Anything I may have missed about WWE, they've more than made up for it by having the greatest wrestling product in history at the moment.

I miss when wrestlers were 7 feet tall and 400lbs! These subpar 200lbs Johnny Paint Cans don't look like WWE superstars! They're supposed to be larger than life. Mufasi Ali is smaller than me and I'm a skinny guy.

So after going back and watching some classic moments in WWE, i realised there's one thing i miss so much in WWE. It's a small detail to some extent but i feel like it made the presentation of the product more special, the thing i miss is the camera flashes from the crowd. One of the classic moments i watched was when Edge speared Jeff Hardy at WM17, right when Edge jumped the entire arena filled with flashes and made that moment feel even more special and monumental. Every big moment back then and through the 2000's had this and it just made those moments even better. Obviously technology is more advanced now and you can just snap a pic in seconds without a flash, but i think it'd be awesome if at WrestleMania, then entire arena filled with flashes when Rollins hits the finishing Curb Stomp on Lesnar, ridding the beast. Another small thing about WWE i miss is actual Entrance videos, it's just boring as f*ck now with the wrestler's names just slapped over a generic background. What are some small things you miss about WWE? Man, I didn’t even realize I missed the flashes until now It’s not really a “small” thing, IMO, but cameras that weren’t constantly zooming in and out and cutting away and shaking all over the place. It’s so nice to watch old matches and actually be able to focus on the action.

I miss the non 50-50 booking.
This 50-50 crap is awful. Win streaks used to matter. I still remember arguing with my friends at school whether Tazz's win in a triple threat counted as Kurt Angle losing or not. Goldberg's probably wouldn't have exploded like he did without his win streak. Why would WWE think 50-50 is a good idea?

I agree about the flash bulbs adding to special moments.
I miss the way they used to light the weekly show so the whole crowd was lit up. It felt like I was watching a live sports event rather than a studio audience.
I miss smoke lingering in the arena for the first few minutes of matches after the pyro from wrestlers' entrances.
I miss on-location or on-set segments for storyline, like wrestlers getting into fights at each other's houses, the super market, a pub etc.

TV 14 rating. Better commentary. Commentary that doesn’t sound robotic. They don’t need 3 people commenting.

Do you miss pyro? I will admit that as a kid, playing with my figures, I'd open my 'shows' by making pyro noises then humb the Raw is War theme. I'm sure I'm not alone on this forum in doing so.

- Actual stages and not that LED crap
- Pyro
- Unpredictability (back in the day, you could say that some of the midcarders and upper carders had a random shot at winning) with the way it is now you know if for example: if Luke Gallows fought Seth, that Seth would win. It’s just too obvious...
- I really miss some of the collabs that wwe would do, like the slurpees etc
- Storylines and actual build up to PPV’s
- Last but not least, actual characters. A lot of the gimmicks were great back then, some weren’t. For the most part there were a lot of memorable characters. Currently, we have guys switching gimmicks in a matter of two weeks before being a jobber and then released. I don’t think we’ll ever reach another era to make stars like stone cold, the rock, Kane, the undertaker, Kurt angle etc. Promos seem robotic and more cookie cutter like. I say the wwe let some of the wrestlers loosen up a bit and give us some characters to actually invest in.

WWE video games that are actually fun and not full of gamebreaking glitches that take eight months to patch.

I was thinking about this the other day. I miss seeing the flash and people don't seem to have signs anymore I remember arenas would be full of fan made signs back in the day.
I miss pyro don't mind the stages not being unique anymore but the pyro adds to the performers entrance anything that adds to a performers character is great.
And blood. Adds a sense of realism.

Special stages for each ppv. Theme songs for ppv’s that weren’t sh*tty pop music. 2 hour Raws. Opening intro music to Raw and Smackdown. Brand specific ppv’s. Brands only cross when there’s a big 4. The giant Smackdown fist
There’s a lot more but I digress

Wrestling in the 80s? Or the decade in general? 2 hour Raws. Brand specific ppv’s. Brands only cross when there’s a big 4. I like these ideas, especially the brand specific PPV's. If they did 4 PPV's for just RAW and 4 just for Smackdown then do 4 combined PPV's (Rumble, Mania, Summer Slam, and Survivor Series) this could help with the building feuds. If the feud didn't have to be on every PPV feuds could last a bit longer. I would also add not having guys who are feuding, and going to be wrestling at a PPV or two, to not wrestle each other every Raw or Smackdown (kind of like a few years ago how Zayn and Owens seemed to fight on TV every time).
