Remember when pro wrestlers used to go all out like this with characters - now it’s just bland boring types.

What are you talking about? Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock were amazing characters. Those 2 plus HHH and Degeneration X made the attitude Era amazing.

I was into pro wrestling as a little kid. My favorite was Rey Mysterio. Was he cool or did I just have shit taste at 8?

The rock in attitude era gimmick is the best

You misspelled the Outsiders/NWO- until everyone started bitching that they weren't a part of it, so the roster expanded to where duds like Konnan and Disco Inferno were in the NWO/NWO Wolfpack. WCW was a cunt hair away from putting WWE out of business and then the

Nah- they were all right. Vince used to like his wrestlers larger than life, but then he started signing a lot of 5'10 215 lb dudes and I swear it attracted a fuck load of soy boy fans. Also, when the internet became huge, it fucking killed kayfabe. Back in the 70's-early 90's atleast 30%-40% of wrestling fans thought that the shit was real and the crowds reflected that. It's a moment in time that will sadly, never be recaptured.

Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich

With Macho Man Randy Savage there was no kayfabe, he just WAS.

Kerry Von Erich was the shit. My favorite as a kid, but I dug them all really.

The idea that it was real would have been completely killed by MMA.

This is a bad take.

Stonecold and The Rock were cornerstone characters, and charismatically larger than life.

This is a bad take.

The rock postponed his new panty line because of racisms.

You just caused one of the least productive but most entertaining internet rabbit hole dives I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I never watched any WWF but I just spent the last hour laughing my ass off. So thank you.
