Why do you think the ECW fans, go to WWE arenas, and chant ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!? I've been thinking on this for quite sometime. I've come to the conclution, all wrestling fans have a sense of nostalgia. Wrestling evolves every 3-10 years.
Just look, 70's was technical. 80's was hogan, entertainment. 90's we had technicallity of Hart/HBK, and the attitude era. '00 is where my sense of nostalgia holds. For me. I just call it wrestling. Its entertaining, and a little technical. I have no clue what era to call it. I just call it wrestling. Much like you might call your era, if you were born in the 80's early 90's late 90's or The wrestling era
Take you Hulkamaniacs, I'll use Ricky as my example, just because I KNOW hes older and watched it back then. Ricky, probably likes more wrestling that is like the 80's because thats his era. It would probably be more entertaining to him, to just hear someone how flashy they are. Like flair, "the Jetflyin, lemosine riding, kiss stealing, wheelin dealin, son of a gun!!" If a rookie came out, all flashy, and could back it up, saying "Yacht ridin, Cadillac driven, Armoni Suit wearin, boob feelin, Thugnasty son of a gun!" Ricky, would probably be entertained. (Note: My Promo's aren't good but you all get the point?)
Take you early 90's fans. You'd be heavily into factions more than likely. NWO, 4 Horseman, and The Hart Foundation ran wild from 90-97. So probably Legacy, Evolution, Team Canada, MeM, would entertain you greatly. Your sense of nostalgia, would make it to where you are more entertained, by tag matches, and large factions. I can't really think of any AMAZING singles stars, that these factions didn't overshadow.
Take you attitude era fans. They are the ones who yell ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!! at the wrestling arena. These guys are the ones who complain, about how shit wrestling has gotten. They want to see UFC, and beatdowns in the ring. Not good ol' fashion wrestlings. These people were the start of amazing cashflow, and the end of it.
For me, I like powerhitting type werstling. John Cena makes me happy. Theres an attitude that goes on in their wrestling, yet they don't sink to the level of cursing, drinking, and just plain trash, that the attitude era did. I am part of this era. I will always like guys like JBL, HHH, Cena, Batista, Orton, because of such things. My wrestling Nostalgia years from now, will probably be along the lines of, newer guys. As they are the most entertaining to me. WWE has been bringing in tons of new talent since the Attitude Era died out, and those wrestlers left. Some made it, some didn't.
So there you have it. What do you think about your wrestling nostalgia. And do you even think its real? Is my conclution wrong as to why those ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!!ECW!!! guys go to matches?
