True, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather or Val Venis, but on the other hand, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather and Val Venis. Guys like that were fun during that era, but this is not that era.
During the Attitude Era everybody was over. You could have a raw filled with vignettes and a Headbangers v. Oddities match and then Stone Cold drove his car to the ring and stunned Vince and it would do a 5.9 rating. Yet today, people complain about the lack of wrestling in Raw. I miss guys being able to curse and I miss blood when it's called for. But I don't miss all the other excess.
The black and white is a pain in the ass for those of us that watched the blood in color when it happened, but ultimately makes sense in trying to be consistant with the rest of their current product.

Only thing I miss is certain diva's not being allowed to dress more scantily than they are allowed right now (see: Mickie James - yeah she's not quite as in shape when she debuted but so the fuck what? TNA's Awesome Kong has NEVER been in shape in her life I'm pretty sure, and she fucking wears black and blonde dreads and a fucking skimpy ass breastplate armor thing, for a woman who's 272 3/8 lbs., LOL at the 3/8s, THAT is unacceptble. I know we're not discussing TNA TV policy but still, would it really kill anyone to see mickie in skimpy tops and back in skirts where she belongs? I wouldn't object, as she is one damn fine lady...)
