What do you miss from the different eras of Wrestling?

I grew up watching the golden age, when Hulk Hogan was starting to get his Hulkermania going. I loved the larger-than-life characters, and how the old roster could compete for the various belts. Even a mid-carder could at some stage get a push, where these days WWE only ever pushes the wrestlers they want.

Sometimes the odd one can get over, but they have to push for it themselves. I like AEW for the matches, and how they tend to rotate who is challenging for their main title.

I miss the Monday Night Wars, when even though it is fake it seemed real. It was enjoyable, now wrestlers don't have much personality, it's scripted and a bit of a slog to watch.

What I miss more is the character. Not everybody needed a championship belt before becoming memorable. Back then, somebody can come into the arena, talk nonsens and the crowd will remember him for years. But now, everything feels polished and overproduced.
