1999:You cheered for whoever badass wrestler you think whether he was a face or heel
2009:You can't stand how good the faces are, and how cowardly the heels are.
1999:Crowd goes nuts whenever a theme music hits
2009:Crowd goes nuts for main event faces
1999:You brought whatever sign you wrote to the arena with you knowing the WWE respets freedom of speech and won't do anything to you if your sign even mentioned the competition.
2009:If your sign didn't like the WWE, it'll get confisticated
1999:You see thousands of middle fingers when the top face enters
2009:You can see bitches and stupid kids doing five knuckle shuffles when the top face enters
1999:You can switch the channel when you think the show isnot good
2009:The only thing you can do when the show sucks is to Go to sleep
1999:Rock vs HHH could've been done 1000 times yet still every feud of them was new to us.
2009:Feuds become boring to death even if its the first time they have been done (Hardy vs Hardy- booking the feud towards wrestlemania was awful- not the Hardyz fault though)
1999:The Undercard title meant something
2009:The undercard titles are like toys
1999ivas were so hot, and were allowed to show their bodies
2009ivas are hot but not allowed to show their bodies(aside from some rare bikini contests)
1999:Matches were so intense even if the feud wasnot based on a personal issue.
2009:Matches look so boring even when the feud is built on supposdly one man knocking the other's family out.
1999:Fans kept a match between Viscera and Val Venis alive by their reaction to every move
2009:Fans sleep during the main event of WrestleMania
1999:99% of PPVs worthed watching and yet they were cheap
2009
PVs are so expensive when 99% of them are DUD PPVs.
1999:You don't stop counting the hours waiting for any wrestling show to start, and you act to every match as if your cousin was the one who was wrestling
2009:You just flip through the channels, find RAW, and say,"OH its RAW lets see if something new happened from last month." and you find how uterly boring the show was you tell yourself "DAMMIT, I wasted two hours of my life when I had the chance to watch a movie." and promise yourself not to watch that crap again.
1999:You got excited when they announce a new show "SD" will start airing
2009:You just cry when you know that the WWE thinks of doing a new show
all i have to say is,it's a SHAME what wrestling has become
once again,this is NOT my thread,i'm just recopying it
