It's true all these things are a shadow of their former selves. Era of being too lazy to think up ideas. Its all remakes and rehash of everything smh.

To me the biggest issue is the having to read from scripts..when they were allowed to free flow and speak from their heart makes it terrible. Their acting sucks and you can 100 percent tell they are just reading lines instead of making it feel like they really don't like each other

Part of the reason why the Golden era was so amazing was due to all of the individual identities of the territories converging into one company and making a wildly unique product and cast of characters/ styles. And that era eventually set the stage for the Monday night wars because in a way it was a lot of the older wwe guys in wcw pitted against the new crop of WWF guys. And ironically enough many of the good rising WWF guys were previously in wcw like Austin, triple H, taker, goldust, mankind etc... but under/ improperly utilized

The internet is the worst thing about wrestling now

On point!....Biggest problem is the performance center as opposed to what the territories produced, back in the day.

When you see a pint size Ricochet beat Drew Galloway that itself tells you where the state of wrestling is.

Wrestlers back then looked like they were born from their own parallel universes. The characters were all so awesome . They didn’t seem human they were gladiators

Hogan nailed it 100%

We had Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, Cena, Rock, Andre. Truth is wwe is missing that big guy to push the envelope and boost the company. And it hasn’t had one since Cena left.

Good point actually. If the wrestlers had their own unique persona and fanbase they'd have way more control but instead their expendable assets every last one of em

Facts. Zero individualality

Hogan speaking facts

He has a point but I think it's just a lack of star power in general, not the need for a top guy. The attitude era had more than one top guy at any given time and they all elevated each other.

I have to agree. I’m a middle aged guy who has witnessed several eras. I know some wrestling fans may not want to hear this or may even find it offensive, but wrestling became huge because it was a curiosity. It was a freak show. A circus if you will. Someone had to be enormous in size, highly animated, have a unique voice, easy to hate, weird configuration, or attractive. They all had to possess charisma. The guy with the most range was usually the golden goose. I wouldn’t recognize a wrestler in the grocery store now.

In other words, no one is being unique. They follow a formula.

Such a fascinating statement. I agree that the kayfabe era made such larger than life, over the top gimmicks and performances possible. But “made things look real” is something I’d apply more to the pre-WWF guys of the territories era, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Nick Bockwinkel, etc. Plus, of course, the stiff strong-style wrestling of Japan, and in a completely different sense, the Everyman hardcore brawlers of ECW (believable, relatable characters engaging in actually dangerous levels of violence). But honestly, I just listened to CM Punk’s opening promo for AEW Colliseum, and I felt the exact same pop I got from watching Macho Man from the 80’s or Austin from the 90’s.
