A full-on 70's approach wouldn't work today. But the basics needed to build up characters over time remain the same.

As far as the matches, I don't see why anyone would care. Why is a great technical wrestling match appealing if it doesn't matter worth a shit? I'm not saying every match needs to be part of a specific storyline. But when neither character has a direction to the point where the outcome doesn't matter because there's no consistency in how "strong" either guy looks, why does it matter who wins? And if it doesn't matter who wins, why should anyone care about the match at all? I'd rather watch a 2 minute squash match that tells the story of a monster working his way through the roster on his way to the top than a 20 minute "technical masterpiece" between two guys who are gonna look like shit next month... then suddenly be strong for a month... then job the next... then suddenly get pushed again...
