Wrestlers who could lose and still look good.
Austin.
The Rock.
Mick Foley.
An upper-midcard which was believable when put into the main event. Even the jobbers looked good. Sure, nobody thought Richards or Venis was taking the title, but it beats the guys currently on the "Undercard."
Believability in general. Wrestling is a lie, but they made it a lie we wanted to believe. It felt like anything could happen. These days, you don't get many "out of nowhere" moves, the matches feel like they can only go one way, etc.
Spots. This hurts the industry as several people really stepped shit up. The downside is you get the aftermath--TNA. Totally Nonsensical Acrobatics.
Organic comedy segments that were funny, instead of JUST a catchphrase. Edge and Christian sort of stuff. Cena's one of the worst offenders, but "Damn" is just as bad.
