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.
Vanilla midgets, one might say
No kayfabe with El Santo - just pure goodness <3
