Let's be fair, Noid's Noid posts are at the least original and at most entertaining if not realistic. This on the other hand is another "Whawawa, I liked wrestling the way it was when I was a kid and/or teenager".
Whilst OK does have a point about judging other mediums in the same way, I do think there is something there with regard to "attachment to the product".
Most of us got into wrestling when we were kids, when the wrestlers were live action cartoon characters/superheroes with God-like physiques. We didn't know out was staged, we bought into the spectacle and showmanship of it all.
The Attitude Era saw us though our teenage years - a period of life notorious for rebellion and, well, attitude. What we saw on screen reflected how we felt. Stone Cold's Devil May Care, action-without-considering-the-ramifications persona probably connected with us more than we realised.
Nowadays the product isn't geared towards us, the late-20s, early-30s crowd. Perhaps we don't have the same connection we previously had.
Either way, the product is still enjoyable, to me at least.
