What do you miss in Wrestling?

I think we may have had this thread before a while back....but oh well. Jim will mark for it.

Basically just list anything you miss in wrestling. Things which don't happen in wrestling anymore, stables, a particular wrestler, a company. Anything. Give a reason as well ideally.

I miss one World Title in WWE. I think multiple World Titles cheapens what it means to be the Champion. There are too many title matches, and more than one guy claiming to be the best in the business. World Title feuds always seemed a bigger deal in the pre-brand extension era.

Good point. Personal feuds in general don't get much exposure with 3 World Titles either, so your point kind of ties in with mine. All the big feuds are about title gold.

That's because of tribranded PPVs.

Single brand PPVs need to return!


I miss managers. The age of managers has passed due to scripted promos I think.

If it gets to the point when you think there are NO exciting storylines in WWE, you should stop watching tbh.

I've cut down dramatically, I don't watch Smackdown or Ecw for the most part and I've started skipping many TNA shows. Just because I don't find the storylines interesting, it doesn't mean that I should just quit. There is more to the wrestling industry than just storylines tbh.

Think of wrestling as a marriage. Would you quit and want a divorce at the first sign of trouble? Or would you give it time to try and mend your problems?

Well that is an acceptable analogy, but you talk as if you hate the current product and the days of wrestling being great are gone forever.

Well yes and no. First, I don't hate everything about today's wrestling. If I did, I wouldn't even know who 75% of the wrestlers were. Hating or loving is just a matter of personal preference. The days of what I believe is good wrestling is over. And I highly doubt it'd ever return. I'm sure there's past generations who felt the same way once Vince McMahon started pushing the Rock N Wrestling era, making wrestling more stylish than ever before. I'm sure that there's even some that started to be turned off of professional wrestling once the Gold Dust Trio changed the landscape forever. But, I'm just one fan who along with some other fans feel this way. Wrestling will always have fans and bring in new fans for each new direction they decide to steer the business in.

Now back to me not hating the current product. It isn't so much that I hate it, but rather that I believe that companies could be so much better than they are. It's like each company are going after the quick and easy short cuts to build things up. As opposed to the more drawn out, harder, but in the end the pay off will be so much better.
