. The other 5 matches scored between 53% and 63% in this area. 48.12% of the votes for Rollins and Joe fell into the range of 2.25 stars to 3.75 stars, which was the highest in this category out of any match on the card.</p>
<p id="xq99rN">Jericho’s match ended up with the highest AVG because it had the third best showing of the night in the 5-star voting (9.09%), the highest voting percentage for 4 stars or more (62.03%), and the second lowest percentage for 2 stars or less (2.14%). </p>
<p id="5fv2SE">Cesaro (3.87), Neville (3.84), and Bayley (3.82) all finished within 0.05 stars of each other based on the community AVG. Cesaro’s match benefited greatly from zero votes for 0 stars, which rarely happens, and only 1.14% of its votes at 2 stars or less. This allowed it to just edge its AVG by Neville versus Aries, which actually beat out Cesaro’s match in voting for 4-stars or more (58.26% vs. 54.95%), but trailed slightly in every other category. </p>
<p id="RbjEAL">Bayley’s match had twice as high a percentage in the 5-star range than these two matches (8.81% vs. 4.40% vs. 4.35%), but Bayley’s match fell just short of the other two in the voting for 4-stars or more, as well as 2-stars or less. Neville and Cesaro actually had the poorest results in the 5-star category out of all 8 matches on the card, as every other match surpassed 5% in this category.</p>
<p id="A8fMlf">Bayley’s match also saw way more total votes (488) than either Cesaro (182) or Neville (115).</p>
<p id="vayldK">The worst two matches of the night were House of Horrors and the pre-show tag match featuring Enzo & Cass.</p>
<p id="uIGkak">Enzo’s match had an AVG of 2.63 stars, with only 24.29% of the votes for 4 stars or more, and 35.71% of the votes for 2 stars or less. Dave Meltzer agreed that this was the 2nd worst match of the night, giving it 2 stars. The community showed very little interest in this match, with just 70 total votes and no comments.</p>
<p id="OdirZz">House of Horrors had an AVG of 2.17 stars, with only 16.39% of its votes for 4 stars or more, and 52.01% of the votes for 2-stars or less. Dave Meltzer hated this match and gave it 0.5 stars.</p>
<p id="tFxR0u">Wyatt’s match with Orton actually did achieve 8.03% of its votes at the 5-star level, beating out Cesaro, Neville, and Enzo in this category. The main thing that sunk this match was the voting for 0-stars, scoring a 14.55% in this category. No other match on the card even reached 3% in that category.</p>
<p id="efz6T5"><strong>Community Feedback</strong></p>
<p id="srSBl4">Finally, here are some thoughts on these matches from various Cagesiders:</p>

<blockquote>
<p id="RenTWq">I'll say 3.25 stars</p>
<p id="QIuJYY">Nothing earth shaking, but it told a good story, I loved the callback to WM with the finger on the ropes (and then Jericho slamming the finger with the steps to prevent Owens escaping that way again), and his win was a feel good surprise that popped the crowd.</p>

<p id="rv1a25">4</p>
<p id="QAqLUF">I loved this match, and I think these teams gel together really well.</p>
<p id="qWjNVL">2nd rope White Noise was beautiful, and there’s never going to be a time i wont pop for that Corkscrew Uppercut. The only reason I’ve marked it down is I didn’t like the finish, not because I’m a bigger fan of Cesaro than I am of the Hardys, but because I feel like that blind tag Swanton is a Hardy finish that I’ve seen a thousand times before.</p>

<p id="VlRZ1k">Comment from: TheFuzzyOne</p>
<blockquote>
<p id="a1ftPp">4.25</p>
<p id="U59vM6">Absolutely fantastic match, and while the ending booking damaged Neville’s presence as a dominant force heel, it at least told a story with it of him encountering someone who can go at his level.</p>
<p id="5lBlix">There’s just a degree of effort and will to prove themselves in this match that is both in story and in reality. You can see those two guys trying their damnedest to steal the show every time. Those suicide dives from Aries are something else!</p>

<p id="nsSqGg">For all intents and purposes it was a good match but it just didn’t do it for me. Felt slow and I could never get into it. Maybe it was because it was coming off the House of Horrors so it had a dead crowd. I don’t know. But it felt slightly above average. Also, Cain A Knight sucks.</p>

<blockquote>
<p id="nOx2Q7">3.5</p>
<p id="u4MS5q">And that’s not taking anything away from the match at all. It achieved its goal flawlessly, told a story, and was executed fine in the ring. It was just scripted to be a shorter match without a ton of actual wrestling that served the function of advancing the story between these two as much as it was meant to entertain as an actual wrestling match.</p>
<p id="J6gOU2">The match itself was probably a 2.5 just in terms of the quality of wrestling, but the story it told was 4.5, easy. I split the difference and go with a very complimentary 3.5.</p>

