It’s sad that ‘old stuff was awesome, new stuff sucks’ is just something folks can throw around in damn near any medium without having to show their work. Ie: I continuously double dog dare folks to watch RANDOM old rasslin shows with 2021 eyes so they can see how bad some of the stuff is that they’re praising to the heavens. Sure, there’d be a lot to love depending on which show you stumbled into.

BUT

Some of the stalling/stretching segments, bad finish shenanigans and other flat out bad stuff will be there too. Some feuds went on forever. Some feuds didn’t happen cuz folks were being bitches backstage. Some bad folks got pushed down everyone’s throat. Some good workers never really got a full shot at shining. Aka a lot of the same stuff was going on then. But documentaries and YouTube allow folks to filter that stuff out and act like every show during their era of choice was the main event of Bash at the Beach 96, mania 17, and/or Steamboat vs Flair 89.
