What would fans complain about if the internet existed then?

That Damn Diesel getting that Huge push that Bret Should've got!

Doink 100%.

Hogan burying talent lol.

That is a tough one, because back in the 80s before there was the ".com" craze as Paul Ellering would tell us in 1998, the wrestling fans were more accepting of things. Fans legit cheered on George Steele for being a moron. Fans hated The Hart Foundation and Danny Davis. Maybe the only complaint would be why certain guys didn't win titles back then. Like I could see people being upset that Andre didn't beat Hogan at III, or that Orndorff didn't beat Hogan at The Big Event, but then so many people were Hogan fans back then, that maybe not a lot would have cared??

"The Yeti? Really? I'm officially done with WCW".

I was just about to add this.

Even if the internet was in play in the early 90s for fans let's say, are we assuming kayfabe was dead? I think kayfabe would have still been very much alive. If that's the case, then the complaints really wouldn't be about pushes or burials; it would have been more likely to be about "why my favourite wrestler deserves to be champion."

On another note,

I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was to find out decades later that "Liz Hunter" didn't really exist as a journalist for those Apter magazines. I used to think how cool (and hot) this woman must be to love this sport like I do. Ohhh kayfabe.

The exact same things I complained about with my friends when wrestling became cool again in the 90s and with my parents in the years that predated it. You think the creation of the Internet created complaints? People were complaining about storylines and who was heavily featured on a routine basis.

I remember telling my friends about how this whole thing has dragged on long enough with Sting and Hogan. They need to fight already. I remember telling my friends how stupid it was for a pig farmer to be wrestling. I remember complaining about how Alex Wright went from undefeated to a huge losing stream and how he needed to do something about it.

It's only now that we're complaining about pushes because we're older and able to tell the difference between fact and fiction. No one over the age of 10 today believes a convict is able to get work release just to wrestle. So no one would be complaining about that.

Hogan

I hated him as a kid. I hated the hulking up, and never losing to Randy.

I hated when he stole Bret Hart's thunder at WrestleMania.

I always found him detestable

If you look around hard enough, you can find old forums and websites with people bitching about the Attitude Era and early Ruthless Aggression era. Stuff that I loved as a kid, but adults back then seemed to just loathe everything about the product. The more things change...
