Had stories, characters and excellent matches, within the last couple years watched a match on Raw from back then which was Mankind vs Owen Hart, phenomenal, better than anything seen on Raw for years. Everything just felt realer, more intense and more urgent, shows weren't as drawn out too, no social media plugging obviously. Harder music for the theme, more intense, more passion in the commentary, it was just vastly superior. The matches had meaning too, I remember watching Bret vs Shawn and it felt like so much was on the line for their matches, you really cared about what was going to happen, everybody wins and loses to eachother now like it's nothing, psychology has been ruined. I'm sure it will pick up again 1 day but it's in a dire state right now.