<p id="B9Pz25">WWE's <em>Payback 2017</em> lasted for 2 hours 45 minutes and 53 seconds (2h 45m 53s). Here is a breakdown of the timing for every single second of the show, in chronological order.</p>
<p id="kGDUxe">The matches are in bold. The "pre-match" segments include video packages, entrances, ring introductions, and any verbal promos that occur right before a match officially begins. The "post-match" segments include any celebrations, replays, angles, attacks, or promos that occur right after a match is finished.</p>
<div id="oJzrxe"><div data-anthem-component="table:436028"></div></div>
<p id="RcCn4T"><strong>Match Times</strong></p>
<p id="PTtzOl">The 7 matches combined for a total time of 1h 35m 23s. This means that 57.5% of the show was devoted to bell-to-bell action. This is the 15th highest percentage in this category out of the 57 WWE pay-per-view (PPV) events in my data set, which begins with <a href="http://www.cagesideseats.com/cageside-seats-features/2013/11/20/5080006/match-times-wwe-royal-rumble-2013-edition"><em>Royal Rumble 2013</em></a>. </p>
<p id="lFwmG1">Here is the sorted list of match times for <em>Payback 2017</em>. This also includes where each match time ranks out of all 408 matches in my data set.</p>
<ul>
<li id="PJhUl4">18m 31s: Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (94th longest out of 408 matches) </li>
<li id="qmYVfk">15m 57s: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe (131st)</li>
<li id="I8Dg9z">14m 01s: Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (163rd) </li>
<li id="RUCsjm">12m 44s: Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus (192nd)</li>
<li id="ZQCFfI">11m 42s: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman (212th) </li>
<li id="omdI6M">11m 17s: Neville vs. Austin Aries (228th)</li>
<li id="qFR5a2">11m 11s: Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss (231st)</li>
</ul>
<p id="snRFMy"><strong>Pre-match Segments</strong></p>
<p id="waPk6Q">The pre-match segments combined for a total time of 36m 40s, which is 22.1% of the show. This is the 33rd highest percentage in this category out of the 57 events in my data set. </p>
<p id="YIZsfC">Here is the sorted list of pre-match segment time for all 7 matches. For some context, keep in mind that the median pre-match segment time in my data set is 5m 22s and the average time is 6m 02s.</p>
<ul>
<li id="1SgLg4">8m 10s: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman</li>
<li id="UIBeTs">6m 48s: Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt </li>
<li id="FrhGvS">5m 25s: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe</li>
<li id="BHzX5I">5m 10s: Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus </li>
<li id="M9RTNc">4m 47s: Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss</li>
<li id="JypszZ">3m 31s: Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho </li>
<li id="vjDwZ7">2m 49s: Neville vs. Austin Aries</li>
</ul>
<p id="U5ecAI">Three matches received the special treatment of a dedicated video package right before superstar entrances. The videos hyping Orton's match (3m 05s), Joe's match (2m 42s), and Strowman's match (4m 35s), combined to take up 10m 22s of the pre-match segment time.</p>
<p id="GgjcyD"><strong>Post-match Segments</strong></p>
<p id="8KfDTm">The post-match segments combined for a total time of 20m 26s, which is 12.3% of the show. This is the 8th highest percentage in this category out of the 57 events in my data set. </p>
<p id="IgmcGX">Here is the sorted list of the post-match segment time for all 7 matches. For some context, keep in mind that the median post-match segment time in my data set is 1m 57s and the average time is 2m 28s.</p>
<ul>
<li id="J3O0CE">6m 53s: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman </li>
<li id="INXY3i">5m 00s: Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus</li>
<li id="aIzac6">2m 24s: Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt </li>
<li id="0iWOKC">1m 49s: Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho</li>
<li id="BF6Ffl">1m 42s: Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss </li>
<li id="829rqX">1m 23s: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe</li>
<li id="i4alHb">1m 15s: Neville vs. Austin Aries</li>
</ul>
<p id="hT2Psc"><strong>Miscellaneous Segments</strong></p>
<p id="ujTnM9">That leaves about 8.1% (13m 24s) of the show for everything else. This is the 56th highest percentage in this category out of the 57 events in my data set.</p>
<p id="704Iiz">Most of these miscellaneous segments are crammed into the time after one post-match segment ends and before the next pre-match segment begins. <em>Payback 2017</em> included 7 different blocks of miscellaneous segments. Here is how long each block lasted, in chronological order:</p>
<ul>
<li id="nBrKso">Block 1: 3m 44s (Then Now Forever; Opening hype video and pyro)</li>
<li id="bMu45Q">Block 2: 2m 34s (Ads for WWE Network and WWE Shop) </li>
<li id="7Vb35C">Block 3: 1m 15s (Ad for <em>Sleight</em>; Hype for <em>Backlash</em>)</li>
<li id="SBHZDd">Block 4: 1m 10s (Video for #WWEHero; Backstage Strowman promo) </li>
<li id="sAL26q">Block 5: 1m 03s (Ad for <em>The Wall</em>; Filler commentary)</li>
<li id="FZ2OzA">Block 6: 2m 08s (Ad for WWE Network; Hype for <em>Raw Talk</em>) </li>
<li id="M3JU3m">Block 7: 1m 30s (Ad for <em>The Resurrection of Gavin Stone</em>; Hype for <em>Backlash</em>)</li>
</ul>
<p id="2tC6qP"><strong>Summary</strong></p>
<p id="56KNhO">Here is a listing of how much total show time was allocated for each match when you add up all 3 components: pre-match time, match time, and post-match time. This list also includes where each total time ranks among the 408 entries in my data set.</p>
<ul>
<li id="uWyuhq">27m 43s: Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt (108th longest out of 408 entries) </li>
<li id="ND0Oel">26m 45s: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman (118th)</li>
<li id="oCZPEn">22m 54s: Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus (163rd) </li>
<li id="coNemM">22m 45s: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe (167th)</li>
<li id="5rvWfq">19m 21s: Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho (210th) </li>
<li id="Ctnn24">17m 40s: Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss (237th)</li>
<li id="bp4vwq">15m 21s: Neville vs. Austin Aries (278th)</li>
</ul>
<p id="W3y8t7">Now here is a look at the "Match Time Percentage" for each match. For any given match, this percentage shows how the match time compares to the combined pre-match and post-match segment time. For some context, it's good to know that the median result here since 2013 is 63.0%.</p>
<p id="pkpPhn">(Here's an example calculation: an entry with a match time of 6m 00s, pre-match time of 3m 00s, and a post-match time of 1m 00s has a score of 60.0%, because the match time of 6m 00s is 60% of the total sum of 10m 00s for all three components.)</p>
<ul>
<li id="NsQCps">73.5%: Neville vs. Austin Aries </li>
<li id="oOkURU">72.4%: Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho</li>
<li id="uFtQqf">70.1%: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe </li>
<li id="8DIPQc">66.8%: Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt</li>
<li id="ZP1ain">63.3%: Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss </li>
<li id="2HKNQf">55.6%: Hardy Boyz vs. Cesaro & Sheamus</li>
<li id="NyyY77">43.7%: Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman</li>

