I was going to make the same joke as Loopy, so kudos.

I find old WWE PPVs hard to watch from a match quality standpoint. You can really tell how horrible most of the workers were back then, at least compared to the top guys today.

But the one thing that makes old wrestling fun is the angles. Because they didn't have as much TV time to fill, the angles were usually really well done and memorable. And also a lot of the time, seeds for angles were planted months and months in advance. Anyone who has all the PPvs from Mania IV to V should watch the interaction between Savage, Hogan and Elizabeth, it was clear they had a year-long plan, and when they finally pulled the trigger it was really good.
