Has the wrestling business stopped being "old school"?

When do you think the wrestling business stopped being "old school"? What I mean is, back in the day, if someone had a problem with someone else, they may decide to take it out on them in the ring by working them extra stiff, throwing some "potatoes", etc. Or, if a promoter had a problem with someone, he had certain talent he could depend on to take care of it for him.
It just seems like if these things were still happening, you would probably hear about it online. So, when did things like this stop happening? Is this the natural evolution of the biz in a corporate environment? What are everyone's thoughts?
