Mildly interesting article:
10 worst things about wrestling in the 80s
If you don't want to sift thru, here is the list:
10. Syndication (different regions saw diff. events)
9. Hard life on the road for wrestlers
8. Too many DQs/Countouts (TV wasn't as important)
7. Weak finishing moves
6. Less entrance music
5. Bullying
4. Slow pace
3. Steroids
2. Sexism
1. Racism
4 and 6 aren't great in a vacuum, but I think we've gone way too far in the other direction w/fast paced, zero psychology matches and worthless finishers.
