What do you remember from the years 1990-95 when wrestling declined?

Piper vs Flair at MSG in 1991 for example, followed by Hogan vs Flair a week later in MSG. I am a mark for the very early 90s and late 80s but in my opinion, those were the best worked matches. Flair, Macho, Hogan, Piper, Perfect, Roberts, Warrior, Debiase. These guys are some of the best ever as far as out of ring work combined with in ring work.

I watched a Warrior Debiase match from SNME about 1990 Id say. Warrior was actually doing real wrestling moves. Even the guys like Warrior who weren't great in the ring were still incredible to watch.

I started being old enough to actually watch live wrestling when I was probably 7. Born in 1986 one of my oldest wrestling memory is Bam Bam on Superstars or Raw or something. Luckily my local grocery store had all the old pay per views. I mean every Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series on VHS. My parents would shop and I would try to chose one which was always a tough choice. The Royal Rumble boxes from the early 90s were so damn cool. The gimmicks from 90, 91, 92 will never be matched. The combination of colors and costumes and characters back then seriously deserves an award.

Wrestling video games back then were really freaking cool on gameboy, super nintendo, and Genesis.

Does anyone remember the game Wrestlefest? I used to play that at the arcade right around this time period. Coolest arcade game ever.

I dont know about anything else that happened in society but I can give you my opinions if the wrestling world. To me, it didnt really start to change until after 1992. 90-92 you still had the big name drawing power. After that we not only saw a changing of the guard from Hogan to Hart, but we saw a different product. Of course, as everyone knows, the ideas in Vince's head started to change and the more athletic/younger talent was finally given a bigger role and platform to showcase their skills. He had no choice...the star power wasnt there so he had to entertain the audience the old fashioned way...inside the ring.

Honestly, there was never a time in WWF(E) history that I didnt enjoy up until WM19...never missed a show. Didnt get back into wrestling until WM 25.

I miss the good ol days but have learned to like the product today.

I just remember being bored a lot. Kind of like WWE after 2002-2003 until about a year ago (Hey, it has gotten better). That's the thing with wrasslin' it always cycles through. Awesome, boring, awesome, boring, so I stuck with it as usual. After the comedown from the Hulkamania trip, people were expecting too much.

I actually preferred WcW/NWA during this time.
