Did you not like 80’s wrestling?

I don't really remember much of 80's wrestling to be honest. I know most of the big names from that era but I didn't really pay attention to it since I was a bit too young.

- Matches not repeating themselves week in, week out
- Feuds having a purpose and NOT just focussing around a title (I'm liking Rollins/Cesaro, for example)
- Promos not being drawn out and getting to the point
- Less stupid segments/characters
- Less interference in matches
- Less DQ finishes
- Titles actually meaning something again

The main thing that get me back into like WWE or New Japan, and maybe even AEW would character arcs, which has more or less faded away. To me, that was the best thing about wrestling was a character's story arc an example being how Kenta Kobashi went from a Young Boy always losing to the legend he is now and every step he had to take to get there.

The other thing is have matches that mean something. Most matches now have no psychology or even story behind them. It is just person a fights person b because x reason. Nothing more and nothing less. I want to be invested into a story line or eve a feud, and I want the pain and struggle the hero, or face in this manner, to be showed rather than told. A good example of this recently, who have been Gargano's feud against Ciampa or even Okada's feud with Kenny. A great example would be Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper at WM 8.

CM Punk would also get me to watch Weekly TV more often if he returned. He's my favourite talent, so it makes sense.
Proof Tony Khan is a member here. He saw this, wanted your view :cudi got the deal done

Tony Khan has done it. The magnificent bastard. :moneymark

I always said CM Punk would be the thing that brings me back full-time, and quite clearly I was always correct in thinking that. Started watching AEW because of the rumours, stayed for the great product and eventual debut. Now I'm addicted.
