Popped in the Invasion VHS and I always thought the Edge/Christian vs. Awesome/Storm match was a good match and a nice way to lead off the PPV.

Actually watched Savage/Hogan from WMV and the rematch in MSG. Both good matches, WMV being one of my favourites. Loved the story.
Watched Savage v Warrior in the Boston Garden from Feb. 1989 as well. Good match. Savage always seemed to get the most of Warrior. Rude came down to ringside and Savage turned after the match shaking hands with Rude. Very enjoyable.
Boy were the 80's & 90's crowds great! For some reason I love the ring from then as well, even the sound.

I watched Wrestlemania 5 and 6 yesterday , the full ppv's are on youtube. Is it just me or was wrestling back then just much more intense and entertaining as it is today? Cause when WWE is on tv, I can hardly watch it. It's making me itch. Can't help it. Or is it me just getting too old? (36)

Watched RVD vs. Kane from Summerslam 2003 and Elimination Chamber from Survivor Series 02. RVD vs. Kane wasn't too bad, I liked it but it wasn't a great match by RVD standards. Elimination Chamber was awesome though. And reading Chris Jericho's stories from his book on how Booker came out when Kane was supposed to and how the cage screwed up RVD's frog splash and crushed HHH's throat really have me a better appreciation for the match. RVD vs. Lynn is next on my watch list.

I'm 20, and although I love current day WWE, a lot of my most loved wrestling/wrestlers are from before I was even born.

I'm 39,and fondly remember those days.I attribute it to 3 things: 1) craftsmanship. back then,it was about telling a compelling story,with characters you wanted to see. these days it's about making choices that enhance the stock offerings. 2) Vinnie Mac wasn't king of the world yet. he had to actually do the work to make people tune into his product or buy his PPV's. now,the WWE brand name sells itself. 3) the wrestlers cared. we were still back in the old school days,where wrestlers worried about their craft and giving the fans their money's worth. today,all the "Superstars" are corporate mascots,and don't work as hard to give the best match or get the crowd going. they're getting paid no matter what,and even if they suck,the WWE Machine will try and fit them in somewhere. back then,you had to work for your money,and if you sucked,or weren't over,you were outta there! someone said in an interview not that long ago(can't remember who),that a lot of guys show up to Raw or Smackdown and hope they don't get picked for a match,cause they're still going to get paid even if they just sit on their ass.back in the 70's, 80's,and 90's, if you didn't work,you didn't get paid! and the better your work and character was,the higher on the card you got put. and the higher on the card you got put,the more money you made.now,you're guaranteed a base amount before you even lace up the boots for the 1st time.

Daniel Bryan was the one who said guys rather sit in the back and hope they don't get picked. It's rather sad guys rather just play games and hope to not go out there and work to get better. Those guys would be eaten alive in the 70's, 80's, & 90's