<p id="UsqNNY">Welcome to Cageside Community Star Ratings for <em>Payback 2017</em>!</p>
<p id="oZ9ohs">For some wrestling fans, star ratings are a way of life. It’s one thing to say that a match is good or bad, but can you actually put a number on it?</p>
<p id="7xub29">The star rating system is a scale ranging from 0 to 5 with increments of 0.25. A 5-star match is as close to perfect as it gets while a 0-star match is a complete dud.</p>
<p id="SWM4Od">Determining the star rating for a given match is a highly subjective process. In general the goal is to wrap up all the important elements of a match into one simple number. Some factors to consider may include the story and booking of the match, the workrate of the performers, ring psychology, length of the match, audience reaction, and so forth.</p>
<p id="7gXPFH">There is no such thing as a wrong answer, because every wrestling fan consumes this art form in a different way.</p>
<p id="Hd1AsX">The purpose of Cageside Community Star Ratings is for the readers to assign star ratings to every single match on a given WWE pay-per-view event. These results will be tabulated and summarized after every match on the pay-per-view has been voted on by the community.</p>
<p id="ISCzjy">The final match up for debate from <em>Payback 2017</em> is Enzo & Big Cass versus Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson.</p>

<p id="oZ9ohs">For some wrestling fans, star ratings are a way of life. It’s one thing to say that a match is good or bad, but can you actually put a number on it?</p>
<p id="7xub29">The star rating system is a scale ranging from 0 to 5 with increments of 0.25. A 5-star match is as close to perfect as it gets while a 0-star match is a complete dud.</p>
<p id="SWM4Od">Determining the star rating for a given match is a highly subjective process. In general the goal is to wrap up all the important elements of a match into one simple number. Some factors to consider may include the story and booking of the match, the workrate of the performers, ring psychology, length of the match, audience reaction, and so forth.</p>
<p id="7gXPFH">There is no such thing as a wrong answer, because every wrestling fan consumes this art form in a different way.</p>
<p id="Hd1AsX">The purpose of Cageside Community Star Ratings is for the readers to assign star ratings to every single match on a given WWE pay-per-view event. These results will be tabulated and summarized after every match on the pay-per-view has been voted on by the community.</p>
<p id="ISCzjy">The next match up for debate from <em>Payback 2017</em> is the Neville versus Austin Aries.</p>
