Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
You don't know how good something is until you miss it. We all have those little moments tucked away in our minds, where the novelty of something doesn't seem all that great until you look back on it. That's how nostalgia works. There are things about wrestling that made it fun for us who may be disillusioned with the current production. This thread is meant to bring up those touches that, skimming through old videos, makes the show better than what you remembered it to be.
One of my favorite things about watching old matches are the camera flashes. I know it seems pretty trivial in regards to spectacles in wrestling, but there's just something about hundreds of lights going off when a big moment like someone flying through a table or climbing a ladder that seems awfully amiss to me in these modern times. It showed not only that the fans were paying complete attention, but they also wanted in on the action and to have a piece of it after the show ended. That bit of old culture probably isn't coming back any time soon, and it's a damn shame because the camera flashes really did give everything more of a star quality.
If you noticed something from "back in the day" that you'd like to mention, drop a line. Maybe some of us just haven't noticed yet and when you bring it up, we can collectively say "Ohhh yeah! That was cool."
