It can never physically be as good as it was in the late 90s. Too many things happened and it was the perfect mix of pop culture, good talent, real personalities, and a different culture
you’ve already seen the best matches you’ll ever see with guys like Shawn Michaels who could tell a story and make things mean something
you’ll never get shit more death defying than Mankind being thrown off HIAC
It can never be as authentic as it once was due to different times. Wrestlers back then lived a rock and roll lifestyle which came out in their personalities in the ring. That, or they were legitimately doing it to support their family and has actual respect for the business.
Now all wrestlers are teenie bopper crybabies who used to be passionate fans and think they know what other people want to watch without giving any respect to the fundamentals of what pro wrestling was. It’s all just flippy dumb shit with no story and then repeat weekly. Guys like the young bucks or Dean Ambrose would have gotten their shit pushed in by the vets if they pulled the diva antics they do today
So honestly, why do you watch it? Do you think it’ll just improve one day? I can understand the pureso style of Japan, they still respect their own style over there
FYI I don’t watch anymore because it’s unbearable, I’ll every now and then check in to see if any big news happened or vets make an appearance or something. Wrestling was basically my life from 1996 to 2005ish. And now the idea of sitting through a 3 hour RAW or AEW seems borderline inhumane
