"Golden Age" Main Events...

This is pretty much a random rant, but i felt it deserved discussion. So let me know if you feel the same way as im going to describe.

It was just the other day that i was thinking of some of the Main Events from the past during the run of the nWo, Original DX, Rock and Austin gaining star power, and it made me think about how much i really cared about the main events at those times.

I remember Starcade, cant remember the year, but the main event was Piper vs Hogan. The whole ppv did such a good job building to that main event as did the previous Nitros and PPVs. Now around this time i was aware of the basic aspects of what goes on the behind the scenes and i knew whom the talented wrestlers were. So i knew that these two were old, past their prime, and were politics, but that main event meant so much to me, i couldnt wait to see it.

Another example would be Bret Hart vs Shawn Michales iron man match. Again such great build up and booking, i could not wait to see these two go at it, even though their popularity was not at its peak and WWF was struggling with its loss to it starts going to WCW.

My point is, I dont nearly care 1/4 as much with current main events as i did back then, and with the talent that WWE has it should not be that way. Booking needs to change drastically to attract viewers, and they dont even have to use the greatest technical wrestlers either. Just to give main events that feel again of your really going to see something special would do so much to boost the business back up.
