Wrestling just isn't what it used to be

Yeah cause Hogan Vs Warrior was better than Bryan Vs Punk

The build was a trillion times better. Ultimately the match doesn't matter if no one is watching. They don't craft rivalries and feuds like they used to. I blame it on monthly PPVs.

Bret's the employee (or was); Vince is (still) the boss, although probably not to the extent he was at that point.

And, while I don't think Vince was really right to do what he did, I think Bret was definitely in the wrong to refuse to do the honors. He could have proposed a lot of ways to end that match that Vince probably would have gone for, but he just flatly refused to lose that night. And Vince wanted to take the title off of him, mainly to avoid another Alundra Blayze situation. And crowning a champ on free TV rather than at Survivor Series would have just been silly.

I wish the OP had gone further into detail with his opinion, but he is right. For better or worse nobody can deny wrestling isn't what it used to be.

You're right.

And I blame the Internet.

True...but that wasn't as big as the blowoff to the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels feud.

It would have been like Goldberg beating Hogan for the WCW Championship on an episode of Nitro.....wait....

Honestly wrestling has peaks and slumps and we are gradually coming out a slump at the min its getting better and we are on for a good few years.

Bret behaved like a child. I understand that he didn't want to but you've got to be a professional in these situations.

Of course wrestling isn't what it used to be. Over time things change and evolve which is what wrestling as a whole has done.
